    Battery question

    You're almost always going to pay more at a B&M than you will online due to the cost of running a physical storefront. As an example, VTC3's are running $14-$15 a piece where I am and I've been buying the VTC4's online for $7.50-$8 with just ~$2 shipping. I shop around, look at vendor reviews...

    pink milk

    You're far braver than I am....the last time I added MM to anything, I ended up replacing my coil. Not big deal, but still not ideal for just a few drops of flavor into a batch. I don't use sweeteners, so perhaps they take the edge off that flavor, but whooo....I'm still recovering :).

    pink milk

    I'm not sure if WL gets a different type of cheesecake or if they're using an older name, but comparing and older vial I have from them to the recent shipment from LA that had Cheesecake it in, they are indeed the same. Not bad, but it can easily overpower a juice quickly. It seems that more...

    pink milk

    Just an update, for those curious between what's on the LA website and what you see elsewhere (more so because ingredients are not listed). The cheesecake, I believe, is the same one that WizardLabs is offering, so just Cheesecake without the NY. The Flavor Fountain NY Cheesecake....not sure you...

    Do not mix Coca Cola and vinegar

    Acid + Acid = Bad News. Phosphoric Acid, which is what's in Coke, is stronger than Vinegar and used to remove rust. Adding more acid on top of what's already inside of the Coke is going to essentially create a stronger acid that has the potential to damage metals (given that PA alone can remove...

    Coffee drinking vapers... feeling a little nic-sick?

    I've never noticed increased effectiveness from caffeine since I quit smoking and started vaping and I'm a 1-2 pot a day type person and if it's not fresh ground drip, then it's 3-5x 4-6 shot medium sized lattes (made at home - I'm not spending $24-$36 a day at Starbucks!). On top of that I...

    Nicotine Solution

    If handled properly, there's no true risk associated with handling and using 72mg/ml nicotine or even 100mg/ml. It's all in how you handle it. Wear gloves, keep exposure to a minimum and clean up after yourself. As long as you're not shaking an open bottle or slinging it everywhere, you're fine...

    The taste of zero nicotine juices

    To me, there's a huge difference between zero nicotine and 6mg. IMO, it acts as a flavor enhancer. Without it, I would compare it to a freshly opened coke and one that's been sitting open in the fridge for the last 3-5 days and has lost it's carbonation. Some have said that going higher on the...

    Just won a ton of juice!

    Unless it was upfront and in the terms of the contest / giveaway, the vendor should be the one covering the shipping. There's no way shipping would cost $40. USPS Flat-Rate maxes at $16 (which would be less for a business due to business rates) and UPS/FedEx would max at $20. Sounds like cost...

    Flavors that may contain Diacetyl, are there really this many?

    The new vanilla custard isn't available just yet, but will be soon from my discussion with Tom a few weeks back. From what he told me, they will be offering a "Version 2" of their more popular flavors that do, as of now, contain Acetyl Proprionyl, which is what they use in their custard and from...

    Capella's question

    In most cases, Capella's tends to ship within 2-4 days and if you choose standard UPS Ground, then you'll be waiting 3-5 days depending on where you're located. With UPS, you can't count Saturday or Sunday in the equation. They don't run on Saturday unless you pay extra and they flat out don't...

    The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

    To follow up, 90 minutes in the UC and a cool-down period doesn't budge the flavor a bit. It still comes off very chemical-like at both 12% and 18%, so I don't think anything between those ranges will be much, if any better. The exhale is what's the worst. The aftertaste is red velvet like, but...

    The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

    I picked this flavor up with another order, so I'm going to give it a test run myself. At 12%, it's not exactly the best, but it's going into the UC for about 90 minutes to see if it'll come together. There's a hint of Red Velvet upfront, but it's dominated by what comes off as a chemical-like...

    Wild cost of Nicotine

    Definitely a bit odd, unless it gets warm in the closet, as heat will cause it to oxidize quickly, even in an amber bottle (plastic or glass). Does it smell or taste off? Has it been opened at all?

    How about some Vanilla?

    Start @ 5% on both. If that's not strong enough, move to 7% and then 10%. I've only tried the Vanilla by Hangsen and it's pretty good on its own. It's slightly sweet and sort of eggy, much like a custard (but missing some of the notes that custards such as Capella's Vanilla Custard has), but...

    Stevo's Vanilla Custard

    Have you tried breathing the steeped liquid (i.e. cap off for 12-24 hours max)? I've had the same issues with some blends that I've created and other than time (some custards, especially complex blends can take up to 2 months), breathing the liquid seems to help. You don't want to go cap off for...

    Looking for a banana bread recipe

    Which banana bread flavoring did you order? TFA?

    My Vanilla Version recipe

    I'll be the first to ask, what does Taro taste like? I was about to order the same flavor, but that's one "thing" I've never tried (flavor wise, or eatables). May give it a shot and see how things come out seeing as how FA's cookie is one of my favorites (albeit, easy to over use!).

    How about some Vanilla?

    By HS, you mean Hangsen? If so, they do indeed have a very good vanilla and it's probably my second favorite next to Capella's Vanilla Custard, more so because it mimics a lot of that same flavor (slightly eggy and sweet). I've never tried holy vanilla, despite many recommending it, but from...

    How about some Vanilla?

    Vanillin is going to more so be an additive than a flavoring. It's naturally a bit sweet, but doesn't give off the typical flavor that most vanilla flavors do (especially not if you're comparing to an extract, for example). Vanilla Cupcake is pretty good as is the Vanilla Bean Ice Cream...
