question about the dripper, can I drip right through the top of it or do I need to pull the top off to drip more into it. I think I need more wick in it too but it works pretty good and tastes great. Any deficiency I think is lack of knowledge on my part. I dry burned it before putting the wick in then after wicking it and putting some juice in it I burned it a little just to see how it worked and it really puts out the vapor. It's a learning curve I guess.

Yeah, that one has a wide bore tip, so you can just drip right through it if you want...I always removed the cap so I could see what I was doing better and get the wicks saturated...it is a learning curve...it takes some trial and error to figure out how much wick you need, the right amount of airflow, etc...just play around with it till you get it where you want it.

well..managed to fry the dna board..to much tinkering with the switches when building I suppose..to much heat from repeated soldering.. *sigh* I dunno..*wonders off into the corner*

That sucks. I hope you just get more determined than ever and give it another whirl...once you're finished sulking in the corner, of course. :D

depends on the dripper.. with my magma, i can just take the drip tip off... but i could drip through the DT. with most rdas i like to pull the entire top 'cap' off and drip and then put it back on...

better luck next time bc practice makes perfect. :D

Morning, gpc and everyone.

I tried something new this morning. I may have mentioned (Or not. I don't remember. I often mention lots of different stuff to lots of different people.) that I had to stop using sugar in my coffee, like my grandpa taught me, when they diagnosed me with type 2 diabetes.

I started mixing up 60ml of water in a dropper bottle with about 17 grams of pure sucralose I get from one of the e-juice flavoring suppliers. It works out to 1 drop being about equal in sweetness to 1 teaspoon of sugar. This turns out to be WAY CHEAPER than buying bags of Splenda or any of those other commercial products and it's much more convenient as well. I don't know how many drops there are in a 60ml bottle, but it's a bunch. The first bottle has lasted about 3 months and I'm not the only one using it.

Anyway, today I decided to add about ~3ml of Bavarian Cream flavoring I had left over in one of those 8ml vials from Wizard Labs to the mixture and it's delicious. I'm inspired to try some other flavorings like hazelnut or maybe some more complex recipes next time.

Whooda thunk vaping would have lead to such a pleasantly economical discovery?

yeah, it's just seems more brutal cause of how long I had to save up to get all that stuff, but things break, you're mopey for a few hours, and life goes on.. But hey, April, tax returns, definitely gonna try again.

We have faith in ya, meka. You'll get it next time.

I did an irish flavored coffee one day with my whiskey flavoring it was alright, but nothing to write home about. :D

If the plate were a donut it would be perfect. Three or four more of these and I'll be set for the day. I'll need to filter fat out of my blood, but set just the same.

what s that in the center? is it gravy?


and awesome iml8! i know a vendor (walt at KJ) that has recipes using his flavors to make stuff to eat that he swears will blow away conventional recipes. it is interesting how our focused learning in a specific skill set can sometimes unintentionally cross over into other areas that we never thought about initially.
