    Guide to DIY Flavoring

    Hiya Mactavish, First things first, Diacetyl is the chemical additive you want to avoid. That was the root cause of the 'popcorn lung' in the artificial butter, and also many other flavors (check caramel, and others). You'll want to find flavor companies that disclose all of the ingredients...

    Guide to DIY Flavoring

    Yep, just as bootaddict says, it's in flavorings of some types and manufacturers. There are some manufacturing companies that offer two types of the same flavor (like caramel); one with the diaci-stuff and one without. The one with it will pretty much always taste better, but can potentially...

    Guide to DIY Flavoring

    AngiBe, they are also known as a fume hood or flume closet. Typically used in laboratories for hazardous or toxic fumes and vapors. Definitely over the top for any e-liquid DIYer who is only looking to make small batches. It's good you're checking up on all the safety for this. The one thing...

    Kangertech Subtank Mini Broken Glass Fix

    I had heard about these tanks cracking easily, but after 3 months I had not had an issue. Suddenly I had two tanks crack and start leaking, both within a couple of days! Such a thing is truly bad due to over-priced local shops and shipping times/charges for a small $7 piece... Went back to...

    Can someone PLEASE help me with high-VG/high-watt DIY?

    I am going to put this out there due to my buddy having a 150W mod and I hit this mix. It was delicious, but I sub-Ohm at much lower outputs. It was a mix of caramel candy (likely TFA) Vanilla, Bavarian Creme, and a touch of Strawberry. He had it set to like 70 Watts. Hit like a truck for...

    Guide to DIY Flavoring

    Wow, that's the kit! haha. I hope you don't need the apron though :glug: hehe. It is as hypocritelecteur stated as well when dealing with creams and/or tobacco (RY4 inclusive) to add additional time for them to blend and truly get the best flavor out of them. I have made a few batches...

    Guide to DIY Flavoring

    LynnNC, if you have the nicotine and some flavors then you can just make a batch by adding the missing ingredients. You will need to know how much you have and mock it all up on an ejuice calculator (I use the ejuicemeup one, it's pretty nice for free software!). Fill in all the fields with...

    Guide to DIY Flavoring

    Hiya 808. I've been mixing for about 1 1/2 months now. I definitely appreciate the 'hot bath steeping method' because, like you, I am not known for having a great deal of patience when waiting to try something new, lol. Once you get caught up to the point where you have some decent vapes on...

    Immortal fog

    I was just looking at the Immortal Fog line. Since I am only a month or so into DIY'n juices, I am still experimenting. It occurs to me that I some of these recipes are very well established after much testing and time. Sorry not to add any worth to your question, but I am also looking to...

    New Vapin' Escapin' Addict

    Hey Neal, Although I did check out the integrated chip sets purely out of curiosity, I was talking about building a coil wrapping jig to build, haha. I certainly *could* build a mod, but why? I just bought one! I just liked the idea of not trying to press the coils together if I spin...

    New Vapin' Escapin' Addict

    Wow Neal! I'm making one of those coil wrappers! Very cool =D I have a ton of tools and certainly can fab something like that up pretty quick. First off, that little 'nut' from the model in the video needs to be spring loaded so you don't need to switch it. At first I thought the 1 and 2...

    Guide to DIY Flavoring

    Great idea Katt! I'm definitely going to start doing that with the juice (brand w/flavor). Thanks for the tip! It will be awhile before I run out so not too worried at the moment ;)

    Guide to DIY Flavoring

    Thanks for that info KattMamma! I actually have some Tahitian Vanilla on the way (also: Coconut, amaretto, & I think toffee was the last one), and I love vanilla as is so I was planning to steep it some without a doubt. Too bad I didn't get too far into the DIY forums and ended up ordering my...

    Guide to DIY Flavoring

    First off, this thread is great!! :thumbs: Secondly, I am about to begin my 'chemistry project' this coming week and I'm pretty amped up to do it! It seems like a 'hurry up and wait' approach is best when letting flavors steep and deepen over a week or longer. I was curious if there was a...

    New Vapin' Escapin' Addict

    Thanks for the welcome Diver! I was checking out that section quite a bit already, but I guess now I can actually post in it! haha. K_Tech, yeah for sure I have been keeping my 'mod' close alright! Always have 2 spare batteries in the little case with some extra juice and a premade coil...

    New Vapin' Escapin' Addict

    Hi Jimiyh. There certainly are tons of flavors without mint! They even have 'tobacco' flavored ejuices, but honestly I think they are terrible... Pretty much anything you can think of in terms of fruits and sweets they have a mix for. Check General E-Liquid Discussion | E-Cigarette Forum...
