    Alright - This Really Bugs Me

    I've always been very impressed with the generosity of ECF people, and their willingness to help newcomers. Oftentimes folks will take huge amounts of time to describe complicated processes in great detail; they'll supply endless links to venders and videos, and they're always ready to...

    Really , Mt Baker .

    Right. MBV is a business - and it's a famously low end business, with a very slim profit margin on each individual sale. Reasonable people don't go to Walmart thinking they're going to be courted and pampered like folks shopping in charming little boutiques staffed by independent craftspeople...

    my opinion: heavy users are downfall for the rest

    Yes, exactly. People seem to be laboring under the illusion that we live in a "nanny state," and that legislation comes about because of concern for public welfare. LOL.

    Be careful of where you buy your e-liquid

    You don't want to know how they make Kentucky Fried Chicken, either. :( Just saying.

    Favorite (non dripper) tanks

    The Pulse G, absolutely. Taste-wise, it's the closest thing to dripping I've come across yet.

    Really , Mt Baker .

    I agree. And it's not just free samples, either. I can't even count the number of recent threads with titles like "I Hate China," in which some angry little person goes on a three paragraph rant because his $11 FastTech clone isn't as good as the $240 original. Or the guy who's throwing a...

    Really , Mt Baker .

    Oh, for Pete's sake. MBV's already ultra-cheap, they offer one million flavors, and they provide superfast shipping to boot. Their fan base is mammoth. Why on earth should this established, popular company hand out freebies with every weensy little order? I don't even like their product, and...

    E-liquid for mods

    Hi, Susan. We're talking about rebuildable dripping atomizers, or RDAs. Crazy lots of jargon in the Wonderful World of Vaping, isn't there? I remember it being completely incomprehensible at first, but, believe it or not, one does get used to it. Welcome to the forum! :) Good plan. You...

    E-liquid for mods

    There's no law that says all coils must clock in ultra-low. I regularly build coils as high as 1.7 . . . :shock: . . . and nothing at all terrible happens. When using a mechanical, wholly unregulated mod, the build is all you have to control the quality of the vape. If you don't like .5 (I...

    i need help making my DIY juices.

    Hello. I just started DIY myself, and I bought waaaaaay to much measuring gear. It looks like Dr Frankenstein's Secret Monster Laboratory around here. :facepalm: All I've really used so far are the 1mg, 3mg and 12mg syringes, some blunt tips, and the regular glass droppers that come...

    Got my vape stolen

    I've just spent three minutes trying to pronounce your screen name, OP. "See money, go whoring" or "C'mon, I go erring!" or . . . ? I'm afraid I'm stumped here, Comrade. :blink: Can you help?

    Anyone else find Mt Baker to be overly "perfumey"

    It could be the flavors themselves, it could be the PG, the VG or the nicotine base. Those are pretty much your only options, unless you think something from the packaging is leeching into the juice. I agree with you about MBV, but I'm not exactly surprised that a product in that price range...

    Noob Question: Nic Strength?

    You people are awesome. :vapor: I've added PG/VG (the Inawera blend) to all my mixes, and they ought to be about 4mg now - at least according to the numbers. This seems perfectly fine, but I will buy a test kit, just to be on the safe side. I'm such a lightweight when it comes to nicotine...

    Noob Question: Nic Strength?

    Ah! Good idea. I didn't even know such a thing existed. Thank you!

    Noob Question: Nic Strength?

    Good morning, Very Expert Vaping Comrades. :) Some of my DIY creations are now reaching a vapeable age, so I'm retesting and refining like a madwoman. (Most of them still need work, but that's not the issue at the moment). What's puzzling me here is the fact that my 6mg mixes seem too strong...

    Noob says . . . YAY!

    Yep. It's fun, and a challenge - my favorite kind of hobby. :) I think the Inawera flavors are just fantastic, and I agree that the VT nic tastes like . . . well, nothing. Cool beans, man!

    Noob says . . . YAY!

    :) My Inawera stuff arrived last week, and I nearly keeled over when I opened the box. Everything looked so laboratory-ish I felt quite intimidated, and there was so damn much of everything . . . ! Holy cow. I had no idea it would all be so science-y looking. But, actually, it's fun! I really...
