Good morning everyone :)

We're taking a day trip to Tampa today. Visiting the zoo and having lunch at a favorite restaurant…Sweet Tomatoes. And no trip would be complete without a visit to an orchid nursery and maybe an orchid or two to bring back. :p

Good morning Fran, Gracie and Bea.

Looks like summer has definitely arrived here. Gonna be warm here for the next 10 days at least.

Lots of internet problems this morning. Weird. It was only half working and even at that it was WAY slow to respond if it responded at all. Seems to be back to normal now.

What do I win? What do I win?:D

That was a great trip. Totally enjoyed it.

I was making a shopping list yesterday and there were some PVC elbows and T's already on the list. I use an app called Google keep for notes and grocery list. I sat here for 10 or 15 minutes trying to remember what project I wanted the PVC for. I finally just deleted them. If I remember what it was later I will re-add them to the list.

Funny. I do that with ingredients for a recipe and then forget what recipe I was going to make!

Good morning everyone :)

Have a wonderful trip today. Happy shopping for your orchids! Pictures please!

Next time, just make the item on the list a little longer by including what you want it for.

Now that I've dropped into the Rabbit Hole .. o_O


YES - "You" did ! ! ! AND- Took 'Me" right along with Ya' too . . .


V9Iw.gif




Not sure if I wanna even come back out
smiley-hiding-hole.gif
- or to open up the discussion again by answering one of your questions, especially given all the great information provided by everyone else . . . Matter of fact, I reached such an "OVERLOAD" the other day trying to understand all the information provided, given my extreme limitations with DIY, particularly since I DO NOT want to have to translate % vs drops vs ml vs mg + this - that = vg/pg (not interested in clouds) or specific variables that I do not understand from the get go - nor even using a DIY calculator - More importantly, have I ever wanted to DIY anything e-liquid . . . :nah:

It has got to be SIMPLE ! ! ! Pick it up - Fill the tank - VAPE ! ! ! :headbang:

However, I am left with no other choice, since I have yet to find anyone who makes a "True Tobacco Menthol" that I like and am trying to move on to an Unflavored Menthol Tasting e-liquid (as mentioned by @Bea-FL) so I do not go back to dual using (After 8 years here - I finally stop smoking cigarettes only a few months ago) . . . ;)

Anyway - Here goes . . . Now to try and answer just one of your questions about what I do . . .

my question :: is that enough Kolada and how much do you generally add .. ??

Honestly, I do not know if that is enough "Kolada" for your use or not, wouldn't know if that would be even close enough for "My" normal usage . . . :rolleyes:

What I have always done previously is mix up what I thought would suit my needs with the e-liquid I was using at the time with the addition of "Menthol Crystal Liquid" & "Kolada" to taste (would add more or less as NEEDED) by the "Drops" method (like you mentioned) into the tank I was using then.

However - Here is what "I DO" now . . . Or the recipe that I have been using for the most part (or more specifically, for the past 4 + months) that is mixed freehand into a 2 or 2.5 ml Tank (Usually Innokin's Endura T18/T22 Prism Tanks) . . . Although the "Taste" is not at all satisfactory - it's what I 've been using . . .


All based on a standard 30ml Bottles with a drip nozzle:

40-60 drops - Ry4 (either 60/40 or 50/50 depending what I have on hand)
40-60 drops - Black Licorice / Absinthe (either 60/40 or 50/50 depending what I have on hand)
50-70 drops - Kolada (10% - marked on bottle) (AND- BTW: No Corn Chips Here . . . :lol: :lol: :lol: )
1-2 drops - Pure Menthol Crystal Liquid
(BTW: NEVER EVER anymore then 3 drops - LUNGS ON FLOOR o_O - Been There Done That )
Sometimes - less of the RY4/Black Licorice - replace with 30 Drops of a Tobacco based "WTA"​


NOW - All I NEED to do is get the correct "Stuff" (in reasonable/smaller quantities - a 1 litter bottle - NO STORAGE) to make up what I want without having to DIY everything . . . Already mixed Unflavored E-liquid (24mg nic, 60/40 or 50/50), Kolada (10%), and "Menthol Crystal Liquid" . . . Then figure out a mixture that would work and meet my NEEDS - so I didn't have to continue using the "Drops" Method anymore . . . :lol: :lol: :lol:

And - As I said before Pick it up - Fill the Tank - VAPE ! ! ! :headbang:

Hope that clarifies & possibly explains everything from "My" perspective - Just Sayin' . . . ;)


Okay enough of that discussion - Moving on . . .

Sometimes - less of the RY4/Black Licorice - replace with 30 Drops of a Tobacco based "WTA"

Since the "average" is 20 drops per ml, you have (middle value) 2.25 ml each of RY4 and Licorice/Absinthe, and 3 ml of the Koolada. And a drop or two of menthol

And this is for one tank, of 2 or 2 1/2 ml capacity? Uh, won't all fit! So how much does this make?

Let us know what that recipe mixes up to - volume - and we can scale it up for you for larger quantities :)

@Janet H you asked for pics of the new orchids I brought home today. Only bought two. Both are done blooming for the year but here is what their flowers would look like. These are internet photos.

The first one is a cascading plant with very fragrant flowers.

    Oh my, they're beautiful, but I especially like the 1st cascading one! And that it has a lovely fragrance too! I'd say you had a successful trip!
