    To hold my wire on the spool, I took an old eraser, broke it in half, and wedge it into the spool. Quick, easy, FREE, and works every time! Sorry, no pics! :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    Regarding stocks in supply, I have ordered from The Flavor Apprentice exclusively for two + years now, and have never found them to be out of stock on anything yet. You can fill out a form (30 seconds), and this will allow you to buy the larger sizes for about the same price as the 30 ml size...

    I've had really good luck with chocolate and have posted a dozen or more recipes in dropbox and on this thread. The answer to my favorite waffle is Belgian, and always get the lighter flavors if given a choice. Double chocolate is always paired with milk chocolate, and by varying the percentage...

    Depends on the flavoring, but, that being said, I have many flavors over 2 years old that are still going strong. In fact, I'm trying to think if I've ever had a flavor go "bad".... I haven't, though there could be some I rarely use that have done so. Perhaps someone with longer flavoring age...

    Quite a setup, my friend! I spent the first two years vaping trying literally everything on the market. When I found the Kayfun, and later the Taifun, then the Taifun GT2, I stopped buying vaporizers, other than the 30 or so Taifuns I now use. Thank you for sharing your experiences on your...

    Yes, the pressure seal is everything! I switched to the Taifun, only because I think the Vape is better, it does fill from the bottom, and does eliminate the top air leak issue, but, nevertheless, maintaining the pressure seal is all important, and a top cap that is not sealing correctly is not...

    There's a trick to top filling the kayfun. All of this starts with maintaining the seal at the chamber. The trick is to not tighten the top, catching the threads nominally, and then as you tighten the top, you turn the device upside down, which forces the air in the tank, through the chamber...

    Sweetener and/or cotton candy may improve that mix, btw. These not only add obvious sweetness, but pull out more flavorings, as well. Just a fwiw.... :thumb: :toast: :D :vapor:

    I've heard nothing but rave reviews for you strawberries and cream, and did watch you struggle with your iterations as you "perfected" your ADV. Congrats and hat's off. Strawberry is tricky and doesn't always place nice with others. While you have a predilection for diketone free flavorings, I...

    You GOT IT, sister!!! A big HELLO, my friend! HFM ATM with a couple of drops of citric acid, and you're good to go, with long-term locked in flavoring, little or no steep time, great juice, immediate use, adjustable flavoring (100DT), no guesswork, FAST, no time wasted, AND, YES! you can learn...

    Quite the opposite, my friend! I mix the flavorings and PG together, often for many weeks/months.....and then apply whatever Nic and VG to it for vaping. In this way, I can match the Nic to whomever's Nic level, and generally match their PG/VG ratio, as well. Also, though HFM ATM's don't...

    I'm all Taifun GT2's these days (AFC).....ahhhhh.....much better. Really wish I had a Gandalf Pipe.....I gave up the search for one some time back.....and I'm talking about a Vaping Pipe, not an actual pipe! I do note that when Gandalf smokes his pipe, with whatever magical mix he uses, the look...

    Indeed. Yes, an early recipe, pre-HFM, and not nuanced. Accordingly, it can be improved upon, and steeping is one method to improve upon a bad mix, though non-ATM mixes rarely become great. There, I said it! :D :toast: :2cool: :vapor:

    It's mine! The wife mentioned the flavoring, and that's what I came up with several years ago. Enjoy! BTW, Pecan Pie, Dragon's Blood, Chocolate Milkshake, and Flamingo are mine as well. OR, at least I have recipes with those same names....all in dropbox. Enjoy!! :D :toast: :2cool: :vapor:

    Yes, I do get tired of explaining things over and over, and wrote blogs to take care of many of those chores. However, I am deeply involved in a work project that has a rather critical and difficult time pressure, and, am missing for work related issues mainly. As you know, I am all about...

    SM V3 Semovar VS Provari

    I have noticed the same thing. I would include the Eye in the same line up. Once I found the top of the line devices, I haven't looked back, and I tried more than 50 different ones in my search. I pretty much use the P3 exclusively these days, but I use the 2.5 and Eye as backups. Haven't needed...

    My five favorite flavors would be: Cinnamon Danish Peach Cobbler Oreo's and Cream One of my lemon recipes (not lemonade) One of my Chocolate recipes Hard to limit it to just five, for me. The Apple Jacks is good. Just depends on my mood. I usually keep ten or so tanks ready to vape, so I'm not...
