    Nicotine Comparisons

    I'm going to bump this because I am going to need nic soon and have been using the old VT TH for the last couple of years. Has any one tried the new stuff. I hope it isn't to throaty. I really liked the old stuff that I thought to be as smooth as most vendors regular. It is a good price as...

    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    I think all scales have some lag to them. I remember even the really expensive ones I worked with in college lagged a little.

    Recipes for Dummies

    Cotton candy is usually straight Ethyl maltol. More of an additive than a true sweetener. It definitely brings out sweetness.

    Blueberry yogurt or cheesecake?

    It starts out a little berry heavy but mellows and blends in a day or two. I actually like it both ways, fresh and steeped a little. Please report back. Bon Apetit! .

    Blueberry yogurt or cheesecake?

    The site is filtered by ECF, therefore it is kind of like Fight Club. We don't talk about Fight Club. The site is censored for a reason I guess and they don't like us playing around avoiding the filters so we refer to it rather obtusely.

    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    This isn't the first time I have seen you make this statement but I have checked mine many times with different weights and it has never been off by more than a couple of hundredths. How far off were you finding the one you have used?

    Measuring by ml or weight? Which is better

    When I was making large batches (often 1000ml or more) I would use a combination of methods. Flavors and nic got weighed and then combined with the vg and pg that were measured in to the large graduate/mixing container. But for daily personal mixing I'll stand by the weigh. I just find it so...

    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    When one sees a recipes posted, it is almost always in percentages. If the recipe is in percentages then it really doesn't matter if you use ml or grams. The percentages should be the same. I've looked at a lot of the manufacturers specified weight and they are mostly pretty close to 1...

    Measuring by ml or weight? Which is better

    Well, it's more like one way you don't have ANY pots to clean and the other way you can have a bunch of them. If you try to cook with a sledge hammer then no matter how neat you try to be, your still going to have a mess. So, another way to see it is some one is going to have a lot of pots to...

    Looking for any additives that cut throat irritation

    If I did that my eyes would bleed. And I use to hand roll 40 non filters a day. You have to seriously consider that as your culprit. Try titrating down 1mg/ml at a time over several week at each individual drop. I moved form 18 (24 in the beginning) down to 3 with newer equipment and found...

    PROVARI IS NO MORE?????????????

    Provape stood still and rode the coattails of their reputation and their fanatical fan base. The Chinese continued to innovate and grew while provape stood still and died. The deeming regs. are a steaming pile but don't blame them for a company that refused to move forward.
