    Will I did it.

    I buy my bottles from US Plastics. They are the same bottles a lot of the E-cig vendors are selling, except they resell them at a higher price. US Plastic has always given me great service. They have a quality product and ship fast. The bottles I use are the 10cc NATURAL BOSTON ROUND WITH...

    Storing 60mg nic juice

    The best place to store nicotine long term is in the freezer. I store mine in the refrigerator. It won't freeze in the freezer but it does thicken and then you have to wait for it to warm up a bit before mixing. You really need to keep it away from heat and sunshine. Heat and sunshine will speed...

    what kind of flavoring used in e-juice?

    The flavors should be water soluble. The ones at the grocery store are usually oil based and not concentrated enough. That's why most of us on the ECF use the handful of suppliers that we are always discussing here. Pete

    Best DIY Flavor of 2011

    Flavors are kinda like women...So many to sample, but so little time! Well...If it has to be just one. TPA Watermelon - I am really impressed by this flavor. It tastes like you just took a bite of fresh watermelon on a hot Fourth of July afternoon. Pete

    Vinegar?

    I can't say how I found out, but some vendors use vinegar in their mixes. Some of the vendors are highly regarded on the ECF. Now what I want to find out, is the vinegar a left over from the tobacco extraction process or actually used in the mix? Well...I'm going to give it a try in the next...

    Why Don't They Make Larger Quantities ?????????

    I wasn't singling out Alien Visions, this is VERY prevalent in the entire E-Cig industry. Just visit any website right now and try to purchase a popular item, most places are out of stock somewhere on their site. Pete

    Why Don't They Make Larger Quantities ?????????

    That's why I started to DIY. I just became fed up with waiting to order some of the good juices. I don't understand it either. To be occasionally out of stock is one thing, to be out of stock day after day and week after week is ridiculous. They shouldn't have a quota. Their customers should...

    First DIY Attempt - How Did It Work For You???

    You might want to try to sweeten your juices with 1 to 2 drops of diluted Ethyl Maltol per 5ml. Ethyl Maltol is a sweetener and will take that sharp edge off the tobacco flavors. It also really helps in reducing the harshness. Flavorings are usually just that, flavor without any sweetener. So...

    Noob Question: PG/VG Ratio?

    A typical mix is 70%PG and 30%VG including flavors. Most people will not use VG above 50%. VG tends to clog attys. There is quite a difference between 30%VG and 50%VG. Most flavors are PG. That being said, some people mix 100%PG and some people mix 100%VG. The higher the concentration of VG the...

    Tobacco Flavour Percentage

    Here are a few things I have learned from DIY in the past few months: Tobacco flavors are VERY STRONG! I usually mix in 5ml batches. I only use 2 drops per 5ml. If I mixed a 10ml batch there are some tobaccos I would use only 3 drops because they are still slightly strong at 2 drops per 5ml...

    A few questions about the Vapenstein blends.

    Well...If you are familiar with W2V, have you tried their Morley or Red Pirate? Morley has a traditional analog taste, just like the analogs that come in a red and white pack and have a name that starts with M. :tongue: Red Pirate has a taste that is somewhere between an analog and a cigar. It...

    What do you sweeten?

    I agree with Lynda. (Again!) If you sweeten the fruit flavors they can get too sweet pretty fast. I always sweeten the tobacco flavors. It takes the sharp edge, the harshness, off the flavor and kind of softens it. I find that without sweetener the tobacco flavor is just too dry. Good luck...

    Making that perfect Juice you buy from store (Help)

    Hoosier, The FDA stands for Food and Drug Administration. They are responsible for regulating ANYTHING sold as fit for human consumption. This is from Wikipedia: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or USFDA) is an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, one of...

    Making that perfect Juice you buy from store (Help)

    Yes, your suspicions are right, they do add special ingredients. They use tobacco flavorings from their own tobacco extraction process. Some people call this WTA which stands for Whole Tobacco Alkaloids. Nicotine is the MAJOR alkaloid contained in a tobacco plant, but there are several more and...

    Post Your DIY Tobacco Recipies Here Please

    Okay...AzPlumber this goes against my better judgement... There are 2 camps to the WTA debate. One camp thinks WTA is the best thing since sliced bread, I am from the other camp. I think adding WTA back into our e-juice is dangerous and just asking for trouble. There are 2 main methods of...

    Lynda, What do you think of the TE? Is that the TE from TPA? I thought you would use the TE in addition to a tobacco flavor. Do you use it as a stand alone tobacco flavoring? Looks like I'll be ordering some Juicy Fruit! I'd like to see what you have to say about the following Linda: I really...
