DIY Flavoring Thread - Part 2

[stashbldr]

Jewels .. I've never used the NF Caramel Cream, just ordered it the other day. I currently use FW Caramel Cream, with FA Cookie, TPA Bavarian Cream and a little Sweet Cream. My mix is carto friendly but I only use a total of 4 1/2% flavoring .. so that may be why my cartos last .. 4-5 days vaping about 7ml a day thru one .. so on average about 30ml per carto. Even then it doesnt gunk up my carto, but by then my carto doesnt hold the juice as well so I ditch it.

I don't know what strength to mix the NF at, I will probably start around 5% .. Bovinia mixes hers at 20% and says it is carto friendly, so if mixing mine at 5% doesnt work then I'll go up to 10% and see how that is. NF has not shipped my order yet though.

 

[my4jewels]

I tend to go heavy on flavors, so I'd prolly go 20% like Bovinia. The only flavorings I find satisfying at "normal" percentages are the TE and FE. Usually, creamy type flavors are carto killers, so I will be looking forward to trying some of these. Do you vape your cartos in a tank?

 

[stashbldr]

yes on the tank .. have tried clearos and other methods but always end up back with a Boge in a tank

 

[my4jewels]

Same here. I've been using Smoktech sr cartos, and I find they are lasting longer than my old stock Boge. Hubby and I prefer them now. Once I found carto tanks, I haven't seriously considered anything else. My son, daughter in law, and one of my son's good friends have all started vaping. They started right out with a VV device and carto tanks.

Does anyone know if the NF butter or custard flavors have diacetyl notes?

 

[stashbldr]

Dont think I've ever tried an SR Smoktech, just the 1.7 ones. Recently bought some of the mini 1.7 Smoktech's so I could test new DIY juices in them .. they are little and cute as can be, they work great too, I was surprised how well they work. Where do you get the SR Smoktech's, I only ever see them pre-punched but I like to punch my own.

Jewels, I was told almost 2 years ago by NF that anything that has diacetyl in it naturally (butter, cream, etc.) their flavorings will contain trace amounts of since they are organic and natural.

I use a carto tank as well...usually a Fusion carto, but I will use boges if I run out of Fusions.

 

[my4jewels]

Yeah, I've got some of those little 1.7 minis to use on my Bogger Boxmod, which is a bottom feeder. They are so cute.

I think it was Stormy's Vapor Cellar that I got sr Smoktech cartos, just to try them. This was right in the middle of Bogegate, and I wanted to try something different. We usually order right from the source, and I didn't want to get stuck with 100's of questionable cartos. We liked them so much that we ordered 1000 directly from Somktech. We both prefer them now. When priming them before putting them in a tank, they need a bit more juice.

Thanks for the info. So far, I have decided to stay clear of anything with daicetyl notes, so I guess I won't get those flavors.

Remember many flavorings crack Polycarbonate tanks, but not Polypropylene ones.

 

[my4jewels]

Thank you. Yes, I have modded all of my tanks to polypropylene tubes. I started a list a long time ago of juices and flavorings that have been known by someone to crack or damage polycarbonate tanks. If anyone hasn't seen it, just look here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tanks/219179-lets-make-list-juices-flavors-crack-tanks-ce2s-clearos.html. I just updated it in post #323.

I was exclusive Boge & Tank user myself but I really like the Kanger T3's. Its the closest to dripping Ive come and my wick has lasted up to 3 weeks. I usually rinse them out with hot water and give it some dry burns until the crud comes off. I got 25 flavors from RTS coming in today dont even know where to start lol.

After using my Kanger T3 for 24 hrs I wasnt crazy about it. I then removed the 2 extra wicks that lay on top of the coil .. it improved it a little but not that much. So then I took it apart, cleaned and dry burned the coil, noticed a hot spot so adjusted the coil a little .. and then did what Sdh suggested .. I removed the little plastic cup that sits ontop of the atty. Then it flooded. So then I put those 2 extra wicks back on but still did left the plastic cup thing off .. voila, it's wonderful now. Vaping it on my Provari all day today and it's great, much better than it was when that little pastic cap thing was on. Thanks Sdh.

Dang ! Did you order some Tuscan Reserve?
It's a great cigar flavor. I still need to get the FA Cuban. I thought I hated it. I found out over a year later that some ding dong sent me flavor west. LOL

I tried that with my t3 and still all i get is burnt plastic taste can't even stand to be in the same room with it now

I am glad it worked for you. I did some trial an error and found that was the horrid taste-plastic. Right now I am still vaping on a Innokin dual coil I picked up at Stormy's. I like them but figured this will be it until they improve the design some. The screw in black cap strips before the first coil burns out. I am on my last coil so I will be going back to the T-3s. LOL I could use some duct tape or maybe electrical tape.

Did you clean it as well? Unless you got the crappy t3s floating out there.

Hey Sparky. Did you get the Terminator yet? That looks good. I might get one soon.

 

[sparkyth67]

yeah I emptied and ran it under warm water for a while also cleaned out the tube with warm water still tastes awful but then I never liked the t2 either it was just too airy the t3 was better on that but still just the plastic taste was awful

I haven't dove in yet Jimi I was on a thread for a co-op but they were only taking 50 since they weren't sure of the supplier I believe there was another co-op as well but not sure
