Do you Sub-OHM and use higher OHM tanks/coils interchangeably?

Ah juice conservation. It's like trying to get the performance of a Corvette from an Escort. I should be more concerned about this than I am, but...

I'm not into DIY. I have cats and a tiny apartment and I don't have the space where I feel that I can safely and cat-hair-freely do such a thing. I wait for big sales (like Cyber Monday or Black Friday) and stock up. I also attend every vape convention and vape meet I can drive to. The "con rate" tends to be quite affordable. The money I once spent on pre-made coil heads now goes to juice. I suspect it's a net-loss in the expenses not a net-gain. Well, a gain for the vendors I suppose. Hahaha!

Not the concern you think it is brother.

Keep my VG and PG under the sink.

Keep my nic, flavors and syringes in a box with a top so everything in the box stays clean.

I use a damp rag and wipe down an area on the table.

I have a piece of wood with a hole to put a 50 ml bottle in so my bottle of juice doesn't fall over. I add the ingredients. Clean everything and put it away then I let my little dog out of her crate.

Very easily and quickly done. I did paint a big red X on the needle I use for the nic so it is not used for anything other than nic.

I only started vaping Sept 7th, 2015, and I skipped the low power vaping completely. I started w a Sigelei 75W box mod and within 2 to 3 weeks moved up to where I am now with a 150W Sigelei. I thought that the lower ohm coils would make it desirable/possible to vape at a higher wattage, and possibly get something more out of the juice, but I have not found that to be completely true.

What I have found w the 150W box mod is that I vape most of the time btw 50 and 80 watts, with a 0.3ohm coil, and I dial it in for flavor. Right now I'm at 57.5W to 75W vaping, "Breaker." I've just cleaned three other tanks..and it is possible that I'll be vaping at a higher wattage than 55 but I rarely go over 75 watts. I can vape Breaker at 75W no problem, but I don't go above 80W to avoid burning the coils. The 0.3ohm coils are rated for btw 70W and 80W. If you do not pay attention to what you are doing at higher watt draws, and do not draw hard the moment you hit the button...you will burn coils, and then there goes that. What I like abt the 150 is that it has dual 18650s and the batteries last all day.

I don't worry abt juice consumed. 100% of it is going in to my lungs, and not going to waste. I've got plenty of store bought juice and around own TEN - 250ml bottles of 100mg Nude Nicotine. I'll never run out...at least that the plan.
 
How did you learn about the do it yourself juice? Been thinking about doing it but at a loss. Right now I'm spending a small fortune on my juice because I drip and sub-ohm.


There is a huge section on DIY at ECF. Start buying nicotine and flavors NOW. The FDA, cities and states are cracking down...raising taxes and there may be some bans. There is a great potential that you will not be able to get the flavors you want in the future.

Read up on DIY. It's easier than you think. Make the juices in the bathroom, and store everything in a locked cabinet, or up high in a cupboard in zip lock bags so the kittehs don't get at it.
