    Vinegar?

    That is exactly what I am trying to get across to everyone! Everyone here has had a Coke or Pepsi at one time or another. They are the most popular soft drinks in the world. They are LOADED with sugar, but are also so ACIDIC that people would use them to remove rust off a bumper. (Okay, I'm...

    Comparing Nicotine Prices

    I was using Xtreme Vaping when I first started. I moved to RTS because of the price difference and their nicotine is produced in the USA from tobacco grown in North Carolina. I like RTS just as much as I like Extreme Vaping but the price difference is substantial. I am very pleased with RTS...

    Sources for empty bottles, pipettes, etc?

    I purchase my bottles from U.S. Plastics. They are the same bottles vendors are re-selling, just at a higher price. Use NATURAL Boston Round with Dropper Caps. 10cc = 10ml etc. They have good prices and fast shipping. Here's the link: Cylinder and Boston Round Bottles with Dropper Caps | U.S...

    Vinegar?

    Okay, I'm back after A LOT of additional research. You guys are going to HATE to hear this.... I think we need to think of all these different acids as flavorings that we NEED to add to our e-juices. They are all being used as preservatives and to help control the stability and chemical...

    Vinegar?

    Okay...Time for a short update on the test juices that were mixed 1/1/2012. (Remember, pear with the lemon and French Vanilla with vinegar?) The Pear juices: All 3 mixes are the same color. They all look exactly the same as when fresh mixed. Maybe just slightly darker but not much. The French...

    Vinegar?

    Answers: 1. I don't use any PGA or water. 2. Drops are from the lemon shaped bottle. The drops from the lemon shaped bottle appear to be LARGE! You probably only need 1 to 3 drops per 5ml of mix. If you do it right, you will NOT taste any lemon but the strength of your flavors increases. 3...

    Vinegar?

    Okay...Here is where I bought the Caramel Color. The Great American Spice Company. I bought the 4.6oz. size for $3.29 USD. 4.6 oz. is like a lifetime supply! They didn't ship my order for about 4 working days after I ordered. It did only take 2 days after that to be in my mailbox. Hey, what do...

    Vinegar?

    Okay...I'm back...And I didn't die or have to call 911! I think we may be on to something! Okay a little back story on my test... I have been trying to replicate some of the top shelf RY4s for quite some time. I've had very POOR results to date. I can mix one helluva Dekang RY4 though. That...

    Vinegar?

    I have received my Caramel Color and mixed 1/2 teaspoon to 5ml of PG to liquify the powder. I don't know about it though... It doesn't have a very strong smell. The powder is very fine, almost like baby powder. I mixed some yesterday and after reading your interest, I'll give it a test...

    Str8V8ping, Nice collection! I was just noticing that you have quite a few of Capella's flavorings. How would you rate Capellas, TPA and Flavour Art? Does each vendor do something better than the other? Okay...My guess is 117! Pete P.S. Do you have a wife, and does she know?

    about to dive in

    The Perfumers Apprentice and Flavor Apprentice are basically the same company. The flavors are made the same way. If you are first time DIY'er let me give you a few tips: Most mixes are made with more than one flavor. Flavors are just that, flavors, if you want say strawberry and just use...

    Why my juices are so perfume ?

    Are you steeping your juice? Most juices need a day or two of steeping. If you don't wait before tasting most juices will taste chemically/perfumery. If you have any tobacco flavorings in your mixes, they take a full week before they don't taste chemically/perfumery. Good luck! Pete

    First DIY try, not very much if any flavor.

    Adding 2 drops of "Real Lemon" lemon juice to your 5ml mix will help the flavor stand out a bit. White grape is more of a complimentary flavor though, it may not really stand out by itself. Good luck! Pete

    FlavourArt Percentages Needed

    I use Flavour Art tobaccos in most of my mixes. I find them to have really good true tobacco flavor but they are VERY strong! I would recommend starting out with 2 drops per 5ml and then add more if needed. Hoosier is right in mentioning that tobacco flavors need to steep. Fresh mixes will...

    Sweetener Order Help

    To dissolve Ethyl Maltol crystals into PG: Take 1/4 level teaspoon of EM crystals and add to a 10ml bottle. Add 10ml of PG. Close bottle and shake well. It may take a while for all the crystals to dissolve, this can be speed-ed up a bit by putting the filled bottle into a hot water bath. Good...

    Vinegar?

    Okay...Some test results are in. I started to test some of the juices I mixed the other day. For this experiment I enlisted the help of the beautiful Mrs. Pinellaspete who had no idea what I was up to. I set-up 2 E-go 650mahs with some testing clearomizers a friend at work had made. They are...
