    I've updated my recommended reading for people new to DYI. Please have a look.

    Thanks for all the info Danny! Thanks to all these contributions I, too, have had to ask very few questions and those I've had are answered quickly and intelligently. I second bwh79 on the question of cleaning supplies. With the exception of needles I've been using dish soap and tap water...

    The opposite of sweetener?

    So here's the latest (after breaking out a brand new head to ensure no sweetness was coming through from the previous juice): 70/30 has no sweetness that I can taste. However, it's not enough vapor for my liking either. Going to try 65/35 as a compromise and see how that tastes. The recipe...

    The opposite of sweetener?

    Okay! Today I've got 3 clearomizers and 2 batteries (eGo VV types) on the go. 1 clearo contains unflavoured liquid; last night I filled it with .5ml of the 50/50 0 nic base I keep on hand for dilution and cleared out the juice that was in it already. Vaped till it was almost empty and just now...

    The opposite of sweetener?

    Oooooh, good points. My bad on mixing up where the sweetness came from - I thought it was the PG. I've played with the ratios, testing a variety of pre-mixed juices that all say they're "the best", and found 60/40 to be my personal preference for throat hit/harshness vs. vapor production. I...

    The opposite of sweetener?

    I've done some searching and found some possibilities, but thought asking for input would help as well. I'm fairly new to this - just started vaping in September and DIY juice came shortly after - and my favourite recipe is giving me some issues. The taste itself is exactly right; my...

    Bill 45 Regulating E-Cigs in Ontario Read it!!!!

    Talked this out with my husband yesterday and he put it into a different perspective for me: We as responsible vapers see this solely as "Government needs to restrict the good e-cig sellers" so we can't get our e-cigs. But to the non-vaper, Government is trying to restrict the sale of...

    Spent a lot of money - worth it?

    Way to go Ablonz! Before you know it indeed, that one cigarette a day will just taste and feel *wrong*. Every now and then I'll have a puff or two off my husband's smoke and bleeecch. It's a great feeling, looking at the pack and not wanting to touch them. And with DIYing, you just feel so...

    What are you waiting for in the mail?

    Ever notice how when you're not doing anything particularly important, the mail shows up in a timely manner....but if, for example, you delay going somewhere until your package shows up THAT's when the mailman takes his sweet time getting to your house?

    Spent a lot of money - worth it?

    Your flavours sound delicious and are making my mouth water. If I didn't have a whole bunch of brand new ones sitting right next to me waiting to be mixed up I'd go out and order some thanks to you! It FEELS really expensive right off the bat because there's all this equipment, and you're...

    Your avatar rocks. Do you hunt with dogs as gorgeous as that one? It's what they're made for, after all - at least that's what ours tells us whenever he smells a rabbit. :D

    What do you do ?

    You know, I always enjoyed the act of smoking about as much as I was addicted to it physically. Between the time I quit using Champix and when I took up vaping, I gained plenty of pounds keeping my hands occupied....and this tastes SO MUCH BETTER than analogs ever did!

    Ejuice calculator (added quantity calculations)

    Hey Scubabatdan, just wanted to let you know I've been using this (v13) since before I was a member here and without it I'd be lost. The work you've put into the formulas has allowed me to move the tables around and use them however I like, which the online calculators don't, as well as...

    My Atty Resurrection Method

    Thanks so much for this, highping - by all accounts on this thread the results of this method are pretty dang amazing and I'm trying it now on my four wretched little attys. I'm looking forward to trying out some new DIY flavours soon, and didn't want to buy new ones just to drip them while...

    "Subscribe to Forum" - where did they go?

    WAIT WAIT I FOUND THEM! *happydance* In case anyone else has the same trouble I just did (and I did search the forum before posting, so perhaps someone else will too) : I hit "Settings" in the top right corner, and nothing else; they were all right there on the front page of my user CP...

    "Subscribe to Forum" - where did they go?

    Thanks, classwife, for moving it to the correct spot. Where is it you're looking that you see the forums you're subscribed to? I may just not be looking in the right place *at* *all*.

    Do you prefer going to a Brick and Mortar Vape Shop or buying from an Online Vape Shop?

    I voted "buy juice at B&M"/"buy parts and equipment from an online store" but really those are the only options I've got. I'd far prefer to get everything in one place from a local retailer BUT where I am, that's not possible. The market here doesn't seem to be big enough to warrant the need...
