    Little advice for DIY

    I gave up on all sweeteners as they did tend to mute flavors too much. As Danny said, I use marshmallow at about 1% if I wish to sweeten a mix.

    Is iStick Pico hard to use?

    It's about one of the simplest VW mods going. My wife loves hers. The kit is a good idea and a good value too.

    VG 100% Only For Clouds ?

    This is a very interesting point, and maybe a topic discussed before, but how many out of the "masses" of "the children" who pick up vaping over smoking are actually using nic? I mean, why would you?

    VG 100% Only For Clouds ?

    In most of the cloud competitions I've seen, they use straight VG to blow clouds out of a dripper. For a tank, you will need at least some PG or DW (distilled Water) to thin the mix so it can wick properly.

    bad aftertaste from diy liquid

    A day with the cap off, then I agree with Sugar, may just need more time to steep. See how it is in a week or so.

    bad aftertaste from diy liquid

    Try leaving the cap off for several hours, that can sometimes get rid of the alcohol. How long of a steep has this juice had?

    First DIY

    I couldn't imagine going through less than 10ML per day!!!!!...granted I vape at 6mg strength. I'm not sure I could vape 20 anymore, even though I started at 24 to get off the smokes.

    First DIY

    at 10 ML per day you have 500 days of juice supply. From what I have read, extracting natural flavors without knowing exactly what you are doing, is not recommended. There is a reason many flavorings are "artificial" Some extracts can actually be harmful or downright toxic. If you must try to...

    DIY liquid - sweetner?

    +1 on using up to 1% marshmallow or Cotton candy to sweeten up a mix. Start low and work your way up, as those flavors can become dominant as well.

    That is the Milkman recipe I use and I put Cap sweet strawberry in it all the time. Don't worry about a thing, it will come out delicious. It's not a dead on clone, but real close.

    Curious

    As time goes by, I find my former "trigger points" that used to signal time for a smoke are diminishing. Vaping and smoking are two different animals to me now. I don't treat one like the other if you know what I mean. I vape at times I would have never smoked (at work, etc) and don't get...

    Dirty wick. Unhealthy?

    Could you show us a picture of what you consider "gunked up", maybe your being really picky on the idea of what dirty is. Most of the black gunk I find is water soluable, so most likely not a carbon. I've always been under the impression it was more carmelized sweetener. Have you tried...

    Dirty wick. Unhealthy?

    Two tanks full and your gunked up totally? What kind of juice are you using? I can get 4 -5 days before I rewick, and I like sweet bakery flavors. To answer the question, I don't think a dirty coil transfers any more or less "toxins" than a clean one, it just performs worse.

    Holy Smokes Batman what a difference a year made!!

    It's so true, once you find your comfort zone and get into DIY on the juice, vaping is soooooo much better than smoking ever could be. Cheap too!

    Information OverLoad. Need help on purchase

    Combine bad and DJ's advice and you've got your answer. You will need some type of small mod and a tank that can handle some wattage. The Istick/Nautilus combo was my first rig that truly replaced cigarettes. I too got caught up in the cig-a-likes....bottom line....they suck. Keep looking and...
