    Dilluting nicotine....?

    100mg/ml is 10% nicotine. While precautions should be taken, it is not caustic or anything. I do wear eye protection (glasses) but I do not wear gloves or apron. If I spill some on me I just go wash it off. You don't want to leave it on there and give it time to soak in and certain...

    Smelling Your Flavors by: Boogenshizzle

    That is all well and good and smelling can help a lot but some juices taste very, very different than they smell. Rather than take 20 minutes and perfume sticks trying to figure out how it might taste, I'll take five minutes and drop it in a dripper and KNOW how it taste. I just don't get...

    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    The problem for me was that I can not get the WiFi in my mixing room. Therefore, I needed an app that would run independent of internet connection. I believe all those mentioned so far are on line calculators. I guess it matter what Fidola 13 needs out of her app. If an internet based...

    Nic. River Holiday Orders?

    I did write and I did hear back saying they were working on it and then later in the day I received a shipping notice. If FedEx is on the ball I should have the flavors before my friends leave on Sunday so I can make their juice :)

    Nic. River Holiday Orders?

    I have always had good service with them and I'm sure the sale put them out but 9 days with no movement at all is a long time. I really need these for this weekend to give juice to visiting friends. E-mail sent to Info@nicriver

    Nic. River Holiday Orders?

    Did any one else order flavors from the River over the Black Friday sale? Have you seen your orders processed yet. I ordered last Saturday and still have not seen any movement. I was getting low on a few of our favorites (Strawberry Ripe!) but was waiting for the sale. I'm going to be out...

    Yay chest freezer!

    Ha! that's a big un. I bought a small one myself when it went on sale at homecheapo. Great investment all the way around for me as I love the extra freezer room my nicotine safe affords.

    DIY suppies

    As long as it goes to hundreths ( .00 ) it will be fine. There are several suggestions in the Weigh 101 thread for relatively inexpensive scales if you need one. If you are going to get in to DIY to any depth, I believe you will find weight based a lot easier, cleaner and more efficient.

    DIY suppies

    I will echo much of what has been said here: Kits contain extra stuff you don't need. Look at recipes that you think you want to make and order your flavors for those recipes. GET A SCALE It really is easier. Mixing By Weight: Basics 101 Order 100mg/ml Nic. and your VG and PG separately, not...

    Nic Base Storage: Freezer vs. Room Temp Experiment

    Frankly, I think they are going above and beyond for you. Every time I have left Nic. out for over a month or two it starts to darken, the longer the darker. This is what nic. does in a relatively warm environment and you really can't expect anything else unless you cold store it. I wouldn't...

    Nic Base Storage: Freezer vs. Room Temp Experiment

    Prefacing with the fact that taste is totally subjective; I had a bottle turn dark in that manner on me one time because I left it out for a long period of time. I was vaping 18mg then and I can tell you that, to me, that nic. was nasty. Aside from an intense peppery flavor it also tasted like...

    Cotton candy taste issue?

    I view cotton candy more as an enhancer than as a stand alone. I don't think it taste all that much like CC myself. It has the ability to bring out the sweetness in other juices. If I were to take a stab at something that tasted like a true Blue Ras CC I would try something like: FW Blue 3%...
