    So you can cook (even a little)? ... you can make ejuice!

    Was a chef for over 30 years - so it is very easy for me to know how much I am using and duplicate it. If you are using a syringe and you lose track of how many drops you put in - drawing a line on the bottle will help you to duplicate it....it definitely helps to use a syringe - know how much...

    So you can cook (even a little)? ... you can make ejuice!

    So you can cook (even a little)? ... you can make ejuice! It's just like seasoning a dish: the base is your main course and the flavors are your seasonings. First order a few flavors that interest you - maybe some you think may go together - but the later is not a necessity. If you like sweet...

    As my sister so eloquently / graciously pointed out: "You had better rethink your timeline sweetie, as you nagged me through most of 2006 and 07 before I finally quit...." .... so consider this a timeline correction ......

    DIACETYL In E-juice And Your Health

    Ordered bases of different strengths and different formulations and all kinds of other products from them since 2008 and have never had a bad experience - even when they didn't have a US location (e-liq.com in CA) and everything was coming from overseas. Sometimes - when dealing overseas -...

    DIACETYL In E-juice And Your Health

    When I started vaping there were 2 flavors - "tobacco" and "mint" - neither being very tasty. When vaping the "tobacco" flavor - really missed the taste of burning things and so knew I would need to make something that had as much (or more) flavor than an actual cigarette if I was ever going to...

    DIACETYL In E-juice And Your Health

    According to Flavour Art: "We realize that for E smokers, our food flavors are used in a different way as they are not ingested but inhaled, and the presence of diacetyl can be a cause of concern. For this reason we have carried out massive removal of diacetyl from our flavor collection since...

    DIACETYL In E-juice And Your Health

    Ordered from Flavour Art for the first time in 2008. Had to order from Italy because you couldn't get their flavors here in the US (they didn't have Flavour Art UK back then either). Although the connection was "secured" - my credit card info. ended up with someone in Thailand who proceeded to...

    Thanks! Last time I purchased from Flavour Art you could only buy their stuff o/seas - but there (hopefully) are US distributors now! Know of any good ones?

    DIACETYL In E-juice And Your Health

    Have purchased from the "big guys" and their flavoring is remarkably inconsistent batch to batch. Sometimes you receive a batch of flavoring that you have to use at least three times as much of to get the same amount of flavor in your juice - so I'm a bit skeptical about the accuracy of the...

    DIACETYL In E-juice And Your Health

    Diacetyl is naturally present in small amounts in food and flavorings such as milk, butter, cream, custards, yogurt, cheese, coffee, honey and most fruits. It is also present in many e-juice flavor extracts and in pre-mixed e-juice. Diacetyl has been linked to lung disease in workers that...

    KR808D-1 Battery Voltages, 2015 Updated Info

    Always liked the V4L Cool Carts for my KR808D-1 If you still use this system on a regular basis would you like some free manual passthroughs? Have 6 of them and they need a loving home - no $$ - postage only. Can't bring myself to throw them away! Three of them have an 8 second cut-off - the...

    New here and....... CONFUSED!

    Just getting some flavored juice with nicotine in a PG / VG (say 70% / 30%) mix might help you a LOT!

    Uggg..I just bought____ now I can't find my charger

    The DSE 901 does use the same charger as the KR808D-1 (or the 808D). V4L sells a really cheap charger that doesn't have any threads - you just stick the battery into the socket. Am sure that would work for you - as I used to use one of those for mine :^) . Good Luck!

    only vaping but tested positive for anabasine

    It would be very helpful to know how long of a period of complete abstinence from vaping is typically needed to bring a person’s levels of Nicotine, Cotinine, Anabasine and Nornicotine down to the point where they could blame passive exposure. Does anyone know – or does it depend largely on...

    Best gourmet ejuice vendors

    Geez - things have sure changed from "back in the day" (2008) when the only place you could get ejuice from was China - the generic type of juice that all kind of tasted the same........ That was why I first got in to DIY - there was next to nothing to choose from (had to DIY to quit the...

    Advice on a new complete setup-- been using entry level parts since I started and want something new/improved

    Welcome! Anywhere that sells ejuice should sell plain / no flavor juice........ you just have to look for the VG! Keep in mind that adding the VG will weaken your flavor a bit - so if you are usually vaping one or two flavors a solution may be to get those flavors (if possible) in all VG...

    Lorann's Orange Oil Advice

    When I started DIY in 2008 there was almost nothing But Loranns to work with - so I used that. There were really no recipes to speak of so I made my own - learning from my mistakes. Still - I never made a batch that wasn't vapeable - and now with Magic Mask and Vape Wizard you can fix up even...
