I don't think I've been anything but nice to you. If you disagree you might explain why. I've certainly never said anything to you quite as rude as "if you want to be that guy" is. But I'm not particularly offended- it is rare that I really take offense.

The thicc is strong with this one.

Well, I apologize if my post seemed rude- I didn't mean it that way, but looking back on it I can see how it might be taken that way. I hope you know I hold you in very high esteem. I am a bit concerned about tendency to soften things in order to avoid conflict.. I understand it, but I am not...

Yep- I mix my own juice, and depending on the recipe it can go from almost clear to black as midnight in a few months. This is probably mainly a matter of oxidation.

Ay, there's the rub. In order to know which concerns are important and which are overblown you do have to understand the dangers. I guess my perspective is partially a result of having grown up in a time when people were perhaps less cautious and partially a result of having done some...

Hmm- I believe you entirely, but I suspect you are unusual in this regard. I don't have a lot of experience with DTL tanks though... I have pretty much either MTLd with tanks or DTLd with RDAs. I wonder if there might be some difference there. Because, tbh, even though I like nic a lot I kind of...

Yep, absolutely. But controlling for individual differences, equipment and vaping style (which is very tied to equipment) is a huge factor. As I said above, I can see how one might think 18mg very high if they started with a good modern DTL setup. But throw 18mg in a circa 2011 cartomizer on a...

And you Vape MTL, IIRC? I mainly DTL in RDAs these days, but I did MTL for a long time, and even with good modern tanks 18mg was my preferred strength. For me it’s really about total intake- in an MTL setup around 20 Watts I go through about a third the juice I would in an airy RDA. Not...

I started with 24-32mg, and yes it was on terrible fixed voltage egos, many years ago. A friend of mine used to vape 48mg unflavored 100% VG in an iClear 16 (shudder.) High nic is making a comeback though with nic salts and pod systems. What level is appropriate depends a lot on your equipment...

Ah- well I don't think that's the case. I've been on these forums much longer than I've been a supporting member and I didn't see any change in moderation once I became one. The forums are actually very lightly moderated. What I meant is what you describe- on the occasions I've used profanity...

To engage in a little bit of meta-commentary I'm a bit concerned about how quickly pro-forma disclaimers that arose around subjective measures (I like this and I don't like that, etc.) have moved into the objective realm. Taste is subjective. I like this, you like that, we can agree to...

Ah- you have my sympathies. My grip is still fine, but I have nerve troubles elsewhere, and they are no fun, to put it mildly.

Luckily for me my mother could never open them so she relied on me to open them for her from the time I was three or so. Opening child-proof caps is one of those skills (like having a native-sounding accent in a given language) best picked up as early as possible. If you haven't learned to open...

Hmm- I must have missed some recent developments, cause... I try not to use much profanity here, but I have been known to occasionally forget, the system just stars the words for me to the degree it wants to, and we all get on with our lives. I always thought that was a good compromise. Has that...

Hmm- there are some rules about discussing nic concentrations over 100 mg here (though I hope they would be relaxed a little in discussing safety in cases like yours.) Still, I want to tread lightly around this, but... I don't think that should worry you if you're OK now- the harmful effects...

I completely agree with you, but... at times when I've intentionally vaped quite a lot of nicotine I noticed not just the immediate signs you describe, which do go away pretty quickly, but also as the day wore on a somewhat different set that seemed to have more to do with cumulative intake and...

I'm afraid that I don't vape enough commercial juice to know just how bad the names are, but I'm tempted to come up with worse. I was going to propose a competition, but then I came up with a plausible juice name and description that would almost certainly get me permanently banned from ECF, so...

Does it matter? I wouldn't call using a one-shot DIY, but who cares? Does mixing that one-shot give you everything you want at a price you're happy with? If so, just do that. If not you might give mixing a try but... it's all about mixing things you like at a price you like. Mixing can be a lot...

What?

Well we were saying very much the same thing all along weren't we? If we disagreed it was only in how to express certain things, and if my analogy to salt pleases you you should consider yourself at least half its author. It would not have occurred to me absent our slight disagreement over...
