Does anyone keep a vaping journal?

[Dedra]

Back in the day (before I could really smell) I got into specialty niche perfumes. Some of the girls on the forums there kept a perfume journal-each bottle listed with the notes from the perfumer, what they could smell, throw, etc.

I've thought about creating a similar journal for all the eliquids that I've been vaping recently. If I do, is anyone interested in a pdf of the page so they can create their own, or I even thought about creating the journals and selling them. I like writing things down, it makes it more real for me, plus I don't always have my computer with me when I'm trying a new liquid.

Thoughts? Any feedback is appreciated.

Any feedback? Well it seems like a pleasant and inoffensive hobby but I don't think I would buy one of these unless there was a pretty girl on the cover.

A journal to record health affects would be a great idea, considering we barely understand the current long-term consequences of vaping VG/PG liquids.

that isn't a bad idea either, patriprip, although my initial idea was for eliquids, because heaven knows we try bottle after bottle (or, I do). Maybe that's something that could be added in a different section of the journal. Thanks for the input!

Yeah, me too. Also Richard Branson; I used to work for him and he wrote it all down; well not when he was drunk, but that's another story - and maybe it's a lot more interesting too, as he 'was' a big drinker when I knew him.

My thought here is the word 'subjective.'

How the hell are you planning to describe smells? I'd love to read some of your prose about smells.

I usually keep my empty bottles as reference.... and for the day I decide to DIY my own juice.

In the perfume journal that I used to use, it would be initial impression of the perfume, throw (how far away from the arm/skin you could smell the scent), how it changed on the dry-down, how it smelled/changed an hour later, two hours later, all day, etc. I've smelled scents that varied from candy to raw meat--and yes, there is a perfume out there called Gore Shock that smells like raw, partially rotted meat, but somehow Elizabeth makes it work.

It would be slightly the same for a vaping journal. How does the eliquid smell when you first open the bottle? when you get it in your carto/clearo or drip it? what are you using to vape it? initial impression, from the mailbox-then after steeping? best voltage/ohms to vape it? throat hit/strength? there are so many variables to a good vape that the possibilities are endless, really.

I had heard that about Mr. Branson before-glad to have idle gossip confirmed (about him writing things down). Since I write on the side (outside my nursing job and right now, mostly fanfic, and for that I hang my head in shame) some of the prose is...very interesting, lol.

Who are you going to sell the journals to?

You could use your blog as a journal, some others do that. Then everyone could see it and comment. That would rule out selling then though.
