Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

[BaccyFiend]

Well, got my small order in! I appreciate the heads up on the sale!

What did you get? I'm debating whether to order. The only ones I would definitely consider again (although some of the others are pretty good) are Dragon's Fire and Shadow. I'm not a big fan of their signature tobacco profile in Gaia, Huntsman, Dark Horse, etc. I can see the appeal, but it doesn't really agree with me. Does anyone know what tobacco HHV uses for those? Reminds me of some from BWB.

I made a rookie mistake and I am really p***** at myself. After weeks of experimenting I made about 60 mls of a brandy flavored cigar juice I called, Straight - No Ice. I have been vaping it like crazy and even sent some out to others. So, I go to make some more and I can't find the recipe. I could have sworn I entered it in the juice calculator but it's not there now. I do so much testing that I can't remember the ratios, just the ingredients

Moral of the story, write the recipe down as well as putting it in the computer file.

As to the propriety juice recipes. I think very soon now some of us that are doing home extractions are going to start mixing single varietals together with synthetic flavoring. So if someone comes up with a juice that everyone loves, I would have no complaint if they claimed their recipe as proprietary. However, I for one would have no problem sharing a recipe, because I'm not in business to sell juice. So why should I withhold it.

Has anyone tried the iVape app? I figure for $0.99, it wouldn't be a huge loss. Is there a better one out there?

I use the ejuicemeup calculator. I use a laptop and it works just fine. You just have to remember to copy the recipe file to a flash drive as a back-up.

Take it from a computer guy. Backup everything, and then make a backup of your backup's. External hard-drives are cheap these days.

Thanks, that one looks good. It's free, has drops and ml measurements, and can accommodate up to 5 flavors vs. 4 for iVape.

The latest edition has room for seven flavors and the drop down tools menu is very handy.

They sure are. If someone had told me 10 years ago that I could have terabytes of storage for under $100, I wouldn't have believed them. I'm sure in 10 years, today's latest and greatest hard drives will seem quaint and obsolete.

SSD are the way to go today. My current laptop takes a whopping 9.9 seconds from power on to CTRL+ALT+DEL to login.

Yep.. and in 10 yrs, SSDs will be 4TB for $100 (inflation )

For those who are trying to learn about different tobaccos, I found a note to myself about this post from Mike so I went searching. I found it on page 438, #4379, date May 22, 2014. It is great information! Cleared up several of my questions to myself about the different types and flavors. Thanks Mike!!! I feel marginally more knowledgeable now.

Back in the early 80s when I first got into computers for a living, we all thought 64mg of RAM was huge!!! Then came 10mb hard drives. WOW! Who could fill one of those? Shudder at the thought today...

Re-visiting QNJ Analog Red (70/30, 24mg, born on "May 2014") today on the Evod. The juice is a light amber color, just very slightly darker than the Analog Light I also ordered. It's only a 15ml plastic bottle, so it was hard to get a good sniff, but I could definitely smell faint tobacco.

This juice is good. A very analog-like experience. I can't really pick out any individual tobaccos right now, but I'm assuming it's a Virginia/Burley/touch of Oriental blend, which I think most analog-like NETs are. There's a very faint plasticky taste in the background that I get from all QNJs (probably just me - I have weird taste buds that often play tricks on me), but hopefully that will steep off. The closest juice I can compare it to is Big Spirit, but with more bite/throat hit. I'm really liking this juice with each passing vape. I think I'm going to get a 30ml next time I order from QNJ (which probably won't be for awhile). This could definitely be a contender for a retail Big Spirit replacement.

Well... being Italian/ Sicilian I extract the way I cook, nothing except my carrier liquid is measured, otherwise it's a pinch or palm of my ingredients. I do the same during the Flavor steep and heat assisted reduction of the extracts, no specific goal, just done by Aroma and looks. When I mix my actual vaping juice; PG/VG, nic and flavor, everything is measured.

what's an SSD, I'm stone-aged when it comes to this Technology & Lingo.

Solid-State Drive.. Basically a huge thumb-drive used as a hard-drive.. Solid-state drive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hehe, 64mg. It's funny how vaping changes our frame of thinking.

Aha, got it, thanks for the link.

Prices still need to drop on the SSD's so they can come into the standard market... still, they have dropped quit a bit so far and if you don't mind increasing the price of a decent ( not top end ) system and paying 30-50% more... it can be done.

OMG!!! Yea, I guess it does! 64 MB. Oh well, as she takes a big puff off her MVP with an EVOD full of Ethervapes Vanilla Skye...

How are you liking the Vanilla Skye? Have you tried any other EVs?
