    Lots of improvements in vaping - vape shops still annoying!

    I recently started vaping again after a few years back on real cigs. At the time I stopped vaping, the Kayfun was pretty new, the DNA 40 (I think) was coming out, to get good subohm performance you involved a mech mod, etc. Now I can get a regulated device that fires a sub-ohm tank for $50...

    Wow - I'm like a genuis! DIY 510 extender for Microstick

    So - I got my Microstick and I love it. The question is, though, what to use in it? I only have a few things that fit. I have a Phoenix Bully . .but it's got a threaded top cap that tends to come undone when I'm trying to remove the atty from the microstick. It also is not that great of an...

    What? Chentinel broken!

    I always knew my fasttech sourced brass Sentinel clone was not invincible. I always imagined the 510 connectors would be the issue - either getting stripped or warped or something. I accidently dropped my sentinel off a 3 foot high table onto a wood floor and this is what happened! Sorry for...

    SO I did something dumb and now have a question

    Sorry for the attention grabbing title, ha. Although I certainly know better I forgot to lock my mod before putting it in my pocket. I sat down on the sofa - pushing the button in - and suddenly felt it getting hot. When I pulled it out of my pocket it was really hot and juice was boiling in...

    Something wrong with my Kanthal?

    A while back I ordered some 28 gage nichrome and 30 gage kanthal from that ebay place (can't remember the name - but a lot of people get thier wire from them). I've been using the 28 gage and it seems fine. Today I tried making a microcoil with the 30 gage and the ohms are coming out way too...

    The Kick 2 is awesome!

    I've read a few reviews of the Evolv Kick 2 but none have mentioned the battery life - which is phenominal. The Kick 2 will stop firing when your battery reaches 2.7 volts .. a big improvement over the original Kick that gives you a ridiculous amount of vape-time. I am running it with an AW...

    Ego twist voltage too high

    I have been using ego twists for about 7-8 months and decided to get a new one recently. I bought it from vapingme.com - a vendor I've used a lot in the past. It looks like a real twist and I'm fairly certain it's not a knock off. Anyway, the voltage on this twist is crazy high. I have no way to...

    Strong smell = embarrassment

    Not what you're probably thinking, lol. I had to go to a customer site today for all day meetings. Of course I brought my ego twist with a mini nova full of my latest juice - a DIY blueberry/raspberry - so I could sneak some hits in the bathroom during the day. I had vaped this juice before, so...

    MFS users - any recipes to share?

    I've got some MFS nic that I want to use to make some juice for a buddy. Since each nic base is a little different - I thought I'd ask for some advice from people who use MFS all the time. I'd rather not do a tobacco flavor. Thanks in advance!

    It finally happened to me - steeping!

    So . .I have read many many times that if you make a horrible juice, let it sit for a while and it might get better. Well, it finally happened to me. I made a juice that was gross . .and I mean *gross*. It is a blueberry lemonade using TFA blueberry extra (6%), LA Lemonade (3%) and TFA...

    Not sure what to call it

    I finally made my first *great* e juice. I love this stuff. I have no idea what to call it because it does not taste like the ingredients. 3% LA Keoke Coffee 3% LA Creme de menthe 4% TFA Vanilla swirl plus 1 drop sucralose per every 2ml finished juice (ie . .so 5 drops in a 10ml batch) plus...

    Getting ideas for e juices?

    https://www.foodpairing.com/en/explore/foodpairing-explorer-demo/ This is a pretty cool website for getting e-juice ideas. Not all ingredients are available in the demo version - but I've gotten a few good ideas for flavor combos. I also ordered a book called The Flavor Bible - I figured...

    help with bottles that drip too slow

    I've purchased bottles for my diy from 2 different places with the same result - you have to squeeze the bottle *really* hard to get any juice to drip out. Filling a mini nova is a real chore. All of the juices I've purchased come in bottles that drip fine. What am I missing? I've been...

    Raspberry NutriGrain Bar

    Pretty new to DIY - been at it a few weeks now. I decided that my best strategy is to come up with 3 recipes that are good now and then work on them over time. I decided to do a fruit vape, a bakery vape and a mint vape. Here is my bakery vape - v1.0. I like it quite a bit, I named it after...

    Mixing technique for base liquid

    Hello - newbie DIY'r. I recently got in some 100mg all VG nic and I want to mix up some 18mg base liquid to add flavoring to later. I have read some about "hotspots" but haven't been able to find a ton about it. How do you mix your base liquids, especially all VG, to make sure it's evenly...

    Best device to convert a smoker to e-cigs?

    I am visiting my in-laws for x-mas and I brought along a spare ego + mini nova for them to try since they are life-long smokers. My Mother-In-Law was the only one who expressed any interest so I lent her the spare . . but I can see already it's too intimidating for her even though I gave a...

    First DIY e liquid!

    I've only been vaping for a little over 3 weeks but I've never been one to do something halfway so I knew I'd need to be making my own juices. I ordered the nic and some flavorings from MyFreedomSmokes but it took me a little longer to get my lazy self down to Walmart to get some VG and a...
