    Tobacco 'Types'

    Oops, appears that I missed commenting on Hangsen. 6% for HS Desert Ship suits me, and 7-7.5% for Highway.

    Tobacco 'Types'

    I'd try about 2% with the VZ-SC. Most FA tobaccos would be 2-4%. TFA and FW would be 6-8%. Seedman concentrates would be highest, maybe 15% (it's been a long time since I used Commercial). Do not use FA Black Fire for a single-flavor mix-- it's an additive only, to give a smoky taste; can...

    FDA Regs affecting VG/PG prices.

    Suppliers will try to keep up with increased demand. Often this requires their employees to work overtime, which causes an increase in production costs.

    Looking to Get into DIY due to Chain Vaping.

    Adding water isn't a requirement, but you may want to thin down the juice a bit if you're going to use it in a tank. 5% distilled water works well. That would be 1.5ml in volume for a 30ml batch.

    Recommended weight scale

    I bought an Etekcity 500 gram digital pocket scale for $16.99 from Amazon, got free shipping with Amazon Prime. It doesn't have an AC adapter but that hasn't been a problem. I just line up my ingredients in the order I'll use them and start. If something interrupts, I just stop between adding...

    Help; S desert ship far too sweet!

    I'd take 3ml of that 8% Desert Ship and add 5ml of 3mg 40/60 unflavored base. Warm the bottle, shake it like mad then let it sit for at least 24 hrs. If you're looking to try more Inawera tobacco flavors, I can recommend Am4a, Gold Ducat and Turkish Tobacco. I prefer these at 3.0 to 3.5%...

    New FDA regulations and effect on DIY?

    I have zero faith in the FDA. My belief is, overall they are worse than useless in protecting the public. Ask doctors for their opinion on that subject, you might be surprised by their answers. It's big government taking another step to control our lives, as if they are the parents and we...

    Need advice with distilled water or any kind of thinner for all vg.

    When I started mixing I used to make up batches of pre-thinned VG for convenience in measuring with small syringes and quicker combining in the mix bottle. Recommend keeping your working stock in the fridge between mixing sessions if you make more than a week's worth. Kurt's method is better...

    Cheaper Steeper

    Might be worthwhile to insulate the sides of the vessel (outside the sand) with Styrofoam, to slow down heat loss and raise the maximum temperature a bit. How about a $6.31 thermometer?

    Svoemesto Kayfun Mini V3

    Got a mini for my wife two weeks ago. It's set up with a 2.5mm 28 gage Kanthal contact coil, 8 wraps and running about 1.5 ohm. It's wicked with KGD, as snug as I could make it without stripping fibers off the cotton. The tails are trimmed by about 25% so as not to crowd the juice cups...

    Which of this bewildering away of e juice companies do I buy from?

    To save money on juices, create accounts on the sites you intend to buy from in the future and subscribe to their emails, so you will be notified of sales and discount codes. Sometimes you can save a lot. For example, I bought 580ml of juice from Nite Lite Vapor during their Black Friday sale...

    which one is btter to start?

    I suggest the iStick 40TC as several people have said. It's small, light, and the battery lasts a long time. I'm a tube mod user but I like my wife's new iStick. Make sure it comes in a kit with the charging cable.

    Spot on Camel Tobacco flavor

    Your post reminds me that I need to reorder more ITC Turkish Blend. I steep it for a month before blending it with NLV Twilite Tobacco to make my staple ADV, 25% Turkish + 75% Twilite.

    ITCVapes VS Vape Wild, which do you prefer?

    I'd give ITC the edge over VW based on the ones I've tried so far, using a Kayfun at 13-14 watts. ITC faves: Heaven's Bounty, Spoon Licker V2, Vanilla Buttercream Cupcake, Lemon Custard Bar. VW faves: Pearadise, Double Rainbow, Sweet Complexity.
