[100%VG]

Hey VG, been wanting to ask. Do you really vape just VG? I'm doing 60/40 pg/vg.

Yup... 100% VG. It started as a Purist Theme, but I can't do PG any more.

When I first started with ecigs, after the gas station junk, the things I used had some PG in them. They tasted oily, but I didn't know any better then. When I bought my 1st Mod PV, last January, I also bought DIY 100% VG USP and Nic, and only did Unflavored 100% VG. I won some halo juice, and the majority PG juice gave me rashes and red bumps on my arms. After that, I tried a juice at 20% PG, plus the Flavoring was PG Based. I didn't break out, but it put me in a Terrible place Mentally... I was Fowl!!! Stopped using it, and returned to normal quickly.

So now it's 100% VG all the way, with Non-PG Flavorings. I'm not even going to use a PG Based Flavoring. That is disappointing, because I miss out on so many great juices, but it's "Better Safe than Sorry" for me now. I found Cinnamon Red Hots (CHR), and it has become my favorite... don't even much like Unflavored VG anymore... it's so Bland in comparison. The CHR Flavoring is extracted in Ethyl Alcohol, so I can do it without any PG at all. It's an Oil Base, which is not very good for the Lungs, but I'm Hooked.

CHR melts Plastic Tanks, O-Rings, and other Tank Parts, so I really need to find something else for my All-Day-Vape, though I don't know what that would be just yet. But Yes, 100% VG for Me.

I'll sit this one out and give Y'all a better chance!

I should have done the same thing this morning.. I just couldn't help it when I was going to get first post... Not to mention I like my AGI I already have...

I have normally not been getting in the game... It usually moves so quickly and I'm typically too busy during the work week to keep up. When school lets out for summer, my business drops since a lot of folks go on vacation then... So it affords me a bit more time to keep up. Not to mention its fun to BS with everyone here as well.

Thats great you (and others) found a workaround. I helped a new member a couple months ago who was having allergic reactions to PG but didnt know it, I told him about PG sensitivity, and said he should just use VG and see if it helps (i knew it would). But I didn't know about water and vodka to thin mixes until recently. Is that what you do? Add a little water?

I believe distilled water is usually prefered since it doesn't evaporate as quickly as an alcohol will. Of course, the downside to water is that it sputters more... so each has their advantage.

I DIY as close to 100% VG as I can & have for years ...
The VG NIC base I use IS Pre-thinned w/distilled water...so I don't have to thin anymore.
Before I found it I thinned w/distilled water (5%) I have also used Vodka @ the same % ...
but It seemed to cause me to have a sore throat the next day...
there are also VG NIC bases out there that use alcohol as the thinning agent,
they also caused a sore throat.

SO... VG/VG NIC base (Distilled water) & 10-12% flavorings* for me

*I can use as much as 30% PG
...b-4 I get "ITCHY" so I can still use pg based flavorings

sorry YOU can't use any 100%VG ,that must make it a lot harder to deal with ...

I can't deal with Citrus either & that is a hard one to avoid ,
they seem to put one kind of citrus or another in most mixed flavors I have tried.

Yeah, trust me.......I'm on pins and needles sitting here not picking numbers!
I've been here having a great time and picking numbers for a year and a half now, seen allot of people come and go and some still here.
I've really gotten comfortable here and enjoy it SSSSSsssssooo much!
I really appreciate everything GotVapes does here and am glad to be a tiny part of it!
The helpers here put in so much time running these contests and trying to keep everyone in line, I don't know how they do it!?!
Anyway I need another drink! LOL...

OMG... made a quick, thrown together dinner without a plan and it came out awesome. Egg noodles, some Smart Balance, a healthy pinch of pre-shredded italian cheese, fresh cracked pepper and a can of tuna fish. This'll be a regular quickie meal.

OOOh that does sound good. YOINK!
My moms GF, who is Italian, made the best fried pasta. Sometimes one egg white would be added, sometimes mozzarella, but always parmesan and olive oil, butter/margarine, and cooked in a pan at high heat for just a few minutes. Deliciouso!

Ok.... I've played around with the Youde UDT-V8 now...

When trying to evaluate an all mechanical mod without wiring etc... really there isn't much to look at or compare. If it has a quality fit and finish, if it has some flexibility and the design doesn't have any technical flaws... that just about only leaves style and aesthetics left to select one from. Many people will say how this mod or that mod hits so much harder than the rest... that's just their imagination as long as both are using the same battery and their contacts are all in good, clean working order. Some will talk about how much of a voltage drop something has... technically the differences in the switches used in a mech mod have.. it matters little if its made of brass or steel as long as there is a good connection. So having said that...

The UDT-V8 has a nice clean styling which is one I personally like, I'm sure others will criticize it but it's only an aesthetic issue at best... In it's full 18650 + Kick mode... it's just a bit longer/taller than a Vamo in 18650 mode. I do think that the length of this mod will be mentioned as a negative by some. When the UDT-V8 is in 18350 mode ( no Kick ), it's as tall as my Sigeliei #20 in 18500 with Kick.

It's a 510 only setup that has a upper ring that can come off if you wish to use an eGo vaporizer that uses a 510 thread/skirt design. If using an eGo with eGo only threading... an adapter will be needed. The post in the 510 connection is floating... so there shouldn't be many if any connection issues. The Kick fits in snugly so there shouldn't be any issue with the side contact on the Kick not making good contact.

The switch comes apart easily for cleaning with the main components being brass held in a nylon shell. Taking apart the switch for cleaning is straight-forward as is it's re-assembly. To make it pocket friendly.. simply unscrew the very bottom "disk" to disconnect it from the negative battery post. The bottom cap, which has the "disk" I mentioned, is vented in the event of a battery failure resulting in a venting issue.

There are 3 different sized tubes which allow it to be used with 18350, 18500 ( not mentioned but works ) and 18650's with or without a Kick depending on which combination of tubes you select. Incidentally, the tubes happen to also fit a Vamo V2, the reason I even mention this is this would give the Vamo V2 the ability to also use an 18500 which is not currently supported. All of the batteries I tested it with were either AW, eFest, EH, or Panasonic... all button top, I didn't see a reason that a flat top wouldn't work, but I didn't test any either.

All mech mods should have their connections and threads cleaned regularly so that no voltage drop issues happen... this mod is no different. A regular cleaning should keep this mod working for years to come in an almost like new manner.
