    This is important for ALL vapers! Please follow linkback within the post and get the word out about this huge impending tax!

    http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/642648-1l-100mg-nic-base-went-up-830-00-a.html (Thanks to zoiDman for posting the original thread) This was posted in the DIY section, but I figure it's something that all of us should be aware of. In a nutshell, the taxes are coming and it...

    DIY nicotine base solution help!

    To start, I see you're new here and welcome to ECF. There are lots of folks here to help with whatever questions you may have on stuff, and I'm a huge fan of this forum. As for your question, the higher strength the nicotine, the less you'll need for your recipe, but on the other hand, the...

    Vaping residue?

    I noticed a slight film would accumulate on my windshield after a while when I vaped pre-made juices, but these days I make my own e-liquid and haven't seen it to be an issue lately. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say it's the ingredient quality. When I used the pre-made juices, I was...

    "Who has the best and finest DIY Ingredients"

    Personally, I've become a big fan of Bull City. Their VapersTek nicotine and PG/VG is very clean, and I like that they carry different brands of quality flavorings (Inawera is starting to become my favorite brand, especially the Wera Garden line). You get free shipping if you spend $75, and...

    Who, ( still), enjoys vaping tobacco flavor...

    I really liked the tobacco flavors when I first started vaping, and they definitely helped me quit the analogs, but I find that the non-tobacco flavors are preferred most of the time these days. As other posters have mentioned, they're still nice to have around when I'm imbibing alcohol...

    2 years as a non-smoker!

    Very nice! I'm still working on completing my first year of being analog free, but seeing things like this make me know I'll get there! Congrats on year two, and here's to making year 3 and beyond! :toast:

    2 free 10ml bottles of e-liquid today! From Apollo. Go here and get some. I just ordered.

    Got my shipment of Cherry Limeade and RY4 a couple days ago. Long story short, I think it was definitely worth the wait. Admittedly, I'm not a huge fan of the Cherry Limeade, but I think it's just my palate. It tastes just like a cherry limeade drink, so they did well with it. I think I...

    Want to make my own juice...

    +1 on what doots said. Bull City is my go-to for DIY stuff as well. The Vapers Tek nicotine is the purest I've found so far. As for flavorings, taste is subjective, but so far my favorites have been from the Wera Garden line of Inawera. Good luck with DIY. As others have said, make sure...

    2 free 10ml bottles of e-liquid today! From Apollo. Go here and get some. I just ordered.

    I just received the same email as Cotay on the previous page. It's my luck they sent the email the same day I posted in this thread that I haven't received my shipment (maybe they're watching this thread). :) YAY! I'm getting anxious for my juice again! :vapor:

    2 free 10ml bottles of e-liquid today! From Apollo. Go here and get some. I just ordered.

    Just like Visus posted above, I ordered mine on 11/21 as well, and as of 12/12, still no shipment received. I did the online chat as well and was told they received over 10K orders for this. I don't really need this shipment as I have quite a bit of juice in the house, but I do hope it...

    Just made my 1st batches of E-liquid ever!

    I have quite a few mason jars here at the house, so I think a couple are going into the dishwasher tonight! I'm pretty sure I can tell the difference between PG and VG at a glance just by sloshing the bottles, but just in case I think it's time to dust of my label maker as well. Thanks for the...

    Just made my 1st batches of E-liquid ever!

    10ml syringe is a good idea, and I'll add a few to my next MFS order. Before that one is made, I think I'll be ordering from Bull City vapor for more flavors. Any favorites you'd suggest for single flavorings? I'm shying away from tobacco flavors, and am looking for something other than...

    I love free stuff! I just made my first batch of DIY e-liquid today, but this was too good to pass up. :) Thanks for the tip!

    Just made my 1st batches of E-liquid ever!

    Danny - I have a 50ml graduated cylinder already (thanks to your referral to MFS a little while back, actually), but I think I'm going to look into some smaller ones as well. 50ml is a little big for what I'll be working with on these initial smaller batches. :)

    Just made my 1st batches of E-liquid ever!

    Train2 - I used ...................., but I'll definitely check out eJuiceMeUp as well. Thanks. Boletus - Thanks for the tips on VG. The bottle was full for this round, but I'll try warming it up or transferring to something shallow once the level goes down a bit.

    New to Vaping Question

    Welcome to ECF, Flyershutch! Just like all the other posters who replied to your thread, I feel so much better after making the switch. I wish I made the decision long ago, but I'm really happy with how I feel since I started vaping. I'm confident you'll start feeling better soon; just...

    Just made my 1st batches of E-liquid ever!

    I just made my first batches of E-liquid, and just wanted to say thanks to everyone for being so helpful with getting started. I started slow with just two 5ml bottles of single flavorings (apple and plum, both @3%), and while they taste pretty good now, I can't wait until they've steeped for a...

    Free at last!

    +1 to what K31Scout said - you'll definitely want a backup in case your device runs out of battery, takes a crap, etc. Having a backup kept me off the stinkies more than once when I wasn't paying attention to battery level. There's a high probability I would have had a cigarette if there...

    Newb hissy fit and question

    The fluctuation is because there's too much play in the wire, hence the short you mentioned. Not sure if you're an android phone user, but here's a nice app to help you figure out the ohms you're after. I'm sure there's one for iPhones as well. I didn't search, but I'm sure there's one...

    DIY e liquid

    Another angle is that it's probably a good thing everyone doesn't DIY. I'm just starting to make my own juice, and safety with the nicotine is very important. Not everyone would take the necessary precautions, and that would probably lead to folks getting hurt. The last thing the vaping...
