    Pink Starburst

    Pink Starburst (by Bill's Magic Vapor, TFA Recipe thread, ECF): Strawberry - 8% Sweet Cream - 4% Vanilla Swirl - 4% Cotton Candy - 2% Sweet and Tart - 2% I just mixed this and find it tasty, but extremely strong, intense. It's my first time using the TFA SweetTart flavor and I'm finding that...

    Does anyone have any ideas for FW Tres Leches? It came highly recommended, but the few mixes I've used it in (one at 5% with 12% Juicy Peach and one at 1% in a mix of similar overall flavoring percentage with Strawberry and Raspberry. Both times it adds a sort of funky, not entirely pleasant...

    Looking to try DIY e-liquid, where's the best place to start?

    I've tried two out three of these: Mama J's Juice and Bull City Vapor - Best Prices on DIY e-liquid Supplies They both have outstanding customer service, incredibly fast shipping and great prices. And MamaJ's has a specialty flavors area--premixed flavor mixes to make your DIY a little...

    Thanks very much for the input. The lowest nic I have currently is 12mg, which was why I was going for a 1.5 or 1.8--my understanding was that a higher ohm build would be less intense at that level. For rods, I have the 5/64ths bit and the screwdriver that came along with the Magma--little...

    I was using a 50/50 juice at 12mg...kind of high for dripping, eh? So I guess that part makes more sense now. Thank you :) Well, I must have done the calculations wrong. Will take yet another look. Would you recommend I try building for the magma with 32 g? That is the other type of wire I...

    Why are DX flavors called that? I see that they have butyric acid instead of acetyl propionyl/acetoin, but what does the DX stand for? Also, has anyone tried the organic strawberry flavoring? I don't have enough different strawberries...looking for reasons to buy more!

    Nic: what do you (or anyone) make of a 28g, 12 wrap coil on a 5/64ths rod that is reading at 2.1 ohms on my Magma/iStick setup? According to the calculators I've used, it should be more in the range of 1.5. I can't think what accounts for the difference. This is my first coil ever built, and...

    I will check out wizard labs - have yet to order from them. Hope shipping is nice and cheap. What is OOS?

    I am thinking about trying Red Licorice--the thing is, I love twizzlers candy--but I loathe red vines. Is the TFA red lic like Twizzlers? Here's hoping! I imagine a twizzlers flavor could be an adv for me.

    I will give this a try, and probably also the TFA version. WTH, maybe even FW. If I can justify an order of one flavor, I can always manage to justify more, because of shipping. :) I have to go through and remind myself which place has the cheapest Capellas. What is the name of the place that...

    Me too (no chest injury, but what Dykey said). I'm going to higher and higher VG all the time, since PG dries the heck out of my mouth, lips and sinuses.

    Flavor West DIY flavor review

    Can someone familiar with FW Mango (or other mango flavors for that matter) give me an opinion on which mango I should use to achieve a somewhat candied-yet-tart effect? The juice I'm hoping to end up with has peach, mango, raspberry, probably vanilla and a small percentage of cake or cream...

    Flavor West DIY flavor review

    My nicotine is in 100% VG, and the first time I took it out of the freezer to mix with it, it was so thick I broke an 18 gauge needle trying to expel it from the syringe--not the metal part of the needle, but the needle bit came popping and into the bottle I was mixing base in. I learned: - to...

    I have certainly heard this before--about VG needing additional flavoring--but have not found it to be the case at all in my own DIY. I wonder if the fact that I never mix or vape at any temperature below about 75 degrees F could have something to do with it.

    Could you explain your reasoning on this? Why the higher percentage in warm weather?

    It's amazing what panic can do. People use the word "psychosomatic" almost interchangeably with "hypochondriac", but the fact is, your state of mind has a lot to do with what's going on in your body. The fight/flight response can totally take over your whole endocrine system, for instance...

    Ouch, Duck. That sounds unpleasant, to say the least. Steroid shots can make you feel crazy for a few days--if it was corticosteroid like prednisone or something along those lines. So if you do... don't worry--it should pass. They mess with your natural endocrine levels and your...
