    Thanks for reading and commenting. The balance between flavor and vapor density is ever elusive.

    3 days no cigs

    Congratulations and stick with it! Everybody is different when it comes to how much nicotine they need in their juice to avoid smoking again. They all use different equipment and have different vaping styles. Long pulls or short pulls, mouth-to-lung or straight lung hits, wattage, etc., all...

    The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

    2 drops per 5 ml sounds about right but 3 or 4 drops per ml for fruit juices? Per 5 ml maybe?

    I swear I could vape key lime in motor oil and I'd like it. :D

    Questions on a Freakshow Dual Coil Build

    You're doing just fine. Ceramic tweezers tend to speed the process a bit because you can compress the coil while you heat it but they are most certainly not required. You can use a rod to straighten up the coils or "unbend" them if they get a bit skewed while you're trying to compress them but...

    The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

    OK guys, back to recipes! Here's an easy one that is surprisingly good. Key Lime Ale key lime 9% ginger ale 8% sweet 4% em 2% All TFA, 30/70 pg/vg, 2 nic. And as a bonus it is wattage insensitive. Low watts in a tank to high watts on a...

    For flavor I'd recommend the Magma. For vapor production and not bad flavor, the Mutation x. The V3 is very easy to build on as it has dual center posts. No more crossed wires!

    Best mech and drippers??

    Another vote for a Stingray clone. For RDA's I'd recommend a Mutation X, particularly the V3, for clouds and the flavor is very good also.

    Congratulations on quitting smoking! You've got some good gear there. I'm generally a dripper but I love the subtank mini for when I'm driving my truck. Gear choice is a very individual thing and I'm partial to IPV and Sigelei boxes. Whatever works for you is what's best for you! Welcome to...

    BC and SC aren't really all that strong so if you want it to taste creamy you'll need more than that. I'd suggest 6-8% Bavarian and 4% sweet cream. That should give it a smooth creamy flavor. Of course, adjust to your taste with your equipment.

    The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

    It's interesting though that Cinnamon Danish is so sensitive yet Peaches & Cream, Dutch Apple Pie and Jo's Peach Cobbler don't show it at all. You can vape them down to 0.3 ohm and 50-60 watts with no appreciable change in flavor. Huge difference in vapor density but the flavor is true. The...

    Diy ejuice

    Fair warning!!! It is much cheaper per ml to make BUT once you get into it you want to try everything. You'll wind up buying a few flavors here and a few flavors there and pretty soon you've got a drawer full. Counting drops is a pain so you wind up buying syringes and big-bore needles and...

    A few of you have mentioned Earl Grey tea so I thought I'd share one that I started on some time ago but just finished recently: Scottish Earl Earl Grey tea 2% butterscotch 8% sweet cream 4% sweet 3% All TFA, 30/70 pg/vg, 2 nic Intense butterscotch on the draw, sweet tea on...

    The sugar will caramelize, i.e.burn and gunk up your coil in very short order.

    Using post 5 as my formal introduction

    Congratulations and good luck! There is an initial hardware investment but once you get a few rigs you like all you'll be buying is juice which is much cheaper than cigarettes.
