    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    It is not hard, however the rinse water becomes contaminated with the minuscule remnants of the flavor that was in the syringe prior to the rinse. I am lazy and the 15ft walk to the sink to get new rinse water was becoming a chore when I would do 6+ batches. Not sure if I can clearly explain...

    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    Hmm.. IMO my original way of doing business (suck w/ syringe, squirt, rinse w/ cup 'o hot water, repeat with different flavor) was similar to your repeater method and I assumed that the rinse water could lead to cross contamination and I would have to change the water between flavors to ensure...

    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    Ah ha! There it is again! Thanks for the link! So I see you are a ingest-dispense-rinse...repeat user. I used to do that with luer-lock syringes but feared cross contamination with the flavor bottles and went with the drip into an empty syringe with my finger over the bottom, fill to line...

    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    @Mactavish What do you use the repeater for? I remember looking at a thread dealing with it but may have missed the gist as I went off on a tangent researching what a repeater does, where to buy one, and how much they cost used and new. IMHO it would only help "me" for measuring my nic if my...

    Rayon Wick - Better Flow, Flavor, Longevity, and Nic Hit!! - Pt.2

    Exactly what I do to get rid or the residual taste from my fingers or just prior dry burn. Also ensures you don't have a soggy/saggy wick that will scorch due to no wick to coil contact. Sauce that thing up and blow on it until your room is foggy :) If all looks well then proceed to set...

    No worries. We are one of the larger groups in the diy forum and it is more of a friendship collective than a TPA elietist group. Slightly off topic is not uncommon here. I have many flavor brands in my repertoire, however TPA is the one I have the most of. Things really took off due to...

    Rayon Wick - Better Flow, Flavor, Longevity, and Nic Hit!! - Pt.2

    That KF5 is suffering from unvaporized contaminants. If the wick it touching any side in the chamber it will pull those darker juice remnants back into the wick. I would suggest to trim about 50-75% of the shoulders down and drop the rest (tails) in the juice ports. Kinda like a mullet. Short on...

    Rayon Wick - Better Flow, Flavor, Longevity, and Nic Hit!! - Pt.2

    I just picked up a Heracles RTA 2 for long driving trips so my wife doesn't have to refill my dripper so often. Works pretty well and is dual coil friendly. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk

    Hey all! I ran across a simple recipe that is fairly tasty for the RY4 Double/Vanilla loving folks. It is called Custard King at hxxp://e-liquid-recipes....com/ by user James Ry4 Double 8% Sweet Cream 3% Vanilla Swirl 4% All TPA. Unfortunately I do not have TPA Sweet Cream but do have CAP...

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    I finally broke down and purchased some SS430 from unkamen as I was sick and tired of the ni coils deforming when I needed to rewick. There was a nice little sampler of 24g Ti to mess around with in the package. They must figure all the SS430 orders are from vapers :)

    Rayon Wick - Better Flow, Flavor, Longevity, and Nic Hit!! - Pt.2

    Usually that means that your wick is reabsorbing the condensate from your vape. Check to see that your wick isn't making contact with the sides or top of your atomizer chamber. My wick gets darker with age and usually it is just remnants of things that don't atomize at vape temps. It could also...

    Whew that is a lot of cake batter! Shake and vape? Because I like to tinker I'll whip up a small batch with only CAP Sweet Strawberry @10% (since that is all I have :)).

    The shisha strawberry is very pronounced and powers through the underlying creams. Sometimes I have had a strawberry and cream concoction where the sweet cream and bav cream take over and totally muddle the strawberry. The shisha strawberry reminds me exactly like the hookah stuff I used while...

    I agree. When I first toyed with DIY I was dead scared of 100mg. Heck, check my avatar picture. That sticker is about 8"x8" plastered on the side of my 1L bottle. Kinda unnerving if you are new to DIY. I have gotten a drop on my hands did not experience any ill effects that I expected. It...

    I tired it and loved it! My favorite part is that the strawberry remains at the forefront throughout the entire bottle. I do 15mL batches fwiw. Wife even says it smells good which is rare. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk
