    Perfect Storage for DIY Mixers (IMHO)

    Got one just like that for Christmas. It's stuffed to the gils already (pardon the pun). I'm gonna need a separate one for hardware. And a dolly to haul them both around.

    Opinions on Good Prophets Tobacco?

    Hey, folks. Trying to make the most of Good Prophet's 50% off sale. I've picked up just about all of the TPA flavorings I'm interested in, and I was thinking about trying GP's Golden Virginia. Anyone have an opinion on this or any of GP's tobacco flavors? Thanks.

    "Brightening" flavor, and peppery effect of Vape Wizard

    The adventure continues ... As I suspected would be the case, the DIY juices I like best so far are the ones where the "Y" is mostly silent. In other words, the manufacturer has already bottled the basic flavor I'm after and all I'm doing is adding my nic base. Of these, my favorite is a mix of...

    Wanting a Easy RBA

    You're right - the same gadget, different name.

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    I know they're supposed to be very fragile, but I'm wondering if there's a way to file down the lower two-thirds or so of the 1/8 a little so it fits in the AGA. If they're too brittle to even wrap directly, I guess taking a file to one is out of the question.

    Wanting a Easy RBA

    +1 on the R-Tank, a/k/a Hyper SRT II. I use cotton yarn in mine, and it's a fantastic vape. Great flavor, no dry hits, no shorting out, air-hole alignment hassles, etc. The only drawback, at least with the cotton yarn, is that I have to replace the wick and coil every couple of tanks. The cotton...

    Anybody got a pic of a U-shaped wick on the AGA-T+ ?

    Wow ... that is beautiful! Thanks :)

    Anybody got a pic of a U-shaped wick on the AGA-T+ ?

    I tried one sight-unseen last night to great comic effect - looked kind of like a giant wick had turned violent and a dozen tiny villagers were trying to restrain it with Kanthal. I would appreciate a good, up-close look at someone else's more successful effort. Thanks :)

    Top 5 best tobacco flavors from WL?

    At what point does the Black Honey Tobacco stop tasting like petunias and start tasting like tobacco? After 10 days of steeping, I'm still not sure whether I should vape it or dab it behind my ears. I was really put off by it at first, but after spending a little time with it this evening, I've...

    OK, so I'll survive the Beauracralypse - then what?

    Credit goes to TFA or VZ for any positive results I've achieved so far. The only thing I've successfully added to any single flavor is EM or cream. Well, no, that's not true - I was bold enough to mix honey with honey flue tobacco. That's the level of culinary creativity we're talking about...

    OK, so I'll survive the Beauracralypse - then what?

    So I'm a week into my DIY Experience, and I've met the minimum DIY competency standards I set for myself: 1) I transferred high mg nicotine from a large bottle of into a bunch of smaller bottles, then diluted one of those down to a low mg base, all without the assistance of the bomb squad or the...

    Fruit flavor extraction from natural fruit?

    Squeezing? :) You might want to read up on wine making. The focus there is much more on fermenting than on extracting, but there are probably techniques that could be adapted.

    Fig and Wizard

    Done and done. Thanks :)

    Fig and Wizard

    FA is the only fig I've seen. They appear to offer both a fig and a fresh fig flavor, if I'm interpreting Liberty Flight's website correctly. What is it that you find lacking with the FA? Does it taste bad or just artificial (to the extent that those are not the same characteristic)? Who else...

    Any Captain Black Recipes?

    Shoulda come back to this thread :) My experiment was ... enlightening. Primary lesson: even a drop of a super concentrate added to less than 5ml of juice changes everything. The poor captain was lost in a cherry sea, never to be heard from again. The resulting flavor, well ... I don't believe...

    Fig and Wizard

    (Just as an aside, if I ever move to England and buy a pub, that's what I'm going to name it). Two questions: First, has anyone tried FlavourArt fresh fig or know of another good fresh/natural fig flavor? Second, who besides Liberty Flight sells Vape Wizard? They're out of stock. Thanks.

    I will do that - thanks.

    TFA double RY4

    What does the white vinegar do? Several people have said that they add a drop to every recipe, so it must have a positive effect - I just can't imagine what that would be. :)

    TFA double RY4

    I have the same mix - Ry4 Double at 10% in a 70/30 base - steeping even as we speak. My very first DIY! It tastes pretty good to me as is, but when my new batch of flavors arrives, I think I'll add a drop of cream and let it sit for another week. I got sample sizes of every flavor except this...
