    Juice Color Caps

    I don't think they mean anything at all. They might be using them to easily rotate inventory. The color may somehow designate the batch it came from, much like the bread twist ties are different colors.

    I hate to do this...

    The easy way involves a $300 (or greater) lab grade PH meter. I don't believe the food/soil/aquarium/pool PH meters are accurate enough for this. There is also the issue of calibrating the meter once you have it.

    I hate to do this...

    Wow, it's cool they sent you a new batch. This makes me ponder if there really is an issue? There is a "simple" way to test nicotine level at home based upon PH. This method still involves acquiring Bromothymol Blue, Sulfuric Acid, and some lab equipment to perform the test. There are easier...

    I hate to do this...

    I have a friend here at work who also complained about the nicotine being off, he went back to the analogues because of it. I mix my own juice so can't personally attest to this. He says it was both Melon Explosion and Watermelon 16mg. Maybe pull a few random samples to test out?

    What happened to all the people?

    Hey Sjkader, I kinda was wondering the same thing. After thinking about it, I assume one or more of these to be true: edit* removed link to this forum from website changing demographic due to business expansion newness wore off people here finding DIY to be too much of a hassle forum users...

    Madarine Flavor Extract

    I still have a spot of this left from an order I got a long time ago. I didn't get good flavor with it until around 15% flavor. It didn't leave any greasy residue on my atties so I don't think it's oil based, but who knows for certain?

    1.5ohm dc redux coil head in a vivi nova??

    According to the feedback on this page the redux heads do not fit into the vivi nova. I'm wanting to try one out and waiting so that I can order some replacement all together. Is there an ETA for the Vivi Nova replacements? How about the Neptunes?

    what are imr batteries in comparison to not imr? ?

    I received my 18650 "EH" IMR battery today and just took it off the charger. It's 4.32 volts off the charger with no load, I don't have an easy way to test voltage with load, but the power seems to be pretty good. Seems to be pretty good so far, better power than the "Mars Fire" 18650, more like...

    lack of a comments section when ordering from the new site

    I always put in the order comments: "I have an underpants puppet named mickey." I miss that. lol

    Website Issues?

    Another way to add to the wishlist is to back up to the product list page and click the check-mark icon. Seems to be quicker than the first route I posted. A gripe, the logged in session seems to time out pretty quickly.

    Website Issues?

    Looks like the wishlist is broken or not available right now. The link to it is still at the top and through "My Account" but there doesn't seem to be any way to put anything into the list. (EDIT) Ah, I found it. You have to add to cart first and then add to the wishlist from the shopping cart...

    what are imr batteries in comparison to not imr? ?

    The length of time, or amount of power contained in the charged battery would be designated by the mAh rating (milliamp hours). However if the voltage doesn't drop on the IMR batteries, a 2000mAh IMR battery won't last as long as a Li-Ion battery with the same rating. However the IMR battery in...

    what are imr batteries in comparison to not imr? ?

    I just ordered a 18650 IMR so I'll try to follow up to let you know how it works. IMR = LiMn2O4 (also called LMO) They are an (unprotected?) battery which hopefully have a better discharge profile than regular lithium ion batteries. That is, they should have a higher end voltage. The better...

    Wooden drip tip!

    You should put a finish on it. Rosewood, or an old oak stain with a clear polyurethane. Even mineral oil would look nice, and would have the dual advantage of being non-toxic and keep your lips from sticking to it. Nice job!

    Vinegar?

    Again, I don't know how others can't be having this happening. My flavors are not "expired" and they have always done this. Shouldn't you be interested in results if you ever have the same problem? I've known about malic acid for a while...

    Vinegar?

    I purchased some citric acid from Akins last night as I'm lucky enough to have a store relatively near me: Citric Acid 100% Pure - Now Foods. I couldn't find the canning citric acid, of course this is absolutely the wrong time of year to try to find canning supplies. I wanted to get pure citric...

    The Deed Has Been Started!

    You so need to make your own custom flavor and call it "unicorn tears and butterfly farts". Good read, thanks. LTNS Hoosier. :D

    maltol vs ethyl maltol

    Hmmm, I didn't look that close at TPA. Looks like you are right to me, they have different CAS and FEMA numbers. I would assume from the wikipedia page on maltol that it would gunk up your atty due to the high (not listed) boiling point. An unlisted boiling point usually means it goes strait...

    maltol vs ethyl maltol

    Per the last, the TPA Malto and Ethyl Malto are the same, however Maltol and Ethyl Maltol are different compounds that have some of the same traits. Maltol - Wikipedia Ethyl maltol - Wikipedia Although they are both sweet in aroma, ethyl maltol is more desirable for the purpose of sweetening...
