Oh man its gonna get deep may need a bigger shovel and a fire hose,Uncle what do you think?

Although a Fire hose might work for the final clean-up & wash down . . . :)

IMO - I Don't Know If Just A Shovel Can or Will Handle It All . . . ;)


How about using a

http://arthritis.about.com/b/2007/0...joint-destruction-in-rheumatoid-arthritis.htm Take a look. Strange how smoking can be a contributing factor to getting RA but once you have it ,it can slow its progression.

Guess I better be thinking and learning this DIY stuff.

Raynes, I decided to give DIY a try, but I'm taking a very simple, very lazy approach. I ordered some 12mg nic base from Wizard Labs (80pg/20vg), and a few flavors. Also ordered a few flavors from Capella. I think all I have to do is transfer small amounts into bottles and work out the amount of flavor to add. One of the flavors I ordered from Capella is the Vanilla Custard, because I think that's one Rave said was very good.

Please let me know how it works out for you, I'm still leery of DIY myself b/c at one time I was a speed addict not by choice but by circumstances. Nicotine is a stimulant and I can easily seeing me bumping up that nic level

Just know that I'll always give you a hand if you need it. Although .... you wouldn't want to try my flavor percentages! :facepalm: :laugh:

Rave,you MAY want to rethink that offer.Have you forgotten how many questions I had when I first started vaping? I sure would like to hear some of your vaping stories though I bet you have tons of those as long as you've been vaping

Please do elaborate the not by choice part? I only ask because that nasty stuff was how I got my Road Name back in the 70s (which has stuck all these years) and it was by choice and then some. It's a wonder I made it to the 80s.

I didn't want to fool with cutting down nicotine, at least on my first attempt. That's why I ordered the 12mg base. It was still very reasonable, 11.49 for 250 mls. I've been using 18mgs but am cutting down to 12mg with the dessert flavors, which is all I'm going to attempt making right now.

When I first started vaping I got 24mg but found it too strong, even though I smoked 2 ppd. 18 mgs works fine and I have a few dessert flavors that are only 9mg. When I add flavor to the 12mg base it will drop it down a little.

Raynes, remember that Raven warned you. Her percentages lean on the high side.

That's understated even for you, Blues. :laugh:

I have such a terrible sense of taste that there are actually nicquids that I mix up with 70% flavor. My taste buds never really came back after 42 years of smoking. :rolleyes:

70% YIKES, I guess it would be safe to say you have less taste buds than I do brain cells. :D

18mg is about my limit, I started with 24mg and it made me dizzy (don't say it Raynes). A lot of my coffee mixes I keep between 8mg and 12mg. The strongest I've ever vaped (quite by accident) was 100% when I was interrupted by my daughter while mixing. I took about two vapes and almost coughed up a lung and then I saw the other 4 empty 10ml bottles and realized what I had done. That was early in my mixing endeavor and it taught me several lessons.

Well back then Officer I was divorced.going for my LPN,trying to raise two kids,working as a horse trainer and racing on the rodeo circuit.I did at the time what I thought I had to do to keep going and survive.After I graduated from LPN school I gave up barrel racing,worked as a nurse and a trainer for awhile.Gave up professional training when I went to RN school. After getting my RN degree I quit the speed.
So that's my boring life in a nutshell
