    Toning down the bitterness of a tobacco

    Hey all, I've run into a problem with my ADV. I use Indian tobacco with a bit of jamaican rum, AP and saline but the last batch of Indian I received is much more bitter than previous batches. It's so bitter in fact that it's barely vapable with my original recipe. What can I add to reduce...

    Frustrated...

    Well, my taste buds are once again going haywire on me. The sweet--->salty taste is alternating daily atm so I haven't been able to test any of my recent mixes. This latest bout of taste challenges has been going on now for almost 2 weeks and it's really annoying since I really want to get...

    Where do you stand on power?

    When I first started vaping I always tried to hit the highest power without getting a dry hit. (After all, isn't what the guys in the videos do to get that great flavor/vapor production?) I even went so far as to modify my coil/wick builds so that I could drive up the power and still feed it...

    Soapy taste?

    So, I've done a search and I saw many mentions of a 'soapy taste' regarding some flavorings. Is there a reason some mixes have a soapy taste to them? Example: I mixed up some HS Granny Smith at 5% and there was a VERY muted soap taste and the apple taste was pretty weak. My friend noticed...

    Which way to go on TFA choco clear?

    Hey, I'm tasting my choco clear test batch at 10% and there is hardly any choco taste at all. When I smell it there is a good choco scent to it but no taste. Should I up the %, lower it or add a secondary flavor like vanilla, bavarian cream or italian cream or EM...sheesh! I don't have any...

    Thoughts on social media and handing ammo to the opposition

    Lately I've been seeing a lot of posts on FB regarding e-cigs and the propaganda surrounding the anti-e-cig movement. Personally I don't think it's a good idea to share the anti propaganda because it gives them a larger audience. I would rather see a lot of the positives surrounding e-cig use...

    Clarification on perfume smell

    Hey gang, I just mixed a couple e-juices together, snickers and vanilla and now there is a perfume smell. I've read that a perfume smell is indicative of too much flavoring. Is that possible when adding two e-juices together? Would the fix be to add some unflavored PG/VG to the mix?

    Health concerns relieved!

    Went to my Endo last week and had some bloodwork done. I was concerned because that even though I've started running and lost some weight I've been vaping quite a bit and nicotine is supposed to increase blood glucose levels. Well, the numbers are in and after 14 years of being 'almost in...

    Twist cleaning

    The center pin on my twist has gotten gunked up from leaking liquid and now it does not return to the extended position after being pressed in by my tank. Is there any way to take this thing apart to clean it or does anyone know of a good way to un-gunk this thing?

    That's weird...

    The last couple of days I've noticed a very sweet taste to everything I vape and it kinda sticks in my mouth. (ack) Even my saliva tastes sweet which I really don't like at all. It goes away when I brush but as soon as I take a drag off my mod the taste is back but it will fade if I drink...

    Happy Camper!

    Woot! Just picked up my SVD from Jvapes along with an IGO-L. SVD is awesome and can hardly wait to start playing around with the IGO... :rickroll: This thing is solid, with smooth threads and feels great in my hand. Now I just need to adjust my coil/wick setup in my PT II to make it a bit...

    Vaping and Bees...

    Anyone notice whether or not bees seem attracted to their vaping? In the past 3 yrs at work, I've encountered 1 (ONE) bee that decided to pop inside my car to see what was up. Since I've started vaping in August, I've had at least 5 bees snooping around to see what that enticing smell...

    On a Mission

    Hey all, I just finished taking my nephew to JVapes today to get him started on vaping. His father smokes an occasional cigar and is interested in trying e-cigs but he wants something with a cigar look and taste. He does NOT want to have to mess with tanks or liquids or even charging, but...

    Reccommendations ~$100

    So like the title says, what would you recommend for an APV in the $100 price range? I'd like to have just the basics as far as features go without a bunch of extra functions but build quality is important and ability to take different size batteries via telescoping would be nice but not...

    A good day!

    Today was my future daughter-in-laws bridal shower so us men-folk got to hang out at a pub in Arvada. We met at a place called the Yak and Yeti which serves Indian food and it was EXCELLENT and the beer was just as good. What made the day even better is after we finished our meal I asked the...

    Sinuses finally cleared!

    I've been reading about the side effects of quitting smoking for a while now and was wondering when I'd start to see some of the other often mentioned effects of quitting. I never had a cough so I didn't notice anything nor did I hack up any phlegm. It's been just over a month for me and...
