    DOOMSDAY Prepping For the Possible FDA Restriction

    Yeah, if it looks like they are gonna regulate, I will probably buy maybe 5 liters of 100 mg/mL Nicotine base. That should last a while. :-)

    DIY Techniques and Tips Part 1: The Art and Science of DIY

    DIY Techniques and Tips Part 1: The Art and Science of DIY DIY is a mixture of art and science. Art because flavor is subjective. And everyone tastes things differently. And how do we describe much less define flavor? I like Coke, you like Pepsi. Maybe you like Pepsi because to you...

    Not bad. They printed it on the Lucky Strike packs "Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco."

    Robert's 555 (Lucky) #13

    I also have the "whatever they taste like" thing going on. I guess most people do, lol. I never smoked anything that did not have a Camel on it if I paid for it. For every cig I bummed I gave away a 100, but of course smoking OPs, depending on how bad I needed one I would smoke anything...

    Robert's 555 (Lucky) #13

    So far everything I have bought has been from ECigExpress, of course they are just a middleman but I like them, the prices seem reasonable and I like that I can get small quantities from them (some of this stuff, yuck) and they deliver to me at least very quickly. And they tell you where the...

    Robert's 555 (Lucky) #13

    Thanks. I have tried so many tobacco flavors with so many failures, but this one is at least OK. If you don't have or don't feel like screwing around making up Ethyl Vanillin solutions, a drop of Bavarian Creme (TPA) is a little different but the final mix is really similar. I think the...

    Easy Cartomizer Cleaning

    I approach cleaning cartomizers more or less the way other people do with a few modifications. Mainly, I find cartomizers frequently do not work well, sometimes not at all, if they are boiled in water. Similarly I have had variable results with oven drying also, even using very low heat. The...

    Robert's State Expresso #11

    Sweet dense vapor that blends out quickly without lengthy aging and without any dryness, peculiar chemical, grassy, or flowery notes. A smooth but very satisfying initial kick, a brief vanilla interlude, and a distinct coffee finish, I dialed down the nic level to 15 on this one because I fiend...

    Post Your DIY Tobacco Recipies Here Please

    I have yet to make a really good "true" tobacco tasting mix from any of the flavorings I have tried, including Tobacco absolute. Most have that weird floral, perfumey, chemical taste that is overpowering. This is a mix, that I don't consider great, but it does not have any weird flavors and...

    ecigexpress diy help

    36 mg/mL Nic, you want to dilute to 30 mg/mL. 36/30 = 1.2, so you want to increase the total volume by 1.2. So you add 0.2 mL flavor (of any kind) per mL of nic juice. Or the whole works - 30 mL * 1.2 = 36 mL total volume. You can add 6 mL of flavoring. To check this - 36 mg/mL * 30 mL =...

    DIY Vanilla

    I just get crystal ethyl vanillin, it is easily mixed to a 10% solution in 50-50 VG/PG.

    Which caramel is best to mix with tobacco?

    I use straight up basic Caramel from FlavourArt. It balances well with tobacco flavors - adds body and smoothness without being to obvious caramel taste if you add it in small amounts -2 to 5 drops in a 5 mL mix.

    How do I mix ethyl maltol crystals with NO alcohol

    The specs give a solubility of 5.7 wgt% @ 20•C in PG and 0.2 wgt% @ 20•C in VG. That makes me leery of the apparant standard issue 10% PG solutions. A saturated or supersaturated solution may not be stable over time/temp and I always strive for reliably reproducible mixes. I use crystal EM...

    Pretty fed up with DIY

    I think it is a little unfortunate choice of terminology to say "steeping", because steeping is defined as a process that involves liquid extraction of flavors from a solid material. Now if someone is making their own tobacco extracts, or more commonly probably coffee extract, they may in fact...
