Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 2

[AndriaD]

No need for a second kitchen, just do what I did and toss out all the pot and pans, lots of room in the cupboards now.

ROFLMAO!!!! I guess I could, but I put up such a fuss to GET the silly cookware ("IT MUST BE STAINLESS!!! NOTHING ELSE WILL DO!!!")... And the other half might freak out if I stopped cooking; he seems pretty partial to my culinary efforts. Too bad he doesn't vape, he could be my guinea pig for e-juice!

I've now got 10ml more vapable Virginia than I had before, but I'm thinking that might be more due to the VG Virginia that I mixed in, than the flavored PG.

I discovered that this Virginia flavoring has a distinct odor of that celery smell I got, when I used the iClear16. What's the best way get rid of that? Leave the cap off the flavoring bottle? Mix up a 1% batch of it with PG and let it steep/age? I know a lot of you folks are DIYers, so any guidance on getting rid of that smell will be EXTREMELY welcome. I only used 5ml of the 10ml 18mg VG Virginia that I got, so I still have 5ml left for future efforts, if there's some way of getting rid of that celery smell in the flavoring.

Thx!!

I'm not sure about the cost difference, but ecigexpress has free shipping till the end of march, which is great for heavy stuff like nic & vg

Thanks, that's very cool! I see that they have other varieties of Virginia flavoring, and I might try some of those.

Thx!!!

Provari. Hmm...

Mama always said we iz too poor to buy cheap stuph.

However (Yeah, I am curious), to me, the specs don't work. May be built like a tank but tanks can be blown up.

I'm quite content with my SVD. I use VW more than VV. And I like my MVP2 as well. Just that some day the batt will die in the MVP and it hits the garbage can. (of course someone will likely come up with a hack for replacing it as soon as they start dropping dead in the wild.)

So will I bite the bullet and grab one? Umm... probably. Some day. Just not today. Especially since I can buy 2 or 3 "inferior" products (with more features) for the same price as one.

Thatz my opinion n' I'm stuk wid it.

 

[Dominique Hoogduin]

question is.. will the provari continue to exist. Im sure our svd's mvp's will continue to poor in from lawless and taxless china

 

[Dominique Hoogduin]

Well.. ordered some stuff from virgin vapor can buy that stuff locally but its cheaper to order it stateside (LOL yes even with added shipping). Time to try out some vg juice.

 

[Myrany]

Your first report on the P'vary got me in the 'gotta get one of those' mood, but now since you can't tell the difference in the P' and the Vamo...no more flame in that fire.



Got a Hammer 'Clone' on order from FT...says 'Ready to Ship'. Don't know why it should set there for a few days before it is shipped, but that's Slow Tech...I mean Fast Tech.

When it arrives, guarantee it will be out and about with me. I need the exercise, quit beer a long time ago, so it looks like a suitable exercise replacement.

HUH? I said you CAN tell the difference not you Can't.
/me confused

Actually I strongly suspect you will see washington vaping companies like provari simply leave the state. That severe a tax is just stupid.

Just so weird having a country with all these mini countries making their own rules ;/ But i guess thats were the EU is heading too.. although they would like a tighter control over their minion states.

Stupid Question of the Day ...

Why do all the mech mods I look at seem to take these special batteries .. ??? No body makes one that takes just AA rechargeable .. ??

 

[Ken_A]

If I'm that worried about shipping cost for nic, I can just drive the 45 min to pick up at Wizard Labs direct

In a word... battery life.
Ooops. thatz 2 werds.

Suffice to say, with regular batts you would have trouble getting an hour out of them.

I hope they relocate. I plan to buy, but not before the end of the year and that would be after the tax takes effect. If that happens, no Provari for me.

 

[AndriaD]

Maybe they'll see how GA is "first for business" and come down here. Of course that's IF our idiot politicians can refrain from enacting similar stupid laws. They'll probably be too busy arguing bout the $5000 tax break for electric cars.

Realistically the companies that make alot of money will leave the state. The smaller companies will just close their doors.

Never forget this is a somewhat retroactive tax as every company will have to pay it on everything they have in stock when it passes. Many smaller vape shops and companies will not be able to absorb that big a hit all at once.

 

[Iowa Gal]

Isn't it sad to see the US companies in jeopardy and driving up the sales for the Chinese products. I'm not saying anything against products made in China (heck most electronics are) it just sucks than an American Company making a top notch product could be driven out of business..it's just wrong.

Really glad I went ahead & ordered my P'vari, and it should be delivered TODAY! I'm so excited

Woohoo! New vape gear arriving.

Last year, I "put away" in my freezer, 6000ml of nic solution .. at my age, it's more than a lifetime supply ..

However, if what you say comes to pass, I could be tempted to capitalize

he, he - nic flipping may replace mod flipping in the near future.

The last 2 hobbies I have seriously gotten involved with- shooting/reloading and vaping- have both suffered from gubment involvement. After our fearless leader was elected the first time, primers vanished. They had just began coming around, and he was r-elected. Primers and powder both vanished again. Primers are showing back up, but powder is still real scarce. Glad I stocked up after the first drought. Now, vaping is under attack ! Time to stash stuff away, again.....

My next hobby is going to be politics, maybe those dolts will start disappearing like powder, primers and vape stuff has....

Sent from the north 40 via soon to be outlawed or taxed to death messenger cow

Vote for Bolivar - let's make politicians disappear.

I understand your pain - I haven't touch my Dillion equipment in quite some time. Can't even believe the cost of some .22 plinking ammo, if you can find it.

You're being too harsh, but I'm thinking there's some sarcasm there. Like I said on the back porch,

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/lounge/520776-older-folks-vaping-back-porch-part-2-a-84.html#post12488074

I'd be hard pressed to do a blind fold taste test of my Provari vs: my Zmax and tell the difference between the vapes.

Stupid Question of the Day ...

High drain, amp ratings, voltage to name a few UW. Consider a AA is only 1.5 volts and lithium batts are 4 volts when fresh. You just can't 'push' a ni-cad 1.5 volt batt enough to light up a coil without killing the batt.

It's tough for a business to pick up and move but it happens. One of the vape companies did leave Utah for a better climate. Even big non-vaping company's can send messages to state gov-ments. Remington has been in NY for like ever, and they just announced a new plant in Alabama which will have about 2000 employees. Speculation is they may leave New York altogether.

 

[AndriaD]

So, none of you DIYers know how to kill that "rotten celery" taste in a tobacco flavor? Cap off? Pre-mix with PG and let it steep/age? Anything at all???

really bummed

What is the recipe and how long has it been? I'm just getting my feet wet into the tobacco flavors but I know they are all over the map until they steep a couple weeks.

(insert smartass comment here) What percentage of celery did you add?
