    How much for your 30ml of DIY e-Juice?

    I vape mostly (80+% of the time) unflavored. I buy nic by the liter ($45-50 US @ Heartland Vapes, and RTS/Nicotine Giant respectively), and PG ($19 US), and VG ($14 US) by the gallon @ Bulk Apothecary. A 30mL bottle of 40PG/60VG 18mg/mL unflavored runs me $0.37, not counting the bottle. I...

    That's the recipe. Ella Robinson (aka. Betamax) is the actual author of the recipe. :)

    How sweet are flavor concentrates?

    I agree that FA fruits are generally not sweet. Inawera (INW) is another good mfg., which does not get heavy handed with sweetening, and does a pretty good job with their fruit flavors. When you start looking at compound/complex flavorings (like apple pie, where you have pie crust, apple...

    I'm with @uthinkofsomething; the only DIY application for benzoic acid, that I have heard of, is DIYing one's own nic salts (alternatively; citric acid, and/or malic acid have also been used). :)

    One time small order shipping

    Not sure why you think that.:confused: Where did you check? TFA (mfg. website) Bull City Flavors Nicotine Giant Other vendors may treat it as more of a seasonal/holiday concentrate.

    DIY software for Linux

    @BrotherBob, this may be old/redundant news for you... but, if you are looking for a free alternative for a Windows machine (10, or other), to MS Office (including Word)... I have found great satisfaction using Apache's Open Office. I have only used the Word, and Excel equivalents; but they work...

    E-Juice Liquids - What Percentages to Use?

    You bring up a very valid point, @n00bVape. I am a strong advocate for vaping new/unfamiliar mixes early and often. Whether it is a single flavor concentrate mix, or a complex recipe; I believe, the best way to understand how that mix develops, is to do frequent test vaping. There is no harm...

    Coffee and bourbon

    I agree, the finer the filter, the longer it will take to filter. That, combined with the viscosity of the chosen solvent (PG, ethanol, water, VG, etc.), will influence how easily/quickly a solution can be filtered. Each DIYer has to choose what level of convenience and quality one wants, and...

    E-Juice Liquids - What Percentages to Use?

    @RaisedFist, while you are waiting to place your order.... here are a few other good sites for reference and flavor reviews: Reddit flavor concentrate reviews index (this is a great list of the more thorough/thoughtful concentrate reviews found on Redit) ConcreteRiver flavor reviews index (many...

    Coffee and bourbon

    Just keep in mind; wine makers are making a product to ingest, not vaporize and inhale. Those that are more concerned with coil life fill use 1.5-1.0 micron, to help mitigate gunking.

    Coffee and bourbon

    If you want to pursue extraction; you might want to consider using something like this: AeroPress It is used (with success) by some of the folks doing tobacco extraction. They just sub 1-2 micron laboratory filter paper for the included coffee filters. It handles smaller volumes nicely... and...

    Random DIY mixing and More

    That is one "trick" that translates from real life. I remember Mom always added a squeeze of fresh lemon to the blueberries as she cooked them down for pie or cobbler filling. It wasn't enough to add a perceivable sour or lemon flavor; but it would brighten the berries and help them stand out...

    Random DIY mixing and More

    I haven't done a lot with blueberry. Hitt and Letitia, have way more expertise with it than I do; so I would readily bow to their experience. But, just as general observations go... -- 29% of the total flavoring (4% of 14% total) of Bavarian cream seems waaay too much to me. If I really wanted...

    Wal Mart Food Scale & Safety Question

    200g is adequate for measuring up to (roughly) 120-160mL batch sizes. This will be dependent on PG/VG ratio desired; as well as type(glass/plastic), and weight of container you will be measuring into. Do try to find as much information on the scale as you can. Scales may claim displays of 0.01g...

    RTAs for a restricted lung hit

    If anyone is still in the market for a Silverplay; VaporDNA is having a sale (valid until midnight 7/22) on them. They currently price out at $16. But, with discount code BIGSTEP, they ended up being $8 a piece. I didn't buy enough to qualify for free shipping. So, adding $7 for 3 of them to...

    I don't have any experience with FLV Jammy Berry. CAP Strawberry Sweet is vapeable in a day or two, but needs a week, week and a half, to settle into a consistent flavor ( it has a bit of that wierd "comes, goes, and comes back again" performance for me). FA Forest Fruit can be a bit on the...

    I'm not sure when you made the Shortbread; but I find it to be close to a real S&V. If you have three days on it, I would say throw some in a tank, and give it a vape!:D

    Help, my newly made liquid tastes burned or awful

    I'm glad you have begun to figure it out.:thumb: What caught my attention, was when you posted: I am wondering if the wire you have is not what it is labeled as. If it is indeed the same size (gauge), wrapped to the same inside diameter, using the same number of wraps, and made out of the...
