    The perfect flavorless vape!

    Indeed! Thanks for the update.....I'll be testing some flavorless mixes soon. It's really the way to go if you can tolerate the taste.

    Possible PEG-400 source

    PEG is a mixture of different chain length glycols, in this case, with an average molecular weight of 400. The bad thing about it is that it's not well characterized and who knows about which of the chain lengths could possibly be harmful. Personally, as a chemist, I would not use it for that...

    And so it begins: E-Cigarette Commercials

    Indeed.....they HAMMERED our airwaves for a long, long time with that crap. I actually knew one person that fell for the "free" part and they got screwed. The device was crap and it had 0 nic....pointless for getting off the analogs. They were also duped into buying $80 worth of BS extras like a...

    The perfect flavorless vape!

    Yea, straight VG produces HUGE vapor! This week I think I'll make up a batch of unflavored and see how it goes. I might just toss in a very small amount of sweetener to help make it palatable.

    The perfect flavorless vape!

    Hey, there's nothing wrong with flavorless vaping if you like the taste well enough. I've been thinking about this for a few weeks now. The flavors are a bit of a concern for me too. As a chemist, I realize that flavoring agents are made up many compounds. They are considered "safe", but they...

    Breaking in an Atomizer...

    I had issues with the atty threads that they put inside the bridge. Not sure what they use, but they seem to be polyester and they melt like pastic. Sometimes the threads are too close to the coil and they burn....giving the plastic taste. Look down in there below the bridge and see if you can...

    Thermal analysis testing

    DSC is not useful on liquids. TGA would be a better choice, but I don't think you'd gather any useful data. The only analytical anaysis I'm interested in is checking the nicotine content of juices. This would be a simple matter for me using HPLC. However, I don't have any pure nicotine to use...

    Thank you sir! One more month and I'll tie my longest cold turkey time! Based on how much I like vaping I don't think that will be a problem....as long as Don is in business. LOL

    I have a new vape based on BWB! I mix 50:50 Applewood and Maple Tobaccos.....it's AWESOME! Perhaps Don should try to make a Maple Applewood Tobacco flavor? Give it a try once people. :)

    Modding or Upgrading..Ready To Take The Plunge

    Indeed....and the 18650 batteries can go up to 3 days of HEAVY vaping before they need to be recharged. Do yourself a favor and find a vaporizer than takes an 18650!

    What % of a % is really a % of another % ???????

    You guys have to convert to layman's terms. One drop is ~= 60µL

    What % of a % is really a % of another % ???????

    Very common, afterall, you're learning from a teacher and not a scientist. LOL The abbreviation for liter is L and not l, thus the correct, scientific abbrevation is mL. :)

    Green Apple Vape

    Green Apple Vape

    Micropipettes are pretty expensive. I use them at work, I think we buy them from Fischer Scientific. You'd probably be best off to purchase a single, variable volume model. I made a 10% solution of EM in ethanol and use that. It is completely soluble in ethanol. It's also soluble at about 10%...

    Syringe and needle for VG

    You need a cannula, not a needle: General Accessories And General Accessories And Replacement Items - Cole-Parmer Catalog I cut off most of the tip from a disposable pipette for use with VG.

    What % of a % is really a % of another % ???????

    I'm exact in my formulas since I'm a chemist. I like to make it easy and accurate. I usually understand what some other folks formulas are, it's just something you have to get used to. For clarity I end up converting it to 10 mL so can get a clear picture. Too bad everyone doesn't have...

    Green Apple Vape

    Made my first juice today. It took 4 tries to get it where I like it. My goal was to use minimal ingredients, not only to save money, but to cut back the amount of chemicals I'm vaping. I started low and gradually increased until I ended up with something I liked. This is a MINIMALIST formula...
