    What ratios/percentages of flavoring to cut do you guys use? N00b needs help.

    It would help to know what flavorings from what brands you're using, as well as your other ingredients and maybe the whole recipe.

    Dumb Newbie Mistake,Can I Fix It?

    My guide has information on it, but a lot of flavors that are insoluble in water are still soluble and work fine in PG/VG. The alcohol usually just helps them diffuse into the liquid and vaporize easily. If you put a drop of your flavor in about 9 drops of PG and shake it, then leave it for a...

    Need Expert Advice Please

    Well, pure nicotine is going to last pretty much forever, not even a bear can get near the fumes without dying. PG and VG have 2 year pharmaceutically required expirations, so yes it's going to shorten the shelf life. If you haven't read thoroughly and practiced DIY, do that before stocking up...

    fa new flavors

    The QHit is not very strong unless used at high percentages, but it does give the TH a real body unlike anything I've had before. As they state, it's much more effective at high voltages where your atty can get much hotter, or if you vape it a little dry. It's very similar to a cigarette but...

    Using Oil Flavorings with VG (Specifically, Peppermint Oil)

    Orange oil (Citrus sinensis) - information on the origin, source, extraction method, chemical composition, therapeutic properties and uses. - a-pinene, sabinene, myrcene, limonene, linalool, citronellal, neral and geranial. It is a safe non-toxic, non-irritant and non-sensitizing oil, yet care...

    Using Oil Flavorings with VG (Specifically, Peppermint Oil)

    Lipoid pneumonia happens when you inhale lipids which are not in essential oils. Orange oil can not give you lipoid pneumonia because it does not contain lipids. There are a few places like getsuckered.com (do NOT order) that carry literal oil based flavoring in soybean oil, and those types...

    Question regarding working with Flavour Art tobacco flavors

    The flavors are already in a PG base so if you dilute to 10% in PG and shake thoroughly it should not take more than a few minutes to disperse well enough to not be able to tell the difference. You shouldn't be mixing with the 1% solution, as that would make it far less than 1%. Even though...

    Using Oil Flavorings with VG (Specifically, Peppermint Oil)

    They are not actual oils like soybean oil, which would be dangerous to inhale, but certain chemicals that are confusingly called essential 'oils' in the flavoring world (such as benzaldehyde is the main ingredient in almond oil, or eugenol is clove oil). Peppermint Oil can contain Menthyl...

    Bitter fruit mixes with PA

    It's not you, it's just those flavors. Not all flavorings by any one company are created equal, some are better than others and more appropriate for certain tastes. Although I haven't yet tried the Watermelon or Strawberry, some of PA's fruit flavors have that artificial/chemical taste. The...

    Deionized Water - Safety Advice Please

    Deionization does not significantly remove uncharged organic molecules, viruses or bacteria (from wikipedia). It does remove minerals, but it's purpose is to remove the electrical charge from the water for those industrial purposes.

    Dumb Newbie Mistake,Can I Fix It?

    The higher the proof the better since there's less water and more ethanol, but usually 80 proof and higher won't have any problematic ingredients (like sugar). Everclear is 190 proof which is what we refer to as PGA and it should be available in Mississippi.

    Dumb Newbie Mistake,Can I Fix It?

    Usually insoluble flavors are very strong, and you won't need more than 5%. Depending on how high proof your alcohol is, you will need less the higher the percent that's all actually ethanol. The exact amount needed is unknown but a 1:1 dilution seems to work. So start with mixing an ml or so...

    $150 to blow on a nice PV. Help me decide!

    I second the idea of a variable voltage mod if you want to explore options but have limited funds. Other variable voltage mods that I know of currently are the Little Sister and Precious. This thread is always fun to look at too...

    Harmful ingredients other than nicotine?

    Artificial flavorings are made by testing natural flavors and recreating them with the same chemicals, just manufactured instead of extracted from the fruit/plant. They are basically identical in the end, but artificial flavors generally are cheaper and less complex. Most, if not all flavoring...

    Harmful ingredients other than nicotine?

    There will always be a few people who have reactions to something in the liquid, such is the body's chemistry. There are people who react to vaping plain VG or PG, and probably even PEG. To be approved for ingestion by the FDA includes any sort of absorption, as long as it is in safe levels...

    i need an e-juice "pharmasist/dr"

    Those are all symptoms of nicotine overdose and generally not the reactions related to PG or VG. I'm no wannabe doctor, but since nobody has responded I figured I'd warn that you reduce the mg of your liquid (particularly the liquid you chain vape in the morning), or vape less. Since you chain...

    Welcome! Introduce yourself here...

    Hey Darkwitless, I hope you make it to the Highland Games meeting. Feel free to bring your kids, I'm 23 and sometimes bring my 15 year old brother, and MacArthurBug has kids ages 14 and 6 (I think). Jynn is 26 but she looks and sometimes acts like she's 18, so it's all good. :P Having fun...

    Low Resistance, High Voltage and Acrolein - a vaper's experience

    This makes me wonder about the pressure's relevance to the vaporization temperature of VG. Since you're drawing on the atomizer, the temperature required to boil the VG into vapor is much lower (see vapor pressure). I'm no chemist, but I don't think this affects the decomposition temperature...

    Haha, cozzicon. Just make sure not to take his review of Duanne and Tom's Bob Evans video seriously. :)
