    Newb Questions about Mods and Battery Size

    Hi All, So I have done my fair share of recoiling, but I am new to mechanical mods (looking for my own permanent solution with no electronics as I am apocalyptic about the FDA's "Final Solution"). So here is what I started with (I'm sure I'll evolve it several times before I'm satisfied). Ohm...

    The Mythology of Steeping Part II

    The primary thing to understand about aging liquids is ideas of physical changes which have been described, which I will describe as "partitioning effects" - partitioning between solids, partitioning between PG and VG - do not occur. In reality all changes which you observe in taste of a liquid...

    The Mythology of Steeping Part I

    Now that I have your attention, lol, in searching for something else on the Web I encountered the same thing over and over again, and then again on various people's blogs. What I had always thought was simply very poor use of terminology seems to be based on several widely expoused "theories"...

    Robert's US Standard Turkish Domestic Blend 188

    Robert's Standard Turkish Domestic Blend 188 Long time no post. Lost my job, lost my house, lost my girl, did not have a dog, living in a fleabag hotel. Wanted to post something suitably lackluster. ;-) Actually this is a pretty decent variant of a standard US Turkish Domestic Blend...

    VaporKings Rock!!!

    I have always ordered hardware from these guys: Tulsa Electronic Cigarettes | Batteries, atomizers, cartomizers, e-Liquid and more! Recently switched to a new battery type and placed a different order, but also ordered a charger for my old battery type. A service rep tried to phone me and...

    DIY Juice Color vs Vendor Juice Color Over Time

    OK so now I am curious about OP's experiences. 1) My juices invariably darken, presumably basic oxidation, over time, although in many cases the flavor improves, not always, so I don't absolutely agree with the seeming rule of thumb that "tobaccos must be steeped". (Incidentally, it is...

    Koolada - Are you kidding???!!!

    So just for ....s and giggles I added this to my last ECX order because all the reviews on ECX says it added something but not menthol flavor. I was skeptical because it supposed to be menthol lactate ... Before wasting the effort on a DIY I dabbed just a bit. way less than a drop on my finger...

    Robert's Baisha Blend #4

    Robert's Baisha Blend #4 A little smoother and more complex than Basiha #3, this one is a little less hard but still definitely for tobacco fans. I like em both a lot. 1.4 mL 50-50 PG/VG Base 0.6 mL 100 mg Nicotine in 50-50 PG/VG Base 6 Drops Baisha Tobacco Flavor (Tobacco Express) 2 Drops...

    Robert's Baisha "Kick" #3

    Robert's Baisha "Kick" #3 More absurdly complicated recipes based on TobEx Chinese mystery flavors. This one has sort of a hard kick that some might not like, but as a former Camel short smoker I dig it. 1.3 mL 50-50 PG/VG Base 0.6 mL 100 mg Nicotine in 50-50 PG/VG Base 8 Drops Baisha Tobacco...

    Robert's Hongtashan #4A

    Robert's Hongtashan #4A Been absent for a while, figured it was about time I sat down and put out a recipe. This is a nice medium body smooth tobacco with no weird flavors and a nice definite kick on the finish. Vapeable immediately does not need lengthy aging, but you will want to have aged...

    Masking pepperflavor in Tobacco Flavors

    Seems like this would have certainly come up, but I searched and found nothing really relevant. Does anyone know any additional flavorings or "tricks" that will at least diminish the very distinct pepper flavor that many of the tobacco flavors have? I have tried caramel, EM, vanillin, various...

    Robert's State Expresso #11

    Sweet dense vapor that blends out quickly without lengthy aging and without any dryness, peculiar chemical, grassy, or flowery notes. A smooth but very satisfying initial kick, a brief vanilla interlude, and a distinct coffee finish, I dialed down the nic level to 15 on this one because I fiend...

    Robert's Dunhill #3

    OK, I should first warn you that I have never had a Dunhill analog of any kind, and have no idea what they are like. I got some "Dunhill" juice from a vendor, liked it, and this is my DIY take on that, it may be nothing like a real Dunhill. 0.6 mL 100 mg Nicotine Base in 50-50 PG/VG 1.5 mL...

    New DIY strategy

    New diyers -are you inclined to jump right in to the more sophiticated but challenging approach to pursue many component trace amounts of many components seeking complex but probably finer flavored or do you go for the simpler but mor logical strategy of the probably less final objective but...
