    Question about quality and quality control of e-juice vendors.

    I think for the most part these are small businesses we're dealing with and although growing a somewhat competitive marketplace. I'd say if you have questions give them a call, or send an email and talk to them. If you're not comfortable with them don't buy from them.

    Trick to prevent eGo twist

    I haven't done it, but you could use tape as has been suggested, or wrap a wide rubber band around it a couple times. Also you could take a paint marker and mark it up to help you see where its set if you don't mind uglying it up a bit.

    Battery & Atty Testers

    I did something similar, but run it to a breadboard since I wanted to hook up my osilliscope and watch everything in actual use as well. Someday I'll get around to making it a bit more portable so I don't have to use it on my workbench. One thing you'll find is that testing with no load vs the...

    Stainless steel wick ego?

    I have seen a video of someone doing it to one of the V2 stardusts. I understand the heads on the newer ones (V2.5?) are interchangeable with vivi novas so I guess it can be done.

    Alcohol vs. Vodka

    I use Isopropyl (Rubbing Alcohol) and Ethanol (what some people call PGA), I'm wary of denatured Alcohol, although I have plenty of it around, there's no real QC that goes into it and no way to be sure of what it's actually denatured with. In theory it's all volatile enough that it would...

    Lexos' Steeping Extravaganza!

    I've mentioned this before on this forum, but it's called a Vortex Mixer if you follow the link you can see how they show someone holding a test tube on one, they're not exactly cheap.

    Condensed (Flavourart), micro measurement, etc ....

    I hadn't thought about pulling the needle, I actually just twisted the needle and pulled it right out with a pair of needlenose pliers and it worked fine.

    mistral propylene glycerol ?

    I've read and heard vapers claim that they wouldn't buy USP VG or PG off the shelf and that suppliers who sell for vaping have a superior product. They say the Tractor supply PG and Walgreens VG have strange flavors. I think it's complete hogwash. The power of suggestion often influences...

    Condensed (Flavourart), micro measurement, etc ....

    I should have said insulin syringes, the needles come with it. The point of that is that a U-100 insulin syringe has 0.01-mL graduations so it's the cheapest thing I know of to measure in the microliter range.

    Condensed (Flavourart), micro measurement, etc ....

    Hey all, I'm expecting my first order of (real) DIY supplies to arrive by the weekend. All the flavors I got are flavourart condensed flavors. On the cigexpress site they recommend starting around 5%, however in my shopping I know I came across some listings recommending 1-2% as a starting...

    eGo threading and 510/808 compatibility.

    Thanks fenchurch, I'll probably check out a T3. I was hoping maybe it was a more common thing to have heads attaching with the ego threads, but in the past few days I've been studying photos and don't think I've come across anything but the T3 that threads that way. Of course many photos don't...

    OMG!!! I just never knew!

    Congrats Sonso, and best of luck on continuing to be smoke free, I quit 1 month ago today and feel great about it. You have an excellent support group here should you have any trouble and need help. Everyone in my life has been very supportive. My wife thinks I may be getting a bit obsessed...

    Someone Please Tell Me If I'm Going Overboard

    Same here, I keep a spreadsheet that tracks my cost per day vs ciggs. One month in (today) and I've been spending slightly more, though I'm stocked up vs running out with ciggs and buying more every day. Being that I was over 2 packs a day it gives me a good budget, and I think I'm at the point...

    Someone Please Tell Me If I'm Going Overboard

    I did just about the same thing, though not all in the same day. Over the course of about 18 days I bought 22 different juices from 3 vendors. I did buy three larger bottles figuring I didn't want to have to order more juice right away. Of all those the first juice I bought, Volt Country 30-mL...

    PG Vanilla extraction

    I've done coffee, tea and tobacco. I just used as little liquid as possible, with the idea that you'll get the most concentrated flavor that way.
