    My Boba's clone

    Great idea. I guess I'll go explore the methodology of extraction. Not what I was hoping to hear, though, as I'm sure this is going to take some more time and money. But it's a start. I'm hoping someone will answer subver's questions also, since we're all trying to avoid the nasty stuff. And...

    My Boba's clone

    Again, I'm posting to state my position here on this particular flavoring. I realize this is a BB clone thread, so it may be a little off track. Maybe I should start a new thread labeled "Black and Mile recipe" or something because this thread is way too long already and there's not a lot of new...

    Capella's prices

    I just decided to try some of Capella's flavorings. At this point in time, it appears there's a 50% sale going on. Is their normal price $5.95 or $2.98? If this is a sale, anyone know when the sale ends?

    Mix turns harsh after steeping?

    I would firstly recommend you not use drops for anything other than when you just need a drop or two and only when you're adding to larger batches. Say like 10ml or larger. Bavarian Cream is a nasty flavor. Although it sounds great, I've never been able to use more than 1 or 2 percent in...

    My Boba's clone

    That's why I wish someone could come up with a suitable substitution for that Black and Mile using a TFA blend. Firstly, B&M is a little high priced for my tastes. And the multiple accounts means multiple shipping charges as bogeyjim stated. By the time I get all the "preferred" flavors...

    anyone crack the code on a really good 555

    I just posted a reply in the Boba's clone thread asking something similar to what Rin13 stated here. I would like to make a 555 just to try it. I've never had it before, but would like a description if anyone would offer their taste impressions. I'll probably start with TFA's 555. Not to get...

    My Boba's clone

    I've not tried the real thing, so it may not matter that what I'm about to do is not an attempt to match BB. Here's what I'd like recommendations for to start a test for the #7 recipe so popular here. All of my current flavors are TFA: I don't have that B&M or Black Cigar, and I probably...

    Help with my EVOD

    Hopefully, you've read all of the posts about making sure your head is tightly screwed in. You should check this at least once every other refill. Another thing I've read is that these devices is that they don't do well with "thin", high percentage PG liquids. My EVOD does OK with a 60/40 liquid.

    Questions regarding EVOD rebuild

    I'm curious as to what is meant by "strands" of wick that I see in many threads. I use the silica wick. I'm guessing that's a non-burning casing around what is inside that casing, but it could mean the entire wick. When people mention strands of wick, are they talking about what's inside or the...

    Questions regarding EVOD rebuild

    I've had a good amount of luck rebuilding my EVOD heads. I run into a problem or two, though, and maybe some of you can make suggestions. For the most part, my rebuilds produce huge amounts of vapor, so I'm mostly satisfied with my work I wrap the .032 wire around my wick. I've tried the #4...

    Kanger EVOD questions

    I really like the EVODs. That being said, I've got a couple of questions about them. How do you clean the main unit? I know how to clean and rewick the heads. I'm talking about the tank and mouth piece. Occasionally, I see pieces of "stuff" in the mouth piece. I can usually clean that out...

    Something is just NOT happening......

    I'm a DRY4 advocate, so I typically pipe in when I see that mentioned and feel I have something to contribute. I use an 8% juice made of DRY4, single flavor. I can use it right out of the mixing bottle or let it steep for up to 4 weeks (it never lasts longer than that). It's a little like...

    Vanishing flavor?

    TFA Double RY4 seems to have that vanishing characteristic for me as well. I very seldom switch flavors. DRY4 will taste caramelic for me some days, and others will give me some other mild flavor, but never vanilla. Regardless of which hint of flavor I get, I like what I'm tasting. But then...

    eVod - Probably the best clearomizer in the world

    I got that dry hit this morning on the way to work. It was still dark outside and I didn't feel like pulling off the road to check the tank to see if it was empty or not. I wasn't getting burned tastes, so I wasn't sure what was going on, so I quit using it until I could verify what might be...

    Can DIY match the quality of "pro" juice?

    One of the things I now realize is that most of us probably started by vaping a "pro" juice. If we liked that juice, we continued vaping. If we didn't like that, we either searched for a different flavor or stopped vaping. So at that point, we had set a target to shoot for when we decided to...

    measuring resistance?

    I'd like to know if there's a "preferred" way to measure the resistance on a coil. Should I measure the resistance of just the wire? Before it's on the wick or after? Before I mount the wick/coil in the head or after? I would imagine most of the hardware around the coil would not add much...

    Kanger EVOD

    I've had mixed results using different EVOD heads. My first attempt at one of these was a 1.8 ohm that I purchased along with the 2.5 ohm EVOD. Before using the EVOD, I swapped the head for the lower resistance one. It worked great. I finally had to clean the head, and found the next 1.8 ohm...

    Wick cleanser

    I use an 8% Double RY4 for my daily vape. Over the course of about 3-4 weeks, my wicks become midely clogged, and I soak them in warm water over night and dry them for reuse. I thought I read where I could just use PG, VG or a combination, without any additives or flavors, to vape through the...

    Mobile calculator - is there a great one out there?

    I use the juice me up calculator on my laptop. It's such a pain to boot that up every time I want to play with a mixture. Is there anything close to that calculator for an Android smartphone?
