Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Three

Yup. They should just plug in, Deb. Personally I like wireless, but that'z me. Kinda stuck on sennheisers.

They make really nice headphones. Had a set as monitor headphones in the 70s when I worked at the radio station. Have played around with some of the new ones lately, impressive and sound great. Little proud of them though (pricey for the good ones).

Some years back, when my hands were much more steady and I was actively promoting my work and had a brochure .. one of the catalog pages :

You mean of the pile of wood, metal and abalone it started out as .. ?? It's not a restoration, it's made from scratch, just like a good biscuit ..

that's essentially it. but I reckin you mean mixing stuff. Iffy has a minimal list. But I plan to make my nic base........and use vaping zone flavors so I just add drops since it's super concentrated. It can be this simple


he just fills nic up so high in a plastic bottle, then adds vg. I don't like plastic, but can do the same thing in glass. Then just pull some out and add some flavor in smaller bottles. You may want some 1cc syringes for flavorings. I have a milk frother that I will use to mix my base and some wide mouth 120ml amber glass bottles from amazon. I'm sure others will pipe in who have actually done it. lol

Thanks for the info on mixing. I'll do some more research, then pick some brains for flavors. Gonna put the little one down for a nap now. Have fun kids.

I can hear you through bells' phone. LOL!

Now that was an interesting lash up!

Oh heck, in that case it's absolutely gorgeous (not that it wasn't but, even more so knowing you built it from the ground up). Great job.

I shop for flavors at Wizard Labs. Small quantities are available for experimentation and reasonable prices. They carry most of the major Flavoring brands (TFA etc.) and best of all they're in Orlando. I don't know if you can pick up because they're not a B&B. You could by prior arrangement when they were in Ft. Lauderdale.

Forgot the URL... Wizard Labs

I also buy PG and VG from them occasionally and that's where I got all my measuring and mixing gear. Everything I got is Borosilicate Glass but, they do carry plastic for the clumsy or frugal.

Sure would be quick to order from them even if they don't have B&M. I saw Pg and VG on Amazon by Froggy's Fog. It's food grade, but don't really know how reputable they are. $34.00 a gal

cya later peach! There is a bit more to it if you use flavors like TFA where you use a much larger percentage of flavoring, but still fairly simple with a juice calculator like ejuicemeup

Wowzer...that's gorgeous. Love MOP

 

[Debadoo]

for pg and vg, many recommend essential depot, and it's where I got mine. 60.00 for a gallon of each with free shipping. I got mine on sale for 50.00 for the two gallons

That is amazing! Absolutely beautiful.

I thought everyone knew I'd been doing custom instruments for 30+ years .. guess it was a long time ago on a thread far far away that I talked about it .. surely someone remembers .. ?? That, the sound / studio work, "Brother Loves Travelin' Salvation Show" PA rig is what kept me in shoes ..

That seems expensive (might not be, haven't shopped around lately). Tractor Supply carries both but I don't know the cost. I really like WL stuff. Always clean and top quality. Their Nic is always crystal clear, I usually buy 100mg/ml and mix it down myself.

 

[Debadoo]

my son would go nuts over those willie!!

 

[garyoa1]

Absolutely stunning, Unc.

But um... psst... ya furgot the stringz!

I knew about the studio/PA work and heard you talking about repair and such but, didn't put two and two together. Really nice work. I better understand your frustration with the apprentice situation as well. Not being able to pass on those skills is a real shame.

When yer dealin' with folks that only eat the yellow M&M's, you let them decide when the check clears ..
