    How to drip from 8mL glass flavor vials from Wizard labs?

    I always get droppers with the 30ml juices from my favorite vendor because they come in glass bottles. I use those to measure all of my drops so that I have consistency. You were kidding about the paper towels...right? :)

    Naturally extracted tobacco feels different

    So after fumbling with fruits, and having success with teas, I finally made my first tobacco (black cavendish pipe tobacco) extract tonight. Two hits from the atomizer and I had that cigarette 'buzz' that is lacking in everything else I vape. After 6 + months of vaping I still smoke a few a day...

    sleepy time recipe

    They have the MOST amazing teas I have ever had! I did the tropical rooibos, which is my favorite, and the other was strawberry lemonade, which actually vapes better. I also extracted using PGA, but it wasn't nearly as successful. Making these extracts have finally given me some DIY...

    HELP on DIY TFA

    Disclaimer: *I have wierd taste buds* But here's my experience with what you have: Vanilla Bourbon: Strong and smokey. Tastes almost like a tobacco. I used it at 8% with something else and found it nasty. I have recently used it at 1% as a flavor booster and it was lovely. It's a good flavor...

    First time DIY'er Needing advice + suggestions

    That looks like a nice little started kit. On top of that you will definately need a minimum of 20-30 empty plastic bottles, 2 or 3 1 ml syringes, 1 3ml syringe, and a 5 or 10ml syringe. As far as flavors I would definately get a tobacco, a vanilla, some sweetener, and whatever else suits your...

    Slow Cooker Extraction of Tobacco and Tea

    Any Teavana fans out there? I got some Tropical Rooibos and Strawberry Lemonade for Christmas and decided to make some extracts today. I did 1 part tea to 2 parts PG and then cooked it double boiler style in coffee cups for 1/2 hour. I am waiting on the 'official mixes' with the nic and all...

    Do you name your juices?

    I also have a catch all bottle called 'Mutt Menthol'. Menthol makes almost anything vapeable. :)

    Do you name your juices?

    I only name the good ones: Tom's Coco-horchata Extravaganza (I was really tired) Todd's Tasty Juice (for my friend Todd) Homebrew Ginger Other than those they have a test # on the bottle. Only when they are good enough to be re-mixed do they get a name. You can see how much success I've had. :-P

    Ginger and black raspberry extraction SUCCESS!

    Update: So the black raspberry has a cooked taste to it that I don't care for. Used it at 20% and then added a few drops of sour and EM. That made it vapeable at least. The mango hardly has any flavor at all. Again added some sour and EM, but it doesn't really taste like much. Gonna try cold...

    Need help with 2 recipes

    I would start with 5% each of the blueberry and watermelon and go from there. You can always tailor it, since I would think that blueberry would over power watermelon...but I've never actually used watermelon. 4% of lemon and lime seems like a good place to start. Let us know how it works!

    Ginger and black raspberry extraction SUCCESS!

    Just shook hands with Buster Hymen!!! Yup, My first DIY, but oh well... My Asian RY4 vicissitudes

    12.5 sounds strong to me for a tobacco, but I have strange and sensitive tastebuds. If it's too 'rich' then try it at a lower percentage. Congrats on yer first juice!

    Ginger and black raspberry extraction SUCCESS!

    UPDATE: The ginger is a smashing success. At 15% it is sweet, mild, spicy, and delicious! I have two tanks through the vivi nova with cotton wicking and no gunk on the coils. WIN. The blackberry is not so great. I mixed it at 10% and it tastes like burnt alcohol. I tossed 6 drops in at the end...

    juice flavors at walmart???

    I used McCormick cinnamon extract. It was really dry and had a yucky mouth feel. As long as the ingredients listed are only pg, alcohol, and flavoring you should be good.

    Flintlock--Did you get any of that spicy flavor I was talking about? Sometimes I think I have super sensitive tastebuds. I do not like anything strong. Glad you had success! Good luck witht the multiple flavors and keep us updated. :)
