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

    The forum software only allows a thread to get so large and then it is cut off. A new thread is then started to continue it. In the case of this thread I believe the first thread was closed and then continued by the "Redux" that was eventually closed and continued with the "Sequel to the...

    Nicotine

    100% agree. I've never made a smaller batch than 15ml and if I'm using small percentages of flavor in particular, I will make a 30 ml batch. To large a margin of error with smaller batches.

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

    I haven't been to this tread in a few days and I see a lot of people have grabbed up some of the remaining S-bodys. This is an awesome mod and I have been singing it's praise for a few months on here now. If 40w will do it for you it is one of the best little mods on the market. I bought one...

    New member, and hope to be new DIYer

    I would not recommend getting premixed. It is easier and more versatile for most to get them separately. For an intro to mixing (weight based but it transfers either way) check out the thread Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    DIY Mysteries #1009: "Why did I order [Flavor]?"

    Yup, that was one of mine. I don't remember exactly when I created it but I did it as a works in progress kind of thing in a thread here as I was going along. With a quick search I found that I posted it in completion back in Sept. Strawberry and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream . No worries, it was...

    DIY Mysteries #1009: "Why did I order [Flavor]?"

    Unless we some how created the same recipe at the same time with the same name, that was my recipe that I posted here a couple of months ago and re-posted recently.

    Splitting up 2 liters of nic for long term storage

    Burns like a sumbatch it does. Even more so the second time your dumb enough to do the same thing again :(

    Can I microwave my ejuice to speed up steeping?

    I would not recommend direct microwaving. Nuke a cup of water and then let the bottle sit in it. Do this several times if you wish.

    Why is lower nic juice more flavorful?

    There is the fact that we like the way the nic. makes us feel. I like things that make me feel good :) I am down to 1.5mg but every time I try for 0 nic it is a no go. I'm pretty sure that, at least in my case, a lot of that "thing" that is missing is the way it makes me feel.

    Why is lower nic juice more flavorful?

    Agree. It's simple math and psychics. Changing the amount of nic. WILL NOT change the amount of flavor added or the percentage ratio. Only the VG/PG will change. If you can't grasp the concept then run the numbers through your calculator. Changing the Nic. amount does not change the amount...

    Why is lower nic juice more flavorful?

    Because Nic. isn't all that tasty on its own (although some like it) and when you lower the percentage of the less desirable taste then the more you get the good taste coming through. At least that has been my theory. It is also why I think high percentage mixing was more popular with higher...

    Well I'm diving into DIY!

    You taught your wife how to pour from a mason jar in to a 60ml without spilling a drop, I would think you would be able to use a dropper bottle competently but, we all have our shortcomings. I bet if you did in fact give weight base an honest try, you would be able to do it without screwing it...

    ISO french vanilla flavoring and DIY suggestions

    I have vaped Flavor West French Vanilla at 12% for about three years now. It was my very first All Day Vape. Pick up a gallon of Vg from Bulk Apothecary or Essential Depo. Whoops, just noticed you wanted a VG based flavor. FW is PG based.

    Well I'm diving into DIY!

    (Sigh) And there are a few certain members on here who will rail against people who suggest using weight based measuring because THEY don't do it that way. They will say it is not easier or faster or cleaner even though they readily admit that they have never once, mixed a batch of E-juice by...

    So I've decided to mix my own juice

    If what you pictured is all you have then you may be disappointment. Most fruits are not all that good on their own and often require a base such as Vanilla custard, sweet cream, etc. My general rule for Flavor West is usually around 12% and Capella much lower around 3-4%. Those are just...

    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005UGBG20?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 This scale works fine. My main beef with it is it has an auto shut off mode when in battery mode. I find this mildly irritating if I'm not being timely when I am in the middle of a mix.

    All my diys taste burnt!

    It sounds to me like you may have some dirty nic. Is your nic clear and nearly colorless? Have you tried making a batch of 0 nic. and see how that taste?

    Vanilla ice cream?

    It's "Berry Berry Good" :D You just have to keep your thumb on the raspberry. That stuff is strong and will take right over.
