    My new triton giving burnt taste...

    Actually with her dementia, all she cares about is that she is "smoking". She has finally stopped looking for her cigarettes and now considers her Triton as her cigarette. She no longer coughs at night and no coughing fits in the morning. I believe it is the ritual of smoking as much as the...

    My new triton giving burnt taste...

    I've been rotating two coils. One each week, clean, dry and wait for next week while the other coil is in use. My mother has three weeks on each coil now and 45ml of Tribeca through each coil. She seems to break all the rules. Pushes button as she is lifting it to her mouth and lets the button...

    New hardware idea due to new laws

    I agree with not vaping where cigarettes are prohibited. It's kind of flaunting it. Why poke the bear? My mother forgot herself and put a vapor cloud over our table in a restaurant a couple weeks ago. We laughed, but now we watch her a bit closer.

    Battery fell apart, please help.

    I can't seem to duplicate the problem when I need to. I am beginning to suspect the my mother is inadvertently turning it off with the five presses. A couple times it was in her purse when this occurred. Next time it happens, I will attempt to "turn" it on first, before anything else.

    Syringes & Cleaning + Changing Flavors

    Although I am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, I know that pg and vg are water soluble. I rinse in hot tap water and finish rinse in distilled water. Then I air dry. I keep three syringes. One for nicotine, one for flavors and one for pg and vg. I just keep them in separate...

    Battery fell apart, please help.

    Rather than start a new thread, I thought I would add this here. One of my Triton battery buttons is getting flaky. Sometime when you press it, the button does not glow and it does not heat the coil. When I wiggle the button around a bit, it will start working again. This happened the first time...

    DIY Labels for my DIY juice bottles.

    That is really nice. I just use a Brother P-Touch. The labels hold up well and are easy to change out.

    Triton Coil Change

    I have two coils in rotation now in the same tank. This is working for me: Each Saturday evening I rinse out the tank and tip with hot tap water and thoroughly dry them. I put in a cleaned coil, fill it with juice and set aside for the next morning when Mom gets up. I disassemble the coil used...

    How rugged are Titan tanks?

    Where did my banner go? I haven't done anything, Do I have to start it over or will it come back on it's own? Is there a banner that is more stable?

    How rugged are Titan tanks?

    Now that I have successfully transferred Mom over to the Triton battery and tanks, my life has become easier. Usually one filled tank will last her the day. I have an emergency mini tank filled and ready to go should I need it. I've been cleaning the coil each week and alternating the Halo coil...

    What to add to Tribeca Clone to chang it up some

    Can I make a base 70/30 eliquid with RY4D and nic and steep it? Then take a small 10ml sample of the steeped eliquid and add caramel or vanilla to it without needed to steep again? I was thinking this might be a simple way to experiment. From what I read, steeping seems to be more for the...

    What to add to Tribeca Clone to chang it up some

    I was heat steeping for 4 hours at 140 degrees in my sous vide machine. Very precise temperature. From what I read, that will work as well. Thank you.

    What to add to Tribeca Clone to chang it up some

    I actually got the new Caramel without corn syrup. When I looked at the coil after 8ml, it still looked new. No darkening at all. I will next try one flavor at a time to my nic base.

    What to add to Tribeca Clone to chang it up some

    Based on this, I mixed up: 70PG/30VG/18mg nic 7% TFA RY4D 3% TFA Caramel 3% TFA French Vanilla It smelled awful when my mother was vaping it. All we could smell was burnt caramel. Tribeca clone was much nicer to have in the air. Mom said she liked it, but she reduced her daily amount by half...

    1L of 100mg Nic Base went up $830.00

    I've told my vaping friends who don't DIY about what is going on, but none of them seem to care. I suppose that it's happening in another state, so it's not affecting them. Maybe if we all put our heads in the sand, it will go away.

    How do YOU test your nic base?

    Same here, but I use the suggested dye and acid. Works great.

    Pictures of Your DIY Setup/Station

    I keep all my stuff in a Sears open tool box (just one tray on the top), so nothing to show. I just keep about 60ml of 100mg nicotine liquid in there. The rest is in the freezer.
