    Going to start DIY

    Um, no chemicals? Particularly none of those two naturally occurring chemicals you mentioned that are more likely to be in extracts than synthetic? I'm at a loss. The whole world is chemicals.... If you don't want a vacuum, could you rephrase the query?

    Indiana Call to Action - Stop the Monopoly

    As a board member of the Hoosier Vapers, Inc, I cannot comment on pending litigation. I can only present facts entered into the court record. Doesn't mean I wouldn't like to, but legal team has strongly advised against doing so. Thought folks here would like to know some new news though.

    Indiana Call to Action - Stop the Monopoly

    Two days ago, all six of the Indiana E-liquid Manufacturing permit holders filed an 11th hour motion asking to intervene in our preliminary injunction proceedings and in the federal lawsuit. They are specifically asking the judge to require Hoosier Vapers to pay a bond to cover any loses they...

    PG/VG bases labeled as Pharmaceutical/Food Grade. Is it legit?

    @Hitmetwice , um, thanks. I'm just a guy who realized one day that I forgot to smoke the day before and wanted to help others have that same amazing experience. The mixing and stuff is just because I have trouble with letting someone else do things for me. I dove in DIY because it seemed...

    PG/VG bases labeled as Pharmaceutical/Food Grade. Is it legit?

    Actually the USP standard includes standards for packaging and handling and the environmental factors during transfer. Once the bottle is unsealed, it is no longer USP unless the standards for the environment, handling, and packaging / repackaging are met. If someone is repackaging without...

    PG/VG bases labeled as Pharmaceutical/Food Grade. Is it legit?

    You have done some research, that's good. USP is a certification as we use certification in common vernacular. Certified food grade is slightly different than just food grade... A potato grown in normal conditions and nothing added to it is food grade. Test the potato to assure it's a potato...

    PG/VG bases labeled as Pharmaceutical/Food Grade. Is it legit?

    If PG or VG meets USP standards, it exceeds, and may legally be labeled as, food grade. It may also be labeled as agricultural and/or machine grade because USP purity is above those too. The only difference I have found in USP PG from a pharmacy and USP from a farm supply store is packaging...

    New FDA regulations and effect on DIY?

    Operation Choke Point. An administration tactic that has taken up a life of its own like these things are wont to do.

    New FDA regulations and effect on DIY?

    Ah, yeah, the do not intend bit. They said that about the seatbelt law in Indiana when it was first passed. They did not intend to pull people over for the sole purpose of enforcing the law. Now we are subject to week long periods where that is the sole reason for anyone being pulled over...

    Will be a sad day in Indiana!

    There is a rally scheduled for the 24th of April for media attention. The more folks that show up, the more attention, so that may help. The lawsuits are the real last hope and they require money because we couldn't find lawyers to work for free. Goldbug's shop was the first B&M in Indiana...

    Just a question

    Agree with the previous posters. Another thing to investigate is the accuracy of your measurements. What may be an insignificant error at 10ml total volume could be a significant error at 30. I call going from small batches to larger "ramp up" and if you are doing everything well at the...

    advice needed!

    Nothing weird going on. You are dealing with a boost circuit. The key, and this may seem odd, is that a battery is a power source with a fixed voltage. It's not a voltage source. It's not a current source. Power is measured in watts. Watts are the product of voltage and current. If you...

    DIY Styles and advice to the beginners

    With the number of vendors that now exist, there is no reason for DIY juice to be intimidating. Finding a source for flavorings was my toughest challenge...back when dinosaurs roamed the vaping landscape. Start mixing. Making "mistakes" is actually a fantastic way to find something great you...

    Thanks DC2. I'm always amazed by out-of-state folks supporting this fight. We've had more than I thought possible already.

    Indiana Call to Action - Stop the Monopoly

    There are two lawsuits against the state that need support. One in federal court and the Hoosier Vapors suit in state court. We have an injunction hearing scheduled for mid-April. Expect a call for another rally for the injunction hearing...

    Indiana Call to Action - Stop the Monopoly

    Having been part of previous rallies, I thought this one was one of the better ones. Turnout is a huge issue. Weekdays, when the statehouse is open, are sparsely attended. This one had a larger turnout, but the numbers were pitiful. Less than 10% of Hoosier's employed in the vape industry...

    Indiana Call to Action - Stop the Monopoly

    We're shooting for favorable media attention... What we desire will be kept from cameras... I like the tar and feathers route myself followed by a rail... Family friendly folks! It should be a good time. Vapers are typically friendly people and it is spring time so we are more open to...
