Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

[DavidOck]

Clear nail polish is an essential item in any DIY'ers gadget box.

Mark your batteries for pairing with a sharpie, coat with cnp. Won't come off. And won't make the battery bigger, like a covering of tape will, which may interfere with fit in some mods.

Coat your syringe and cylinder markings.

I have no experience with Inawara flavors, but that sounds low to me. At 2-5% I wouldn't be able to taste most of my flavors. But I've stuck to TFA so far, so INW % may indeed be good that low, I don't know.

ETA-Not sure I added anything useful, but...

I agree that sounds low, but the research I've done that's the percentage most seem to use. I should have enough wiggle room for up to 10% flavor and still hit my 36mg.
I'm planning to stay with a 60/40 mix, pg strong, as it's what I use, like and works in most of my tanks well enough.
I'm leaning towards the throat hit nic because I'm told it's somewhat comparable to my NET juices and very decently priced.

Good idea, I use tiny dots of different colors that I got from Amazon.

I think that you can use what you have learned as a guide line for the percentage of flavor. I think that this is an area in where things can differ from one person to the next. I have followed some flavor profiles and found them to either be too strong or too weak. When it comes to flavoring IMHO there are many variables.

Not every flavor company use the same formula. Some of my mixes might have 10% flavor and some might have 25%. Not everyone has the same taste buds and in my case they're practically non existent.

So I guess what I'm saying is that there will be a lot of trial and error till you find what you enjoy making.

Speaking of bling, I wanted to fit these somewhere in here for Kat---blingy lips to go with blingy PVs and blingy drip tips:

These are absolutely gorgeous

One of my main decorating pieces is rocks, so I have a lot of nice geodes, would love to try something like this for New Years:

I think you may HAVE to click on the link to see them, because they won't post:

Geode lips as an Instagram beauty trend are too dazzling to behold

These are nice too (esp. if you like to eat or kiss)

The evolution progressith.

(Thanks, Race!)

Very true, my 710 clone was close to 20% flavors, I'm dreading revisiting those notes!
But for now I'm just trying to save some cash and have some basic flavors to start off with. Once I find out this nic will work for me, I'm only ordering 120ml to test with, then I'll add more flavors and try complicated blends.

ETA-Not sure I added anything useful, but...

All Inawara I have used are very strong and 1% to 2% has been the max I have been able to use. They are some of the closest flavors to the real thing I have ever used, almost to close for me and i do not mix with them very often. My regular tobacco I use is TFA DK Tobacco 3% with Black Honey Tobacco 1.5% and light menthol to finish it off.

To me, clear nail polish will always be remembered as the remedy for runs in panty hose.

Good idea, I use tiny dots of different colors that I got from Amazon.

Hey, what about using a light nail polish to put on batteries that are too dark to write on, like the tootsie rolls? Then, once it dries, you can finally write on it with marker!

That sounds pretty good.

All of ECF was slow last night. Maybe they were having a party and just did not invite us...

...umm..the last time I went for a run in my pantyhose I didn't take clear nail polish with me, and it all turned out fine...

That might work. I picked up a Brother Label maker and use that for my batteries, and a number of other things.

Silver or gold sharpie for that!

Mebbe.....

I have a couple of box mods that have very close tolerances for the battery. I used to mark my batteries and then cover with a strip of clear tape - but even just that small extra bit on the diameter made them too snug.

I haven't run across that problem yet but I understand that it could happen.

I have one mech tube that the tolerance is so tight it messed up two batt wraps...

Been quiet over here. Our entire state lost power yesterday for 5 hours (extreme weather event) and more expected today.

Dinner by candle light. We knew it was coming so all the batteries were charged early. GT is still flooded and without power, mallee finally got a hot cuppa at 1.30 this morning.

I don't really "like" this, but I'm hoping all are o.k. Sending blessings and hopes for quick recoveries.
