New to forum saying g'day

Hi all,
Been vaping for a couple of months. Been smoking for 20 years and stopped when my first order came in a couple of months ago. I've thought about buying smokes a few times when out at pubs and what not but haven't so all's going well so far. I've been using 2 x stingray mechs with a kayfun lite and magma and some sony vtc4's & panasonic pf's. I like my kayfun at 0.7Ω using twisted 29g 5 wraps and like my magma at 0.35Ω with dual coils 22g 9 wraps each. Both atties i use cotton wick and don't have any problems, they both work well and give me a satisfying vape and performance. I ordered 3 x 30ml bottles of premium juices with my first order also with some DIY gear. I'm glad i ordered DIY gear because i only liked one of the premade juices which was dissapointing for the price you pay, so i've been making my own juice ever since. DIY juice has been going well. I've recently added my 4th recipe to my ADV batches i make up 100ml at a time. I've aleady had about half a dozen recipes in 10ml bottles i've made up that have been no good but that's part of the fun for me i suppose and what keeps me vaping and off the durries. Anyways i'll be lurking around hunting the info, cheers

I thought i'd add a couple of the problems i've had. When i tried the hybrid connector I fogot my tank-o-meter 510 pin was flush and shorted one of my sony batteries when i went to check voltage. It punctured a tiny hole in the negative terminal and had a bit of thermal runaway but calmed down without any fanfare. Expensive/stupid mistake. I havn't used a hybrid connector since. Also about two weeks in i kept getting juice leaking out my airhole on my kayfun when walking around out and about when it was in my pocket. I then tried wicking it exactly like how the fella in this vid does it and havn't had a problem since also no dry hits no matter how hard i vape it. https ://www .youtube. com/watch?v=8OSPnBDGQJc

great recipe site links, thanks. Yeah that ejuicemeup calculator has been easy to use, love it. I've also found a few calculators on http ://ecigvape .com/#anc_calcs handy a few times. I just got a little DIY mag stirrer kit that i bolted together last week and some digi scales. I'm digging these digi scales with this little box of weights because the measuring lines have already rubbed off on some of my syringes which is a PIA. Thanks again for that info & clickies

Welcome clone Congrats on the switch. I've been smoke-free for seven months, and I've been tempted to buy a pack of cigs on occasion. I just grab my vape and keep moving!

Welcome to you clone only, I just signed in brand new too. Make my own juice for quite some years and supply some of my vaping friends with my home made brew.
I'll be around and have a great week.

Hello there, curious what kind of flavors do you make? I haven't been to eager to try to make my own liquid, I have a few flavors that I wouldn't have a clue how to make but it sounds fun :<

 

[cloneonly]

the one i've been playing around with longest has been a banana cream recipe. It started with 6% LA banana cream & 3% LA bavarian cream. I've added LA cheescake along the way which i like most at at 2%. I've been trying to get a cinnamon taste in there but has been difficult. I started with LA cinnamon roll but that just gave it a sweet cream taste which i liked so i left it in there at %1.5. I've tried a few cinnamon flavors but haven't liked the result. At the moment i've got capela cinnamon danish swirl in there at 1% which i think is gonna do it. Too much cinnamon has been muting the banana which has been the main problem. My last batch i mixed i've swapped a few percent of the LA bannana cream with some JF banana super concentrate which i think has given me what i was after but i won't no for sure untill another week or so untill it steeps more. I liked that Danish swirl flavor so i found another recipe using that. I also got a heap of TPA flavors i use in this grandmaster clone recipe which has got caramel, peanut butter and all sorts of .... in it. I've got another recipe i like that uses LA banana cream, TFA dragon fruit, TFA strawbery and use some 10% citric acid to neutralize the ph a bit and i've heard people say it makes fruit flavors better (shrugs) i don't know i'm to new to it all so still learning but that's where i'm at pretty much so far

Sounds like you did your research and know what your doing. Looking to get into RDAs myself sometime here and possibly making my own juices but seems a little daunting as of now.

As you prob know already there is a wealth of info here and can find most any answers your looking for. Welcome and congrats on kicking the analogues!
