    I find that I need to replace my wick every day. I'm a heavy vaper, and I just love that new wick/coil vape after it breaks in. Usually, a dozen vapes and she's a ready to deliver the wonderful flavor of DIY. By the way, I have never seen the attraction of dike's. Just not for me....not that...

    Haven't been in the vape lab in months (on new mixes). But, as a request to an ECF friend, I copied a commercial juice and here is Bill's Lion. Bill's Lion Butterscotch - 10% Bavarian Cream - 6% Cotton Candy - 3% Vanilla Swirl - 3% Acetyl Pyrazine - 1% Jo, asked me to add this to the...

    Regarding the cinnamon question, I prefer the spice over several other TFA cinnamon's. It makes for a nice background cinnamon in a blended HFM recipe, and doesn't kick one in the teeth as the tank cracking cinnamon does. Also, the stronger the cinnamon, the longer the blend time, i.e., breath...

    I use the Granny apple in my caramel apple recipe. Caramel Candy Apple (21%) Granny Smith Apple - 6% Cotton Candy - 5% Caramel Candy - 4% Caramel Extra - 3% Bavarian Cream - 3% The Creams, caramels and sweeteners work well together to soften the Granny Smith so that it doesn't stand out too...

    Just for clarification purposes, I want to make the distinction between diacetyl, the "popcorn lung chemical" that has caused the bulk of the "diketone" concerns, and TFA flavorings, NONE of which contain any diacetyl, at any level, regardless of whether they are free or laden with diketones. A...

    Great question, by the way. The great Diketone debate. The reason that TFA carries flavorings in both diketone free and diketone "laden" versions is that enough vapers are concerned about it to provide for a second flavor market for the diketone free flavorings. I haven't tried them, but I've...

    Great looking strawberry Milk Shake you got there! Also, the Mellon Ball looks great, as well! Cucumber is out for me as a flavoring, and not a big fan of mint either, but we appreciate your recipes. Glad to have you on board and contributing. Many thanks for the kind words. Good luck! :toast...

    :D:D Agree, nothing but plastic for my nicotine! Can you imagine an accidental drop? :shock: :danger: Sure, plastic can leach into juices, but not all plastic does this. Try HDPE plastic. This is made for pipelines and it's virtually indestructible for over 50 years. Makes a fine way to store...

    Regarding mixing order, there's only one vital rule that you must follow. If you use tank cracker flavorings (PG), you must add all the other PG flavorings and any unflavored PG together first, BEFORE you add the tank cracker flavoring. If you don't, you will get the dreaded white milky...

    Yes, I think you may have too high a percentage on the dulce. It's strong stuff, but delicious when it's dialed in right. My cereals MUST have my dulce de leche. These stronger flavorings can cross the line and dominate, killing the nuanced flavorings of something like a Fruit Loops, where...

    You may want to increase your percentages to 20% or higher. Unless you plan to steep the juice for days/weeks, you need more flavoring percentages. This could easily be why you don't taste a strong enough flavoring. In the case of the dulce, it could be why you feel it is overwhelming the mix...

    What percentage of overall flavorings were you using? And, please, what percentage of Dulce de Leche were you using? My cereals die without my Dulce de Leche. :D Of course, taste is so specific and unique for each of us. Also, the bottom of the bowl sugary sweet milky flavoring is only one way...

    High Flavor Mixes (HFM) will get you great tasting juice immediately to perhaps 24 hours. Low Flavor Mixes require steeping, often one or more weeks to find out if you have a good mix. I almost quit juice making waiting for a decent juice to arrive, before discovering HFM. This thread, at least...

    What kind of peanut butter mix are you looking for? Peanut butter and what? I love peanut butter and use it all the time in several choco mixes, such as Peanut Butter Cup, Butterfinger, and Creamy Peanut Butter. What did you have in mind? I'm sure we can whip something up for you. Since peanut...

    Try stirring the mixture, instead of shaking. Aeration in vaping terms means allowing the air bubbles in the mix to circulate the mixture which helps greatly with blending, and then to dissipate the air in the mixture. In other words, in vaping we want the air to circulate and leave/escape the...

    To continue this discussion, I believe that there's a rather large distinction between mixing, blending and aerating, steeping, and breathing. Allowing our juices to blend over an hour or two while the bubbles in the mix dissipate is good practice, imho. Long term steeping of high flavor mixes...

    Aeration takes place after mixing and involves the removal of those air bubbles. Breathing is what happens after we seal the juice and open it from time to time after sealing. I seal my bottles after the bubbles are all gone, what I call aeration, and with the wide bottles or beakers, usually...
