    What GG Do I Have?

    Hi all. Can someone help me out here? I bought it between 2 and 3 years ago from a supplier that GG no longer uses and can't remember the model name. I quit vaping so am looking to list it in the classifieds but don't know what it is or how to describe it ( nickel plated? stainless steel? )...

    I Forgot to Vape ... For a Month.

    Okay, this is weird. I've been vaping less and less over time and finally got to the point that I was just vaping for an hour or two during morning coffee. This wasn't the plan, believe me. I'm sitting on 10 years worth of cartos that I purchased in fear of the government cracking down on...

    ... And I'm Screaming "it's Alive! It's ALLIIVVEE !!!"

    So it was a typical stormy night for me. At the first flash of lightening and the attending stroke of thunder, I put on my white smock, pull out my DIY supplies and get to it. As I finish each recipe, I hold it up to shake it while shouting " Its alive! It's ALLIIVVEE !!!" while the...

    What's the Longest You've Gone Without Spending Money on Vaping?

    There have been countless threads over the years regarding how much money we've all spent on vaping but let me ask you this - what's the longest period of time that you've gone without spending a single penny on vaping? As of tomorrow, I personally will have gone six full months without...

    Are You Getting Better at DIY or Do You Just Have a Bad Memory?

    Been DIY'ing for a year now and haven't bought a single drop of eliquid from a vendor. It seems that my DIY efforts get better and better over time but now I'm starting to wonder if I just plain forgot how great commercial liquids are and am just being impressed by small gains in my DIY...

    Great Vapes That Stink to High Heaven

    Whether commercially sold eliquids or DIY concoctions, I'm sure we all have a favorite vape or two that, unfortunately, stink to high heaven. My worst offender is a DIY juice made from Capella's Chocolate Coconut Almond. What a great vape! But alas and alack, I must vape it when I am alone...

    Anybody Else Planning to Lose Weight This Year?

    Okay, I've got my smoking under control (almost 2 years now), and now it's time to lose some weight. Over the past 20 years, I've gone from being a 175 lb marathon runner to a 230 lb slob. So my goal for 2013 is to lose 40 pounds and I just joined one of the many online calorie counting free...

    Lemon Juice That Won't Spoil

    After procrastinating for some time, I finally got around to adding concentrated lemon juice (from those plastic lemon shaped containers) in my fruit mixes and really like the effect it has. Unfortunately, this product is supposed to be refrigerated after opening which doesn't give me a great...

    When Will the Number of Vapers Outnumber the Number of Smokers in the USA?

    The number of people in this country who smoke has leveled off at roughly 20% of the population in recent years. The number of ecig users is currently low by comparison but growing by leaps and bounds. When, if ever, will the number of vapers outnumber the number of smokers?

    One Year Anniversary Today - Thank You V4L and V4L'ers!

    Well, first of all, sorry I don't come around this neck of the woods much anymore. In the past few months, I have pretty much migrated to other products and gotten into DIY for juice and so I came to neglect this particular subforum over time. But I would be horribly remiss if I did not come...

    Triacetin Doesn't Seem To Play Well With Others

    Based on the positive reviews of a few people here, I decided to mix up a bottle of TPA Honeysuckle a few days ago. I haven't vaped it yet as I'm still intrigued as to what's going on in the bottle. When undisturbed, the contents of the bottle; 60% pg, 30% vg and 10% Honeysuckle seem clear...

    Stuck on an Island, Which Flavors Would You Take?

    Don't worry about equipment on your shipwrecked island as The Professor will have plenty on hand. He will also be able to make the sweetener of your choice from coconuts and island plants. Your duty however is to have 5 or less flavors that will get you through the many years. Which do you...

    Winter is Coming!

    Last night's weather forecast was for some pretty cold temperatures headed our way - highs in the 40's. That got me to thinking, what do y'all do when you need flavors and other liquids in the middle of winter. Do you order away and thaw out the frozen bottles when you get home from work (if...

    The Laws of DIY

    I have only been DIY'ing a short time, but already certain laws are manifesting themselves to me: Law #1 - When you come upon an interesting recipe, you will always be missing one, and only one, ingredient. Law #2 - When ordering a myriad of supplies and flavors, you will always omit one...

    Why Do You DIY?

    For me, DIY is just plain empowering. No more worrying about my vendor being on vacation or my favorite flavors being temporarily out of stock - or even worse, discontinued. No more wondering if my "mom and pop" vendor enthusiastically scratched a persistent .... itch just before making my...

    "I Wish I Could Quit You V4L"

    If I may quote a line from the famous movie Brokeback ECF - "I wish I could quit you V4L". Since joining this forum 6 months ago, I don't think that there is a time that I have turned on my computer without checking out what's going on in this sub forum. Sure, I bounce around the other sub...

    I can't believe it, has it really been six months? My how time flies when you have such so much fun and such great support here at V4L. I want to thank ECF for hosting such a great forum, V4L for getting me off those nasty analogs with such ease, and you guys and gals for keeping me on the...

    Do Peach Cobbler Cartomizers Make My .... Look Big?

    Perhaps the title of this thread is a bit misleading as I don't really have a weight problem, but I am concerned about developing diabetes at some point in the future as I've always had somewhat of a sweet tooth. I was hoping that vaping desert type flavors would help me cut down a bit on...

    What If You Caught Your Kid Vaping?

    You know, in the four months that I've been vaping, it has never occurred to me until today that one day my teenage son might find my device and give it a go. And I got to wondering what exactly my reaction would be if I caught him vaping - after the initial shock of course. Even though I have...

    Why do BWB Juices Seem To Improve With Age While Other Supplier's Juices Deteriorate?

    Well, it's happening again. My latest BWB juices (MT and Blueberry) just keep getting better and better with age. Both are now six weeks old and while the Malty Toffee is leveling out after a big jump in flavor last week, the Blueberry has just now made a big jump in flavor intensity - at 6...
