13 flavors in total

Total $38.00 I also have 1 Liter of each PG and VG on their way. along with a 50mL and 100mL Erlenmeyer flask and stoppers, this will go well with my stir plate and stir bars I already have on hand so I can get a homogeneous mixture. Nothing like mixing in a sealed vessel at 6,000 RPM lol screw the volumetric flasks and swirling that's for the birds. luckily I home brew and have a lot of chemistry equipment already up to 2L flasks, in need of a set of glass graduated cylinders and beakers tho... I have a lot of glassware, just for distillation of essences (perfumery experiments).


anyone have any suggestions on recipes or recommended % ratio's???

Don't go higher than 4% with the maraschino cherry or you'll regret it. Don't believe me? Go ahead, try it.

I use it at 4% with 10% Lemon.- cherryaid

Anything above 4% will make your tounge tingle. (In a bad way)

Captain black is a good flavor. It tastes like vanilla to me. Start at 5%


TFA tobacco is a very good flavor. It is very floral. Reminds me of marlboro lights.

Go easy with the cotton candy. It is just ethyl maltol dissolved in PG. It adds a slight sweetness and body but takes the sharpness away and dulls flavors down. Next time you should just buy the crystals and make your own. It's cheaper that way.

essentialdepot has 1 gallon PG + 1 gallon VG for 40$ with free shipping. Its the only place I've found cheaper than WL.

Your hotplate is really going to come in handy if you happen to make your own EM solution. The stirring heating combo will have the crystals melted in less than a minute.

Please let me know how the apple smells/tastes. Is it like green apple jolly ranchers or like red apple?
I've been searching for a good red apple lately. Seems like they are all green apples
tit for tat. If you let me know how it smells I'll share my recipe for the TFA tobacco flavor.

Always glad to hear more business heading John's way, I haven't found a better place for glass lab gear, nicotine extract or just about anything else!

 

[purelyscientific]

I just made a batch of my cherryaid with 4% cherry and for some reason its not strong enough. I switch the original recipe from 60/40 to 55/45 so that may be why.
Or..It may be that my flavor has mellowed and oxidized.

Welcome to the world of DIY! Take accurate measurements, keep a notebook on all your trials, and have fun!

 

[LoneDeRanger]

essentialdepot is my source for liquids since I make homemade soap as well.

I found a place for glassware and i will post their website address as soon as i place my order haha sorry but i got to get my stuff in

I called and spoke to john before I placed my order, in the morning yesterday and he told me a flavor was out of stock and would call me when it was back in stock. this was perfect, he called and a half hour later my order was placed. hopefully it ships today and I can enjoy my stuff by saturday.... hopefully...

I still need to order a vivi nova V3 or two... I need to find a cheap price...

I want to make a mimic of highbrowvapor's creme brulee, I have not had their yet, but I read it is fantastic... so I may order a 10ml of that.

off to work, ill check in from my iphone.



also I was asked the difference in vortex mixers and stir plate mixers, I replied, I'd rather not bring that discussion in to this thread, but I perfer stirplates with a heating element and a 1" to 1-1/2" flea for obvious reasons.

 

[PhreakySTS9]

If I could make a suggestion I would suggest picking up a vial of M-Type (they call it Marlboro Tobacco on the WL site). Very good tobacco, my favorite DIY so far. It needs a long steep though, at least 3-4 weeks for the harshness to die down. Also it's very, very potent. Just a few drops are needed in a 10mL bottle and you're good to go for strong flavor, maybe a little more but none of this 5% or you will be gagging most likely. DO NOT over do this one!!!

 

[hotrod3539]

Welcome to the Wizard Labs world! I have not had any problems with them at all and use them almost exclusively.....With the exception of if i wand a larger amount of a flavor, then i go directly to TFA's site and get it there.

 

[LoneDeRanger]

I am looking forward to reviewing the liquids, and am coming up on my two week review on my mygo from aquavapor cigs... reviewing the device itself, a 3ml DCT and a 1.6ml ce4+ clearomizer.... interesting results to say the least... ill post the vids by next week.

 

[purelyscientific]

So as it turns out. I accidently had my nic set as 50/50 in the calc so my recipe came out all f'ed up.

 

[Merlin21]

Welcome aboard and enjoy your stay!

Purely, what is your nic? 100% PG?

 

[purelyscientific]

Yes. Why do you ask?

I have struggled for weeks with the maraschino cherry flavor as an accent to a pineapple upside down cake. Seems like one drop(where I usually use syringes for diy) for 10ml is as close as I can get.

 

[Dooz]

When you receive your order and see how it was packed, well...I order nearly 100% of my supplies from WL regardless of expense. There is not a single Internet(as a whole) vendor that has better packaging! IMHO

 

[Merlin21]

Yes. Why do you ask?

Just curious as I like my juice at 70-30 ratio... My first order I ordered 50PG-50VG Nic and had to use alot more PG than VG because of it. This order I got 80PG-20VG Nic and ultimately I am thinking next order just go 100% PG

 

[White Rabbit]

DeLoneRanger,

Welcome aboard the WL bandwagon. I have not been too successful, but still trying. I finally found that Double RY4 at 15% with just a little chocolate comes very close to EC Blends RY4. Still searching for one more ingrediant which I think is more Caramel.

Avoid the coffee flavors, they are SUPER Potent and at least to me do not approach a good coffee flavor.

PLEASE let us know how things work out and if you find a good blend, post it or PM me.

 

[LoneDeRanger]

sure will, 2 days and still processing.... I do not think it is going to get here by this week... I should have saved the money and paid parcel post....

I mix at 70/30 PG VG and use 100% PG as my nic base. It seemed to make more sense since my final batch has more PG than VG.

 

[LoneDeRanger]

i went with the 100%pg as well since I like more vg for vapor and smoothness, but I am a novice really, I just am hating my ce4+ due to constant leaking... I think it is the internal silicon cap... but more testing needs to be done, next payday im getting 2 vivi novas and kanthal wire to rebuild them, and one of those metal tubes so I can have the flavors like cin red hots that melts the plastic tubes... or bananna

 

[LoneDeRanger]

spoke with john today, order should be shipping later today 01 11 2013, and should have it this next week. LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

I will review each flavor in a ce4+ and a dc tank.

and eventually in my vivi nova I will be ordering, I hope to be getting a couple more tanks, but I want to see what my options are as far as maitnance, cost to recoil/new carts. my ce4+ has been nothing but problems... now the finish on my new ego is chipping off.... and I treat this thing like my baby, from use to back in case, to use to back in case....

I am going to contact the company and see what they say.. I'd just hate to be without a pv for a week while I wait for a new one... if they even will allow that option...
