    The impatient newbie strikes again...

    I absolutely disagree with this. Both that the homeopathic industry knows what they are doing (except for making money), and that using alcohol as a solvent is wrong. IMO alcohol is on the contrary a very traditional solvent for making tinctures and essences and whatnots. Most of the old old...

    Is the one most to the right the pure VG?

    The impatient newbie strikes again...

    Mine does too - but the ones I've used so far are not nearly as dark as what you are describing, could you maybe take a picture and post it? Also, since you did (at least - I'm a bit feverish from a nasty cold still, not my sharpest this morning) three different extractions, any difference in...

    Syringes and Needles

    I do use a needle - don't know the gauge, but it is a big ... one, 80mm (>3inches) long. I wish I had that length in a few other gauges. Eh, but what I wanted to say is that just by chance I discovered that if you ever use Boge cartos you don't need to use your finger as a stopper to be able to...

    The impatient newbie strikes again...

    Hmm, very interesting. In various old threads on extracting I've seen people mention that they at some point used a few fizzy tablets of vitamin C, but never really explaining why. (I would absolutely not use THAT - all kinds of "crap" in those, for our purposes - I sort of got the impression...

    The impatient newbie strikes again...

    Hi Pete! Very interesting about VG, thanks (I totally missed that when I first read up on Glycerol - extractions weren't really on my radar then). I have a suspicion that with tobacco *water* might be sort of important too - take a look at my pictures in another thread here, plain VG and...

    More flavor !!!! Please!!!!

    THIS. Before you start thinking about using a lot of flavour, experiment with cutting the commercial juices where you find it "just a hint, should be more" with some unflavoured. I started DIYing immediately and have only tried a few pre-made juices, and only one that wasn't zero nic. That one...

    DIY Master Techniques - Steeping

    I'm still very much a newbie, and simply don't have enough experience yet to talk about. But I've been reading voraciously of (mainly) this forum for a few months now, so maybe some theoretical points wrt steeping that I have pondered and picked up may be helpful: IF* you consider steeping an...

    My e-juice starts tasting like crap towards end of day! Any Help?

    I tend to vape different things at different times of day. I mostly only do tobaccos and mint/menthol. For *me* I have found that in the morning I am much more sensitive to sweet, so what tastes a bit too sweet in the morning is good in the evening. I also tend to get in the mood for...

    First attempt at Marlboro Rich SNUS extract

    Yes, keep us posted - and look in on the sub-forum too. Maybe this thread should even be moved there so it is easier to find?

    In search of te perfect cocnut recipe..... 4 attepts thus far and getting frustrated!

    Continuing the OT... ;-) Oh, I totally noticed that - wrt cravings I was doing ok on <5 very quickly, but my general organism was going hay wire. I didn't actually put these things together until I talked with my doc, told her all about the research I had done, about WTAs and my hunt for...

    Tastes like rubber ballon

    I am wondering if this "rubber" might be an aspect of coffee, just as the "animal pee" I've read many people complain about is. Let me explain: Back in the day when I was a teenaged rather new coffee drinker, I fell in love with very dark french-type roasts (rare where I live, especially at...

    Vinegar?

    I was just thinking about this. When I first started vaping (=smoking less) a hanging-on cough from a cold I had had got much worse for the first few weeks. Then it just disappeared, but I still had some amount of congestion. Then that also disappeared one-two weeks ago - about when I started...

    In search of te perfect cocnut recipe..... 4 attepts thus far and getting frustrated!

    This is so OT, but I'm feeling chatty... Hah! "Liquid milkshake" and "half my daily intake" is sometimes a good description of my morning coffee also. Only thing is that I can't stand cream or even half-fat milk in my coffee - I've tried, but it alters the taste from what I get with...

    How to start??

    The menthol is very easy to add yourself. Buy crystals, dissolve in PGA, add by the drop to your mix until satisfied. One option that hasn't been mentioned yet wrt tobacco flavourings is to find some Hangsen concentrates (I don't know if Dekang sells their concentrates, or rather if any...

    pga and vinagar/lemon juice???

    I am rather liberal with the PGA (or high strength vodka), but not really to achieve any effect other than getting every last drop out of a bottle or syringe - or to help with mixing some ingredients (menthol, TA, my own extractions). I can't say I've really noticed any effects from it, good or...

    Ethyl Maltol - how does this taste to you?

    You know what bugs me? I really understand why people would love EM and use it in everything. I was totally anticipating loving it in everything. When I first got my little jar of crystals I just had to open it immediately and taste it. Very strong burnt sugar, yum! I fully anticipated that...

    Vinegar?

    But it is always worth keeping in mind that "Perfectly safe" doesn't necessarily mean one specific individual won't have a sensitivity. White wine is usually perfectly safe, but I know someone who can't drink even half a glass without sneezing for half an hour. Red wine is usually perfectly...

    Ethyl Maltol - how does this taste to you?

    Good point about culture, Hoosier. I think I am a frightful "sugar rat", but it is true that already as close as Sweden I tend to find some things weirdly sweet (bread mainly, their pickled herring is also much sweeter than ours, but that I actually prefer). The thing I find weirdest is that I...

    Coffee flavor?

    I'd absolutely recommend against this. It was very very difficult. Doing it with pure VG and using gentle heat to get it to flow better can't be harder than using Aq. Glyr. As soon as I get a good stash of pure VG (ridiculously hard to find locally) I will try that instead. Getting pure VG to...
