    Slow Cooker Extraction of Tobacco and Tea

    I don't know where you got the idea of uncovered maceration jars in the water bath, but I would never do that. I put lids on everything---the maceration jars, which are sealed with screw-on lids, and the pot, which is covered with a normal pot lid (meaning not sealed, just covered). I've...

    emmsa, A VAMO v6 in stainless steel is only $30.49 shipped from FastTech. The new v6s are 5-20 watts (Vrms) with a generous 7 amp limit. More bang-for-buck in terms of price/performance than most APVs. You'll need a couple 18350 IMRs and a charger, if you don't have one. In 18650 mode, VAMOs...

    Slow Cooker Extraction of Tobacco and Tea

    Influence, Congratulations. I agree with Johni, right down the line. Less and better filtering, and more extract in mixing juices. Cheese cloth and coffee filters won't cut it no many how many times you run the macerated solvent through them. Cheese cloth might be good for a quick first...

    The Really Big RY4 Roundup (long)

    I didn't miss AzureVaping RY4.5, I simply didn't buy it in the retail juice version. I bought and reviewed it as an RY4 all-in-one DIY flavoring, so it's discussed and graded in that fourth section of The Big List, in post 5550.

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    Yes, I knew that my response to your previous question would seem counter-intuitive, but that was because of the particular way the question was phrased. When you're comparing Vavg to Vrms by keeping the wattage constant while increasing the resistance, you're also raising the voltage. As the...

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    The resistance is a factor in the equations, but only one of three---current (Amps), power (watts), and pressure (voltage). With your specific question, higher resistance increases the deviation. Keep in mind, though, that numbers are just numbers. What matters finally is how happy you are with...

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    Mazinny, Yes, although this has not yet been formally confirmed by Phil Busardo, it's plain as day that the iStick uses Vavg rather than Vrms to calculate how much voltage is being delivered. Basically, the iStick runs hot at low wattage. This problem arises with devices that use Pulse...

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    A couple of factors coalesced today that motivated me to change what I've been doing. First, I've read numerous posts on various threads (including this one) asserting that old-style spaced coils gunk less with NETs than the more recent micro coils many of us have come to rely on. While I...

    Don't worry. I am as certain as I can be (within the limits of human fallibility, of course) that Phil will not find the current version of the iStick to be calibrated in Vrms.

    Cold maceration of tobacco

    Boston clear glass bottles with glass dropper tops, 2 oz. and 4 oz., mostly, except when I run out of them, in which case I use whatever plastic juice bottles I have that are large enough to hold a couple ounces. My preference is glass, however. Stored in the drawer of a cabinet with a...

    How long a battery charge will last is not mysterious. It's a calculation based on Ohm's Law using current flow relative to the battery's rated capacity (in the iStick's case, 2200mAh). Certain user variables can make that calculation more complicated (length of your draw and how hard you draw)...

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    Me too, except that I never got the love part of the love-hate see-saw with Patriot. Neither Old nor New Patriot, and I tried both. Actually, I don't hate either of the Patriot versions; I just don't like them enough to vape. I also agree about Vita Bella. Now that I'm stocked with...

    moO#1? OK, I get part of that. "O#1" stands for GoodEJuice Organic #1. But what does "mo" mean? Another cipher from the Land of Arcane Acronyms?

    Cold maceration of tobacco

    Yes, home extracting has pretty much ruined retail NETs for me (or ruined me for them). With a precious few exceptions for old favorites I still vape daily (Ahl Caramel Wild Wood) or continue to want to have around for when the mood strikes (GeJ Vita Bella), I no longer buy any retail NETs or...
