    Greetings from MD

    Hello Tim. I'm near Kingsville, and drive through your neighborhood a couple of times per month. I have some advice for you. Save those juices that you don't like. Sooner or later, you will get "vaper's tongue" (you just won't be able to taste your vape for a bit), a cold, or something else...

    TFA is happy with me...

    Okay... that's fair.

    If you were Creme de Menthe

    I have yet to find a flavor (TFA) that required greater than 8% to taste good. I'm finding that I keep lowering my percentages and am getting better flavor. Try cutting it back. Way back.

    Ohhhh no... You can't get away with that on here. Cough it up. What are the other 7?

    Ginger and Mary Anne... Oops. You were talking about eLiquid. :confused: My DIY Pina Colada... :D

    How many e-liquid vendors have you ordered from? What has been your overall experience?

    1) I started vaping on Halloween night, 2013 2) I have never ordered juice online for myself. I ordered online once for my wife - she loves Uncle Junk's Savannah (I like it, too) 3) I have tried (meaning, bought for myself) 17 different flavors. 4) Overall experience - At first, I would...

    I tried some of the Jamaican Rum flavoring today. That is a nice flavor. I added 2% to a Pina Colada mix, and the rum took over, but at 1%, or .5%, this is going to be nice. One thing I have noticed about the TFA flavors, some of them are the actual, stand alone flavor, (Black Cherry, Banana...

    Is the MVP 2.0 worth buying?

    Eh gad! The coughing.

    Next time it happens, hock it onto something white like a kleenex or a piece of paper and look at it real close. I don't know how long you smoked, but my bet is that you see floaters in there.

    Eh gad! The coughing.

    First, a little clarification. The cough is very intermittant. Maybe a half dozen times per day. Far less coughing than when I was still smoking. I feel great. The pghlem is very clear except for the "pepper" in it. I wouldn't go to the doctor specifically for this because I expected it to...

    First time diy'ing juice.

    My experience is that the flavors will intensify after a few days. I haven't had any that seemed to get weaker. You need to wait 2-3 days for the flavors to stabilize and then try them again. If they are still too strong, cut the mix back to 8% and repeat. I start off by making a 5%, 10%, and...

    TFA is happy with me...

    This was my second TFA order. Sorry, I forgot to mention that. I made a discovery today. I had multiple failures using TFA Green Apple & TFA Sour attempting to come up with a nice sour green apple flavor. I was about to dump the last batch (approx 2.5 ml 10% GA, 5% Sour) down the sink, when I...

    TFA is happy with me...

    I started after the fact, and still use it. I do believe that it sped up the recovery time a little. I'll be sure to try that one. Thank you for the tip on the sweetener, but I already have some TFA Sweetener.

    TFA is happy with me...

    I've been away from DIY for a couple of weeks due to a bad case of vaper's tongue. No juices tasted right for almost a month. My sinuses were pretty dry the whole time also. But, it cleared up last week, so I'm back in the game. Just took delivery of a fairly large TFA order. Does anyone have...

    Eh gad! The coughing.

    Mine didn't start until the 4 month mark. But it seems like I just started vaping. I don't even remember smoking at this point.

    Eh gad! The coughing.

    But not from the vaping... I have been vaping for 141 days. For the past 3 weeks, I have had a serious case of the purging cough. Big wads of phlegm that look like they have ground pepper in them (sorry for the visual). I knew that this would happen, but wow! I didn't expect to see it so soon...

    Did anyone catch the piece on e-cigs on fox news just now?

    This thread is a prime example of why I do watch FOX news. You can always tell how effective something is by the noise level of its opponents. Just as BT and BP are raising hell over eCigs and vaping to protect their industries, the government is screaming about their inability to get FOX to...

    Is the MVP 2.0 worth buying?

    Preparing Bottles for DIY

    I boiled mine. The Chinese place that shipped them just threw them into the plastic DHL shipping pouch. It had some sort of dust in the bag. No way I wasn't going to boil them. An added bonus was that originally, the dripper tips that came with them were a pretty loose fit inside of the...

    A Win For Maryland Vapers

    No... It was a different dolt. From http://www.wbal.com/article/105874/3/lawmaker-seeks-to-restrict-e-cigarettes --- Montgomery County Delegate Aruna Miller, who said the devices which allow smokers to inhale water vapor and other chemicals are unregulated by the FDA and pose the same second...
