    Long time away - Checkin in

    Hey DIY'ers, I used to be very active here back in 2013-16 but DIY vaping has become such an easy routine that I don't really follow the industry much anymore. Anyways, I've been mixing for 4 people since 2013. Oddly, I'm the only one left who still occasionally vapes flavored juice. The other 3...

    Deeming Regulations Are In Effect

    The deeming released thread is massive. Mods delete this if it is inappropriate. I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread dedicated to the marketplace effects and/or disruption now that regs are in action enforcement is possible (or imminent). Hopefully we can stay on topic with...

    Scientific American Article

    http://www.scientificamerican.bom/article/they-re-far-from-harmless-but-e-cigarettes-can-get-people-off-tobacco/ I broke the link but probably didn't need to. It's not an awful article. The risks may be overstated but overall this is the point of the article: "In the meantime, however, we...

    Ecigs May Affect Genes in Airways

    https://www.sciencedaily.bom/releases/2016/06/160620141317.htm Not sure if it's junk science but doesn't appear to be on the face. I broke the link anyways. Change .bom with .com. Here's the link to the study in the AJP. Doesn't really have much detail. E-cigarette use results in...

    Is it unusual to regress to simple stupid?

    I've been at it just over 2 years. Started like most 2 years ago with an evod and simple twist battery. That stuff was cutting edge back then. lol. I've bought tons of stuff. Have a pile of good 18650/350's. Assorted mechs and vv/vw tube mods. Drippers and kayfuns and some genesis style tanks...

    How often do you mix?

    I'm curious about how much time folks spend mixing and how often they "open the lab". When I started in October of 2013, I mixed at least 1-2 times per week. And did lots of little bottles. It was a bit overwhelming at times. Reading notes, printing recipes, tweaking this, tossing that, and...

    University of Florida Teen E-cig Survey

    I couldn't find a thread on the study released on the 6th. If there is one, please delete this thread There's a lot of news stories saying the same thing so I don't see the need to break a link and post it here. Some interesting findings that even though are presented improperly, once you...

    Home Made Apple Pie

    It took me a while to get it right but I think this is spot on: 8% CAP apple pie 4% TFA Graham Cracker 2% HS Vanilla 1-2% TFA Cin Danish Sweetener or EM to taste (optional) The HS vanilla has creamy flavor that really works. The apple in Cap is prominent and more of a green apple flavor than...

    Oldest juice you've vaped?

    I've vaped plenty of 6 month old steeped NETs and they are all excellent. But I steep those for many months on purpose. I was looking through a box on my shelf last night and found a 14 month half full bottle of Vermillion River's Cherrywood. I like that juice a lot and was surprised to find...

    FDA Would you donate to CASAA for legal costs?

    I'm already a CASAA member. However, this is a critical time in protecting our freedom and liberty with something all of us hold very dear to ourselves, our health, and our families. If CASAA fights for us in court I would gladly donate additional to a designated legal fund. I hope everyone on...

    Who has found their sweet spot?

    I think I have. I haven't ordered new hardware in months and I have 2 premix and 8 DIYs that I can vape all day any day. When I first got in almost a year ago, I had the frantic chasing mentality like almost everyone who first starts. More flavors than I knew what to do with (many sucked so I...

    Simple and Delicious Hangsen Tobacco Mixes

    I've been really enjoying various hangsen tobaccos mixed with my favorite sweeter flavors. I've been rotating the mixes for days now and they all taste so good. 7% HS Tab Blended 5% TFA DRY4 Such a nice blend. I personally find DRY4 a little sweet on its own and not enough tobacco. I have been...

    My DIY storage solution for DIY

    I have kids in the house so portable and locking are 2 very important things I've been considering since I recently started DIY juice. I looked at all kinds of things like cosmetic cases, storage bins, essential oils kits, etc. Nothing came close to what I wanted. My criteria: Less than $50...

    Who do you pro drippers switch flavors?

    I have a k100 mech and an igo-l. I love the simplicity and power of the rig. Such a flavor bomb compared to tanks. How do you pros go about changing flavors? Can you just do a hot water rinse and blot dry? Shortcuts, tips, and tricks would be greatly appreciated.

    Mom and Pops Concentrated Flavors?

    I just got 10mls of 5 layer, tobacco haze, bianca's bliss, and calipiter chow. Lazy man's approach to DIY. I've always wanted to try those flavors anyway and it's a super cheap way to go. Especially if I like any one of them. They recommend 20% flavor but I'm not sold on going that high. Does...

    Thank you DIY forum! First multi-falvor recipe success.

    Can't thank the entire ECF community enough for providing such vast knowledge about everything ecig related. DIY is too awesome. My first multi-flavor recipe came out really nice. Gonna let is steep a bit more. Might be lacking sweetness but too early to tell. I named it for what it is. Creamy...

    Taking the plunge. Have a plan. Looking for critical thoughts.

    I've become pretty comfortable taking the plunge and going DIY. I've read a ton already so I'm not looking for a 101 class or anything. First thing is storing the nic base. I'm not getting caught with my pants down this fall. Even if nothing happens I'll be totally happy with a multi year...

    Amazon is in the game

    This might be old news but I specifically remember searching amazon for vape gear a month or 2 ago and only saw carrying cases. For fun I searched kanger today. Protank 2's on amazon for 19.99. Not a mindblowing deal or anything but I was surprised. They have evics for $90 w/ a 2600mah battery...

My buddy has a vamo that I've tested and I like it but I want something different so the SID seems like a great choice. I want to order this week but I'm not 100%...

    Local News - Big VA Tobacco Supplier to Start Making Liquid Nic

    Tobacco supplier Universal to make liquid nicotine - WTOP.com This was on my local news station. Our biggest fear as vapors is what the gov wants to do to our juice. Having big companies like this make nic juice for the industry is probably good news. They did their homework I'm sure. The...
