    +1 Mix both blueberries and reduce the strawberry. The red and blue mix is a tough one with TFA flavorings alone as the berries blend/meld and separation is not created. Mom's totally right! :toast: :D I prefer the sweeter strawberry, and you may get better separation using it. Just a...

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Ok, Mac, so you agree that we can make optimal coils by hand or by jig. You're right, I didn't get that from your posts, and I appreciate you clarifying that! Jigs can be complex, but don't need to be, necessarily, but they work wonders for those of us whose hand strength, and/or flexibility may...

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    I know that you believe that these jigs don't produce coils that achieve the effect, but then I know that to be untrue, as they do. Build one and try it. There's more than one way to achieve the Effect, and hand winding is not the only way, my friend. :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Right. After I added the side tension piece to the jig, I don't lose a wrap any longer either. That fixed the problem and provided a tighter coil, providing tension from two planes simultaneously with mechanical advantage is hard to duplicate manually, a piece of cake with the coiler. Good luck!

    Well, here's one of the posts: Try adding 3% sassafras to this and you'll taste some good ole root beer. I try not to post recipes on this thread that don't contain all TFA flavors. However, most of my recipes do contain one, sometimes two outside brand flavors. TFA is great in so many ways...

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    I posted this information about the coiler I use last summer. Seems like a little revival here about different coiler options, so I just wanted to throw this out, in case anyone is interested. There are certainly a lot more options today. I do like both the side tension and drag on the reel in...

    You can get to a pretty realistic rendition with sassafras. I have some from Flavor West, I believe. I've also posted a couple of different root beer float recipes on this thread, as have several others. Good luck to you! :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    I would increase the PG ratio. At 50 watts your gonna get plenty of vapor either way probably. :toast:

    The only thing you can argue with me about is how nuanced LFM are, and I think you are probably right. However, I make juice a whole lot faster than you! :tongue: I'm not going anywhere....no one else listens to me....:ohmy:

    Remember, the LFM that you speak of taking a month is for the first, or only one mix. My recipes generally average four mixes to find the juice I'm after, and sometimes more. Tweaking a juice after a month, waiting another month, or four months with four iterations is why many juice makers take...

    I've been vaping this juice for two years as my ADV. I may have permanent vaper tongue or something because I need the cinnamon a bit to give me enough flavoring. Enjoy! Warning labels, LOL! :evil: :tongue: :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    Yes, it is an additive, and a very, very good one. As ALWAYS, add fruit (strawberry, cherry, grape, watermelon, lemon, etc.), sweet cream, vanilla and sweetener to the mix. Several recipes posted. This little flavor is wonderful! Again, TFA flavorings are components of flavorings in mixes...

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    I have a coiler that makes great tensioned micro coils, Mac. Of course, I don't even know what a Kuro coiler is ATM, so maybe that's something different, or perhaps I'm not understanding your point. Personally, I find it quite hard to beat mechanical advantage in my coils. Just seeking...
