    Why sweeteners

    I avoided anything sweet because the sweeteners tend to gunk up coils faster. Another way to preserve coils is to use the minimum amount of flavoring (I'm accustomed to 1% meaning a 4 oz bottle lasts me 5 years.) Don't develop a taste for the sweet stuff so you won't miss it.

    Silly Stuff People Tell Me About Vaping

    People who talk the stupid stuff have no skin in the game. They're just making conversation. Next time it happens take a puff then grab your chest and start staggering around the room.

    White House abruptly cancels meeting with vaping advocates

    Business managers will do, must do, what's in the best interests of the owners, what ever that is. I believe the JUUL breakthrough is the form factor, not the flavors. To make it deliver enough nic per puff and still have decent battery life, they needed a high nic percent. I'm presuming the...

    Will Batteries Be Next?

    There are an infinite number of things that might happen. How about don't be a scare monger.

    Will Batteries Be Next?

    You might as well ask, will cotton be next? A stockpile needs mods, rebuildable atomizers, and nic. That's all.

    September 20, 2019, FDA issues proposed rule for premarket tobacco product applications

    I presume this is what Trump promised would be coming soon: September 20, 2019 FDA issues proposed rule for premarket tobacco product applications as part of commitment to continuing strong oversight of e-cigarettes and other tobacco products

    NO ONE MENTIONS THIS ~ Plz Read

    Trump likes to call it fake news, which apparently, finally, sucked him in. I call it fake journalism. Things have changed since 2016. There are enough vapers in the swing states to turn a presidential election. If Trump doesn't figure out how to backpedal out of this issue he's a one term...

    Characterizing flavorings used in tobacco cigarettes not including Menthol

    Just about everybody every where criticizes China for rule BY law instead of rule OF law. The state level emergency orders are no different than how China does business. If there is a vape emergency then there is a meat emergency and a refined food emergency and a traffic accident...

    Characterizing flavorings used in tobacco cigarettes not including Menthol

    The taste is in the smoke, not the leaf. Nothing tastes remotely like tobacco smoke except tobacco smoke. "Tobacco flavored" is false advertising. The requirement to close on 2 weeks notice is vengefull, sadistic. It's the way the German Gestapo did things. They are ...... off that...

    The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

    I started DIY about 6 months in and got lucky. I ordered ingredients plus one flavor that sounded promising and for the first batch used a very minimal amount of flavoring (you can always add more). What that lead to was a pattern where I use only enough flavoring to cover the taste of the...

    The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

    I'd say I'm ready but not necessarily done. Early on with vaping I figured out that government hated vaping because of the money and would try to get rid of it so I'd better stock up. Making a rational stash became part of the hobby, may be the focus. I planned for a 10/20 year time frame...

    Michigan first state to ban flavored ecigs

    On the bright side the message is very long, too long. She's on the defensive. The vape business boomed in sales because we had all that money to spend we used to spend on cigarettes. If we can't vape we have all that time (and money) we used to spend on vaping to make the polliticians miserable.

    Characterizing flavorings used in tobacco cigarettes not including Menthol

    Everybody everywhere in the world is watching this flavor circus and knows it's really about money. We Americans are not distinguishing ourselves lately.

    What's your age & what are you vaping right now ?

    70yr, DIY 50/50, 12mg, 1% cupacino by capella. It was the first flavor I bought 4 1/2 years ago, started at 3% and lowered to 1% because it was enough to cover the taste of the other ingredients. It's the only flavor I vape, same for a younger brother I mix for. I focus on perfecting texture...

    Michigan Gov Whitmer releases vaping ban rules...

    One of my relapses back to cigarettes, before vaping, happened after 10 YEARS! What makes ecigs a game changer is they protect against relapse. Many vapers could tell you that vaping is an entirely superior experience. I could smoke a cigarette right now (or at least try to) and the risk of...

    Michigan Gov Whitmer releases vaping ban rules...

    I've annoyed more than a few coworkers and acquaintences urging them to at least put some nic in the freezer. My success--zero. I bet at this moment most of the vapers in my state of Michigan are not aware of the governors action and for the rest it hasn't sunk in. I expect things too change...

    Nic storage in original bottle

    When I buy a liter of nic from MFS I include a 1 liter amber glass bottle if it's going to long term storage. The glass bottle is labeled with vendor, nic strength, the word nicotine and the invoice date. The bottle goes into a zip lock bag, wrapped in bubble wrap, then into another zip lock...

    Michigan Gov Whitmer releases vaping ban rules...

    May be a judge will halt this process. In the mean time I'm not seeing evidence of interference with online purchases. If the concern is to preserve your own ability to vape into the future it's prudent to put some nic in the freezer. That has been true for 10 years.

    Michigan Gov Whitmer releases vaping ban rules...

    May be it will turn out they're really only making an issue of the kids. Time will tell. But why worry? Put some nic in the freezer and a few extra mods and atomizers in the vape drawer and relax.
