    Lorain super concentrated flavor

    I usually buy Lorann's Butter Rum from Wizard Labs, but find they are out of stock for this flavor quite often, so today I ordered directly from Lorann. It was described as super concentrated and was a little expensive. I was wondering if anyone knows whether this is stronger than what WL sells...

    ACV & LJ (together?)

    I haven't tried apple cider vinegar or lemon juice in any of my mixtures. On rare instances, I mix a fruit with a tobacco. Is there a forbidden rule that says I should not use both ACV for the tobacco and LJ to enhance the flavors in such a mixture? I usually add a drop of Vape Wizard to all of...

    Question about rebuilding with SS mesh

    I just reviewed a tutorial about rebuilding an EVOD using stainless steel mesh as the wick. It suggested checking the finished wicking/coiling for shorts. Why doesn't the SS mesh act as a short across the coil it is touching? Is SS an insulator? Why doesn't the resistance change due to the mesh...

    VV/VW question about flavor

    I'm new to VV/VW batteries. I'm noticing that since I received my iTaste V3, my flavors seem to be muted. I use a Kanger EVOD with ohms being indicated between 2.0 and 2.4 on my iTaste. I have tried 7.0 - 9.0 watts. I mix my juice 50/50. The flavors that worked on my Ego battery and the same...

    Abreviations - what do they mean?

    I'm just moving towards trying these extractions, and I'm seeing quite a few abbreviations for terms I'm sure I might be guessing incorrectly what they stand for. A few of them are fairly obvious, but can this become a thread for what they mean, please? Examples that quick come to mind: NET -...

    Capella's prices

    I just decided to try some of Capella's flavorings. At this point in time, it appears there's a 50% sale going on. Is their normal price $5.95 or $2.98? If this is a sale, anyone know when the sale ends?

    Questions regarding EVOD rebuild

    I've had a good amount of luck rebuilding my EVOD heads. I run into a problem or two, though, and maybe some of you can make suggestions. For the most part, my rebuilds produce huge amounts of vapor, so I'm mostly satisfied with my work I wrap the .032 wire around my wick. I've tried the #4...

    Kanger EVOD questions

    I really like the EVODs. That being said, I've got a couple of questions about them. How do you clean the main unit? I know how to clean and rewick the heads. I'm talking about the tank and mouth piece. Occasionally, I see pieces of "stuff" in the mouth piece. I can usually clean that out...

    measuring resistance?

    I'd like to know if there's a "preferred" way to measure the resistance on a coil. Should I measure the resistance of just the wire? Before it's on the wick or after? Before I mount the wick/coil in the head or after? I would imagine most of the hardware around the coil would not add much...

    Wick cleanser

    I use an 8% Double RY4 for my daily vape. Over the course of about 3-4 weeks, my wicks become midely clogged, and I soak them in warm water over night and dry them for reuse. I thought I read where I could just use PG, VG or a combination, without any additives or flavors, to vape through the...

    Mobile calculator - is there a great one out there?

    I use the juice me up calculator on my laptop. It's such a pain to boot that up every time I want to play with a mixture. Is there anything close to that calculator for an Android smartphone?

    Why don't flavors steep in their concentrated form?

    I use Double RY4 as my all day vape. It tends to get better as it sits in my squirt bottle, which every one calls steeping. The mixture is made of NIC, PG, VG and the DRY4 flavoring. I guess I don't understand steeping and what all goes on, but my question is: Why doesn't the concentrated...

    Consequences of a different EVOD coil

    I just got and tried my Kanger EVOD. What an amazing device. The unit I received came with the 2.5 ohm coil, but I ordered a 1.8 ohm coil because it was recommended to me that the lower resistance would be better for my eGo battery (3.3V). One thing I noticed is that the juice I mix is now a...

    Sort of new to clearo. Suggestions please

    I've been following a thread over on the DIY Juice forum that I started about how my eGo-T seems to have mysterious flavor properties. The flavor comes and goes, even on the same tank of juice. Some suggested the Kanger T3 or a Nova to help with the problem. I've used one of MFS' brand of...

    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...

    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...

    WL bulk flavors

    Since I'm logged in, thought I'd ask all of my questions this morning. I've seen a few posts on bulk flavorings, but using the search feature here returns so much stuff, it's really a guessing game as to what's pertinent currently. I really like Double RY4 and considered buying a large amount...

    WL Nic options

    I've seen mention of options like Ice and (I think) Premium for Wizards Lab NIC here in the forums. I don't see anywhere that explains those options or where to specify them on the WL website. Any one care to expound? BTW, I saw this question in a very recent thread, and always wanted to ask it...

    WL Disposable pipettes and VG

    I'm getting ready to order some higher strength NIC. To achieve my desired PG/VG ratio, I'll have to start adding VG to my mixes, which I didn't have to do previously. To clarify, using 24mg 50/50 NIC to make 12mg 75/25 mixtures only required adding additional PG with no VG. Due to the upcoming...
