    About to make my first batch of E-Liquid - What should I make first?

    Thanks, guys. I appreciate the help. dannyv45 - I'll definitely try the side by side comparison. You're actually a big factor in why I went with so much Inawera to begin with. You've been very helpful in my DIY quest and I appreciate it. JimzDogs - That's a nice spreadsheet and I'm going to...

    Best Vaping shops LA, San Francisco, Las Vegas?

    For LA, my suggestion is VapeRev. It's a little bit south of the city, but it's not too far and they're one of the premier shops on the west coast. It's my local shop and they have a lot of nice high-end stuff. I highly recommend it. They also have a juice bar where you can sit there as...

    Got Cookie? (OR3O)...

    After reading about the hint of mint you added, I think my order will be for Got Cookie at Nicoticket instead of Cr3am. That sounds tasty, and thanks for the heads up!

    Got Cookie? (OR3O)...

    I'm not sure if I'm helping or not, but I do know that Or3o was renamed to Cr3am by Ben Johnson's Awesome Sauce. They used to carry it at my local B&M (VapeRev), but they dropped it recently. VapeRev used to have a contract with them that prevented other places from offering it online, but...

    where to shop for regulated tube mods

    Is your focus more geared towards quality or price? Altsmoke is definitely a good resource, as 42 bisco mentioned, but if you're looking for higher-end stuff, I'd probably take a look at VapeRev . I have a Semovar by Svoemesto (looks like they're out of stock right now, but they restock pretty...

    Anyone see this?

    Hehehe - It seems to me that big tobacco is trying to get into the vaping scene by assuming folks will think "heats rather than burns" will get around the stigma they're putting out there for "vaping", regardless of medium. I'm anxious to hear what they'll call "flavors" since they've dubbed...

    I want to buy a charger for my 18650 batteries.

    I just got an Xtar VP2 to accommodate my new 26650 mod, and I'm really happy with it. It handles different battery sizes at the same time very well, and I really like that you can change the output amps. I keep mine at .25 amps most of the time since slower charges are better for battery life...

    About to make my first batch of E-Liquid - What should I make first?

    Dear ECF Friends, I'm all set to get started on my first batch of DIY E-Liquid ever, and I'm looking for a little input on what to start with. I've done my homework and am confident on the safety practices I'll need to employ, but I'm feeling very indecisive on what to make first since I don't...

    Tobacco flavor, hard throat hit

    No problem. If you're looking for something with a sweet note, I'd probably go with their Freedom Juice. It has a sweet tone and you'll still get a nice throat hit.

    Tobacco flavor, hard throat hit

    For me, it was all about Halo Juices when I quit smoking and switched to vaping. I started out with their Torque56, which isn't sweet at all, but I also like their other tobacco flavors (I've actually tried all of them, and they all have a good throat hit). Here's a link to their tobacco...

    Flavor Extracts for D.I.Y.

    Hey Richard, I'm just now getting into the DIY scene myself, and while I don't have any DIY under my belt yet, I've been getting a lot of help in the DIY-e-liquid sub-forum. I see you hadn't received any replies yet and figured I'd point you in that direction. You will probably get some...

    Need advice on where to get all the goodies needed to get started with DIY

    Hi Orchidmoon, I didn't know about the fb codes. I don't use it, but my lady does and I'll make sure she keeps me up to speed with any deals going on for the next round. Thanks for the tip! I'm getting pretty excited about getting started. It kills me paying what I have been on premade...

    Need advice on where to get all the goodies needed to get started with DIY

    Well, I think I'm pretty much all set for now. I made purchases at Bull City and My Freedom Smokes, and all that's left is picking up some safety gear at the local hardware store. Thanks for all of the help today. I really appreciate it.

    Need advice on where to get all the goodies needed to get started with DIY

    Already loading up my cart at Bull City, and thanks for the heads up. Are they a good source for pg/vg and nicotine? I see good reviews, but wanted to get your take. Quality is paramount for stuff I'm going to be inhaling on a regular basis. I read both of those blogs yesterday, and they're...

    Need advice on where to get all the goodies needed to get started with DIY

    Thanks, Danny. I've read quite a few posts from you this past week and can tell you've been at this for quite a while, so I'll definitely check out myfreedomsmokes for the supply portion. Looks like it's time to reach for the credit card. Thanks again.

    Need advice on where to get all the goodies needed to get started with DIY

    DWright - That's about what my list looks like, so it looks like I'm on the right track. :) I appreciate the quick response. Any suggestions on brands/flavors to get started? I know to start small, but there are so many choices out there it's a bit overwhelming. I know it's a bit subjective...

    Need advice on where to get all the goodies needed to get started with DIY

    Hello ECF friends, I've been doing my homework on DIY and think I have a pretty good handle on what I need to get started (and more importantly, what safety precautions I need to take) , but I'm not sure where I should go online to get all of the supplies and such. Quality is more important to...

    Need help picking the perfect mod!

    I just picked up the Timber by Element Mods (it's the big brother of the Droplet Mod Cman pointed out above), and I'm loving it! It's a 26650 and a bit of a beast, but the battery life is very impressive. Surprisingly, it's not too big for me to take out and about, either. They also have it...

    Kayfun Lite Plus - Authentic

    Here you go: Kayfun Lite + V2 (says they're out of stock, but they had it in a few days ago; perhaps it'd be worth giving them a call) Kayfun Lite + Five Pawns Edition They're my local B&M, but they're a big player on the west coast. Good luck!
