That is what I use too. I seem to prefer the milkshake type vapes over the custards for some reason. Just another reason vaping is so great... so many choices so everyone can personalize the experience

Stosh had to mention hot sauces. Realized I was low on a few so spent my afternoon trying to find a couple.

Thanks BM!
and to everyone else also, feel free to join us over on the other thread for general chit chat etc. I cant post the link on this contest thread as its against the ecf rules (did it once and it was removed by the mods) but easy enough to find :)
we always enjoy new comments, info and vaperhood! :)

Since I'm not the supplier or anything, maybe it's okay for me to post it???

It started out as a sale thread, but now it's a conversational thread, and we have a really good time there! :)

I hear that once you break the seal, some have had problems with it leaking from the seal, (easy fix, reverse the seal or gasket) but I have not heard of leaking in that area yet. maybe over flooding or juice in the coil?.!

I haven't seen anything on them leaking there either. I got the base cleaned up, made sure the coil is seated good and added some more juice. Was working good. Got the AFC closed off now so I'll see how it does when I get back home.

Of those here that do DIY... what are your thoughts on diacetyl and acetoin?

Personally, I try to avoid them. I have a few flavors here that have them in there and I tend to look for a replacement for those. Most popped up with the testing after I bought them. I don't do lung hits and after the major dilution in the base, I doubt I would have much risk but son does major lung hits and would rather play it on the safe side if possible. They are still fine for cooking and flavoring coffee so they don't go to waste. So what is your thinking on all of this???

I don't obsess over it, but I do try to avoid them as much as possible. For instance, when I buy from CAP, I try to buy V2 rather than V1.

I've already done enough damage to my lungs, so now I am trying to avoid doing more when I can help it. But, if I do get traces of it, I just figure it's better than smoking.

The way i see it,alot of people dont realize it,but cigarettes contain diacetyl as well as all the other stuff,so i have already been inhaling it for the over 25 years that i smoked.Also,when testing has been done on various flavors,the amounts of those bad ingredients were small parts per million,i dont remember the exact numbers,but small,then when you figure how small of an amount of that flavor you put into your juice,then it gets diluted down more with the pg/vg that by the time it's done,your down to a fraction of a percent of what those tests showed,we are talking very minute amounts.I completey understand people who have concerns,but personally i have to many other things to worry about haha.

Ha Ha! yea, it reminds me of a time some years back when the anti smoking Nazi's bussed some young 20's something kids to town to get people to sign anti smoking ban petitions, I went up and asked a group of these kids if they knew they were in the middle of the 5th largest city in America with one of the highest automobile densities in the country and that they were currently sucking in more pollutants than any second hand smoke.... they were surprised. I told them they were just being used to promote an anti freedom of choice agenda...

You are correct. The bad batch appears to have been limited to those with serial numbers beginning in 0002. Mine is 0005, but I tested it anyway. I was really on the fence between the IPV Mini and the Cloupor Mini--the Cloupor won because I found one for ten dollars less than the IPV Mini (since then, the IPV Mini v2 came out, so now I have that to consider... :ohmy:). I think my biggest complaint with the Cloupor Mini is the size of the fire button--I would have liked it to be a little larger, but it's a small complaint. A spring-loaded 510 would have been nice, too, but I can live with it just being adjustable.

I have heard some people complain about the size of the fire button on the IPV's, the new IPV2X has the larger sigelei type fire button. I have been using my IPV more than my Sigelei lately... about 60/40 I also like my 266450 mechs for my 26650 attys, the Plume veil and TOBH with the large chuff caps :)

b.m. and Tick... yeah, I know. Haha, my son isn't 40 yet but I want him in decent health to care for me in my dotage.

I have other stuffs to worry about too but this is just what moms do... or at least this one. Inhaled about 40 yrs here but still, if I can get it a juice just as good without it as I can with.. then I will go without.

Just like radon... sure I have been exposed over my lifetime. I guess it tends to hover about 3 ft or so which puts it at about waist level for me. Just because I am tall and don't go to the basement level of the house often doesn't mean that I don't want to know about it and do something if need be. I had this house tested before I bought it. The realtors here had never heard of it and thought I was crazy... til the test came back. If you know, you can do something about it. We had mitigation done and stick out a test kit every so often and no problems. I believe that many cases of lung cancer are caused by radon but that cigs got blamed, even in those that never smoked a day in their life... even those that claimed 2nd hand may have been exposed to radon. Joe Paterno is one and so was my mother in law. Who can say??? In some states, you have to have homes tested before they can be sold... I think VA is one of those

reminds me of the day after my heart attack an I was in recovery and my cardiologist came in and said "so are you going to quit smoking now" I said of course... actually I quit last night but nicotine/smoking didnt clog my arteries... cholesterol did, I realize the smoking didnt help but be straight with me, not smoking is secondary to my change of diet. you will get further with me if you dont bullspit me...
