A truer statement had never been spoken

I find the longer I DIY the less flavouring I use! at first 15 to 20 % + was common now I'm mixing at 5 to 10% max flavouring. I find I'm getting better results with less % of flavouring
Also my coils stay clean way longer Win Win

Ditto ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I have found that the coconut always make juice harsh, I've been using CAP creamy yogurt to mellow out the harsh...

Well I just bought a ton of mixes. About $300 worth. How do you guys store flavorings?

I personally havent done anything but stick them all in a Tote.

However, from I read in the various forums, refrigeration is not necessary, but re-bottling the stuff into glass is advisable for long term storage. It seems certain molecules (flavor components) will evaporate and even penetrate plastic. Glass greatly reduces the effect.

Makes sense to me as my tote is full of odors even though the caps are all on tight. Those odors are flavor components that have escaped. Alas, I havent gone to the effort of re bottling myself, if a flavors goes weak, or changes to the point I dont like it, I will just buy more. Flavors arent going anywhere, except for the vape branded stuff.

Flavors will always be available, but some manufacturers of flavors may go out of business. It's tough to decide what to stockpile. I keep my flavors in a desk drawer and try to keep them all in glass bottles. Not a big fan of plastic bottles at all.

Soooo....

If a Mod already existed pre 8/8, but they give it a new paint job, does this constitute it being a "New Product". The DX75 has been around for a while, pretty resin paint job is new.

So I watched a video yesterday on the IPV6, Vaping Fagin said it was post 08/08 16.
He did a review & everything seemed normal. There also available on American sites!
So wats up with that?

 

[dwcraig1]

I believe on or before 8/8, not just before.

 

[Steamer861]

The IPV6 is new just hitting the stores now definatly Post 08/ 08/ 16
He even mentioned an IPV7 coming soon! Seems to me that things are still the same as pre 08
for Chinese manufacturers any way.

I think Mark Fagan better start thinking about the ramifications before he shoots his mouth off saying stuff like that because odds are no one would notice if he didn't.

I had bought some wire from Unkamen,,,
Got an email from them telling me about their program, Beans. Seems I got some kind of bonus for what ever and had 1100 coins for me to use. (Bonus plus 100 coins from purchase.) Bought some more wire! All I had to cough up was the $3.00 shipping.

Check your account to see if maybe you too have some coins to spend there.
Birthday coming up soon? Fill out the forms and get 2000 coins as a gift on your birthday. (For me thats 2 rolls of wire free.)

NO, I don't have anything to do with, or am I connected to Unkamen. Just passing along info about a deal I got there.

1x 28 gauge Stainless Steel Wire - 430 Grade Nickel Free - 200 feet - 100% Guarantee (Discount) - #beans_08qaGL# for $0.00 each

Subtotal : $0.00 USD
Shipping : $3.00 USD
Total : $3.00 USD

So I keep seeing mention of these magnetic stirrers. Anybody know where to get one cheap for DIY mixing?

I use a frother to do my mixing with, one of these.
$3.76 Mini Electric Stirrer / Mixer / Whisk for Egg / Juice / Coffee - milk frother at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
It works pretty good, you can see from the bubbles that it is mixing it all up. I mix in 50mil beakers and usually pull one fill up from a fresh batch then come back in a few and mix it all up again (a couple times). I just pull the frother up until its out of my mix and let it spin, no washing needed. OR, you could rinse it off.

I recently started mixing by weight. I got tired of all the syringes and clean up associated with mixing by volume. I have to say mixing by weight is super easy and there is hardly any clean up at all. I have found that I can mix a lot more juice in far less time.

I started out mixing by volume and switched over to mixing by weight. Much easier for me and lots less clean up. I use the same pipette for Nic and just put it in an empty beaker until next time. So clean up for me is just beakers!.

I was kind of surprised, For him it seems like business as usual.
I'm sure he knows about 08/08/16, yet he's on YT for everyone to see.
Mike mite rite some one is going to become the example, mite be him?
Maybe his next video will be the ATF busting in his door!

Dont wish it on anyone. I doubt reviewers will get busted, I suspect money has to change hands before the Feds will expend resources on it.

Not a bad idea!

On a related note, Lu Yu would turn over in his grave, and all of the Tea purists turn their nose up at me. But I use one of those things to mix my Matcha. Tradition says you are supposed to work your .... off using a fragile bamboo wisk (or chasen (茶筅)) to froth your matcha, that little battery mixer does just as good of a job, if not better, in a fraction of the time. The result is superb!!!!

Every reviewer should be out there business as usual and I doubt they will get busted for the simple fact that the FDA overstepped and have no right to regulate free speech & they know it. If they bust the reviewers they will be hit with legal challenge to the FDA Deeming to strike it down.

The FDA is far more likely to hit Youtube with fines to ban the content to take away the reviewer's soapbox platform before going after individual users.

 

[SlickWilly]

I bet the FDA isn't going to take any actions until they see who the next president will be. If it's Trump, he'll be chopping heads at some of these agency's. If it's Billary, hold onto your asses, and I'm not just talking about vaping......

I know what you mean & they will most likely go after the American sites selling the product.
But! technically, he is in possession of illegal banned "Tobacco" products?
