    Would you say this statement is true?

    False.... I have some recipes that are finally perfect. While that is the minority, it's enough to say some are done because it tastes exactly like I envisioned when I started.

    DIY E liquid help

    Depends on the recipe. They go from 0.35% to 35%. Finding the right flavoring level for the specific flavorings and taste you're going for is kinda' what the whole recipe development stage is all about. Are you having wicking issues? If so, then water may help. If not, then water may not...

    DIY Steeping Questions

    Steeping an unflavored base is like bottling tap water and letting it sit for a week before making Kool-Aid. Not tasting a flavored mix before steeping is like starting a maze race with your eyes closed. You'll miss important information that could help you at the end. One is completely free...

    New DIYer, tell me how i did

    Both are correct. Depends on the juice. How DIY'ers do it is to try different things and see what works best for the specific recipe. Hidebound is what you'd call someone who always does something the same way with every recipe, not a DIY mixer.

    DIY Steeping Questions

    Eh, I can kinda' see 15% EM when going for cotton candy. Never wanted a plain cotton candy flavor so never tried. Does seem high though knowing what I know about the abilities of EM though. A friend offered me a"glazed donut" juice to try last weekend. Smelled like wet sugar and I made a face...

    DIY Steeping Questions

    I just want to know what they tasted like before the crockpot thing? What was wrong with them that made you think steeping would help? And was that before or after you let them breathe? I usually ask what your unflavored tasted like, but we'll skip that one right now.

    Indiana Call to Action: Multiple Indiana bills would threaten access to and use of e-cigarettes.

    The ATC is not expected to issue preliminary regulation until late December. There isn't much for folks outside the process to do until that is published except join the fight against it. Cannot comply with unpublished regulations, interpreted by the agency responsible for doing so. We are in...

    Does ANY online shop carry tfa and lorann flavoring with popular flavors actually in stock????

    Ah, don't be sorry for the OP. Gave me a good chuckle because I've been there. Didn't use the word fracking though....

    My DIY Mixing Experiences, Rather "Meh"

    I'm not cut out to be a gymnast or an artistic illustrator. It takes someone with a special knack to do those things and enjoy them. Looking at every craptastic juice as a fantastic discovery of how not to do a specific flavor takes a special kind of crazy. I'm special that way. Do what makes...

    Ethyl alcohol I'm lorAnn oils?

    I use ethyl / ethanol / PGA in my mixes on a fairly regular basis. I have no idea what your definition of safe is?

    Want to improve my DIY technique

    Mixing single flavoring liquids together in various ratios is my usual method. Allows me to get the % fairly close on the singles and is easier to make a number of small batches for test testing. Notes are darn important and my labels on my small batches are also shorthand versions of my...

    Indiana Call to Action: Multiple Indiana bills would threaten access to and use of e-cigarettes.

    Right, been busy with things that are not for public release...yet. First, Hoosier Vapers is now a 501c4 corporation instead of a club. Second, website hosting and Facebook has been transferred to the corporation so there are more changes coming. Third, just today the board of directors voted...

    help! DIY menthol crystals problems

    There are many ways to do it. I nearly fill a bottle with crushed crystals and then add a bit of PGA and shake. I keep adding PGA and shaking until the bottle is full and the crystals are dissolved. A few drops from that will put a big menthol kick in any juice. (PGA is pure grain alcohol...

    WARNING: Redundancy; FA meringue and fresh cream: AP or Acetoin? Chem Analysis anywhere?

    Being an FA fan, but never stating they we all D-free, I just saw the press release by FA and popped over..... Only to find someone else had posted the link.... I do miss the old caramel flavoring before it was reformulated to it's current version. Bet that puppy would have lit up the testing...

    WARNING: Redundancy; FA meringue and fresh cream: AP or Acetoin? Chem Analysis anywhere?

    I never saw any creamy, milk, or buttery flavorings in the vaping line. So yes, if you want to avoid the D's, stay away from stuff that derives its natural taste from those compounds.

    Spit. Rebuilding supplies. Yeah, next pay-period I have to get some reserve there... Crxess, you're not the only one who's body is failing in weird ways.

    Big Order Today

    I hear ya' crxess. I've been in employment limbo for a number of years now. Every temp position means I have some income going to building up my stash. (Limbo = in and out of employment where "permanent" means until the company slashes jobs and "temporary" means until contract expires, so I...

    Vaping PG or PG only

    It was normal for a friend of mine. Not normal for me or my family. Not really sure which case is typical.
