    Lurker turned contributor...

    Welcome Oudakontrol, glad that you decided to de-lurk! I too am starting to take a closer look into the world of squonking. Its amazing the different directions this "hobbie" has taken me! I haven't got any really good sugestions on an RDA for you, but I am pretty sure that if you stick...

    Please allow me to introduce myself!

    I haven't really had leakage problems. If you mop up the excess juice, does it stop? If so, that may be due to extra pressure building up in the tank when you tighten down the top. If that is the case, it should straighten up and fly right after dribbiling a drop or two. I use rayon wick...

    Please help me with my doubts about laptop batteries

    Medea, I understand that you are on a tight budget. Have you considered buying batteries on line? Shipping may take a few days but, I have bought from these folks a few times. They are good to deal with. You can get some top quality Sony "high discharge " batteries for about $6.00 ea...

    getting there...enjoying the journey

    Hi lupinehorror! If you can heat up your VG a little by letting it sit in a bath of hot water for a few minutes, you may find that it is easier to work with in your syringes. I am glad to see that you are enjoying yourself! It can be very rewarding... and you can save a few bucks too.

    Howdy - also... juice ?

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    Hey Boxster, thanks for your input! I think that the idea that you and @Str8vision recomend about choosing tobaccos from different main catagories is sound advise. I just wish I had them all steeped and ready to vape now. Most of what I have extracted to this point I have really enjoyed. I...

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    Hey, thanks fellas! Thats useful info for me. I am going to have to pick up some Izmir now. Any recomendations on what to get; or what not to get? I'm looking for a little more variety in my juice line-up. I am finding that if I vape the same juice for a prolonged period of time, the flavor...

    Howdy - also... juice ?

    Hello XxAngelxX, Welcome to ECF! Without knowing the particulars on what type of equipment you are using, I wouldn't think that starting with 6mg would be anything extrordinary. From my point of view, you should find a level that makes you comfortable enough to get off the cigarettes! It...

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    Str8vision, I was wondering what "blend" you were extracting on this latest test? Is it one that you have done in the past and will be able to do a side-by-side flavor comparison?

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    I am kind of wondering what material these sieve beads made from. I have seen a few videos of them being used, and all of the residual powder dust left in suspension. I suspose that if you are going to filter it to 2 microns you will catch most of it, but is what gets through the filter safe...

    New Calculator to try

    I am by NO means an expert on anything computers but, I noticed from your screenshot that you had your default directory set to your "D" drive. Is that what you wanted? I think that mine automatically set to my "C" drive when I installed the software. I hope it might be something that simple...

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    Str8vision was kind enough to steer me in the direction of one of these a few months ago! They are Wonderful; absolutly perfect for our extractions. If you can come across one of them, I would highly recomend them to anyone... leftyandspanky, It looks like I got the same lab filters as...
