    Pregnancy and Vaping

    I'm not a doctor, but I would say it's probably not worth the risk. No one yet knows the effect of vape on the vaper him or herself, much less the effect of vape on an embryo or fetus. I think most doctors would tell you to avoid all drugs, including nicotine, alcohol and caffeine while trying...

    Hello Guys Im starting my advernture to stop smoking cigs!

    My tobacco flavors make me cough no matter how mild they are. I don't cough immediately, but within an hour or so I begin to cough at every hit. I switch to something else and the cough goes away. I think there is something in those particular flavor additives that just doesn't agree with me...

    I'm about to start Diy liquid What am i missing in chemicals & equipment I should have.

    Notebook or index cards for recipes. Labels. I agree that syringes are much better for measuring/mixing than cylinders and pipettes. Also agree about funnels. Flavor additives are a must, I'm finding out the hard way. Sweetener, tart and sour, vape wizard, bitter wizard, EM and menthol if you...

    How to make a flavor less "candy-ish"?

    Thank you. I found something called "Tart and Sour" but didn't see "Sweet and Sour". Is it the Tart and Sour that I want? - Peggy

    How to make a flavor less "candy-ish"?

    I'm doing fairly well mixing single flavors (yay me!), but I'm wondering how to make the flavor less candy-ish. I'm using Flavor Arts - black cherry, blackberry, etc and they are very nice but I'd prefer a bit less of a candy taste and more of a fruit taste. Is there something I can add to make...

    Doublechecking before ordering and mixing.

    Make sure you order some bottles! I forgot those on my first DIY order. I have no idea what I was thinking (or not, as it were). :)

    Hi All, Vaping for 4 weeks now, but have question regarding throat issue - need help and/or opinions

    #1 - Often the first symptom of dehydration is headache. Well actually, the first symptom of dehydration is thirst - if you are thirsty you are already dehydrated. Up your water intake until you can't stand water anymore, then drink some more. Fluctuating nicotine levels will also cause headache...

    Vaping has saved me!

    I feel the same way, CG. Every time someone at work asks me for a cigarette or a light and I say, "I'm sorry, I don't smoke cigarettes anymore", I just feel.....ecstatic and happy and proud that I can make that statement after trying so many times to kick my 35+ year analog habit. I still can't...

    How were you introduced to vaping?

    Several month ago, co-workers started showing up in the smoke break area with e-cigs. Each week there were more and more of them. These are diehard smokers, like me, and I was watching them all quit analogs using the e-cigs. No one had fancy ones (I didn't even know there were fancy ones); they...

    My first E-cig

    Hi Titan2 and congrats on your decision to give up analogs! I too quit them the day I picked up an e-cig (Mistic, which sucked in comparison to my eGo, but it got me off analogs). I'm glad you're happy with your Tornado and I wish you the very best of luck with it. I'm 15 days off analogs and...

    help with adding more nic to juice please

    If you are starting with 50mg nic and want to make 30ml of 20mg nic the formula is: Nic = 12ml PG = 18 ml All droppers are different so you need to figure out how many drops = 1ml with the dropper you are using. I'd use a syringe or a cylinder to measure 30ml - that's way too many drops for...

    Flavor Extract ingredients

    Many ejuice flavoring and juice are alcohol based. I imagine that warning statement was placed on the product because someone was unwise enough to actually put undiluted extract directly in an atomizer and got a logical and unhappy result.

    Are oils completely out of the question or is there a way to work with them?

    I thought there might be some trouble with the citrus oils. Thanks, Calypso. I'm going to try Peppermint oil, Hoosier. I guess I'll just start at 2% and see what happens. I love Peppermint.

    Are oils completely out of the question or is there a way to work with them?

    Thank you! I do use 50% VG. So do I mix the oil with the PGA then add it to the mix? Is there a ballpark ratio? Thank you so much. You are very helpful. - Peggy

    diy tastes "dry"

    I just received the TPA sweetener. Is 1-2% about right for that when mixing fruit flavors? Thanks.

    Are oils completely out of the question or is there a way to work with them?

    Wondering if oils can be used at all. In the lists I see the oils are referenced as "not water soluble". Does that mean unusable in ejuice? I'm wondering specifically about peppermint, lemon and tangerine. Can they be dissolved in PGA and then added to juice maybe?

    Suggestions for kick azz peppermint?
