    Hello all from western pa

    Welcome to ECF zeroworth. Did your cartomizers come prefilled? There really are a ton of variables that affect vape quality and the type of "hit". Some flavors are harsher than others . Also higher nicotine levels will give more of a throat hit as well liquids that have a high pg level. IDK how...

    vg juice, 0 nic.....

    The short answer to your question is yes. Be sure NOT to use any flavorings that contain any sort of vegetable oil. Essential oils can be used such as orange(mandarin) and peppermint. Other essential oils you would have to do some research on.

    Not producing enough vapor

    One last thought before I retire. If you are using drops as a measurement standard,your final ratios will be unknown as each dropper and each liquid will have a different volume due to dropper size and liquid viscosity. Hopefully you are using syringes or graduated cylinders. If not,try to...

    Not producing enough vapor

    IDK, some flavorings can tend to inhibit vapor production. The chemistry behind it i don't know but it does happen. You can try replacing some of the added pg with vg and see if it improves. Note: Your current mix is 75/25 pg/vg

    Not producing enough vapor

    BTW , I haven't used the black honey tobacco flavoring but I looked it up and it is pg based so you need to factor that flavoring as pg when doing your calculations. Too much flavoring can also give an off taste. I would make a few small batches of the flavor at different percentages and...

    Not producing enough vapor

    Ok. If your nic is 100% pg, you would need 3ml nic, 3ml pg, 3ml vg,1ml flavoring for a 70/30 pg/vg 18mg solution with 10% flavoring. Depending when you made it and tasted, you probably need time for the flavoring to infuse wtih the other ingredients to not have the alcohol taste you are...

    Not producing enough vapor

    Hi yellowrider. Lets work through this. First some clarifications. Whenever talking pg/vg ratios pg is usually first ex. 70/30 = 70%pg,30%vg----40/60 = 40%pg,60%vg,etc. What is the pg/vg ratio of the 60mg/ml nicotine you started with? What brand of flavoring are you using? What is the final...

    please! HELP NEEDED ASAP PROVARI BATTERY SPARKING

    I just tried this myself. I had to stretch the spring a bit to be able to see it. I had to touch the cap to the side of the mod and "dip" the spring into the battery well to touch the neg end of the battery while the cap was also touching the tube. Otherwise, I couldn't see because of the...

    The Bolt: Center Post Pops Out!

    That appears to be the whole 510 atomizer connection and not just the center post. Is this correct? If so, you could secure it with jb weld, a two part epoxy available at Walmart and autoparts stores.

    confused on APV's

    A huge plus of the Twist and Spinner,variable voltage or variable wattage in general really, is the flexibility it allows you with your juice delivery device. With fixed voltage it is necessary to match the resistance of the "JDD" to the fixed voltage to allow that satisfactory vape. With...

    The Bolt: Center Post Pops Out!

    Can you post a picture of the top cap looking at it from the inside? I've seen this issue with other mods and it is usually a relatively easy fix. I'd be willing to bet that the issue is the rubber insulator that holds the pin in place from the back side has slipped off the pin (post). This...
