    Trouble with vapor production and LorAnn...

    LorAnn's flavors are PG-based, and sometimes need pretty high amounts (like the Mint Choc Chip and the Cheesecake). This means that if you use say, 25% flavoring, your 90/10 base becomes 92.5/7.5. Going up to 20% VG you have an end ratio of 85/15, which shouldn't affect flavor much more than...

    Allowing for a blunt tip needle?

    What you can do in that situation (small syringe/large needle) is go from gradation to gradation - go from 1ml to .1ml to get get exactly 0.9ml etc.

    Liquid Stevia

    A lot powdered forms of Stevia have other ingredients that are no good, so as GoodDog said be sure to investigate. Stevia is 250x as sweet as sugar by weight. Sucralose is 600x as sweet as sugar by weight.

    Just Starting, where to get syringes?

    I find I need larger than 18g, usually at least 16g, and don't forget smaller gauge number = wider needle aperture.

    Flavor Loss - Oxidation or Plastics Chemicals?

    What Kurt was talking about are plasticizers, not the actual plastic. PET, LDPE, and HDPE bottles don't have the same plasticizers (the phthalates or BPA that were in the media scare), although it would be nice to have a chemist clarify.

    Looking for a sweet smooth mocha

    Be careful with the Vape Wizard, add 1/4 of a drop at a time at most to that bitter mixture. It's very powerful stuff. I think you'll like the Cap, good luck!

    Flavor Loss - Oxidation or Plastics Chemicals?

    I don't think that's true. I've had plastic bottles of liquid unaffected for months. A lot of high quality flavoring companies sell their volatile flavoring chemicals in a PG base in plastic bottles. Nicotine liquid often comes in plastic bottles as well. None of the ingredients should 'eat'...

    DIY Recipes

    Usually alcohol 80 proof and higher don't have sugar. They reduce the viscosity of the liquid a lot, though, so it's more prone to leaking.

    Help with "pie" flavoring

    Real pie crust is just butter and flour, so maybe Butter and Graham Cracker flavorings? FA Bread Crust is more like garlic bread.

    Looking for a sweet smooth mocha

    Ethyl Maltol (or PA's Cotton Candy) helps somewhat with reducing harshness. If you can get FlavourArt, their Cappuccino is not bitter and has some cream in it already. Magic Mask and Vape Wizard can help with bitterness as well.

    First Time DIY order: please help!

    You don't really need PGA a la Everclear, it's just the purest form. Any alcohol that is 80 proof or higher usually works fine as long as it doesn't have sugar. About the nicotine not being enough, it depends on what you vape. You have 30 x 60mg = 1800mg of nicotine from the first post. If...

    PA Mango Feedback?

    I was debating it, but glad I didn't go for it then. The FA Mango is a very spot on, realistic Mango fruit flavor, but if PA is equivalent it's cheaper to go to PA. And I've had them fresh off the tree!

    DIY Liquid questions..

    First thing you need to do is read all the stickies in the DIY subforum. 1. I have 48mg PG Nicotine base.. if i mix 40% PG Nicotine, dilute with 50% VG and add 10% flavor, does this make what some websites call a 50/50 PG/VG mix? - Not really, as far as I know commercial sites give their base...

    Chrome plated "Buzz " ??

    I don't know what most of these terms mean, I'm more of a software guy than hardware. So, do you have any pictures of what it would look like? Not the Buzz itself of course, but these types of coatings.

    DO NOT Use Stamps.Com

    I only used the USPS site I linked to (the My Address Book link is in the bottom right of that page) and the USPS Shipping Assistant. I'll attach a template that worked for me (it's the format it was in after exporting from the USPS site). Rename it to .csv or use right click -> Open With...

    DO NOT Use Stamps.Com

    It appeared fine for me and hitting Next Sample I saw 18 working addresses in my test. However, when I imported it said Error: "Please enter a mailing address" for all 18 of them. :(
