Ok thanks for the help folks. Will call Doc tomorrow and tell him I've been vaping Atomic Cyanide and have developed blisters in my mouth.
Maybe he will suggest smoking tobacco instead since we know nothing about the health effects of vaping.

Is it just me or do y'all find the yellow teeth to be fitting for summer time? I mean, the sun shines a lot in the summer and it's yellow, so I should walk around smiling and showing off my spirit of summer! :D

They should be brown after Labor Day, so that'll be totally in fashion!

I think if you take some leaves and soak them in nic liquid you will have some awesome DIY tobacco, maybe try oak leaves?? Would give a nice woodsy flavor, then try rolling them in mini cigar shapes. I think you could have a new product!! Hmmm better check and see if oak leaves are poisonous tho, not sure! Oh and definitely add WTA if you have some.

OK, now that I've gotten the box mod completely figured out thanks to the wonderful people on this forum (really, you guys are the bees knees!), I realize that I have several hundred feet of silica wick, Kanthal, non-resistance wire, and stainless mesh. I also have 15 gallons of 100mg nic in my freezer, and a 55 gallon drum each of VG and PG, plus several thousand different flavoring vials. Can these be repurposed, or should I just throw them away? (I have turned my 2000 18650 batteries into a servicable home power backup, in case there's a hurricane this season) Hints or tips?

Is this what you are doing? Looks like an amazing TH! Flamethrower.jpg

I have a problem. My mouth has recently become full of blisters. I started stuffing my mouth with the leftover bits of tobacco from the bottom of cigarette packs and the tidbits from smoked cig-butts and lighting it. The throat hit and flavor is out of this world but my mouth gets burned every single time. Can someone help a noob out and tell me what I'm doing wrong please!

Well, I took your advice and soaked some leaves I raked up in my yard in some nic liquid. Unfortuantely, oaks don't do so well down here in the Keys, so I just used whatever was in the yard. Once it was dried and rolled, it did make a great DIY cigar alternative. I am somewhat concerned that some of the leaves may have fallen from this tree, though. Lighting one up now! I love DIY!!!

You may need some WD-40 on hand just to be safe! Let us know in 4 days how you are doing!

OMG this thread is the gift that keeps on giving! Thanks to all the people on this great forum I am now a smoker. I decided to jump right to a bic light with a NASCAR picture on it and some cowboy killers. I plan on waiting for a blemished mini cigar as I have small hands. Any suggestions on color for my mini cigar? Also what would be the best fire delivery device? Would not want to use a cheap Bic with a mini cigar that isn't classy at all!

I love how the article goes into such detail, but has no picture of the tree! How am I supposed to find one?

Good for you for jumping in with both feet! While your selection is somewhat adequate, I feel I have enough experience (at least two days) to recommend you throw that crap out and get a box mod. Then just get a cigar.

You can put that wick to good use. Just get all the ends of the cigarettes and roll them gently into a bowl. Use one that you like to eat out off as the flavor of your honey nut cheerios will be improved greatly.
Then, take a needle and thread and carefully sew each partially burned piece of tobacco onto the wick. Make sure you alternate with the burnt bits and the fresh bits - otherwise the TH will be too much.

Wrap that wick into a bit of vivi nova carton you have lying around and Voila - a fresh pack of Benson and hedges - just add the matches and you are back in business.

(*honestly a song I love!)


Oh God I feel old and obscure. The video starts and I'm thinking, that's Jean Seberg. Why do I know this???? I've seen Breathless a total of once in the 1970s*, yet I immediately recognized it. I suppose it's iconic, but it must be generationally, geographically and academically specific. I wouldn't recognize an episode of That 70s Show if you hit me with a DVD.


*(for BB) It was at the NuArt.
