    A better option would be to select the recipe you want to change - to either add OR reduce. Then select 'Tools->Modify Existing Recipe' - then make your modifications and it will tell you how much to add of each ingredient to keep all ratios intact. After you've made the changes shown on THAT...

    Fear-mongering in Milwaukee - 8 hospitalized

    Yes, this was actually balanced. They mentioned some JUUL pods being contaminated. It's entirely plausible that someone could be refilling the pods and selling it for cheaper. Pod expense is why I'll never go to pods. All I should say though, is that now... I really AM worried. :(

    The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

    Now that I'm starting to not inhale nic vapor, I'm worried that I may not have enough MTL RTA's (are MTL RDA's even a thing?). So how does one find out about good [Edit: rebuildable-only] MTL stuff, that isn't just a paid advertisement by vape reviewers - Youtube or elsewhere? Note that I get...

    The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

    Hey, finally another flashaholic! I seem to keep my problem in check, though (a while after I start seriously considering a high-end ;)). I only have a couple dozen or so lower end 10440, 14500, and 18650 ones - maybe a couple medium-end. But it seems I start going crazy again once I need to...

    Fear-mongering in Milwaukee - 8 hospitalized

    I love this part: "The short- and long-term effects of vaping are still being researched, but these recent hospitalizations have shown that there is the potential for immediate health consequences." IMMEDIATELY followed by: "IDPH said they have been unable to identify the exact chemicals...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Sorry, I meant more like governmental-related calls for heads-on-a-plate against lithium-ion batteries -- like "Lithium-free Kids" or something.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Question though: Has anybody heard of ANYTHING that suggests to restrict lithium-ion batteries to consumers yet? I don't think there has been, but I'm not the most up-to-date on news. I tend to think of this battery talk as another sky-is-falling, like we've been having for DIY nicotine for...

    Have you heard any reports similar to this, there? ...If you follow news (news is way too depressing all the time, so I don't regularly). (Let's just say I'm concerned.)

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    While I don't do all that cause I have no convenient way to, another tip is to charge when it gets down to somewhere's around 3.5V or a bit above, IIRC. Lithium batteries like more frequent shallow charges. For those interested, this is where I would have read that info...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I'll likely still almost certainly be using the same flashlights (flashaholic here - yes, it's a thing)! Especially now that I have all the equipment to do such things, I'll likely have them for much longer now -- since I'll be able to do all my own soldering and reflow work. (Well, still...

    Fear-mongering in Milwaukee - 8 hospitalized

    Yeah, I 100% agree with your sentiment, @HigherStateD , ALL THE WAY! TRUST ME! :thumb: But talk relating to our stuff, in this particular thread, I think should be limited to how it directly relates to the OP. But absolutely EVERYBODY can get carried away at times with small talk and...

    Fear-mongering in Milwaukee - 8 hospitalized

    Well, agree it's getting a bit quite OT. And I really do apologize for my part here, everybody. And agree, we really should stop. But this subject (albeit more generally, of course) really IS in the subject within the articles posted in the OP. And I hope the news finders keep us posted as...

    Yep, I'll admit.. 'Tis a balancing act for me, for sure. Well, with extreme fatigue ALSO just so happening to be a major hallmark of my disability. :facepalm: :blush: But OTOH, you'd be shocked at how little of a difference there really is. Even still, having just gotten back into it this...

    Fear-mongering in Milwaukee - 8 hospitalized

    Oh absolutely, they are - but still can be a bit harsh on the throat (though seems to help with nausea more than the carts, I find). And VASTLY improved taste! There is no comparison at all! Just like nic vaping vs. cigarettes -- NO comparison on improved taste and smell, all around. I used...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Ah, exactly like de-decaffeinating coffee and tea, then. With the same problems, such as with unscrupulous producers of the cheap, generally China, loose-leaf teas. In my younger-and-stupider years, I remember getting a HUGE ~20LB bag or so of Chinese loose-leaf Pu'er tea for $5 and thinking I...

    It actually doesn't mix with PG or VG, nor our type of flavorings. (Just as an FYI) (EDIT, at least not in my experiments, @HigherStateD. ;) Although, it's most absolutely definitely certainly possible I could have screwed something up, or am remembering something wrong here. I really...

    Are you serious -- you were a professional inhaler that, I assume inhaled your cigarettes, but never inhaled your nic vape? <scratches head> :blink: But congrats on staying off the stinkies (more like putrids) for 6 months! Ugh! And I shouldn't even get myself started on the stench...

    Chronic pain here as well. And my condition also comes with a sprinkling of nausea, to boot. Yay, me! :w00t: But over 3.3watts gets into scratchy/coughy territory for my particular set of lungs. Although, I'll say, during my recent 3-week pneumonia stint, I've come to the realization that I...

    Fear-mongering in Milwaukee - 8 hospitalized

    Ah, thanks! That's been bugging me since I discovered them about 8 months ago! :confused: And it would make sense as well, since there's simply nothing smokey-tasting to them at all.. And according to my Koopor Mini set to 3 Watts (+/- 0.3) normally, it's showing 2.57v at 2.2ohms...
