    Who was it you ordered from Red? How was the odor and taste. I still need to pick up at least another gallon.

    Essential Depot VG varieties

    Well, there shouldn't be anything left of the host plant for them to react to so allergies shouldn't be a worry but I just stuck with palm because......well I'm not really sure why but I did :)

    Thanks Amanda. It is the weekend and all so I guess we could cut some slack there but the rest does not sound good. I think I'll scratch this one off the list.

    A little help in mixing plz?

    This product appears to be is a finished 0mg E-liiquid. It is apple-ice flavor, not apple-ice flavoring. It is not meant to be mixed again. If it was triple strength it might be strong enough to hole up to your mix down. You'll have to vape it and see. As to the white coloring, don't ask us...

    Little itty bitty mods under $100.

    A D cell and a light bulb filament would be an upgrade to the Endura line.

    I paid $25 for a liter of TH, the least I have ever paid, and it is some of the nicest nick I have used. A whole lot of people think expensive=better. Well, sometimes yes and sometimes no. It just seems to make some people feel better to pay more, whether they are getting better quality or not.

    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    Glad you had success with your first attempt! You will get the feel for how fast you can pour and how much the scale lags. I think the problem is that it is so easy that we start going to fast. You definitely need larger bottles for PG and especially the VG. I wish I had looked around and...

    Mixture

    What do you mean the calculator is not giving me any numbers? Enter Nic=0. Should work Way to much flavor and your ratio is way heavy in PG. Try a 8% flavor 30pg/70vg mix. The numbers would be flavor2.4ml - pg6.6 - vg21

    Glad it is working out for you. It really is just that easy and quick! I used to do the exact same thing with the pipettes and rubber bands but it got messy and there was often some residual. Eventually, I just bulk ordered a large quantity from china on the cheap and now, unless I think I am...
