    24 AWG Stainless core, N80 or Kanthal wrap ?

    Thats kind of what I'm asking, in theory the wrap doesn't conduct electricity at all because the current always takes the path of least resistance, so the wrap is just a heat sink, so I was thinking maybe the finer N80 would work best ?

    24 AWG Stainless core, N80 or Kanthal wrap ?

    Hi, Pretty much as per title, I can't get anything finer then 28 AWG Stainless wire here in NZ, I'm using 24 AWG Stainless for a core, So I was considering using N80 or Kanthal to wrap claptons as up to 40 AWG is readily available in Kanthal or N80. I guess its a 3 part question, N80 or...

    Recommendations for me

    Hi, I'm feeling pretty lost in this new world of options we have for RDA's and TC mods etc. I've spent days looking over all the new gear out there and can't make up my mind at all, The last time I brought vape gear was when the iTaste SVD was the lastest and greatest, I still have mine but...

    Caramel original or Caramel Candy?

    Flavorah caramel is the flavour I'm loving the most atm even if it is a supporting flavour in my juices ( I've not used it above 2%). Its more of a real caramel sauce flavour then a artificial candy, I'm new to DIY but have mostly flavourart stuff myself and all of them are very true to there...

    Best way to seal these bottles

    I guess I could buy some replacement caps, I'm from New Zealand everything is just a hassle to get here and costly but I haven't brought my dooms day supply of nicotine base just yet so I will need more bottles anyway. I do have about 1.5 years supply I wanted to store in these bottle and...

    Best way to seal these bottles

    Hi, I brought some VG from a online store health store and saw they sold Amber bottles for storing essential oils, I know some essential oils evaporate if not completely Air tight so naturally assumed the bottles they sold for storing essential oils would have a polycel seal. I was wrong there...

    Where am I going wrong?

    Thank you for all your responses. I feel a bit impatient now, this afternoon I revisited the first mix I made the soy sauce is gone and I can taste the vanilla, the only thing I'm thinking now is I need something to make the vanilla and caramel "pop" maybe something sweet like Brown Sugar or...

    Where am I going wrong?

    Thanks for your responses. I've just mixed up 1 in a 30ml and the other in a 15ml bottle so not to much lost, I should probably mention I'm mixing at Max VG so maybe your right JCinFLA. Those % I'm using are what others seem to use in there own recipes for those particulate flavours, I can...

    Where am I going wrong?

    Hi, New to DIY here, I've made up a couple of juices so far and the flavour has been very disappointing, I'm not sure why but my juices smell great vaped I can smell everything I put in there quite well but the flavour is very mute. My 1st attempt I've adjusted a Pistachio RY4 recipe to try...

    Should I be annoyed ?

    It's 100% legal to import for personal use but I did consider maybe this could be the reason, doesn't matter now I'm satisfied that it is indeed nicotine base. I was just a bit concerned about the lack of labeling.

    Should I be annoyed ?

    It's not as scientific as a nicotine test kit but I've given my test juice a vape and it seems spot on so I'd assume its 100 mg.

    Should I be annoyed ?

    I've made up a brew just giving it a bit of a warm water steep before I test it out, Maybe your right there just flat out or its because I'm international and they wanted to make sure it got to me.

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    My HHV order arrived in New Zealand today :toast: After 15 days long wait I'm finally going to get to try Gaia and restock my old favourites of theirs. HHV's service is amazing I've yet to have a order even take 3 days to ship out and they only charge 8 USD to ship to New Zealand, That's...

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    All worth it IMO, Love this 3-Crown, leaves a spicy tobacco taste on my lips, not sweet and has that "real thing" feel to the vape. As annoyed as I am with NET.com service, will have to reorder from them when there sorted :vapor:

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    On the subject of gunk, the 100%VG NET.com juices I've got are off the charts gunky, 2 days dripping and my coil had become a solid black mass, you couldn't see coils anymore. Using cotton wicks, 27 gauge kanthal at 0.9 Ohms, big coils, lots of space between them, After lots of testing with...

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    Received my NET.com order on July 19th after a long 3 and a half month wait, they threw in a 5mL sample and upgraded me to a glass bottle ... Juice is nice but a free 5mL sample and glass bottle doesn't really make up for the lack of communication and long wait. A simple mass E-Mail somewhere in...

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    Got my shipped e-mail today too, still says "Electronic shipping information received" on the USPS website but I'm also hoping that means its actually been posted. The only problem for me is I've moved house in the time I've been waiting, I tried to change my shipping address 1 week after...
