    Success! Made 4 flavors today and all of them are good!

    Whooo hoo! I spent some time today testing some of my TFA flavors, and mixing up some juice. For testing, I made up some plain 50/50 PG/VG. I used a 5ml beaker, and the small droppers TFA includes with their flavorings. I started out testing each flavor with 19 drops of base and 1 drop of...

    eJuice Me Up - eJuice Calculator

    I think this version has a bug. I was making a no nic recipe for flavor testing. It is telling me to add 10 ml of my 100 mg VG nic base, but the recipe is for 50/50, no flavor, no nic. It should tell me to add 5 ml PG and 5 ml VG, but NO nic. I can work around it by setting the nic base strength...

    Experiment in Blueberry

    Take 1ml of your base liquid, and try each one in a small sample. Use the smallest drops that you can and start with only 1 drop. All of those look like they will do something interesting with the blueberry. I would even try a drop of Cherry and Raspberry in one of them. Cherry, raspberry...

    Mixing at home

    Not too "quick". Be cautious, but practical. I wasn't suggesting that you rush to the point where you might cause an accident. Like Spazmelda said, it's not really the fumes we are concerned about. It is a spill that you do not want to deal with. And yes, Use gloves.

    The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

    I was playing around with the TFA Blueberry Wild the other day. Using a regular size dropper, I put 10 drops of plain PG in a tiny beaker and then I added 2 drops of blueberry wild using the little pipettes that come with the TFA flavorings. They make little tiny drops. About half of a drop...

    Mixing at home

    Just use common sense. You're getting 72mg strength nicotine, which is strong, but not crazy. Just minimize the amount of time that you spend with the top off of the nicotine solution bottle. Get your mixing container ready, open the nic container, draw up what you need, transport it to the...

    Can't stand TFA, anyone else?

    :confused: Oh wow... I made some juice using TFA Pineapple, and I thought it was fantastic. Getting ready to order a much larger bottle of it this week. Go figure.

    Glycerin - Oh No - Not Again

    I'm glad we can put this all to rest. We have confirmed it via email correspondence, as well as an inside source. As long as they don't .......ize the USP logo, and the product meets the standards set in the monograph, it's good. Steve - We ain't gonna die! Well... Well we are, but the...

    Sticky Notes regarding PG/VG confusing me, please help.

    THANK YOU, Hoosier. :thumb: THIS causes a lot of confusion around here. If someone is looking for "food grade", and all they see on the bottle is "USP", then they might not buy it when it is perfectly suitable for food use. And Kosher is okay to use, even if you are not Jewish... ;)

    Relaxed's DIY Adventure

    I bought 22 flavors, and some additives (sour, sweet & tart, sweetener, etc.) and I am still missing at least one ingredient for just about every recipe that I want to try. So, no. It is not bad. In fact, I can gaurantee that you need more.

    Glycerin - Oh No - Not Again

    :pop: Seriously? You are just trying to start trouble. I wasn't, and I did... Find a vendor that posts a COA, review it against the criteria you need, and buy it only if it meets those standards.

    Kringle's Curse question

    If it got to you yesterday, it may have been sitting in a location much colder than Florida for some of it's journey. I would set it in a warm (not hot) glass of water for a bit, and then shake it up. Some of the flavor concentrates I buy say that crystals my form and that warming and shaking...

    Travel and Vaping Heading off to Sandals Montego Bay Jamaica next week.

    Has anyone been to and vaped at any of the Sandals resorts in Jamaica? I read that Jamaica bans the use of eCigs in many locations. In my experiences at other Sandals resorts, local law enforcement did not have a presence within the confines of the resort. Thanks! Mike

    Electronic Cigarette Survey

    LOL... I was thinking the same thing. Until I realized that my MVP2 has that "useless" puff counter on it. That damn thing hits 650-700 every day, so... I put 50 in there. Whoever reads that survey is going to think I have the backpack model PV with a nebulizer. Edit: I just saw the numbers...

    iTaste MVP v2 Owners Group

    My friend's wouldn't fire his clearo when he was not using the beauty ring. Sanding the base of the clearo allowed it to screw down farther than it did before. If the beauty ring is what is stopping the device from screwing down until it makes contact, then sand away. Just try it without the...

    ***California Assembly bill to BAN SHIPMENT OF E CIGARETTES TO ANYONE IN CALIFORNIA***

    You know, when this thread started, I was all up in arms about yet another stupid eCig ban. After reading the articles some of you link to, it has nothing at all to do with vaping or electronic cigarettes. It is just more of the same old song and dance. California is just being California. I had...

    iTaste MVP v2 Owners Group

    A friend of mine has an MVP1, and he was having this problem with one of his clearos not firing (it didn't have a name on it, he didn't know what it was, and I did not recognize it). I put a sheet of 400 grit sandpaper on my workbench, and simply rubbed the bottom base of the clearo on it in a...

    iTaste MVP v2 Owners Group

    I don't think it is such an unfair comparison. I went to a local B&M with $300 in my pocket expressly to buy a Provari. They let me try the Provari for about 45 minutes in their store. I tried it with my MPT2's, and a few of their clearomizers filled with sample liquids. to me, there was no...

    Plan to tax ecigs in MA is scrapped!

    It is apparent to me that the politicians who do, or will, when the time comes, support taxes on eCigs have no idea that by doing so they are doing actual harm to the very constituents that they claim to be helping. A majority of the people on ECF were able to switch to vaping because they had...
