    Whole cloves. Anybody try it?

    I did a search, but nothing really turned up. I was looking in my kitchen cupboard and spied a jar of whole cloves. Hmm, I think to myself, wonder how many it would take to flavor some juice? I have some DIY juice that just doesn't do it for me, so I figured maybe a taste of clove might be...

    Question for the cigar guys...

    I'm a chick and don't know anything about cigars. I'd like to try a cigar extraction using the shot glass method. I don't want to do pipe tobacco because I don't rebuild coils and don't want to deal with gunk any more than I have to. My question is- What very cheap and easily available cigar...

    Crappy stripped 510 threads!

    Admittedly, I got my batteries from Fasttech and didn't pay much, so I probably shouldn't expect much. My first two 650 egos are stripped- my fault mostly(one is still usable, the other one did weird stuff and it died). Cross-threaded one on a bad cart, and since I was new I kept changing...

    What is a mod?

    Or what do you consider a mod? Just curious. When I hear someone call a ProVari or Reo a mod it just seems off to me. They're manufactured, albeit in small quantities, and they're all the same. Calling a Twist a mod really makes me go "Huh?" APV maybe, but not a mod. To me a mod is a one of...

    MATH is not optional... a minor rant.

    About every day or so, someone posts about how to figure out a percentage, and it seems like they always have high % nicotine. :facepalm: Really guys, it's basic algebra, you should have learned it in like 7th grade. If you can't do it easily, there are several calculators on this forum AKA...

    Already have two DIY that I really, really like....

    Is it dumb luck? I've had my DIY stuff for a month or so and made maybe 10-12 different mixes. I went to mix up a few more bottles last night and decided to just make the two I like the most (an RY4 that's quickly becoming my ADV and a Butterscotch) and another RY4 that's pretty good. Nothing...

    "Do you know what's in those things?"

    said a co-worker to me yesterday in the .... hut? She was insinuating, of course, that e-cigs are more dangerous than smoking because she'd heard or read something derogatory. "Yup", I said, "Propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, nicotine and flavorings. I made it myself. Do you know what's in...

    RE: CC fraud. What about the old-fashioned way?

    Just wondering... if we're worried about CC theft with US vendors (since PayPal is not an option), why not just send a check? I'm old enough to remember real mail order... you fill out an order form and send it and a check or money order via snail mail to the vendor. The vendor processes the...

    Some flavors hit hard??

    or is it my imagination? I'm a noob at DIY and my first couple of mixes were at 1.8 nic. I've been playing just a little more and to save $$, I've been making some of my test batches at 1.2 nic. I've noticed that when I put coconut candy (the only coconut I have) in a mix, it seems to hit like a...

    Spinoff: Does anybody else just hate videos, period?

    OK, I can see the use of videos for, say, how to build a coil. But video reviews of flavors? Really? Is it all that hard to just type out a description. (Unless it's the crab e-liquid, now that was priceless!) By the time it takes for me to listen to your silly little introduction, I could have...

    Should I save my egos for parts?

    I don't plan on making any mods anytime in the near future, probably never will. Anyway, the first of my ego batteries died. Should I save things like this for you folks that like to play with electronic stuff?

    Holy crap- it's been over two weeks since I ordered something!

    And it's been 8 days since my last vape mail delivery. I have DIY juice supplies aplenty. Could it be the start of actual savings???? I do admit that I do have some stuff in my Fasttech cart, and I'd really like more Evods, but I'm being good....

    Mods fascinate me...can you really build them on the cheap?

    Let me preface this with saying I'm not going to be building anything anytime soon. While I can wire a house(mine) well enough that a real electrician wanted to hire me, I don't know diddly about electricity, and I sure don't do electronics. DH said he was the only one in school that couldn't...

    I thought PG shouldn't have any taste?

    Just started with DIY, actually made a couple of not-too-bad samples already. Decided I'd mix up another couple before bed tonight, and decided to taste the PG, which I didn't do when I first got it. It was kinda bitter and peppery. Yes it was definitely the PG and not the VG with the nic in it...

    Good starting point with Acetyl Pyrazine?

    I opened my little vial of AP- GAWD that stuff stinks-but I still want to try it. I only have TPA RY4-type 1 and RY4 Double. Can somebody suggest a good starting point for getting an idea of how to use AP? Somewhere I think I saw either 8 or 10% RY4 and 1% AP. Should I try the double or the...

    Will someone measure a Wizard bottle for me?

    I thought my order would arrive yesterday, but apparently it didn't make it to my local PO on time for delivery.:( So I have to wait 'til Monday- and I have to work Mon-Wed, 12 hr shifts. Since I totally lack in space and organizational abilities, I thought it might be a good idea to have...

    Is there any reason to save ce4 clearos when they're dead?

    I've got a ce4 (not changeable head) and a no-wick ce5 (fasttech-no wick) that are dead. Well, the ce5 works, but leaks like a sieve when I take it off a battery- pulling the little pin out helped for just a little while. I figure I'll save the tips just for kicks, but once they stop firing...

    Recipe combination help for a noob! Wizard en route...

    So my Wizard order has finally shipped! :D BUT, I didn't get some stuff I wanted 'cuz it was out of stock, like Bav. Cream, Banana Nut Bread, cinnamon danish, green apple and a couple others. Dummy me should have gotten some sweet cream, but didn't. I feel another order coming on soon! Anyway-...

    Can I use this rum flavor (and a few others) I found in my kitchen?

    I bought this Durkee rum extract (PG, water,alcohol 2.5%, nat & art. flavors, caramel color) to make rum raisin cheesecake (hmm, that sounds like it could be a good vape!) when I couldn't get to a liquor store for real rum. Is there any reason not to try it to flavor juice, and what % would be a...

    Most inexpensive clearo and how many times can you change the head?

    I'm new to all this- went smoke free on May 10th. I have a 900 and a couple of 650 batteries from Fasttech. I'm broke and they're cheap. :) I have a few ce4+ clearos from my first order- 2 died and the one that's still working leaks at the bottom (onto my battery) when I use it, and it gurgles...
