    Triton Coil Change

    Kept the nic level at 18mg. See no reason to change. She's been smoking for 70 years. I'm just happy she is vaping now. It's only been two days, but it will be interesting if her consumption drops off as the coil ages.

    Triton Coil Change

    It's interesting. New coil and new tank. Mom has increased her e-liquid consumption by half again. It will be interesting if this keeps up, but for the last two days, she has increased her vaping.

    Triton Coil Change

    Stopped the test today. The coils are still going strong, but the Triton Tank sprung a leak around the top metal collar and the clear acrylic nearest the tip. All I ever did was rinse the tank in warm water and air dried. It lasted 15 weeks, so I suppose that isn't too bad. I was just surprised...

    1L of 100mg Nic Base went up $830.00

    What was the final verdict in this or is it still going on?

    Triton Coil Change

    I've been trying to see how long two coils will last with weekly cleaning and only Tribeca E-liquid. Been using one Halo coil and another by a well known company, alternating from one to the other each week. I have completed 6 weeks on each coil and just started the 7th week on the Halo Coil...

    What's wrong with this tank?

    Well I must be lucky then. I've been using my first tank now for about 3 months.

    Anyone still on a g6

    Just a note on cost of coils. When using a light juice, as my mother is (Tribeca), I am currently on week number 6 on each of two Triton coils. I alternate them each week. Clean the one just off it's week of use and replace it with the cleaned one from the week before. That is about 75ml of...

    Triton Coil Change

    Update: I just started the 5th week on one coil and have 4 weeks on the other coil - it's cleaned, dried and ready to go for it's 5th week. I'm pretty pleased so far. I was expecting only a week or so for a coil.

    Nicotine Comparisons

    When I posed the question of traveling with juice and supplies in another forum, I was assured that the TSA never bothered with vaping stuff, since they knew what it was. Back to my plan of shipping supplies ahead to my destination.(should read - Mom's destination)

    DIY Liquid and DIY Magnetic Stirrer

    When I am mixing a new juice in a flask on a DIY magnetic stirrer, how long would you continue the stirring? Assuming the flask is sealed, I was thinking of perhaps an hour. Even that may be overkill. I don't know. I also heat steep and plan to do so after mixing.

    Vaping; Things I have learned

    Initially, the cost is a bit much, but when you subtract what you are saving with not having to buy cigarettes, it evens out quickly. Everything I spent on equipment and juices and now DIY has now become a wash over the last 4 months. Now, each month will be a big savings, at least for me and...

    Storing Flavors

    If I get 4oz quantities of flavors, keep 1oz out and store the remainder. Can I freeze them for long term storage? If I can, would it be best to store in glass?

    Nicotine Comparisons

    I have enough nicotine to maybe outlast my mother, but you never know. She is going strong at 88 and I have enough to last to 98.

    Using twice the amount of juice?

    He is retired as I am. Same gear. He's been vaping for 2 years. I will ask him about power. So, perhaps more pg and less vg might increase the usage or perhaps something else thinning it?

    Using twice the amount of juice?

    I have a friend who just switched sources of getting his juice. He got the same nicotine content, but now finds he is using almost twice the amount of juice he was before. He asked me what I though was causing this. My first thought was that the nicotine content in his "new" juice was not as...

    What drove you to DIY juice crafting?

    Cost. Switched to vaping from cigarettes, saved 75% and better health. Switched to DIY and saved another 90%.

    Syringe or weight, best way to measure?

    Assumption: you have several recipes that you have made and love! If you have been mixing with syringes and are happy with the result, I would say keep with it. Switching to using a scale and being more accurate, may possibly change the recipe, because you are no longer using your calibrated...

    Halo = Greedy with bad customer service

    I agree. Warm water should not have any effect on the tank and that's what I use weekly. I'm a newbie on Triton, but this one tank is in it's 7th week, being cleaned and dryed once a week, before changing out the coil assembly that I also clean with water and dry. If water can damage these...

    Halo = Greedy with bad customer service

    Gee. Not my experience at all. I had two mini tanks crack and even though they admonished me on my method of cleaning, they sent out two replacement tanks. I wonder why the difference in their response?
