    Am I doing something wrong?

    If you're drinking lots of water you can scratch that off the list. Things go haywire when you get dehydrated. I hope it's that simple. Check the health thread. Maybe a vaper with like symptoms found a solution. Gosh, hope you're better soon.

    Already looking to upgrade

    If you got your kit at Hoosier you might want to add a couple of 510 drip tips for your cartomizers and send them a note to add to your order to avoid extra ship costs. The drip tip name is a misnomer. Don't really drip through them, they'll make topping off your carto easier, you can test...

    Does anyone else still crack the window in the car out of habit?

    As a vaper I'm not anxious to get to the destination so I can smoke (didn't smoke in the car). Yep, window cracked for vape escape.

    If the blu is 510 threaded you can use your blu cartomizers on a KGO. Cartomizers and Atomizers: The lower the ohm number, the warmer the vape. 1.5 to 1.8 for tobaccos and non-sweet juices work great for me and 2.0 ohm for sweets and bakery flavored juices. Great choice on the KGO. It can...

    new...frustration and desperation

    After buying mod after expensive mod North of $100 each I was shocked at the performance of a kit under $50. You mentioned that vapor isn't like smoke. It can be if you have the right equipment. I certainly agree with you that the harshness in pre-filled cartomizers isn't like a cigarette...

    Just getting started

    I started with a mall kit like your Greensmoke. I did need something better within a couple of weeks but that mall kit gets the credit for me being smoke and tobacco free nearly 8 months. We get a little snobbish (myself included) knowing there are better kits and are anxious to help you avoid...

    How do I make bad juice taste better?

    The pepper hit you're getting is probably the nic base. The company you purchased from could have wonderful flavors but the nic base they're using might be wrecking them. I'm fairly new at DIY (started DIYing in August). The recipes that tasted great at 0mg would be horribly peppery and...

    New Quitter, new Vaper, and a Major Concern

    Listen to your body. It'll tell you if you get too much nic. Drink LOTs of water. That vapor coming out of your mouth is your water supply going up in... vapor. The water can't be overstate. It's the only thing I'm aware of that could be potentially dangerous. The cure is a glass or two of...

    Blue mist juices vapemail day

    VapnJ what flavors did you order? My BlueMist flavors weren't yummy. I want to try again. To get 15 out of 15 winners is unheard of. Please share your favorites :tongue:

    cleaning an atty and drying time...what's the reason to wait?

    It might be a soggy hit if it's damp but attys love to be wet with juice. I don't get it from a chemistry level. I just know that I rinse my attys out at night in hot water, blow them out well and they're ready to vape in the morning. If I try to vape an atty I just rinsed it tastes soggy no...

    Refreshing the Palette

    For cleansing my palate I followed directions from this forum. I eat a cracker or something salty. I like a handful of SmartFood followed by cold water. Since beginning DIY juice I'm rotating about 10 attys a day to test juices. I rinse them in the evening in hot water, blow them out and...

    Assistance before ordering more nic

    I experienced too much of a pepper finish on delicate flavors with Box Elder's 100mg PG nic base. On ScubaDan's suggestion I ordered 100mg VG nic from XtremeVaping. Gosh, what a difference. Remarkable! Same recipe. New nic base. Amazing, delicious vape :) I want to order more of this nic. It...

    I Cleaned the Atty and Now it Taste Like Crap

    Glad to hear you're rinsing it after soaking in ISO alc. Rubbing alcohol is poisonous to ingest. Cheap vodka or PGA is a better choice. I use that if I have skunk juice in my atty for odor/taste removal. Otherwise, just rinse the atty in hot water before bed, blow out the water, repeat and it'll...

    Mixing E-Liquid with Glycerin

    Hi Riay. Welcome :) Is your juice too strong and you need to dilute it? If you can share how much juice you want to dillute, the current nic strength in mg and your target mg strength I can help with how much VG to add. You'll lose some flavor. You could also buy the same flavor again at a lower...

    The arrival

    Hope you're vaping happy:) PS. Order a box or two of cartomizers. When your tanks act finicky just twist on a carto and vape. I'd suggest 2 ohm or 3 ohm cartomizers. The lower the number the warmer the vape. No lower than 2 with your equipment to be safe. Good luck.

    The arrival

    Are you taking long, slow pulls? You'll get a better experience the slower you pull into your mouth then exhale through your mouth and nose. Juice in your mouth is no fun. Hang in there and check this thread often for a bit. eGo-T users will chime in...
