    My first DYI good and bad

    Thanks for the links. You are right I should have started with the lower percentage. That's the bad part of doing it the wrong way the first time and it working out. I just assumed (wrongly) that the result would be just as good the second time:blush:

    My first DYI good and bad

    Just made my first small batches of juice. I'm making 0 nic juice and decided to start with simple single flavor recipes. I used a 50/50 PG/VG mix. The first one I made was a 1:10 ratio mix with TPA peppermint. I really like this. Strong peppermint flavor that reminds me of Altoids. Because...

    Was looking for a small 18350 mod, the Gripper is PERFECT!

    I've been using my Gripper for about two weeks now and I'm very happy with it. I picked up some 1.7 ohm Resurrector XL cartomizers to use with it and the combination is great. Stealthy, pocket-able, and great vapor!

    Decided my first DYI will be 0 nic

    You are all right that high concentrate nic is cheap, say 100 mg. Even premixed to a usable level isn't that much compared to pre-flavored juice. But I know myself and I know I don't want to mess with the additional variable of getting nic levels right with 100 mg juice and if I buy 12 mg juice...

    jusr want to say a few kind words

    What has impressed me most is how spot on most of the recommendations are to folks asking for advice. When someone gives a specific list of requirements it seems as if everyone tries their best to really fill the persons needs and not just promote their favorite device. It seems to me when...

    Resurrectors are great!

    I've been using 1.8 ohm Vision Nano clearomizers in my Gripper, but at $3.99 each I wanted a cheaper option. So I ordered some 1.7 ohm XL Resurrector cartomizers and they are great! They produce a bit more vapor but the flavor is much better. The flavors just seem so much brighter and in your...

    Decided my first DYI will be 0 nic

    I'm sure you're right about the throat hit not being there, but I figure if I can get a flavor I like I can use the same recipe with premixed unflavored nic juice later. Since PG and VG is so cheap it seemed more economical making my flavor mistakes with it.:)

    Decided my first DYI will be 0 nic

    Hi All, I've decided to get into DYI to try to save money and because it seems as if vaping is turning into kind of a hobby for me, and it may be cheaper to spend my time making juice instead of collecting mods. Having said that I'm going to mix up some simple 0 nic one flavor juices just to...

    Wish me luck

    I wouldn't worry too much about the popping. I hear it with most everything except clearomizers. Also, I really don't think how long you smoked matters as much as how much you want to vape. I smoked a pack a day for over twenty years and the only time I've gone back after making the switch is...

    Thanks for the replies. Seems like a quick blow through the carto just in case is the best bet.

    Best pocket vape setup?

    I've just started carrying the original non vv gripper with vision nano clearos and am very happy with the setup. I keep extra batts, juice and clearos in the car. The gripper is smaller than a cell phone and disappears in my pocket with no leaking.

    Confused on filling cartos

    I've been watching some tutorials about the best ways to fill cartos. So far I've seen people use the condom method, syringes, plunging with tubes attached to syringes, and dripping. They all look effective enough but one thing confuses me. I thought it was necessary to keep the juice out of...

    What resistance for cartomizer?

    Thanks for all the responses. I think I will give these a shot... 510 SMOKTECH C.C.V. XL LR 1.7ohm STAINLESS STEEL (THE RESURRECTOR) (Box of 5) and 510 BOGE 50MM (XL) STAINLESS STEEL 2.0 ohm CARTOMISER (Box of 5) both are 50 mm long so should fit the gripper without an extension (I do have...

    What resistance for cartomizer?

    I'm getting ready to order some single coil cartomizers for a non vv gripper and I was wondering what resistance everyone would recommend. I currently vape 50/50 pg vg and the Gripper takes a single 18350 battery. I'm guessing somewhere between 1.5 and 2.0 ohms. I know personal preference plays...

    Got my new Gripper!

    Maybe it's not such a woman thing. I bought mine mostly because the size. My ego batteries were starting to die on me and my only other mod, a Bolt, made me feel like I was carrying a club in my pocket all the time. The Gripper was perfect. Fits in the pocket and is practically unnoticeable...

    Got my new Gripper!

    Right now I'm using a Vision Nano clearomizer with a shorty extender on it. It works well and keeps the size down as all of the clearo except the mouthpiece fits in the mod itself. I did get the extension to use with tanks while around the house but, I haven't used it yet. For the price...

    Got my new Gripper!

    Got my Gripper today. After some seriously fast shipping Madvapes got my original non vv gripper today. I love it! Although it is made of plastic it seems solid, fits in my hand perfectly, and slips in my front pocket easily. Most importantly it vapes great. Lots of taste and throat hit. Been on...

    What Flavor Are you Vaping Right Now?

    Right now I'm vaping 18 mg Doublemint from Mount Baker. Taste just like the gum and is very refreshing. I like it so much I order it in 50 mil bottles.

    Looking for a good XL cartomizer

    Thanks for the suggestions. Looks like Crystal Clear Vaping will be getting my next order. The Ressurectors look like a great deal and holding 2.5 mils of juice would last as long as most clearomizers.
