    Still early, but so far so good

    LOL I just moved to Pennsylvania about three years ago. I lived in Jacksonville, Florida for 16 or so years. I'm about three hours to maybe three and a half hours away from Pittsburgh. I love it here, so peaceful and quiet. It was a struggle just to live in Jacksonville with all of the...

    Still early, but so far so good

    No problem, hun! Yeah, I should have worn gloves for my first try, but the ones the One Stop DIY Shop sent me were too big, so I kept knocking the bottles over, which is bad when working with nicotine concentrate. LOL I was just extra careful after I took the gloves off. This batch that I...

    Still early, but so far so good

    Yeah, that sounds like VG. If I had the money for shipping, I'd send you a spare bottle I have for you to try. I do the DIY thing. It's super fun, and I always get the nicotine level that I need this way. Right now, I'm at a comfortable 13mg/ml. I buy 48mg PG nicotine liquid, a bottle of...

    Still early, but so far so good

    For a good test for whether its PG or VG, drip a little onto your fingers. If it feels slimy, like oil, its most likely got a high VG content. If its runny, almost like water, its got a high PG content.

    Have you heard any good vaping jokes.

    I've been trying to think of some for almost an hour now. Someone's mind on this forum has to have a funny bone about these little gadgets! So, in the spirit of fun, I'm giving this a shameless bump.

    Need advice on a non-propylene glycol e-juice

    It may just be me and my experiences with VG, but "Thinner and lighter" usually means its been cut with PG. VG is extremely thick on its own.

    Soo much to choose from

    Personal preference, though. I personally didn't like the 510. This is where experimentation comes into place.

    Dentist

    So, I went to my dentist for a cleaning today. I was in the exam room, vaping away, and the hygienist didn't even seem to notice. Then the dentist came in after my cleaning, and he asked me how my smoking was going. I haven't seen him since last December, so he hadn't known about my personal...

    Soo much to choose from

    I agree wholeheartedly. I think February might get me a 510 with an LR atty. Maybe March if I need February's cash for more DIY juice. I don't see myself needing any in January, as I made a bunch this month. Only reason I'd make more juice next month is if I stepped down my nicotine. I'm at...

    Soo much to choose from

    Well, I've never seen a roughstack, so I don't know about those. I did find a nice, very pretty Chuck on the classifieds. If I can get the money before she sells it to someone else, that Chuck will be my first ever mod. I kinda gave up on the Leo, and even more so since resist specified about...

    End cap jewels/ring light. Getting carried away again...

    I want to do something like this, but I have no craft stores within 50 miles of me that I know of. *Sigh* I'll check into the Quartz on Ebay. $2 isn't that bad. I have 4 KR808D-1 batteries that need de-uglied. And, of course, if it weren't for MistressNomad's videos in the newbie section, I...

    Holy Catmas and Pez oh my.......

    That... is the cutest thing ever. Both of them are. I would have never thought to do anything like this.

    Just got my KR808D-1 and no vapor!

    I'd do that, but I'm slightly allergic to the permanent markers. Writing on the condoms keeps the permanent marker stuff from getting close enough to my nose to smell. I guess covering it with the tape would keep me from an attack, but I don't want to chance it. Glad to hear you've been...

    1 Week going good, some questions..

    I may end up losing the cartomizers and going back to an atty and carts. I miss being able to fill without worrying about killing the atomizer. I've also seen some pretty simple mods for the carts to enhance the experience, such as blue foam filler and springs. I'm not happy with the...

    1 Week going good, some questions..

    Well, I found my right mix of nicotine in less than 15 minutes by mixing my own. So that's done. My next project will be to stalk the makers of the Ali'i so that I can get one next month or so. That's the only mod I'm really interested in at the moment. Its gorgeous, and it looks comfortable...

    Just got my KR808D-1 and no vapor!

    Oh no, hunnie. Check out the DIY section of the forums for more information. There's some chemistry involved. My current recipe, which I enjoy is: 4.06ml PG Nicotine Base 7.94ml Dilutant (I use 20% VG and 80% PG) 3ml LorAnn's Oils Candy Flavoring That comes out to be about 15ml of e-juice.

    The Vapor King

    Thank you SO MUCH for showing me this video! I'd heard of condom filling from others, and have read how its done, but I was worried about overfilling and whatnot. I was also worried about ruining the carto. Seeing it done just blows my mind and suddenly I want to fill every carto I have. LOL...

    Is it possible for a battery to make the carto taste burnt?

    No, there was no popping. Just the burnt taste. I've tried several cartos, and the burnt ones taste fine on the other three batteries. I don't think its the cartos. I could be wrong, but that's my assumption from some of the troubleshooting I've done. I e-mailed my problem to...

    Is it possible for a battery to make the carto taste burnt?

    I'm not sure I can handle the burnt taste for a full day. It pretty much tastes like I'm vaping motor oil (the old black kind, not the new amber kind). I have three good batteries, so I consider myself lucky that they all work at least somewhat. I'm just wondering if I should press the manual...

    Is it possible for a battery to make the carto taste burnt?

    Seriously. I've had this KR8 for most of the day. I charged all four batteries. I mixed my e-juices. I tried out the root beer, but it tasted burnt. So, I thought it was a bad carto. I filled another blank carto with the root beer. It tasted burnt. I just got done vaping some Raspberry...
