    Getting my shipment today. Some help, please?

    OK Guys. So, ten percent really does mean 10 percent of the whole batch. If my 20 percent calls for 6ml, then the whole bottle goes in. Just seems like a lot of flavoring, at 1/5 of the thing. Maybe I'm not supposed to use 20 percent then. I guess I'll go with the recommendation of starting...

    Getting my shipment today. Some help, please?

    But how do you know what that is? A Capella claim that "a little goes a long way" doesn't tell me jack. Here's another trip up of mine. You say that you'll use 8-15%. Does this actually mean 8-15 percent of the whole thing? Example. I have a 6ml bottle of flavor. I want to use 20% and I'm...

    Getting my shipment today. Some help, please?

    As is yours! Looks like a catphish to me. I was wondering how long it would take someone to recognize. Isn't that just the coolest SYF you'd ever seen? Alright, it's not the coolest, but cool is pretty subjective. There's gotta be thousands of SYF's out there. Wait for it! I'll call...

    Getting my shipment today. Some help, please?

    Yeah, very fast shipping. The post office received my shipment two days ago from voidmist in CA. It's in Elk Grove Village sorting at about 12:00am today. If they send it out over night, it should be in my town now for delivery. EGV is only 20 minutes away from here. OK, 45 with traffic...

    BoxElder Nic feels WAYYYY too strong?

    Just click. Sorry, but I couldn't help it.

    Mixing unused liquid question.

    Sjohnson, that's exactly what my thinking was. I figured it would be just way easier for me to mix up a large flavorless base for ease of use later on. At this point, I think I'll just play it by ear, on how I proceed. I hope I don't get any bad stuff. I'm nearly running out of liquid, and...

    BoxElder Nic feels WAYYYY too strong?

    Is this just this one instance at this one supplier? Have others ordered from them, to find their product to be fine? I mean, I'm not stupid. I know that if one bottle is bad, there's a whole batch of bottles that are bad. I would expect that they know about it and would have dumped anything...

    BoxElder Nic feels WAYYYY too strong?

    My question here is for the OP, but anyone can answer if they do what he does. I've read here that a whole lot of people buy stuff at Walmart. What section of the store is this Glycerin in? A while back I tried to buy some, but nobody in the store knew what I was talking about.

    Mixing unused liquid question.

    I don't have that issue. I can store anything in any cabinet. There's nobody else here to worry about. Just a cat, who does nothing but lay on the bed, watching TV. Question. What quantities of liquid do you usually order? I'm guessing that you'll still have large bottles of raw materials...

    Mixing unused liquid question.

    This thread got interesting. I thought I was the only person to think of this. Only, the rest of you who do pre-mix, don't do it in such large quantity as I was figuring on. See, I ordered enough liquid to yield me 600ml of juice, given that's it's 24mg of nic, and 20 percent of flavor. I...

    Mixing unused liquid question.

    Spazmelda, you're already doing it the way I'm asking about. Have you run into any problems? Does the liquid keep, all mixed up like that? Is there any other reason that I should keep them separate? Basically, I'm wondering if the quality of the mixed liquid diminishes over time if it's all...

    Mixing unused liquid question.

    I just figure that a 20 percent flavoring is what I'm going to want to use for everything. Am I wrong?

    Mixing unused liquid question.

    I see what you're saying, Switched. But in the case of the Bavarian Cream, it was a bad bottle of flavoring. I'm talking about pre-combining all my Nic/PG/VG into one bottle in the correct proportions for a 24mg mix. Then, all I'll have to do when ready to make a batch, is add enough...

    What exactly will i need to start and best available

    Hey Wizard. Your formula does work if you want a 70pg/30vg, but the poster in this thread is partial to a higher concentrate of VG.

    What exactly will i need to start and best available

    I was just playing around with the calculator. I came to this conclusion last week, and just now the calculator confirmed it. Basically, if you like to have your PG be the dominant substance, then get your nic in pg. If you want more VG then you must get your nic in VG. The numbers wont work...

    Mixing unused liquid question.

    I just placed my first order for some DIY juice. I ordered enough liquids to make 20 30ml bottles at 24mg's. Perfect, actually, with a small amount of extra for testing before making a big batch. Only thing is, I just ordered a handful of flavoring, enough for 5 bottles. Is it OK to mix all...

    My wife is AWESOME *vaping related*

    That case is awesome! I wish I had a wife that did that for me. Heck, I don't even have a wife....yet. At this stage, I probably never will, but you can't really ever say never. Anyhow, I'll be looking for something soon, as I just ordered a whole bunch of DIY supplies. I'm going to have...

    Most popular e-cig

    I'm sorry if I offended you. That seems to me to be a lot of money spent every month. I understand that it's still cheaper than smoking cigarettes, but I'm looking to spend pennies a day for my habit, not dollars. I think most people around here are looking to saving many dollars. I'm just...

    I don't want to offend anyone, so I hope I don't. I just thought I should share my quick opinion on smoke tips. While lifetime batteries sounds like a great deal, it's contingent on a couple of things. One, you don't use any cartomizer other than their own. Two, you don't refill their...

    Exploding eGo-T battery

    I have a theory about how this battery works. It's just a best guess, really. My friend had dropped one of his batteries. The end cap came off, and the button receded into the housing. He threw it out, but I asked him to retrieve it for me. After a few minutes of looking at it, I fixed it...
