We had a member who took ownership and started compiling all the recipes on the TPA/TFA recipe
thread but finally had enough. The last compilation of it can still be accessed
through
the link on this post.
Funny you mention the TFA thread. I found myself reading through this thread and came to the conclusion that TFA is a very popular choice as well as Capella? I will make a few orders through WL this weekend as I need a few 240 mL bottles for me rebottling. I think when I was
vaping Ruthless E-Juice, I finally tasted the peppery taste as I left the tank out in the sun for about 30 minutes which seemed to alter the liquid.
So I think I am going to go with a liter of 100mg/ml from NN (Not the Armor V2, just the regular and rebottle) or VT. Haven't came down to the conclusion yet. Will be ordering on Monday or Tuesday.
I forgot the whole equation when it comes down to calculating how long a liter of nicotine will last somebody. If someone would like to chime in right now (that would be great), but if not and if I remember correctly, one liter of 100mg/ml will last me about 7 years. I am currently vaping about 4-5ml of 6mg of juice a day and will have no need to go higher. I will probably put 5mg worth of nicotine when I DIY, but we will see.
I'm not familiar with a "natural" differentiation." What manufacturer is that?
I honestly forgot which manufacture made it and for some odd reason, I could not locate the website either. But I am assuming it is like "Strawberry" versus "Strawberry (Ripe)" . Or something along those lines. Not too sure though.
I am NOT, in any way, shape, or form, saying "don't buy NN". I am only saying that I am too old, cheap, and skeptical, and won't pay their prices for oxygen purging, septums, and ascorbic acid. I see no reason to pay $100/L when I can buy nic with close to the same reputation for $45-50/L. I will gladly go through the added hassle of re-bottling for that kind of savings.
Now... You just made me think about RTS again. I just do not like the strong peppery taste. All of the reviews I have read consist of a wide range of answers both good and bad. But in the end, it comes down to the top forums all agreeing on 2 companies, NN and VT. There is also the EVEN more EXPENSIVE one which starts with a "C" but I forgot the name at the moment. At the moment, If I had to pick between nicotine companies -- I am stuck between NN, VT, and RTS. RTS is of course the cheapest and VT is the most expensive.
No, I got the regular, original version. My thinking is the actual nic inside the container IS the same. If I spend less $$ on rebottling it (correctly) myself for longterm storage, the more nic and other supplies I could buy.
This is the main reason I am going to get the regular 100mg/ml nicotine versus the NN Armor V2.0
if I do decide to go with NN. I also suspect that sometime during the 6 years of taking in and out the nicotine, the NN Armor V2.0
would HAVE to have some wear-and-tear regarding the silicone lid.
About flavorings and recipes: WL is a great choice, IMO. Always has super prices, great CS, variety of different manufacturers and flavorings, and the best careful packaging for shipment IMO.
Recipes using strawberry? Yep, I have a few I regularly make, for myself and some for friends. One simple one is below, my clone of a local vendor's NanerBerry. It's a shake & vape for me, though a couple friends let theirs wait for 24 hours. All 3 flavorings used are TFA:
NannerBerry
Strawberry Ripe - 9%
DX Banana Cream - 6% (Can ue reg. if you prefer)
Cotton Candy - 2%
Another is a slightly modified version of Bill's Magic Vapor's "Flamingo", which is also all TFA:
Strawberry Ripe - 9%
Peach - 6%
DX Coconut - 4%
Sweetener - 2%
You may want to checkout his huge collection of recipes and his blogs for much, much more...although he subscribes to the HF theory because nearly everything is then shake and vape. I make about 7 of his recipes regularly, and I've only tried 9 of them so far!
About the Thank you sir...well you're welcome, but it's actually ma'am.
And lastly, like I mentioned previously, I plan to buy my flavorings / glass bottles (the 240ml Amber ones) / Syringes ? Regardless, WL is it for the flavoring as of right now. And I really appreciate the recipes, I will most definitely have to try the strawberry x banana one. Unfortunately, I do not like coconut
And did I say sir?
My deepest apologies. Once my BOOMING DIY recipes (I hope I hope I hope....) are mastered, free 30ml bottle on me for my mistake
EDIT: Sorry for the late reply. I have been busy with registering for classes at college. Anyways, I am looking for a RTA. I was thinking of getting a Geekvape Griffin? What are your guy's opinions?
Also, are the only items I need to stock up on is nicotine, devices such as mods and boxes, and tanks? What about coils and flavoring? I am assuming PG, VG, Batteries, and Cotton will be readily available regardless of the regulations. Just want to make sure that about 2-4 devices and 2-4 tanks should be okay.
