    My Boba's clone

    Well, you could do an extract of a real Black & Mild cigar - but I don't know what the outcome would be, since B&M cigars are machine made from chopped-up & flavored tobaccos, your result might not be too palatable, but I think they have them at most convenience stores for about 60 cents, so no...

    +1 on that. I just ordered one of the new Nzonic heads for my older one, and I'm considering getting another #19 ("B" model with the newer top spring setup). After some simple modifications, it's become my new favorite mechanical. Works better now than a couple of my other mechs that cost up to...

    My Boba's clone

    Rin; Using the cigar/tobacco extracts, It should really start to shine after about a week, and just get deeper & mellower after that. If it's already that good after two days, If you can keep from vaping it all up, after a month it should be extraordinary :) Have fun...

    Pipe tobacco and Cigar extraction

    Mmmmm Latakia & Periqe :p One of my favorite tobaccos back when I was an avid pipe smoke was Bengal Slices... hasn't been around for years. I think those were the only two ingredients. Probably the main reason I quit pipe smoking was I was no longer able to get that stuff - loved it. I'll have...

    % of distilled water to 100% VG

    I'm like you - I try to stick to as close to 100% VG as I can because too much of it gives me a very dry mouth (even when drinking water all the time), and also a sore throat if I use too much of it. I haven't found a source for PG locally either, but I only use PG for my NETs (cigar & pipe...

    % of distilled water to 100% VG

    Yep 10% seems to work out pretty well, even with the Honey-like VGs. BTW ...if you don't want to wait for your VG, if you have a CVS Pharmacy in your area, pick up a bottle of their Pure Glycerine (USP). It's 100% VG, top quality, relatively cheap, easy to get when you run low, and vapes like a...

    Kick clone aka Sigelei K show and tell

    The Co-op was for 100 units..it filled up pretty fast - within 24 hours + about 30 people on a wait list. There was a delay due to problems with PopMoney, so the order won't go out until Monday....then we start stalking the Postman. :) 'Don't know if there will be a round 2, but the Co-op is...

    I'm in an ECF CO-op that just closed .... I got TWO for $28.26 ...delivered (about $11 each + delivery etc) . I don't know what they will be going for when they hit the retailers, but for the price, I figure I couldn't loose....

    Pipe tobacco and Cigar extraction

    That really depends on how it was stored. I've made extracts from cigars that were over ten years old, and they were outstanding....but they were kept properly humidified and stored in Spanish cedar humidors. If it were me, as long as the tobacco is not moldy, I'd give it a shot. The only...

    My Boba's clone

    Before you go adding or changing stuff, give it a little more steep time - with most of these recipes, the flavors will change almost daily until they settle down....after the first week or so, they tend to stabilize & get richer & mellower after that. Just keep notes, but I wouldn't recommend...

    Nice #19! How did you get the mottled finish on the barrel? Did you use a torch on it? Looks fantastic!

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    Just got my #20 today & so far the biggest issue is the positive pin is too low for most of my RBAs, but works with about 75% of my tanks/Vivis, and EVODS & CE4s work fine with an adapter. I got one of the newer ones - it has the Stainless steel button and came with a Hot Spring already...

    Cigars are an acquired taste..I love the smell of them. That being said, the smell of people smoking cigarettes makes me almost physically ill now, though I smoked 2+ packs a day for over thirty years.... go figger...

    Pipe tobacco and Cigar extraction

    Compared to smoking the tobacco in a pipe, the flavors will tend to be more "muted", but much "cleaner" tasting, and will tend to taste a bit sweeter.... however, after steeping for up to a month though, there's no shortage of flavor. Biggest thing to remember with the extracts is that you have...
