The new forum software had basically destroyed my DIY math blog post (The Mixing Equation) shortly after I finally got full-time work, and my new job is pretty demanding, so that blog has been in serious need of fixing for some time now. After some frustration, I finally gave up on using the...

Until 1/26/15, no code required.

Got this in an email from NN. Public GC/MS Testing is Afoot @ Nude Nicotine! The day has come. Public GC/MS testing is close at-hand! Our second Agilent 5973 MSD (AKA Our beloved GC/MS - Gas Chromatograph tandem Mass Spectrometer) is due to arrive in the lab next week! We are...

MFS is having a store wide 20% off sale for 24 hours using code HOLIDAY20, including clearance items (not sure about nic, you will have to try it and see). And in case anyone does not know about this ECF thread, it is worth keeping an eye on...

This one is just a bullet point list of tips for people starting out. It is by no means comprehensive, just a few things I wish I knew before diving in. If you have time to check it out and provide feedback, thanks. I promise not to cry over any criticism, and if it is constructive, I will...

I started working on a blog post that defines some of the most basic aspects of DIY chemistry that I hope will be useful for people considering or starting DIY who have little or no chemistry training. And I have refined my first one, about DIY math. My goal is to explain things in terms most...

So I decided to start a blog about the mathematics involved in DIY. Nothing too intense, just some algebraic manipulation of the mixing equation, since people often ask, how do you do that? It might be pretty useless for people that don't know basic algebra, and it includes a recommendation to...

Is it possible to edit one's own blog entries after posting them, without deleting and starting over? I have hunted around and searched this subforum but have not found a way to do so. Of course there could be a link and I am just not seeing it, so if it can be done can someone tell me how?

OK, so we are getting a lot of folks wanting to start DIYing (like me, not all that long ago), which is great, but many of them have no chemistry background or knowledge of the potential hazards. We point them to the stickies at the top of the DIY subforum, but the most important and useful...

I ran a few calcs today to see how much I spend on juice now that I DIY. For unflavored juice, with 1 liter of 100 mg nic base ($50), two liters of VG ($18.75 each), and 10% water, my 33 mg mix costs $0.0265 per ml. For flavorings, I just used nice round numbers, since that varies quite a bit...

I have some 120 ml glass bottles left over from work that I want to use to freeze some nic base. However, the caps are not the usual type. They are designed to contain samples of volatile materials. The liner of the cap is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) faced silicone septa that can be...

I have been using Joye eGo-c and plain eGo batteries, and they work great but are not cheap and do wear out. I am on a limited budget, so I would like to move to something where just the actual battery can be replaced, instead of the whole housing with circuitry, etc., if that will save me...

I purchased some nic base, VG, and Patchouli Vanilla flavor from Nude Nicotine and they threw in a free ml bottle of their Blueberry Mojito. I also got some RY4D from TFA. I have played around with all of that enough to share my impressions, FWIW, bearing in mind I am pretty new to vaping, so...

[edit] Thanks to the folks that took the time to look into this. The pertinent questions have been answered and everything is OK now. [end edit] Please read this recent thread and verify whether my math is correct and the OP is possibly in danger...

So I have all these little bottles of juice that I don't care for, but being a miser it is hard for me to throw anything away. When I do scrap something, I will take out screws, bolts, nuts washers, and even nails (and straighten them) and put them in a coffee can in my garage. And you know...

I'm starting out slow by working with single flavors for now. I just started a batch of TFA Double RY4, mosty VG, 33 mg nic, 4% TFA RY4D. After reading a bunch of recipes, I see that a lot of people mix it at 10% or higher, so I am wondering if I should add more flavor soon so I won't have to...

Did my first DIYs this weekend with supplies from Nude Nicotine. The first effort was just a dilution of unflavored nic base (70Vg/30PG) using 1 part base to two parts VG for an unflavored 33 mg/ml, 90VG/10PG juice. I like unflavored juice, so I figured that was a good starting place. The...

Investigating various sources of e-juice and nic base, I have seen several recommendations here on the forum, which I find quite helpful; if it hasn't killed you or made you sick, and it tastes OK, that is some assurance for me. But every source I check out has the same basic level of assurance...

I can't seem to find an answer to this, so it is probably so obvious that it is staring me in the face, but some feedback would be helpful. Do people generally use a mixing tool, such as a stick blender, or just shake and/or stir their mixtures? Also, I have seen some flavor reviews that...

Am I the only person left on the planet that uses the old school eGo kit with cartridges? After searching and reading more threads than I want to count, it kind of seems that way. The question is, why? I was introduced to vaping when my wife's friend sent us a Joyetech eGo, probably a couple...
