    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    There is a tiny learning curve in getting the drops right at the end of a measure. Eventually you will know how much each drops weighs more or less and you will be hitting your numbers on the dot. Also, remember that a drop is .03 -.04g and if you are off by a drop or two in a 220ml batch, you...

    Can I use this VG for vaping?

    Kosher means it passed the test of five old Jewish guys for minimum cleanliness and adhesion to Jewish laws. To the best of my knowledge it has no % of purity attached to it and does not necessarily mean that it is any better or more pure than non Kosher. It doesn't hurt to have the rating but...

    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    I have heard people who said they were reluctant to use weight with smaller batches but it really doesn't matter, large or small, it's all to scale (see what I just did there :) ). I think it is even easier to use the scale for smaller batches as it takes the guess work out of the syringe and...

    Moving from cigs to vaping

    I am now at the point where even the smell of an analog disgust me but it took a while to get there. I dual used until my body and mind realized it could get "the stuff" from the vape. I would go as long as I felt comfortable, then light up. The time kept getting longer until one day I was...

    The FDA will probably try to ban them :( But that is a topic for another thread.

    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    And there you have it. Once you have given it a fair shot, there is no going back to dealing with syringes. It really does help to have VG in a squeeze bottle. I saw some where on here where some one was using restaurant catsup and mustard containers for VG and PG but I think a quick peruse...

    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    I encourage people to try all of their flavors as a stand alone first before trying to use them in a recipe. You need to know their flavor profiles before you can know how to use them. Mix up at least a 7 -10ml sample so you have a good idea and you can tinker with it if you want. Even if...

    New FDA regulations and effect on DIY?

    It is also good to remember that Nic. keeps very well just refrigerated. I freeze in 120ml bottles. When I pull one out of the freezer it gets broken down to one 60ml and two 30ml. I keep on 30ml out and the rest in the fridge. I have never had any turn on me at the rate I currently go...

    CoolFire4 TC18650

    They can and have gone boom in a NiteCore as well. I routinely charge externally but I feel safe charging via USB on other 18650 mods and have done so with Innokin internal products for years. Cloupor had a bad batch of on board chargers but other than that I haven't seen a failure rate...

    The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

    Sterilize? I wonder just what could live in nicotine? I think just getting the chunky stuff out would be enough, not that it could hurt to boil them but........

    New FDA regulations and effect on DIY?

    The irony of all this is that in the old days they would throw you out of a "tobacco" shop if you referred to a glass pipe as any thing other than a "tobacco" pipe. In the future, you won't be able to mention tobacco when you go in to an "other stuff" shop to buy a vaporizer. That is just...

    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    Your final ratio will be dictated by the percentage of flavor and strength of nicotine so if you have say 22% in flavorings and 3% Nic then the highest VG ratio you can achieve is 75%vg/25%pg. On the other hand, say you are using a strong FA single flavor at only 6% and the same 3% Nic then...

    Long Term Storage of Nicotine PG or VG solution?

    Actually it is 200mg/L New rules Applied to Nicotine Discussion on ECF. No discussion / sourcing of nic strengths over 200mg/20% in any of the public forums. This also includes the classifieds. If I found some 200 from a dealer I knew and trusted I would buy it for ease of storage.
