    My Coughdrop juice is like medicine

    Would you mind sharing your thought processes on the issue of essentials oil? (And if you still have them easily available, the sources that influenced your thoughts most?) On the one hand there's the never ever absolutely not -recommendations. But OTOH we are 1) talking about very small...

    Why am i not understanding this

    But what IS the saturation point for EM in PG? in PGA? in water? It seems to me that this would be a helpful thing to know, because for ease of use you would probably usually want to stay quite a bit below this. Let's say I want to convert my crystals to a solution, and I want it as...

    Extracting from tobacco

    Hi veterans! I'm not sure if I am committing a huge faux pas or possibly even breaking some rules here, but I would be very grateful if someone would take a look at my thread and my questions in the Liquid Extraction From Tobacco sub-forum...

    My Coughdrop juice is like medicine

    Hmm, I thought the advice was to avoid essential oils? (Or really any oils.) OTOH a few drops of essential oils* in some kind of ceramic cup over a tea-candle is a popular "natural" remedy for lots of things, either as just a room scent or (when diluted with quite a bit of water) actively...

    Why am i not understanding this

    Interesting. I just yesterday got my small jar of EM crystals so I haven't had time to play around with it yet. But I couldn't resist just opening it, sniffing it and tasting it. To me it smelled very close to caramellised sugar (sugar heated in a saucepan 'til it turns amber-brown, used to...

    Making your own nicotine e-liquid with Copenhagen Pouches

    Oh, it's nice when old threads like this one see some action, IMHumbleO. As you can see from the thread I started a few days ago ("impatient newbie strikes again" - any and all comments and answers to my silly all too general questions are very welcome!), you are not the only one experimenting...

    Need intelligent answers

    Great thread, and great answer sobero4. I have a slightly similar question, but with a twist: My chimney-smoking parent has not only COPD, but _asthma_. When she was diagnosed about 10 years ago, she was told she had probably had some level of asthma all her life, much to her surprise. The...

    Atomizer question >>

    Interesting. Naturally I did find some answers after having posted my question :oops: - but yours wasn't common among them. Interesting, because from finally hitting on some good keywords to search for, this seemed almost more common than de-wicking, and the reasons given seemed to be that...

    The impatient newbie strikes again...

    While awaiting your wise answers I'll tell you a bit about my first "Impatient-Know-Nothing" experiment: I took an old medicine bottle of dark brown glass (only thing I had handy, there's a shipment of an assortment of bottles etc sitting in the mail somewhere, but I am IMPATIENT!), washed it...

    The impatient newbie strikes again...

    So on to questions: Reading various threads here I see wildly conflicting ideas about A) What medium to use for extracting B) What form of tobacco to extract from A) When it comes to the medium it seems to me that alcohol + time would be the easiest. Or maybe alcohol mixed with distilled...

    The impatient newbie strikes again...

    OK, so I shouldn't even be mixing my own liquids yet, and here I am asking for advice on dealing with extracting some nice flavours and alkaloids from tobacco... :unsure: Anyway, my main motives for wanting to play around with tobacco are (in order of importance): 1. Other alkaloids apart...

    Why are you diying ???

    I didn't know you weren't supposed to DIY when I started vaping, lol. I just figured that since I had to order liquids with nicotine from abroad anyway, I might as well mix my own. I also had absolutely no idea what strength I would like, so that was another reason for mixing it myself. So I...

    Help me choose a DIY base liquid...

    I think it is hard to answer that question, mwr, whether 48mg/ml in 50/50 would be a good base for *you*. For me, if I wanted a strength of 24-28mg/ml, it would probably be good. But I see from reading other's recipes and whatnots, that I am content with very little flavouring - if you are the...

    Types of nicotine base liquid

    Thx, Killjoy1. I did go ahead and mixed a bit of the uncoloured no-nic juice with my own 84/16 PG/VG 13mg/ml nicced juice, and absolutely nothing happened (except eventually a very pleasant vape :vapor:). I let the mix (2-3 drops of the no-nic mixed with 1.5ml of my unflavoured base in a clear...

    Help with menthol crystals in a 20/80 PG/VG mix. Keeps solidifying.....

    What hoosier said, this is beyond weird. Have you tried a drop of this liquid on the back of your hand (presuming it isn't very high in nic and you very un-used to nicotine)? Yesterday I put a tiny drop of menthol dissolved in PGA on the back of my hand, just to be able to better sniff it. I...

    Types of nicotine base liquid

    Now this is extremely interesting, but makes my observation about the Hangsen liquid being clear at zero nic but very pink at 24mg/ml quite confusing. The flavour in question is a tobacco flavour (D'Doff), but it does have very clearly "taste-able" components of dried fruit, chocolate and...

    Types of nicotine base liquid

    Happy I found this sub-forum - while still a really newbie noob, I am enjoying these chemical discussions way more than I ever enjoyed chemistry in school :-). So much that I'm seriously considering digging up my old high school books or maybe trying to find some actual chemistry textbooks...

    Help me choose a DIY base liquid...

    Whatever base you settle on (I'm still a long way from working through my first 80ml bottle of 36mg/ml PG that I got around Dec 15th - but I still smoke too, and my preferred vape is around 10-14mg/ml), I would recommend that you buy zero nic both PG and VG. Having the option of experimenting...

    Help w/ menthol crystals please

    I'm also a bit bemused by these ideas of half and half - those crystals are STRONG. I didn't know what the recommended way was when I got my supplies, but figured this would be easy and I wanted to do something, anything , NOW! So out of ignorance I did something I haven't since seen...

    Distilled water to VG

    OK, now that I have the practical matter of working with undiluted VG sorted when mixing, I want to ask a related question: The vendor that sold me my first kit recommends having a small bottle of VG handy, because "a moist atomizer is a happy atomizer" - can't argue with that, lol. So the...
