    Help - Nasty flavor of nicotine in my diy juice

    CLEARNIC: Cool info, and good news. :) Side-by-side comparison: Yes. Old is more tan colored, New is nearer to clear; but a little yellow. Old is STINKY, new has a slight odor. Old, when mixed, made ejuices that had a noticeable tinge of old ashtray. New has no discernible effect on taste...

    Help - Nasty flavor of nicotine in my diy juice

    OK! As soon as I contacted RTS about this a few weeks ago, they offered to refund me or send me a replacement, no questions asked. I was amazed, which is sad, because good customer service shouldn't be so surprising. C'est la vie. Anyway, my mail situation is complicated, so it takes a while to...

    Help - Nasty flavor of nicotine in my diy juice

    Yes; the culprit is definitely the RTS Vapes 100 mg/ml PG. I get the same nasty flavor when I make unflavored e-liquid with nic, and if I make a nic-free batch, the nasty flavor is gone.

    Help - Nasty flavor of nicotine in my diy juice

    I have the used proper care and respect that 100 mg/ml deserves: smell via wafting (which I believe I stated before), gloves when handling implements that have come in contact with the solution. Thorough washing of everything involved, post-mixing. The folks that indicate it as dangerous are...

    Help - Nasty flavor of nicotine in my diy juice

    Just bought some 100mg/ml unflavored pg from ecigexpress.com... hopefully theirs will smell better... Any other ideas out there?

    Help - Nasty flavor of nicotine in my diy juice

    The color is pretty yellow. And since writing, I've had a eureka moment and realized where I've smelled that nastiness before: imagine a wet ashtray. Now stuff your nose in it and inhale like an 80s coke-fiend... That's my experience when I waft the bottle of 100 under my nose. I asked a friend...

    Help - Nasty flavor of nicotine in my diy juice

    I'm making my own juices for the first time, and I bought my supplies from RTS Vapes: 100mg/ml PG (tested to be 103mg/ml, error tolerance of +/- 3mg/ml) nic free PG nic free VG Also, tons of flavors from several vendors, mostly Capella and Mt Baker Vapor. So, here's my problem. When I open...

    Drip tip?

    Thanks for clearing that up, Baditude! I was still a little hazy on this.

    Building Wicks: Electricity, volts, ohms and watts. How it all fits together.

    Ok, I'm new to vaping, but not so new to electrics. Here's what I know, and how I think it fits together. If you see anything that seems incorrect or inconsistent, by all means call me out! I'm writing this because in all the threads I've read, there's one thing missing: How power (wattage) is...

    I posted 2 new threads and 4 replies to others in this forum, but I'm still locked out of other forums... Any idea what I'm missing?

    Joyetech 3400mah battery charging too fast?

    Similar experience with my eVic. The way these batteries work, getting to 95% happens FAST. Those last 5% are what can take another 5 hours.

    New member from Oklahoma. Having battery issues though...

    Brick and mortar? Cool. Take it back to the shop. No reason for them not to help you out. That's kind of the point of a b&m these days...

    Which regulated mod to buy

    I'm pretty new, but here's what I went with: 1: pureblu. Little cartomizer cigarette looking thing. Did it several years ago. They were nice for a few minutes, but the batteries died so quickly, the cartomizers ran out of juice really fast, and the atomizers went bad quickly too. I had no idea...

    eVic Temperature - High readings?

    2 ohms. And I *think* the eVic is attempting to read the temp of the atomizer; the temp reading disappears and is replaced with "please install atomizer" when I unscrew it. Something to add, though; I just noticed this. The problem only occurs when I vape with the eVic plugged in. I can vape it...

    eVic Temperature - High readings?

    Hi! This is probably meant more for the eVic specific forum, but I'm too new to post anywhere but here... My evic, when running my Olympus Hybrid in genesis mode, reads out high temps (120 deg F) very quickly. It doesn't seem that warm... the head is kinda warm, but not very. The "hot" part of...

    Help with flavor in my new Olympus Hybrid RBA

    Hi all, So, I'm pretty new, been vaping for less than a month, but I dove right in. I bought Vapage U-Turn 1300 and an eVic (love it), 2 different Vivi Novas (the 3.5ml and the STV 3.5ml), a bunch of flavors of eLiquid, and a beautiful RBA, the Olympus Hybrid. Bought a bunch of Kanthal (A-1...
