Hi Snoop.
I don't know what it is. but Clay (the owner of E-Liquid Emporium) doesn't do it for me. and recommended against it. As far as the flavor strength, I don't know, I do not order from the website, I just tell Clay to keep it consistent.
J.
That sucks. I got no idea what a data stick is but losing speed on your internet always sucks. I nearly died when i couldn't access the internet for 3 days.

Also been meaning to ask what Vape Wizazrd is on E-liquidemporium. I planned on trying their butterscotch but Wizard thing confused me. How do you get your butterscotch from there... do you get it with the Wizard and at what strength? Since i know sometimes the flavour gets a funny aftertaste if you add to many flavour shots.

Mornin', J :D

How are you doing on this fabulous Monday morning?

The weather here in FL is nice! It feels like it might be in the low 70's, cloudy and a slight breeze. Jack is having a blast chasing the squirrels in the morning..... then he chases the frogs in the evenings :laugh:

We only have two more days of enjoying our time before we go back home so we're going to try to enjoy every minute of it ;)

I'll check back in later but hope you have a super great Monday, Sunshine :thumbs:

Hey Nate :D

How goes it, my friend? Hope you're not too sore today and you're enjoying your day with the guys ;)
I'm so jealous that you were able to stop by another vape shop just to hang out.... I've already been getting withdrawals not being able to stop by Jason's to hang out. That's one of the first things I'll be doing when I get back to CA. Gotta get my E-Cig City fix before I go nuts :lol:

Anyhoo..... Have a great day, Bro.... Talk to you soon!

Hey Downer:)
MTS Vape Wizard is a flavor enhancer for DIY tobacco flavors. MTS is a synonym for mellow, thick and smooth. Think Accent or MSG = flavor enhancers. Instead of using MSG in e-juices, FlavourArt has designed an enhancer for tobacco flavors that work on the tongue receptors. Ditto for FlavourArt's Magic Mask - same thing but for fruits and delicate flavors.

Don't waste your money on it - no need. Instead, for fruit flavors, add a drop or two of lemon juice. For tobacco flavors, add a drop or two of ACV (apple cider vinegar). They do the same thing.

Hope everyone has a great day!:)

brrrrrr, I had to turn the heater on just to take a shower. brrrrr

Hey Nate,
Pain huh? :laugh:
You'll work it out today and feel recharged again I am sure my friend.
Have a great one buddy,
J.

Oh yeah, this mornings workout drove out most of the left over lactic acid build up so the soreness is now almost gone, and in about an hour I will be back at the gym doing group PT with the guys.

Hi there Parrot, it is nothing like Jason's, I will be doing the very same thing the weekend after I return home if I am at all able :D

Thank you, Nate, but it was not my original advice. It came from the Vinegar thread in the DIY Juice subforum. Here is the thread on the instructions and how ppl have experimented with it.
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/252238-vinegar.html#post4875533


The last I heard, it was 3 drops per 5ml of juice - and it does not change the taste to vinegarish - instead it just enhances and smoothes flavors out and adds definition. If you use more, it adds intense throat hit, similar to how lemon juice does. When they say lemon juice, they mean the juice out of those plastic fake lemons you buy from the grocery store, not the fruit.

Take care, Nate.

Oh yeah, the first workout forced out the build up of the lactic acid and this second one we just finished nearly killed me off LOL 10 Station Circuit Training with 60 second breaks between 3 minute exercises for an hour and a half. LOL I am Whooped and I should sleep quite well tonight too :D So I can get up tomorrow morning and do my leg workout :D

That is really cool SEA, I am definitely going to have to try that for a couple of juices that just don't seem to be tasting as full as they should. I love a rich robust flavor and although it tastes really good, it is not as robust as I would like them to be so I will try some Lemon Juice for the sweets and ACV for the Tobacco flavors :D

Thank you So much for all of your support for me, y'all really are helping immensely to keep me motivated and going strong down here :D

LOL Me too Brother, I am planning on taking a very hot shower after my Neighbor gets out of his shower and then crawling into bed and hopefully sleeping unitl very late tomorrow LOL Then waking up, doing some light calisthenics and stretching before going to the gym and doing my leg routine again LOL

By the time I get back I should be fit as a fiddle again :D

Just one more thing, Nate. Don't scrap any flavors that don't work out for you. Some flavorings need to steep for a while. If something doesn't work out, cap it & put it away for 4-7 days before you try it again.

Some advice: Buy only Capella's flavorings to begin with. They are a little more expensive ($5.95), but there is not the failure rate that is so common with other brands. They should always be blended @ 10-15%. (I do 15% consistently) Capella's has some nice specials from time to time, but you can also buy them at an everyday low price of $4.49 from netrition.com (and also get them quicker). Netrition's Capella Prices For e-juice, choose the regular flavor drops, not the water flavets. Oh, and did I mention that Capella's is right here in San Diego North County (San Marcos).

The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) flavorings receive many reviews of chemical and perfumery undertones. I love (and buy) TFA Pear, Pizza, Cotton Candy, and Caramel Candy. Her Vanilla Bourbon is rated highly also. You can PM me if you want before buying any TFA.

FlavourArt brand is wonderful, but no one can ever be sure of what percentages to use. The least expensive places to find them are at ecigexpress and purevapes. FA is a flavoring line to consider once you have been mixing for a while and don't mind fussin and fooling around a lot with flavor percentages.

Having said all that, I will tell you that there is a new Chinese line of flavorings (from VapeZone.com) that get rave reviews that are super concentrated. I've heard they are pricey but really not because you use only 2.5%. The problem here is that their ingredients are not on the label like other companies list. So, you should buy at your own risk. I don't buy from them b/c the Chinese are notorious for cutting corners to cut costs. YMMV. I like keeping the revenue in my own nation too. Again, YMMV.

One last thing: Do not ever let the nicotine touch the flavoring before it is blended. IOW, measure in your flavorings, then the PG, then the VG and last is the nicotine - then shake. The advanced DIYers all agree that it makes quite a difference.

If you have any problems, let us know, we're here to help you. If IDK the A to a Q, I'll get it for you.:)

Me too! :laugh:
Yeah the sun has just broke out and the dolphins are playing out in the ocean.
It's a little cool here this morning at 55 degrees, but that makes the hot coffee so much better.
J.
Good Morning, J :D

Goodness!!! You're up so early!

I'm still working on my cup of coffee and having my morning vape :vapor:

Hope you have a beautiful day ;)
