Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 2

[Wolfenstark]

I haven't much felt the need for beakers. Mostly I make small batches directly into a bottle (30ml batches into a 60ml bottle, or 100ml batches into a 120ml bottle). I use a 100ml graduated cylinder for the bigger batches, and I just use syringes to squirt liquids into the bottles for the smaller batches. But that's just me, if you think beakers will help, then you should be able to pick some up without too much trouble. The things I've found most useful are 5ml syringes with 18gauge needles, and one big 30ml syringe for measuring VG (I got it at a local pet store, where they sell them as feeding syringes). I use a 1ml syringe fairly often as well, but mostly the 5ml syringe.

Oh, and I use a 180ml squeeze bottle for dispensing VG into the 30ml syringe or graduated cylinder.

I was thinking perhaps some sort of container to put the liquids in then put the mix into another bottle - try to get some with a dripper top.

Got two 3ml syringes and two 10ml and got four 18guage blunt needles.

The other day i put on a needle and drew up some water and wasn't that pleased as when i was pushing it out there was a gap between the rubber base thingy in the syringe and the water and even when fully pressed there still seemed to be some water in the needle.

Just had some vapes on the sigelei - With a spring 510 pin on a mod do you screw in the atty as much as it will go or just until there is some resistance or it doesn't matter if it vapes and reads the atty its good ?

I pretty much mix like Sloth does.

When you draw the liquid into the syringe you will get that air bubble in there. You can flip the syringe upside down and then carefully push in the plunger to get the bubble out of there. Cover the tip to absorb the dribble as you do it. Yes, there will be a bit left in the needle. If you're insanely picky about your recipe, pull out the plunger again and then squirt that excess into a paper towel or the sink. I usually wipe the outside of the needle and draw up the next liquid to be measured.

Yes, that's normal. Let a little air into the syringe so that there's a bubble between the rubber part on the plunger and the liquid. You'll still have a little liquid left in the syringe when it's fully depressed, but probably less, and it's less than it looks like.

 

[Wolfenstark]

Thanks folks yeah I'd like to know whats normal and good , don't want to start assuming.

I'd make a terrible pastry chef, because I'm not that precise. If I'm shooting for 3ml of something and I end up somewhere between 2.9ml and 3.1ml, I generally consider that close enough for government work, and call it a win. I figure I'll probably be adding a ml of this or a ml of that along the way anyway, and it's not like I can really tasted the difference. I haven't really hit the "perfect recipe" yet, maybe I'll be more precise if I ever do. I am really enjoying this, though:

• 13.8ml VG
• 4ml nic (100mg/ml)
• 2.5ml Graham Cracker TFA
• 3.6ml Strawberry TFA
• 2.6ml Sweetener TFA
• 2ml Bavarian Cream TFA
• 2.6ml Sweet Cream TFA

I didn't think there was enough strawberry at first, but after a few days steeping, the strawberry is really coming through. I'm not sure exactly what the Graham Cracker is bringing to the table. I may have to try that flavor on its own, just so I can recognize it better.

 

[Wolfenstark]

I understand a graham cracker is some sort of biscuit can be used in crusts.

Once upon a time ye olde bread and butter pudding was made with Bread now many use Panettone or croissant.

So the crust component could be substituted - hmmm a donut liquid or a cookie liquid or a butter flavoured liquid.

The other day i was saying how strawberries and balsamic vinegar go together - Now get that into the mix -

 

[Wolfenstark]

Do you know that apparently strawberries and tomatoes can be substituted.

Who is up for some pasta and strawberry sauce ?

I don't think my taste buds would buy that. It's getting late Wolf, need to hit the sack. Have a great day and enjoy the new toy.

 

[bigbells]

Well some in the past arrived with a charge but then i read make sure batteries are fully charged before using so put them in the charger.

I was more into waiting to get it than thinking ahead.

That's an old rule not applicable to lithium batteries.

I think these samsung batteries I got are lithium & Nickel ?
They're INR

They're lithium-ion batteries, regardless of the secondary substance.

I choose to forget about the bad purchases - Though its an enjoyable experience on the whole.

Trying to stop the purchase until next year - Though these lemo drops read nice.

Around say 90 feet of 28 gauge and the same 26 well 30 meters of each and not really sure how much I've used. still around 4 meters of rayon and 5 pads of KGD Four batteries for this new mod but is that enough and for how long.

Think i'll see if i can pick up some beakers or similar at a shop around here for DIY.

As Sloth already said, you might want to consider a graduated cylinder instead of a beaker. You can accurately add 1 or 2 ml of an ingredient to a graduated cylinder, but because a beaker is so wide, you can only guess when adding such a small quantity to a beaker.

If you pull slowly, you can decrease the amount of air.

I don't believe for a second that strawberries are interchangeable with tomatoes, but if you read it on the Internet it must be true.

These are graham crackers. They're made with graham flour, which is a type of whole wheat flour. When used as a pie crust ingredient, you crumble them. Maybe the word "biscuit" means something different to you than it does to me.

Biscuit is Brit for cookie.

We have a glorious history of refusing to use the British name for something, taking a British word and using it to mean something entirely different, and doing things differently from the British just for the heck of it. Why do we ride on the right side of the road? Because the British ride on the left.

We defeated them in a long and expensive war, with long supply lines. They learned from that, and from then on gracefully semi-detached whenever any of their colonies demanded freedom. Except for India. They had troubles with that, because India had not become culturally British. They ignored the fact that India had a high civilization when the Brits painted themselves blue.

Factor in what your future medical expenses would have been, plus how much better you feel now and how much you enjoy fiddling with ecigs, and you are way ahead.


NOTICE: 50 pages before we have to move. Can we have a beach view from the new porch? Don't have to be on it, just see it from the porch.

I could start working on a new design if you would like???

I was thinking more about just ensuring we had a nice view and plenty of rockers...

Hey, if my requests exceed your abilities there are other virtual architects, I'm sure.

 

[DavidOck]

Um, must have a covered veranda, and if you can't manage the rest, I'll be ok

 

[Frenchfry1942]

I like the "plenty of rockers". just a relaxing place for a vape.

As long as the other side of the porch looks something like this, I will be happy
