so...you don't get a scorched taste with the lemon sicily ?
I would have thought it would have been a very simple thing to just add some to my mix.
Am quite surprised. (and disappointed )
My bottle is a 120ml bottle of my custard mix and I added 2mls of lemon sicily to it
Not in that mix, what flavorings do you have in the custard?

not using on TC. 1.3 coil at 6.9W
I even took it down to 6W, another new wick and still yucky.

I'm assuming you have an ADV you have been using for a while now,
& your trying to add a lemon note to it? Some times that don't work out :(
Some flavours work well together some don't :(
Maybe try starting fresh with Lemon & add some thing else to it :)

A drop or two of real lemon juice per 10ml or so is what I used to use years ago.
Lemon juice has sugars. Sugars gunk up wicks & coils. It might not matter to some, but I've grown very intolerant of anything gunky.

That's why I try not to use the companies that put tons of sucralose in their stuff, TPA, FW, capella's is ok sometimes but still have flavors loaded down with sucralose... still, there's some flavors you just can't get around having to use.

Inawera is very good & FA has actually done studies with their flavorings & vaping, they post them on their website. My gf goes weeks without changing & no gunk.

Idk what kind of coil you're using, but even at 6w without TC the coil will continue to heat up, so it's hard to judge what temp it's getting to. I'm sure Mike has some idea though, after everything those people put him through [emoji6]
Yes, same custard mix for a couple of years...just wanted to add the lemon to make lemon custard :cry:
It's not gonna always work out like you think, one of the things I've learned through trial & error is that some flavors cause others to curdle... for lack of a better word, like strawberry would be a much better addition to the custard but lemon needs a strong base like cake or cookie, then maybe you can add some cream.

Think of it like, (only example I can think of), you wouldn't have cream in lemon tea, but it goes good w/ black tea. Lemon, lime, & some of the other strong flavors are like that, you just need a stronger base & it'll taste a lot better.

So do I. It's easy when your ADV setup has never had anything but unflavored in it, and the the flavored juices ya do use only get dripped in from the top while the bottle in the squonk mod gets re-filled with unflavored.

Adding lemon juice to my unflavored at a rate of 1 drop per 10ml is how I concluded it was relatively gunky. I then tried citric acid for a while, using a lemon juice substitute recipe. It wasn't as much of a problem as lemon juice, but it still wasn't as clean as straight, unflavored PG, VG, and nic.

So early this morning I ordered one of those Hans Modz box kits from the Ebay guy for $10.
HANA MODZ DNA 250 200 75 Do It Yourself (DIY) kit 11 colors. *Free Battery* incl | eBay
Those are GREAT flippin deals! I bought about a dozen of them. You cant buy the 510 and buttons for that much anywhere else, let alone a complete kit with everything but the board.

Some (not all) of the colors have a very slight anodizing shade difference between the front and back half of the clamshell, so if you think that might bug you just go with the plain "billet aluminum". You can see it in the photos if you look close, look at the orange one as its the worst. Unless you are totally .... it is not bad, for $10 I can live with not to being .... about it.
