    Is there hope ?

    100mg Nic base freezes well, so there's no issue with buying in quantity and re-bottling it in 100ml glass bottles. Keep it in a freezer and it stays clear over time. After 3 years in the freezer, mine looks and tastes fresh. Over time, there has been no visible change.

    Is there hope ?

    FDA Regulation of Synthetic Nicotine May Be on the Horizon

    I ordered a several liters of 100mg/ml nic base a couple of years age, broke it down into 100ml clear glass bottles, and stored it in the freezer. At my 3mg/ml vape level I've only partially used a little over one 100ml bottle of nic since then. I expect my nic supply to last for many years...

    New day starts to vape

    FWIW, I started vaping in 2010 to try and quit smoking. 24mg juice was about right for my 2 PAD cigarette habit. By the end of my first week vaping 24mg juice I was convinced that vaping was going to satisfy my nic habit. I was still smoking a cigarette in the morning and after meals. I...

    An Observation in the General Perception of Vaping

    I usually try to find a table in a corner out of the way. I don't produce clouds and no one has complained in years. Wait staff doesn't seem to notice. 70pg dissipates in a couple of seconds. I couldn't do it with high VG and higher wattage.

    An Observation in the General Perception of Vaping

    I can't remember the last time anyone complained about my vaping, even in a restaurant. I vape at 8 or 10 watts, 70% PG, and exhale downward. The vapor doesn't cloud and what's there is gone in a second or two. I still get my 3mg hit and no one seems to notice. I see people vaping clouds...

    New day starts to vape

    As my tagline says in my post ... I remember the day, but not the actual date. "Vaping since 2010. Not one cigarette smoked since then!" I started vaping in early 2010 and dual used for part of my first year vaping and finally decided that I didn't need the nic from burning tobacco. By that...

    That is why US Vape industry is on the edge of destruction right now

    Those who want to switch are successful. The rest don't want to "believe" that the Vape is the answer.

    New day starts to vape

    I quit my two pack a day smoking habit using 24mg vape juice, which is approximately comparable to a Marlboro Red or a Winston. The first week I'd vape and smoke and I smoked only 3 cigs a day by the end of the first week. As time went on, I got used to the vape and just quit smoking. 24mg...

    Why has my vape juice gone black (Affnix banana ice)

    FWIW, I've mixed and vaped simple PG, VG, and Nic unflavored for years after I quit using flavors. I really don't miss the flavorings. I get my Nic hit and coils last much longer before I have to change them. Once in a great while I'll put a little flavored mix into a tank just for a...

    That is why US Vape industry is on the edge of destruction right now

    Government sucks up payments from tobacco companies on an annual basis. They'd hate to lose the Sin Tax. Tobacco companies pay billions to compensate for smoking-related illness. Is it enough?

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I switched to DIY juices over a year ago and eventually just started vaping with nic, pg, and vg as the only additives. I ordered 3 liters of 100mg/ml nic and re-bottled it into Boston Rounds glass bottles. My 100mg/ml nic stays in those bottles in a box in the upright freezer. After more...

    show us your dirty coils

    Those are definitely funky coils! I've used stainless steel wire for years. A roll of SS 316 wire makes lots of coils and I've probably gotten a couple of years off a roll. You can lightly dry burn an SS coil and immediately dunk it under the sink tap to wash off the residue and it lasts quite...

    Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

    ECF is one reason I have too much vape gear! After settling down on Kayfun tanks for my daily vape I bought about 20 of them on sale years ago. Two of those are my daily use tanks and the rest are safely nested in a closet with more vape gear. It's hard to wear out a stainless steel tank, so...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I ordered 4 liters of 100 mg/ml nic a couple of years ago, separated it all into 100ml Boston Rounds glass bottles, boxed it up, and stored it in the freezer. More than a year later I've only used one of the bottles to mix at my 3mg vape strength, and that nic bottle is still way more than...

    VAPERS! - STOP THE FEDS TAXING YOUR VAPE

    I signed the petition and it looks like I need to stock up on additional liters of 100mg/ml nic base. I've still gpt most of a liter frozen in glass bottles that's lasted me several years at 3ml strength. 3ml vaping stretches nic base quite well. You'd think that government would view...

    For what it's worth...

    Doctors tend to dispense advice on the safe side and that's a good policy. If they aren't familiar with a med or a practice that their patients are involved in (like vaping), they recommend abstaining. Some doctors agree that vaping is much better than smoking once they look into it and find...

    Snails - Response on Threads Part 8

    Good Morning, Snails! FWIW, I turned 70 back in March. I'm still doing a 6 mile stationary bike ride several times a week, along with a couple of sets of bicep curls, dead lifts, and tricep extensions with the same weight on the curl bar. 70 isn't nearly what I thought it would be. Use it or...
