    Drop in and drip.

    In my case, everything that goes in the RDA gets mixed so what one juice actually tastes like in a fresh wick is mostly for academic interest only. Many of my flavors aren't that impressive alone but a fixed mix will never be as interesting or occasionally amazing as a constantly changing one...

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    There's a difference between a hot vape (vapor exiting the atty) and a hot coil. A big oversize coil with just enough power to barely work gives a hotter vape because it's more efficient at heating the air than vaporizing the juice. A small coil at appropriate power in a larger device gives a...

    Recipes for Dummies

    Here's a couple: French Pipe Custard Into 25 ml Base: 6 drops French Pipe INA/TDM (.8%) 6 drops Custard INA (.8%) Sorry for the decimal points in the %'s, most of my flavors have something below 1% that should not be rounded up (the limit should be "2 significant digits" -- over 10% you...

    Vaping and the constant pressure from the people around me

    This shows how vaping is about more than vaping. It's about corruption, politics, money, the rabid media. And even if people are right in being concerned about you, they're wrong in listening to idiots. It's an extremely clarifying thing to have something you actually know a lot about being...

    Shortened breath

    You are at a disadvantage if vaping on your own and you don't know what is a good vape and what isn't yet. Of course you could also just be reacting poorly as suggested. If you bought it at a vape shop they should be able to help you, unless their preferences are too different from what yours...

    help me understand safe coil building please.

    Always turn off the mod when touching the wire or wicking while the atty is on it. I've accidently hit fire when wicking (catches fire), and somehow I was pulling the wire through a post and managed to ground the pliers and hit fire at once, on a mech no less, that 1/8" bit of wire lit up like a...

    What's the strangest flavor of ejuice you've tried?

    I was searching for "cough medicine flavoring" to try to help or mock someone looking for NT Virus flavor and came across Walgreen's medicine flavoring service. Not ejuice but for pets they show: Red Angus Beef Grilled Tuna Chicken Pot Pie (contains salt) Salmon Steak Fish Chowder...

    Beginner at dripping

    Without understanding what it all means, a few 3 term equations don't help much. Yes it's important in the end, but as safety information it's gone from essential to a misdirection in apparent importance. I didn't need my first sentence, but I don't think there's anything more important that...

    Beginner at dripping

    Stop all this talk of Ohm's Law and the rest. With regulated mods, you look in the mod's instructions and buy the battery it requires, stopping by here to find out what batteries actually meet their specs. Don't carry loose batteries. The mod won't let you run anything it doesn't like. Be...

    Anything specific i should know about building with SS wire?

    I've heard it claimed that Nichrome heats up faster than Kanthal, but this was a mech issue and actually Nichrome is denser than Kanthal and the exact same size coil with the same amount of power heats up slower. SS is denser still, and is slightly slower yet. Fast is GOOD, an actual power...

    RDA RDA for tasting

    Should be usable with single coil, although dual capability is not a problem. Sometimes with clones you have to look at the pictures to see if there's dual air slots plus an additional single side air slot on the version you're looking at. While I do like the flip top on the Mad Hatter, I never...

    Help me come up with a tobacco-y recipe for my husband?

    I recommend, for more the smoking experience, less strongly flavored mixes. However, the recent ex-smoker may not be ready to taste it. Here's a recipe: 25 ml base 10-12 drops Inawera Tobacco Absolute Garuda (only one I've tried) 1 DROP good basic synthetic tobacco flavor (can be too much, e.g...

    How long did it take you to convert to e-cigs and why?

    About 2 years. I had big trouble with my throat with the gear I was using and developed eczema, which turned out to be unrelated or mostly so. So I quit vaping. Over a year later, I saw someone vaping and appearing to greatly enjoy it and realized I was envious and had really enjoyed it. So much...

    Too many juices taste like nothing.

    WTA's cheating for unflavored! ;) Plus I almost envy you for still having any interest in that level of nicotine, it's in many ways more satisfying than any flavor. It's also, for me, completely out of the question. As I wrote previously "not that I'm a fan of unflavored (at my current low...

    Too many juices taste like nothing.

    My experience is that most devices don't have any flavor -- to me. But I think half of that's technique and matching it to the device. Currently enjoy original EVOD 5.2W and the Atomic RDA 7.5W dialed down to like sucking a milkshake through a straw, and my trusty Doge clone RDA at 14.2W...

    Can someone help me with this recipe?

    Drops vary both on the dropper and the substance. For most PG based flavors and droppers I use 40-50 drops per ml (.02-.025 ml each or one drop/ml is 2-2.5%). When I have counted the drops from a pipette slightly angled, their measurement (such as it is) agrees, or sometimes there are even more...

    So your bank has told you your card is compromised

    Windows Security Essentials (free) stopped some ransomware on Vista for me a couple months ago. Watch out for odd matches to your search terms that go to a page with nothing but a download on it. They're putting in terms like model numbers that you wouldn't think anyone would bother with. I...

    Loss of liquid taste

    There are sometimes awkward flavors that fortunately go away after a day or 2 of steeping. I'm guessing you somehow are finding this a feature. Most flavors increase somewhat with time. Caramels are also very subtle by themselves, although can make other flavors very intense.

    Vape Juice Smell

    Start bringing food into the office instead. I suggest arriving with sausage gravy and biscuits.

    Flavorless Odorless Electronic Cigarette

    That's certainly out there. The first cig-a-like disposable I got was "classic" flavor which was actually unflavored and didn't even mention nicotine on the package. But I don't think you have to worry about too much flavor with any of that kind of device, and even the most realistic tobacco...
