I just picked up Creme a la Vanille by vaping Birdy today. Damn! My local shop has all 7 of their flavors, I just didn't have time today to sit down and try them all. I can't wait to do so! Everyone in the shop was saying that all of them were as good as the one I tried. You guys gotta get on this!

Is this sheet live? How do I add and then share? doc dork here??

I think you're probably sorted out now chanel. For everyone else: It's a google spreadsheet. It is a cloud application. All the edits and saves are realtime. There is no save button. Just go in there and start filling it out.

If you see a colored border around a cell it means someone clicked on it and may edit the cell. If you see that in a row, no problem. Go down a couple rows and edit one that is clear. It seems crazy but it all works out. You can all edit the sheet but no one can delete it.

Please please do not share the link outside this thread for now. If you want to notify a regular poster of this thread with a PM about the spreadsheet - that's totally cool. Just don't tweet it or facebook it or post on another forum for now. If this works maybe we can slowly start inviting some other juice collectors so we can fill out the nicotine levels with users to try to keep it fair for those who are vaping really heavily leaded juice or no nic juice.

I have Emperor Penguin. It's very sweet, no throat hit. I like it but can't vape it for long. I kept it to use as a mixer.

My juice of choice is a simple Dekang Tobacco which comes at an 80:20 PG:VG ratio; I have never vaped anything with more than 40% VG and even that was a long time ago. But I am expecting my first ever delivery of Boba's Bounty which is known to be a very thick juice, 100% VG according to some, and I want to be sure that my cartos will handle it without any wicking issues. I always use Boge 510D XL cartos without any pre-punched holes and I cut two slots in them using a vertically mounted dremel with the wheel set at the correct height for cutting. The longest part of the process is removing the things from their individual wrappings and then pulling off the condoms from the business end - if you'll pardon the expression. The actual cutting is a matter of seconds. These cartos come in boxes of five and I have dozens of them but usually just slot them one box at a time. So I put on a thicker wheel to make the slots wider than usual and cut five new cartos. Next I wanted to test them so I made up some 100% VG, 12mg juice using the skills(?) from way back when I dabbled with mixing my own. The longest part of that process was digging out the nico stock (VG @ 48mg), some left-over flavour concentrates and, very luckily, an unopened bottle of VG liquid. I didn't care too much about the actual flavour, just wanted something I could vape, so I chucked in a couple of different tobaccos and the dregs from some hazelnut, vanilla and cotton candy bottles, and mixed it all up very thoroughly and let it sit for about an hour.

The results were excellent. I have vaped the test juice at 10 watts on an eVic and 15 watts on a Sigelei for a couple of days now with no problems at all. Amazingly, certainly more by good luck than judgement, the juice is pretty good and makes a pleasant alternative to my all day vape. The pity is that it is unlikely that I'll be able to reproduce it and in any case I'd need to restock on the flavour concentrates. Well, if the Boba's turns out to be as good as many people seem to think then I won't bother. If not, I might just be tempted ...

Easy to build. Once you get the hang of tooting on one it can be a really great experience. However...you have to get used to tooting on one. The wick doesn't feed itself. Needs gravity.

I've never had issues with wicking. I only have an RSST so I don't know about other ones. I use SS mesh (I think 400) and use the "ribbon curling" method to get the cylinder curling in on itself and then keep rolling. (like rolling a cigarette)

Have you tried an aerotank??

On a side note, if I had more juice I would def. jump into your guys swapping. Need to stock up on more first.

No worries. You'll get there. Good thing about swapping is that you can get rid of juice that would otherwise be sitting around in hopes of getting something that you'll actually use. Not to mention getting to try vendors that you would have never even tried (or heard of)

Im sure I'll get there eventually. Trying not to spend a boat load of $$ or I'll get beat at home. Haha. Wedding to pay for :(

Yeah, this hobby can get expensive if you don't control yourself. (which I haven't been doing too well with lately) But I figure that life is short and I want to enjoy some things while I'm around to enjoy them. (not that I plan on going anywhere but you never know)

Eat right, exercise, and die anyway, is what my old boss always used to say ;)

I like my Protank 2 as well, with the adjustable aircontrol thingy. Without it, it was just ok. About to puff right now.

I really like my Protank 2! I didn't love the Aerotank...it was so stiff in the air control. Apparently I wasn't alone in this, as they reworked it and have the Aero Mini and Mega now. I have an Aero Mini on the way....looking forward to trying it. The Nautilus...it gets great flavor but I don't love that rattlesnake sound it makes. :(

Vaping keeps me off of cigs and out of the malls. It's def been better for my health and my wallet. Now that I've kind of found my happy place in vaping...I am def spending less on vaping than I did on cigs.

I hear ya there. Pretty much the same way. My problem is I try to enjoy too many things at once. Lol. But, if your having fun, who cares? Only live once.

What do you mean by "stiff in the air control"?
