    Taking DIY to Next Level

    Hi, I've been DIYing for a couple months now, and my friends at my local pub are really liking my juices. The problem is the amount of time it's now taking me to fulfill their requests. I'm getting a dozen or so different juice requests a week, and that number seems likely to increase, as I...

    Tips and Tricks for DIY Tobaccos

    In the ongoing pursuit of analog-like DIY, I was wondering if any of you have your own secrets for drying out, or nuttifying (word?) tobacco flavorings that are a bit on the floral side.

    Leaking, Leaking, and more Leaking

    Bob's Bubble Steeping

    Having received quite a few e-liquids "before their time", only to find them much improved weeks later; I began reading the ECF posts on steeping. It seems that two main processes are at work in peoples steeping methods: blending of ingredients over time, and aeration (oxidation?). People tend...

    What are 10 Flavors to Buy First?

    New to DIY juice concocting. First try was hideous. Since Good Prophets has 1/2 price DIY sale, I should start a pantry of standard flavors. Any suggestions on what to start with? Have Vanilla, spearmint, and wintergreen. Makes toothpaste flavor... Yech!

    Where's the best place to find Deals of the Day, and Coupons?

    Like seemingly all newbies, I went hog wild the first couple weeks, and made a bunch of mistakes with both hardware and liquid. Now, I've got a better idea of what I like, but have spent more than I wanted to on some stuff that's no good. So, now I need some deals. I've bookmarked Vapor Joe's...

Can someone point me in the right direction? 2. At the grocery store, I was interested in some almond and citrus extracts. I know...
