new member, few questions

[nocomply]

Since I am limited to here, I'll knock all the birds with one stone.

1. Why are some PG's clear, and some have a amber color, yet both are supposedly USP?

2. I have an easy-cig brand cigarette with the cartomizers. This is not my main unit, which is a 510, but I'd like to use different devices on occasion. My question is, the battery is male threaded and has coarse threads. What atomizers can I use that will allow me to use cartridges I can refill. I took a cartomizer apart to day, and it was a trainwreck inside of it. No real way to salvage it.

3. Will a 510 PCC charge Auto batteries?

4. I'd like to experiment with a menthol no nic recipe. Any suggestions of where to start?

5. I am self employed, so I am not subject to superiors dictating my breaks. When I vape, I do it regularly all day. I take from 2-5 draws every half hour or so. After meals, I draw about 8 times, and generally do this all day until bed time. I am using 24mg juice. Can you vape too much?

Thanks in advance to all who answer. I really appreciate advice and help as being new, I got a long way to go to learn.

The PCC charges both Auto and Manual batteries, no problem.

5. I am self employed, so I am not subject to superiors dictating my breaks. When I vape, I do it regularly all day. I take from 2-5 draws every half hour or so. After meals, I draw about 8 times, and generally do this all day until bed time. I am using 24mg juice. Can you vape too much?
From what I understand, it would really be hard to vape too much. First, you're actually absorbing less nicotine overall than when you smoke. And second, if you know your body and how it reacts you will naturally want to stop when you've started having too much (usually I'd end up with a headache or queasy when I smoked analogs too much, so I use that as a sign with vaping as well).

Hopefully others will be along soon to answer your other questions and correct mine if they are off base.

You can order menthol crystals by themselves, plus your VG/PG - I think there are some good mixes in the DIY Liquid forum you could check out

When you say P.G. is clear and in amber..are you talking about flavored liquids bought from a supplier? If so you are seeing the flavoring which does have some color. No problem.
All the liquids, P.G., V.G. and Glycerin should be USP or foodgrade If you buy Glycerin from a store make SURE it says USP or foodgrade. Some stores sell glycerin that is meant to be used for soap making! Glycerin will increase vapor production.
The fruit flavors are the easiest to DIY. Just drop a FEW drops of Lorann's candy flavoring in some P.G. and vape away...try with tiny amounts first..like 20 drops of P.G. and a couple of drops of flavoring.
Lorann's does not have sugar in it dispite the name. Check the flavors for sugar and oil..those are atty killers!

nah, I mean like sources to buy raw PG. Like I've seen multiple links to stores that sell it by the 8 oz, qt, gallon, etc. Some show an amber colored liquid, some show a crystal clear liquid, yet they are all referred to as USP.

just curious why the difference?
