    Sweetener

    Just ordered a 1/2 oz (whatever that is) of 25% sucralose solution at ebay. It was just over $7.5 with shipping, where shipping was the most expensive part.:tongue:

    Thickening agent / viscosity

    Hi It seems like when I try to make flavors, I always end up with a liquid that has a too low viscosity. I have been using 3 parts pg, 1 part vg and 1 part flavoring. Do I have to go 50/50 pg/vg and then add flavoring, or is there some kind of thickening agent that is suitable for ejuice? I...

    The impatient newbie strikes again...

    Check out this tread. It's a user who extracted using VG. I have done extracting with alcohol and water that has been moderately successful. Have been working to much to get to my "second batch". But should get some free time soon to try out the VG method, and the same with PG. I also want to...

    Denatured spirit?

    Have done some research... It turns out that if you use denatured spirits, and let it evaporate away, you may be left with some denaturing agents. This means that one would have to destill it to get away those agents, and then I might as well destill proper PGA. -Not that I would care to...

    Denatured spirit?

    Yes, denatured means it has been unsuitable for consumption or distilling by adding small amounts of other chemicals that are irritants and/or have a foul taste. Generally the chemicals should have similar evaporation-temperatures as alcohol. Yes, I am asking if it is OK to use(as in vaping) in...

    Denatured spirit?

    When diluting/extracting, would it be OK to use denatured spirit(technical spirit) instead of PGA? Reason is that I can easily get hold of much stronger denatured spirit as opposed to PGA, where the maximum I can get is 60%(vol) (Although I have some Absinthe at 80%, but it contains a lot of...

    Anyone else start ecigs like me?

    Additive free, not addictive free... :2cool: But then again, I have read some posts on this forum where users claim that American Spirit has even more additives than regular cigarettes. Not sure what is true. But one cig is a lot better than a pack - no matter what brand. :-)

    My pet-peeve, even when I smoked. Littered Cig Butts...

    I am/was a tosser :unsure: Reason is that the butts stink. Simple as that. I would put the ash in the ashtray and flick the ..... At summer when it was dry(hardly ever where I live), i would lay it gently on top of the ash in the ashtray. When certain it was gone out, I let the flicking...

    Newbie's question about even simpler DIY test for mg/mL nicotine

    By some reason it seems to be hard for me to get hold on bromothymol blue. Is there any other PH-indicators that can be used? (With a different formula offcourse.)

    The impatient newbie strikes again...

    Pete: I did not think of mold/bacteria when I set up the two jars, but I used boiling water and will heat it up to concentrate it. That should help as long as there are no bad byproducts. Loxmythe - had just the same idea. :-) Great minds etc. I am thinking several step filtration. First a...

    Steep???

    I think the main thing here is different viscosity in the different ingredients. It may not be properly mixed at first, but with a little time or heating(to reduce viscosity) the mix gets more uniform.

    Need Help with my mom who is verging on relapse.......

    She does not have to go all vape at once. What if she has a limit of say 10 cigarettes a day, and vaping for the rest? Then you give her some really delicious flavors, and she will possibly conclude that the cigs tastes a lot worse.

    Are receipes the way to go ? Or should i mix according to my preferences ?

    I am about to try PG with different food-flavorings. You should be able to get PG or VG at your local store/pharmacy and the food flavoring should be pretty easy to obtain. I have only been vaping for a few days, have found that a little rum-essence is really nice with tobacco e-juice. :-)...

    Exact Measurements and VG

    You can also take an amount of flavoring, and cut it with pure PG/VG. Say 50/50. You can then use double amount of flavoring, which should make the measurements more accurate.

    The impatient newbie strikes again...

    Very interesting thread indeed. Myself, I have two small jars with some RYO tobacco - one with plain water and one with 40%(vol) of vodka. I mixed them up this weekend, and they are standing atop the light fixture of a fish-tank. When the lights are on during the day, they heat up, and cool...

    importing to Norway for private use.

    Interesting read for Norwegians. Apparently we should either buy from a pharmacy in EU, or have a prescription. http://www.helsedirektoratet.no/lover-regler/produktkontrolloven/Documents/regulering-av-elektroniske-sigaretter-i-norge-notat-6-12-11.pdf

    Juice to clear out lungs quicker?

    Try humming in a very low tone, that can help. The idea is that you want your lungs to resonance, and that loosens some mucus. There is even a guy who made a sort of flute to assist in this. Not sure where I saw it, but think it was at ted.com

    The Transition From Smoking

    Nice to hear. My take on it is - don't fight it. Just wape away and have a cig when you want to. You will notice that cigs gets less and less tasty and fulfilling and at some moment you just stop smoking. I have been vaping for a few days, and have also smoked some analogs, but far fewer than...
