    Math??

    I'm doing some experimenting with sweetener in some of my DIY juices that are already made. I'm working with 1-2 ml batches. I want a mixture of sweetener that will result in 1% sweetener if added to 1 ml of juice. I know that 1 drop of sweetener in 1ml of juice equals 5% (assuming 20...

    MBV Sweetener

    I know this has probably been asked and answered, but I can't find it. Is MBV sweetener (which I assume is FW) made from sucralose?

    NewestAttack on E-Cigs

    Fox news just reported (3/21/14 6:55 EDT) a "Warning to Parents" about the dangers of E-Cig liquid. Poison control reports that children are drinking e-liquid and poisoning themselves. They are drinking it because it has yummy flavors like Bubble Gum and Cotton candy.............one teaspoon...

    Volt Meter

    I was watching a UTube video and saw a box with a male 510 connector on one end that screws into your PV and a female 510 connector on the other side of the box that you screw your atomizer into and a volt meter in the middle. It was used to check what the voltage was while the unit was in...

    14500 Battery?

    I placed an order with FastTech yesterday and on impulse purchased a small inexpensive mod that uses one 14500 battery. I started checking the internet for a pair of batteries today and am really confused. I started out looking for Panasonic but apparently they don't make those (at least with...

    Battery Button

    I have ordered a Vamo V5 from Fasttech and I was looking on Amazon for a pair of 18650 Panasonic batteries. The pictures that they show doesn't look like the positive post has a raised "button" on it. Will this battery work in the Vamo? Does a Vamo need "protected batteries"? I will also...

    Built A Puck

    I finally stopped by Radio Shack yesterday and picked up two battery boxes and a switch to build a Puck. I had everything else I needed. I had an Ego type battery go bad about a month ago so I used part of the tube and the 510/Ego cap. Everything went well, it looks good, and operates just...

    TFA Apple Pie

    Mixed up a batch of "no nic" TFA Apple Pie. I mixed at 12.5% (based on a recipe I read on this forum) and let it steep for 8 days. It is extremely weak. I can start adding a little at a time but I thought someone else on the forum may have discovered the % that is near the sweet spot. Any ideas?

    Hospital Smoking Ban

    Just heard about 10 minutes ago on the radio that our local County owned hospital has banned the use of cigarettes, chewing tobacco, snuff, and E-Cigarettes within a 3 block radius of any building on their campus including in private cars with the windows rolled up. This hospital has been...

    Cotton Candy Flavoring as a Sweetener

    I just place an order with MBV and threw in a bottle of Cotton Candy flavoring to use as a sweetener. I had previously purchased a bottle of sweetener from them and although it does sweeten juices I think it has a flavor of it's own that I don't like. I'm a little confused as to its use. If a...

    Is this normal?

    I am new to the DIY Juice world. Purchased all my supplies, read thousands of threads and "dove in". In my quest to make a Butter Rum juice I mixed up 3 batches at different strengths and without nic. I let them steep for a week and gave them a try. After going back and forth several times I...

    My First DIY Juice

    I read these threads for hours and decided to jump in and get wet. I used Lorann's Butter Rum and an 80/20 PG/VG mixture. No nic (just ordered that last night from WL). I started with three 1ml mixtures. I mixed flavoring at 5%, 10%, and 15%. Flavor was there in the 5% mix but not enough...

    Confused

    I've decided to dip into the DIY world. Obviously the best place to start is this forum so for the last three hours I have been reading all the various threads about making your own e-juice. This is what is rattling around in my brain: TFA sucks, no, I only use TFA, use no more than 3%...

    Ego Switch

    I have an ego 900 mha battery and I think the switch is getting ready to go bad. It charges fine but a couple of times the switch has been intermittent. This is just a straight fixed voltage battery and is not VV. If I need to replace the switch will this work or is it just for the T type...

    Mini Rant

    After spending a ton of money on numerous juices and numerous vendors trying to find some I like I finally settled on about a half a dozen juices. Having reordered larger quantities and steeping for a couple of weeks I have found that most of them taste nothing like the originals that I...

    What's Going On?

    Was out in the car today and during ABC news heard a one liner "E-Cigarettes may have helped 100,000 cigarette smokers quit in the last year, just now on Fox News "The Five" Bob Beckle was puffing on an e-cig (looked like a Blu) and talked about how he can get his nic without all the hazards of...

    Sweetner?

    Along with being a nicotine addict I am also a sugar addict. I have some pre made juices that I think I would enjoy more if they were a little sweeter. I noticed that MBV sells a 15 ml bottle of sweetener. For testing purposes what would be the quantity to add to a 1.6ml clearo. 1 Drop, 5...

    Fox News

    Was watching Varney and Company on Fox News about 5 minutes ago. News story was "FDA to attempt to ban online sales of e-cigarettes to keep them out of the hands of children. This is after a failed attempt in 2009". May get this one. Who among us does not want to "protect our children"...
