Man, wish I could take you up on the pumpkin cheesecake! I'm having a sweet tooth right now! CONGRATS on your awesome news Sean!!! I think PG is in broncho dilator inhalers. It's obviously been good for you!! How inspiring!! Have a Merry Christmas tomorrow!!!

:lol: Man, leave the thread for a few hours to do real life stuff and it takes *forever* to catch up again. Anyone want some pumpkin cheesecake? I had to sample some once it was done... hate to serve it to the family tomorrow if it's no good, you understand...

Does it say Peaches and Cream on the front? I got mine in the craft section at Wal Mart and it was not over 2 or 3 dollars. That price doesn't sound right. It's 100% cotton also...can't quite read that label.

Is this the right one it's 8 dollars so Idk if it's the correct one cause I've never heard it costing that much

No input on high vg juices people? /wah.

sorry I didn't answer ya before Mia.. still catching up on like 42 pages here - between rounds with the broom.. mop.. vacuum etc - when the clean bug strikes me, I go a little ape sh.. oh right.. censor..

anyway.. yes. I order max VG on everything.. no flavor shots. I tried extra shots last year.. they made the juice either taste like popcorn to me or nothing at all for a LONG steep.. like 4 months long. I think I'm the oddball there though.
Many of my juices are 0 mg also so there's no nicotine interfering with the flavors. It's thick.. it's kinda sweet (vg on it's own is sweet) and delicious. I know everyone says PG carries the flavor better but I really don't know .. I tried a blend when I began vaping but the PG bothered me. No allergic reaction but just a deja vu feeling.. the taste.

many moons ago (early 80s) I worked at one of the glycol plants at dow chemical.. the air was kinda thick with it's fragrance I guess you'd call it. I smelled it (tasted too) for over 2 years so maybe it's just that memory of being burnt out on that particular odor. I do notice it a bit in the mint flavors that are max VG but not so much that I have to put them down.. not giving up my candy cane or extreme ice.. nosireebob.

You can cut juice with distilled water but like Sam said, I would strongly advise against letting any other water get into it. Put it into ziplock baggies before heating it. It'll save the labels and protect your juice from being compromised by bacteria and heaven knows what else. Not worth the risk.

so lets say im warm water steeping some juice and theyre not in bags... if water gets in them will it be ruined?

im hoping the caps are good enough they wont let any water in

I've heard people say that you get a heaviness in your lungs with pure VG. Have you ever experienced that? And funny you should mention that smell associated with glycol. I get that with every juice. Maybe that's why spouse always says that it smells like antifreeze when he's in the room while I'm vaping. There is a definite odor associated with it that isn't the flavor scent.

I got that for a while.. and that incessant feeling that I needed to brush my teeth too - I either got used to it or my body just adjusted. The heaviness was right after I started vaping.. might have been my lungs starting to break up the years of sludge accumulated in there - which I used to call my protective coating of tar that made a barrier between germs and my delicate lung tissue. I was pretty good at defending my right to choose to smoke.. my favorite phrase was *never argue with a redhead with an oral fixation* Kinda stopped those preachy folks in their tracks.

A place some call paradise
ok so i put 'em back in bags. i hope i didnt do any damage to my precious juice!

My bags have let some water in before and no damage done.
You said they float which is true. The best trick I found was to put them inside if a bag and shove them Inside of a large mason jar. Then fill the large mason jar with the water and the rest of the sink as well. That way the water inside of the jar is kept warm by the water outside of the jar.
You can also use a paperweight which works just as well. Just make sure you check the temp of the water if you want to make the best use of warm water steep. Drain and refill as you go.
Others have other gadgets to to make it work better but I'm starting to build my stock up to let it just sit.
I assume you got your provari sandman. Congrats are I order. It finally allowed me to find my vape happy place. Should keep you on the staying off the analogs path.
