That sounds about right...check coil resistance, dang it, touching sides...fiddle with and fix.
Wrap and cap...check slits of cap, dang it, I can see wrap got smooshed...remove cap re-wrap.
Like the tip! Must...not...use...hammer!

I was a sheet metal worker for 20 years. Even 25 years later, the tendency to reach for a bigger hammer when things aren't going my way is hard to resist. Yeah, a couple LIGHT taps is all it takes.That sounds about right...check coil resistance, dang it, touching sides...fiddle with and fix.

Post midnight after working 14 hours, with fluorescent light, not so much.
Just finished enjoying a plate of garlic-butter erasers, wandered over to the noob forum, and found proof Callipleura is correct.
"PBusardo also says he likes higher wick density to cut down on popping. It wouldn't surprise me if a few variables cause it - some more than others. I guess now you'll have to figure out all the causes and how much so for each one... there is still fun to be had!

Can you refer me to a good vendor for garlic-butter e-juice, 50/50 vg/pg, 8mg, 1 extra flavor shot, hold the eraser?You can eat erasers with enough garlic-butter...
Flavor List Have you tried theirs?
I was going to make a garlic-butter e-liquid. Unfortunately, all the good butter flavorings are saturated with diketones.
Because Derall ejuice is so INexpensive (I don't have to "save up" to buy some...or wait for a "sale")...and because it's usually delivered 3 days after I order it...(and because I'm lazy)...I usually order it when I start my last bottle and start vaping it as soon as it arrives.
But this "steeping" thingy sounds interesting (and I figure it can't hurt).
How does one "steep"? Just let the bottles sit around for a couple weeks? Or let the bottles sit around with their tops off?
Or what???
$4 for 30ml.
Are diketones a doo-wopp quartet, or are they like diacytl?I was going to make a garlic-butter e-liquid. Unfortunately, all the good butter flavorings are saturated with diketones.

Up on the roof, up on the roooo-oooooo-ooof...
Diacetyl is the simplest form of diketone. All the really good creamy/buttery flavorings use some kind of diketone (diacetyl,
acetyl propionyl, acetoin, etc). While they may be harmless to most of us for our purposes, I'm waiting for Dr. Farsalinos to release the findings of his latest research. Since I'm vaping mostly unflavored ATM, I can wait a month or so for his report.
Many techniques, and probably many threads about it. I'm simple.
1. A vigorous shake,
2. Leave uncapped over night,
3. Cap back on, then let sit, shaking a little every day or two for a week,
4. (optional) let sit for another week or two or ...
Special, unpublished recipe for Cheat Steeping:
Step 1, as above, then remove cap (!) and microwave for 5 seconds.
As long as it's the white ones... I didn't like the taste of the pink ones so much...You can eat erasers with enough garlic-butter...
And it would be a fair question to ask how I would know that... well as a kid in school we used to use plastic Bic pens to make spit ball guns (paper is fine - but erasers made better ammo with less spit for the victim)... anyways, biting off little chucks of the pink erasers tasted gross and the texture of them to boot... the white one had a nice soft texture and didn't have much taste to them. I didn't actually eat the erasers... nothing silly like that.
lol...
This was an early attempt at mixing my e-liquids, prior to steeping. After 60 sec, the liquids all looked like milk.

When mixing some people use crock pots or a candle warmer to artificially age. Personally, just letting time pass is the "best way" to age.
Check around 8:50min in this video for one approach:

Bike has mostly abandoned his iStick 50W.... He's a squonker now!
This will horrify the vape snobs.
Quick method: Place in uncovered microwave safe container. Nuke until *warm*. Let cool. Enjoy.
Works beautifully with some flavors, others less so. YMMV, void where prohibited, no warranty implied.
