DIY Flavoring Thread - Part 2

[ToweKnee]

Sorry so many of you having issues. The Kanger I had that gave me a ton of problems was the one with two air holes. Once I picked some from the coop that had three air holes I had no problems. When I remove the flavor quick is when it leaks on me. I just put some cotton in there and good to go if I lose that extra wicking.

Hahaaa Rl! I have way too much tinkering to do for my mother in law around this old house. Tonight we discovered the faucet stem on the kitchen sink is dripping, so I told her I'd go get a new faucet to put in. She wants to call a plumber instead Tomorrow will be digging out from a foot of snow.

So yeah, just gimme my tanked carto and let me get busy! The T3 did let me get my B'n M groove on tho

I like to mess around with them (when I actually have the time) because it helps to take my mind off of things and i've always like to tinker. It took me a while to get the hang of it though. Now I have the same problems with these that I do with flavors (always looking for the ones I dont have!!!). I just managed to get my first good setup with a dual #500 mesh wick and it's absolutly ridiculous how well it performs.

Hi Ho Hi Ho it's back to cartos I go

Haha, you got that right Stash!! Sorry...I got my panties in a wad there for a bit

I don't care about tossing the T3, but it ...... me off to lose a tank full of B'nM!!

Hmmm, this one only has 2 air holes. Ahh well, I don't like the bottom coil anyway...too cool a vape for me.

ETA nope I was wrong, this one is a 3 hole'r.

well my t3 is probably gonna get tossed as well I emptied it last night and let it soak all night dried it out today and yuck still burning plastic

Mine have 3 holes .. they arent leaking, they just seem weaker to me .. even put it on a Provari at 4.5 and didnt want to go any higher cuz the juice was just on the fringe of tasting burnt, at 4.3 it was good but not as "full tasting" as a carto.

LOL...I don't know if I am laughing at you guys or myself as these are items I would like to try, but waiting to win the lottery!!!! Then when I see the negativity about them I think well maybe I will win the lottery before the next new and best comes along.... I do like to tinker though.....

Ha ha Toto .. I am not only laughing at myself, but kicking myself too. I promised myself long ago that I would not fall for all the "hype" when new things come out .. and I kept that promise for a long time .. but then I fell victim to the Kanger T3, it was the bottom coil that did me in, loved that idea .. please put me out of my misery and just shoot me.

Tinkering and vaping go hand in hand. Every atty I buy, I modify.

I tried the Kanger sr cartos in my tank. I wasn't too fond of them. They are too cool for me, but great for someone who likes a coller vape. Me, I like it warmer.

 

[Bovinia]

At least my T3 didn't cost me anything. I can't discuss business outside of our sub forum or the supplier forum...but you all know who I work for

 

[Shilo]

Ok I broke down tonight and placed an order with ecigexpress--- believe it or not I actually seem to miss a thing or two every time I order. Don't know how because I like to get to that free shipping amount. Anyways, I mean it this time, lmao, I am set for awhile

 

[FranC]

I've got to get my .... in gear and place an order myself. Anything new and great I should try??

Indeed! That FA Apple Pie is kickin.

It's my favorite non tobacco flavor. I chain vape this stuff till I feel like I drank a pot of espresso.

I bit the bullet for some nf flavors. I got caramel cream, butterscotch 3x, and bubble gum.

Thanks to the tips on this thread I finally got to try some Nature's Flavors. The butterscotch, caramel cream and kona cream are fantastic.

I did have to mix with extra VG even after evaporating some of the alcohol. Totally worth it. One of my original goals in DIY was to go organic, but my own extracts have sucked. I'm a fan now. I'd love it if ECx would get these.

I have some coffee and butter rum on the way now. Can't wait.

Wonderful to hear this. I ordered the Butterscotch and Caramel Cream a week ago .. they havent shipped yet, waiting. Would love to know what method you used to evaporate the alcohol? And what % did you use when you made the juices?

For the evaporation, I used a modified version of Bovinia's tips. I dumped the flavoring into a Pyrex glass and put that in a very very hot water bath for several hours and let the alcohol evaporite. Then put it back in the bottle. It seems to have lost about 25 to 30% of the overall volume.

So far, I've mixed everything at 10%. That's without any serious steeping time, since I have a cold coming on and I had to hurry and try everything before I lost my sense of taste. Didn't want to miss out on the free shipping

 

[stashbldr]

Thank for for answering my questions, I'm going to do mine like you did yours .. can't wait. Did yours taste good right away, even without steeping? Did you like both the Butterscotch and the Caramel Cream .. or is one better than the other?
