"Atlanta" Beta Feedback Thread

[olwildbill]

as much as I wanted to try this I'm gonna have to pass (for now) I've been loading up on ACB and I need a couple more bottles this month to put with my 4 I have now. This old cowboy likes ACB and at my age don't need a lot of variety like I did in my youth

I'm sure its a winner Clark and I'm sure I'll br getting some in the near future

{{{{Josh}}}} I have another order that you need to package for me sweetie.

I guess I didn't read all of the beta pool thread so I am not sure what Clark had said. I will say that with a NET, 15ml won't cut it for beta testing. 30 wouldn't either. A NET takes at least 30 days to mature and as long as 2 months. As a rule of thumb when I extract a NET, I let the strained extract sit for at least a month before using it in any liquid. I make two 50ml bottles of liquid, one to hit from day one, and one to put away and try 30 and 60 days later. I have ran out of the everyday bottle on many occasions before I got to 30 days.I have no problem with sending you some of the Atlanta.

Even 60ml is on the light side - it's delicious fresh, but it has a looooong road ahead of it. It's going to be a painfully long beta...

That and It's just that he didn't even follow his own protocol as in the PP thread, that is what wasted my time. I will wait.

Sorry to waste your time, honestly - if I had known it was going to be a big deal I would have, well, I dunno - announced it before we decided to put it up on the website. That said, if $$ is tight - at the rate it's going - it'll likely be up for a month or more... there's a healthy amount of it. I'd obviously love to get your feedback!

Thinking mine should be in the mail this morning. It was 45 miles away at 2:30 am so if it is not here, I won't have far to go retrieve it. I may be able to get a few puffs off of it before I go to jail for breaking into a postal instillation but it will be worth it and the bottle shouldn't have any problems not being empty before 30 days if this were to happen.

I just placed an order, however 6mg is too light for me, so I will be adding about 6.35 ml of 100mg VG base to bring it up to 15mg juice.

Do you know the actual ml of the 60ml bottle? Depending how much they are over filled I might need to up the base a bit to hit 15mg.

They are filled to the shoulder about so I would think you have some room.

I'm of the belief that steeping happens faster in smaller quantities (many have argued with me) so you could spilt in two, measuring on the way and have an exact ml...and get a faster steep.

A wise woman taught me that *cough cough* Don... and I believe it works, too.

Great idea. I can see the argument and I think it would depend on what really happening with a steep.

If it's time for the ingredients to mix and react with each other then it probably won't help. However if the gas exchange with the air plays a larger factor in the steep then more surface area for that gas exchange could quicken the steep.

I really think people who can mess with the nicotine levels are very cool. I wish I could do that. If I could do that I would've been all over that peach tobacco. Do you mess with the nicotine levels often? Does it change the juice profile much?

Just shake well before decanting to make sure each batch is fully mixed.

Show off! But I like it!

I showed that bottle months ago. It has been in the making for around 6 months now and it has finally hit a beta level. Time to rewick and give it a work out.

Changing nicotine levels ain't rocket science with a good calculator and/or basic math skills. But doesn't adding maxvg change the proportions of the original liquid ratio mix?

More nicotine doesn't add to or subtract from the flavor. The only thing it does is add throat hit. Honestly, I can't vape anything over 6mg on a sub ohm build in a dripper or I get coughing fits. When I started vaping in 2008, I was using 48mg, and after one bottle went down to 36. Now you can't find either one of those strengths.

Yes, it will balance it out to around a 50/50 level depending on the amount added and the original strength.

Thanks for your reply. I might try it one of these days.
