    LB Basic Salt

    I'm new to DIY and have been using Liquid Barn's bases (premixed PG/VG/nic) in 12mg (regular) and 24mg (salt) to get started. I'm learning a lot as I go and have a growing collection of decent liquids I've made from online recipes and experimentation. However, I'm having some problems with my...

    Questions about switching from smoking to vaping

    I made the switch from smoking to vaping six weeks ago. It's been a surprisingly effortless transition, though I'm still getting used to it and haven't found my ADV yet. Since I switched, I have noticed that my sense of smell improved, climbing stairs is a little easier, and I feel a little...

    New Member, Vaper, & Ex-smoker

    Hi everyone! Thank you for having me. I quit smoking and started vaping about five weeks ago. I smoked for over 20 years (20-30 unfiltered RYO American Spirits a day for the past several years) but I've been getting along fairly well with nic salts and pod systems the past few weeks. Anyway...
