    Keeping e juice bottle opes?

    You mean bottles like this one? https://www.amazon.com/Vktech-10ml-Dropper-Bottles-Plastic/dp/B00D2MPVUM I would not hesitate to leave this bottle open for up to one month. (Tried it, did not see big changes). It looks like sun is much bigger enemy of juice then tiny hole on the top of a bottle.

    Marry flavors with tanks?

    The only flavor married with tank is menthol. Everything else depends on my mood.

    #GreatAmericanSmokeout

    Isn't this event initiated by anti-vaping American Cancer Society? Until ENDS are scientifically proven to be safe and effective, ACS will support the regulation of ENDS and laws that treat them like all other tobacco products. Is Any Type of Smoking Safe?

    I already bought a bunch of SS all kinds of gauges

    Never used anything but SS 316L in TC mode, but I prefer 30 gauge (for 1.2-1.3 ohm coils). Works fine with Pico and eVic VTwo Mini). Bonus of SS: I can always switch to WW mode.

    New To DIY E-Juice-Help

    10 ml of 36 mg nicotine, 10 ml of PG, 10 ml of VG. And yes, DIY forum is good, and you can get a link to e-juice calculator (I do not use it, so do not have links).

    Nicotine level questions

    It is not really important how much nicotine is in your juice. It is more interesting how much nicotine you consume per day. For example, if you vape 3 ml of 18 mg juice per day, you consume 54 mg of nicotine daily (bot you body absorbs may be just half of it). For comparison: smoker on average...

    Synthetic or Non tobacco nicotine now available, thoughts, theories?

    I would not pay this high price unless it is the only nicotine left on market. EDIT: And I have no idea what chemicals are used for synthesizing nicotine, how difficult purification is compared to tobacco nicotine (which one is easier to purify?)

    Your post is a perfect example of opposite advises, which could not be taken at face value.

    No caramelization for you juice. The week could be a bit scorched, that's all. Not harmful. Enjoy your vape. For most people (me included) silica is a worse choice, cotton works better.

    Juice goes dark

    difference between wattage and temp vaping.

    I was trying to like SS coils, so I used SS in one of my tanks for a while (in wattage mode). Once my wicking was not really good - when I was chain vaping at 10 W, after a few draws (each for 10 seconds) I was getting a mild dry hit. I switched to TT mode and problem was solved. Bonus: I do not...

    Sometimes I rewick early, after just 1 week of vaping (if tank developed leak). Then it about 50/50, lily white wick or a bit brownish (under coil) wick. I vape slightly (1%) flavored juice, no sweeteners, at 9-12 W.
