Probably fixing to really show my ignorance when it comes to math, but have a question... I have a 2 ml bottle of banana 18mg nic and 5 ml bottle of banana 0mg nic. Both from same vendor. If I were to add whats left of the 18mg to the 0mg bottle does the mg stay 18mg? Please don't laugh at me lol.

What a Valentines Day surprise! I just got my SI package. And, guess what? The 4 packs of blank cartos I got were all silver, no black. No problem, though, since I was curious about them anyway. Once again, SI and the post office shows how quickly something can get from point A to point B.

Now, the next big adventure will be to fill the cartos! When you use the condom method, what do you do with any leftover juice that's not absorbed? I'd pour it back into the bottle, but the tips are so narrow. Is there a way to open that top off so you can pour liquid back in? It looks like they might unscrew, but they are on pretty tight, and I didn't want to break something.

if they are equal amounts of liquid you add the mg's together and divide by 2

so for example: if you combined 5ml of 18mg and 5ml of 0mg you would get 10ml of 9mg




with your amounts

2ml of 18mg and 5ml of 0mg you would get:

18+0 = 18mg divided by 7(ml) = 2.57 times 2 (ml of 18mg) would be 5.14mg

lol

yep the nipple on the bottle pops right out... don't unscrew just pop it to the side and it will pop right out

Quoting myself :)

OR - It could be because I started keeping ten flavors going at a time. No flavor burnout.

I think I've had a mild case of flavor burnout from time to time. The flavors wouldn't taste as strong as I was used to. Then I'd go back to that flavor a few days later, and it was fine. I, too, Have lots of flavor choices to switch off to, though I must say that lately I've become so enamored of SI's chocolate that I have been neglecting the others. The chocolate/cappuccino mix I made is finally starting to taste decent. I dripped some chocolate into a half-used cappuccino carto, and recently added a bit more chocolate. When the chocolate started tasting blah, I revisited RY4, which is better than I remember it. I should go through all the old cartos, which I do from time to time, but now I'm going to fill cartos with a bunch of new flavors. I'm excited!

So does that mean they wouldn't work well with SI carto's? I was thinking about trying some.

They vape ok. I usually thin them a little so they'll wick better but I still don't get much mileage out of a carto. It doesn't mean not to use them and I wasn't trying to say anything negative. Just stating my own experience and as I said YMMV. When I use them, and I still do, I plan on paying a litte extra for my pleasure. If it were all about the money there are a lot of juices out there that cost about half of what SI's cost for a 30ml bottle but I like the quality and taste and am willing to pay more. Applewood and RY4 are my favs by BWB hands down. Cherry, Vanilla and Bacco are right behind.

I haven't had that problem with BWB, I've been using the same carts (SIs) (each separate of course) with Applewood, Casablanca, Maple, Adirondack, Bacco and Virginia for over 2 months with no problems whatsoever. Haven't even had to clean them yet.

Those are all 70pg/30vg. The Malty and Malty Toffee are reversed and I'm glad you get better mileage than I do. If mine lasted that long I probably wouldn't vape anything else except Desert Joe, my fav SI juice. Without knowing for sure I'd guess SI to be around 90pg/10 or better. Sure it's going to wick best but that doesn't mean others won't work.

That's good to hear! I have Applewood, Casablanca, and 555 Exotic on the way; and since I've ordered, I've read a lot about people having problems with BWB and cartos.

The Applewood should be good straight outa the mailbox. Casa will improve with age and I've never tried the Exotic but the straight 555 needed some steeping.

I hate posting about another vendors stuff on this thread but thought I should clarify my experience. I was not trying to say anything negative about Don's juice. If they clog your cartos quicker just buy a few more and pay for your pleasure. If they don't that's great. Vaping habits can affect carto life too apparently. I tend to chain vape a lot and get them hotter than a lot of people. SI's system (batteries, cartos and liquid) is expertly designed and engineered to work together for optimum performance. That doesn't mean the components won't work with or play well with others.

we isolated the stainless blanks issue...

So that will not be happening anymore... anyone who got them and is not happy about it just let CS know and they will take care of it.

lol

OKay, I was wrong. 30ml bottle of 0mg and 3ml bottle of 18mg. Which is gonna be basically nothing. LOL Which is fine with me. I vape my banana all day long. The lower the nic, the better I feel..... both physically and emotionally. LOL

yep

3ml of 18 and 30ml of 0 would be:

18+0= 18 divided by 33 = .5454 Times 3 (ml of 18) would be 1.63 mg in 33ml

OKay, I was wrong. 30ml bottle of 0mg and 3ml bottle of 18mg. Which is gonna be basically nothing. LOL Which is fine with me. I vape my banana all day long. The lower the nic, the better I feel..... both physically and emotionally. LOL

I'm having a bad vaping week :(

No taste from most of my favs, and have a bunch to test too...(heavy sigh)

I am, too, Esoterica! I don't know if it's my tastebuds or what?!? I finally started vaping my cinnamon as that's the strongest I have and I know I can taste that! Hope both of our vaping experiences improve soon!

I just experienced this last week. Everything was blah even my cinnamon was muted. Finally, it passed.

If it's any consolation: I stopped having those spells about a year into vaping. It's certainly been a year and a half since I've had a bad vaping day. It must just be an physical adjustment thang.

I hope so, I'm nearly a year in. Hasn't happened in a while but still.......:blink:

Cindycated,

Where did you get your Bananas Foster? My banana is from ECBlends and tastes like banana taffy. It actually is very enjoyable and brings back lots of good childhood memories.

Bananas Foster is a pretty common flavor and you can get it from a lot of places I heard that Mrs. T's makes it the best, but I got mine from one of my cheapo places, Vapor Renu (zero income, severely limited funds left). Yummy nonetheless - it was new to me, and I had just never had it before...
