Good morning everyone! I hope everyone has a good day today!

 

[DavidOck]

Morning all. The promises of rain are still not happening....

 

[yiddleboge6]

'Morning everyone...

 

[DavidOck]

Enough?

 

[Uncle Willie]

Morning all. The promises of rain are still not happening....

Hola ..

That's because, all of your Rain ended up, somehow, in Fly Over Country ..

You know, David, the Sahara was once a Tropical Jungle ..

 

[FranC]

We got rain here too.

 

[yiddleboge6]

We got rain here too.

Here too as well...

 

[Anise]

We're dry and hot except for humidity.

Well here in South Florida . . . Hot & Humid & Wet for over a week . . . Matter of fact, air quality outside is unbreathable, and add the fire out west - NOT GOOD ! ! !

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

THANK YOU - So much for offering, that is very kind of "You" . . . However that recipe was only being used as an example to answer @Uncle Willie ' s question of how many "Drops" of Kolada I use & to "show" him what I have been doing using the "Drops" Method.

SO - Given this and also how unappealing this recipe is taste wise - I honestly have no intention of continuing to make any more.

What I am going to do, is try to follow @Bea-FL recipe (once I figure out what 7% equals) for "Unflavored Menthol e-liquid" and make a batch up to meet my taste (Think menthol taste equivalent to Kool cigarette) & NEEDS . . . Matter of fact, another local ECF Friend (@MacTechVpr) already helped me out a few weeks ago - mixed up some 70vg/30pg unflavored e-liquid @ 24 nic & gave me a small bottle of Kolada to go with it (already had Menthol Crystal Liquid), along with a couple of small beakers (10/50ml).

The only problem was when I went to mix up what I needed, the breaker broke and all the e-liquid spilled all over my desk & me. NOT NICE - Nor fun cleaning up when your shorts are drenched with nicotine . . . After cleaning up/changing clothes - Mixed up the rest of what was left and couldn't inhale the Vapor - since the "clouds" were way to much for "Me" . . . SO, having nothing to "Fix" it with - had to dump that mixture out . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Anyway - So now it is back to the "drawing board" - or should I say to the "Lab"- although I still DO NOT want to DIY . . . Got to get some more "STUFF" - a small bottle or 2 (max 1L) of premade 50/50 or 60/40 (at the most) @24 nic e-liquid, Kolada, and Menthol Crystal Liquid . . .

Faulty lab ware?

Koolada

 

[Bea-FL]

@Uncle here's my recipe again. For 100 mls of juice at 50/50 PG/VG you mix 44PG, 50VG, 2ml liquid menthol, 7ml koolada and I use 6ml nic. So that's it!

If you want different dosages of PG, VG and nic plug those numbers in that nifty little program I sent you. Or how about you give me those numbers and I'll figure it out and send you the recipe. I would figure out the recipe for 10mls first so you can make sure you like it. After that it would be easy to multiply it.

Kolada

No, it was Corn Chips ..

Sunday, intermittent rain continued to plague my Yard Mowing, so I gave up .. went back to the house this Morning to finish it and the spots I did get mowed Sunday could already be mowed again ..

Then, since it was sunny and dry, broke out the Deck Stain and got a pretty good portion stained .. and, some Vitamin D to boot .. winning ..

I don't mind doing the floor boards, because I can sit and scoot .. it's the railings I just hate doing, having to stoop .. backs going to pay me in Spades for sure ..

I know folks that use a Garden Sprayer and a thin stain to do the job .. I guess it works OK, never tried it .. I'm a Brush Man, myself ..

I see Steak 'n Shake in my immediate future ..

 

[Uncle Willie]

I ordered 125ml of 48mg 70PG/30VG Menthol Liquid and a bottle of Koolada from myfreedomsmokes .. I actually did have an account with them from years ago .. I have some Menthol flavoring in my old DYI stash, it's probably 6-7 years old but I don't think it's going to make me grow a new arm (well, even if it did, you can always use a new arm, step right up Folks, it's 3 Arm Willie the One Man Band) ..

So, I'll mix that down with my own PG/VG stash and flavor by experiment .. 500ml of 12mg for near dirt money .. winning again ..

And thanks, Uncle Dan .. I'll let you know if I grow a new arm ..

Glad to see you're giving it a try Uncle. Next time you're down this way we'll share some more gear. I'm sure most here have more of a feel for the menthol thing. I started on Kool's a very very long time ago.

Unbearable humidity, truly. Don't recall this except some of the hottest Aug summer days when I first returned to FL in the late 70's. Scary thing is we recently had almost 2 weeks of not a star to be seen at night with little interruption regardless of the daytime weather. Grateful it's been hovering just over 60% daytime. Gotten so you don't even want to go outdoors at night. This is supposed to be Florida for cryin out loud.

Good luck.
