    Help with varying flavor, please

    I switch flavors, but usually between one or two other flavors. They're different enough that I get the effect. The problem I'm seeing happens during one tank and not over the course of a few tanks with the same flavor. It can come and go and come back all through one tank. I've tried an...

    Help with varying flavor, please

    You get my age, I find I'm lucky to hit the commode, much less a drip tip. I'd still like someone to try and explain. Would thicker juice help or hurt (I'm guessing that's what Hoosier is implying)? Higher percentage of flavor(or maybe he's implying this)?

    Diy cost breakdown!?

    I think I did some calculating once to see how much I saved if I bought 100 mg NIC instead of 24 mg NIC. Surprisingly, there was only a fraction of a penny difference per ml of mixed juice. Seems the cost of high mg NIC and using a smaller amount per juice is about equal to the lower cost of low...

    Help with varying flavor, please

    Sorry boomerdude, I guess I asked the question in such a confusing manner that nobody knows what I'm talking about. I do that a lot. I'm just glad someone understood what I was asking. I was afraid I was the only one messing that fine flavor up.

    Diy cost breakdown!?

    I've discovered that the cost per milliliter of DIY is inversely proportionate to the amount of certainty I have of which flavor I want to vape. In other words, when I first started considering DIY, I wasn't sure which flavor I wanted to end up vaping. They all sounded good and I tried a bunch...

    Help with varying flavor, please

    I use an ego-t setup to vape with. I mostly vape Double RY4. My usual mix is 8% DRY4 in a 75/25 PG/VG resultant mix. When it's good, you just can't beat the flavor of that DRY4, as many here can attest. But on occasion, the flavor seems to be lacking, even approaching what I'd call a burnt...

    MFS Red and Congress

    My wife likes MyFreedomSmokes Red and Congress premixed juices. I've almost got her switched from their RY4 to my Double RY4. Red is MFS' Marlboro flavored juice and Congress is their Parliament flavored juice. These juices are not ones that people try and imitate usually since they are so...

    Sweeteners?

    Hey Skoot, Unfortunately, the FDA is more than likely going to tell us what we can do in the near future. Maybe this will be a good thing as we might finally find out what these e-cigs are doing to us. Maybe it'll just be a way the government can pull in more money. Anyway, I just find it a...

    And you don't mind doing electronic cigarettes?

    Wizard Labs is still down!! Any other suggestions?

    I got my first order today, even though the web site indicated they were still processing that particular order. Hope the second order isn't too far behind.

    Wizard Labs is still down!! Any other suggestions?

    I've placed two small orders since they moved. I was not expecting anything to arrive quickly, so I'm not complaining about the delay in any way. Just making that clear. I'm only mixing what I like and there's no playing around with flavors of the future. I would like to see them post more...

    Noob wants to make RY4

    Of all the stuff I've bought or tried to mix myself, the Double RY4 is the only thing I can say I like really well. I mix it at 7-8% in a 75/25 PG/VG 12mg juice. Fresh or steeped, it seems great. The only problem is I don't have VV, and I sometimes get a taste that's not the greatest, but still...

    Mix suggestions from single flavor recommendations

    The math is not a problem. That's not what I was trying to ask. Let's assume Lemon is used in a single flavor mix at 10%. Lime is used in a single flavor mix at 10%. Now I want a lemon-lime mix. I don't want a total of 20% flavor (I'm guessing here that that would be bad, but maybe not). Is...

    Is RTS Vapes Normally this Bad?

    I don't know about their usual habits due to the fact that I've never ordered from them. But I'd say we're starting to see a perfect storm due to Wizard Labs' relocation and the inability to make available the amount of NIC they typically sell and now the extra demand that the FDA is causing. By...

    Mix suggestions from single flavor recommendations

    This is more what I was going after. I can figure the percentages of straight additions. I was wondering if by adding two flavors, I should reduce the single flavor percentages. See, I told you I make simple questions very confusing. Thanks for trying to help.

    Mix suggestions from single flavor recommendations

    Seems like every time I learn something in another thread, I come up with a new question to ask. Reading the recent TFA thread on recommended percentages of the TFA flavors for a single flavor juice, I started wondering about mixing two or more flavors together. I'm sure it's going to matter...

    My Boba's clone

    Based on the reviews on their web page, people are referring to Black and Mild even though the page is listing Black Cigar. A google search for Black and Mild takes you to the Black Cigar page as well.

    The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

    Are the recommended percentages supposed to represent what I should start with for a single flavor juice? I can't imagine using multiple flavors with some of the percentages, since I'd end up with a mostly-flavoring juice. Be nice - I'm still new at all this.

    The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

    Great thread. I thought I recognized what the lines were telling me until I saw the line listed for Blueberry Extra. I figured 5/5 was like meaning "rated 5 out of 5". What does the 6/5 mean?

    WL Nic options

    I thought about contacting them, but figured it might be the wrong time due to their relocation. Went ahead and did it anyway, and got a "busy" reply to my email. thanks, though.
