I'll check out the recipes on here. I've got everything to try the ones Ken put up, thanks. I see the big cloud puffers, but i don't really understand if they are having fun, having a friendly competition or just socialising. Well, whatever floats their boat.
I am going to chase down some tea flavouring, anyone tried a good one?

I tried a few tea flavors. The only one I got to like is TFA Earl Grey. I use 6% Earl Grey with 6% Honey and some sweet cream. That much honey sounds over the top, but I had been trying to make a good Earl Grey for a while and I couldn't quite get it right. Someone suggested equal parts with honey so I tried it and loved it.

See, I have 14 mods in rotation. 5 of them are quack's juices. And any of the 5 could be an ADV. So I have a lot of ADV's. :D The others are for a change of pace and I may go days before I suck on any of em.

    Sounds about right!

    I was kinda looking things over, and Hell, I've only spent somewhere around 3-4 hundred dollars total to vape for those 5 years. (and that includes juice)

    Earl Grey is my favorite tea and I drink close to two quarts a day. Not a fan of sweet tea. Have you tried it by itself without cream or honey, and how was it?

    I'm trying to decide if I want to use straight VG in my Russian flavors and try 5% DW for thinning or if I want to make it 90/10 VG/PG to thin. The VG that I have is not one of the pre thinned ones I've heard of it is like maple syrup. Get it from a place called Froggeys at Amazon. It is really thick. I tried thinning it like supposedly the Ducks is with 5% PG 95% DW which makes it 19ml of water in 100ml but that is too much, makes the whole juice the same thickness as Ducks flavoring which I mix about 50/50 with my straight VG juice and it comes out just right so does the Ducks makes the 100ml just right. I meant to send them an email and ask what they use and how much in their flavoring. I think I'll try 5% DW and the only PG will be from my flavors so total of 3ml there and the nic is 50/50 so I would end up with about 5% DW 5% PG 90% VG. Just thinking out loud to cornfuse everyone. I can always add more DW and nic.

    The Qwak family says their juice is 100%VG so they either have to use DW in their DIY or pre thinned VG cause it is not thick enough to be straight VG.
    Y are u so obsessed with thinning everything?
    Just a little Gary I mean look at their DIY flavors they are not straight VG to be so thin and the juice they make is perfect as far as vaping so I'm guessing they use DW. They vape much better then using my Russian stuff which are all PG but I only use them at 1.5% each and the juice is way thicker then Quacks is when its done and vapes much better then straight VG when you are using a juice that you only use 1.5%. If I was using a juice that ended up with 10% flavoring it would be no problem. I think I will try 5% DW and if it comes out too thick still I can always add more but if I put too much I can't take it out.

    Um... wut have u got to compare it with if u never got their prepared joose? It's thick!!!! And flavoring itself is a whole other world. Ever use pure vanilla extract? It's like water. Just Do NOT taste it!

    Well I went with 5% DW we'll see how it turns out looks a little thin at the moment but so does the ducks when I first make it. This Quak Snak really smells good. If the smell has anything to do with it I'll think I'll like this one even better then the Giz.

    This is from their site, Legs, from the Goose Juice DIY listing:

    "To replicate our flavors exactly we recommend 20% DIY flavoring, nicotine in a VG base and the balance of your mix with 100% VG.

    To get the best flavors, let your mix open air age for 7 to 14 days before using"

    So perhaps any "thin-ness" in the flavoring itself thins it sufficiantly?

    Exactly what I do except my nic is in a 50/50 base but I only use 3mg and per Gary I don't leave it open while it steeps otherwise exactly what I do, its great.

    The only complaint I have about their juice is it is a terrible coil gunker. I took a coil out tonight that I've had in for well over a month and it was a lot better then after 10 days of their juice. But thats ok I really like some of them and coils are cheap. If I had problems making coils I wouldn't use it. Other then that I wouldn't change anything about the ones I really like which I have a feeling the Qwak Snak will be another. I'll let you know in a week. I have plenty of Goose Juice and getting it set ahead so I won't run out of aged stuff. I need to order somemore but waiting to see how this stuff is. At least a week. Then I'll have to order another Giz and a Kwak.

    I have decided that I am changing my style of vaping. I have been vaping 5mg Nic in 50/50 Juice and using TC with Ni200 coils. I'm a chain vaper and don't want to figure out how much I go through in a day. I got some Kayfun V3.1 tanks and fixed them up with 1.3 - 1.5 Ohm coils. Vaping at 12 Watts I am getting a great vape. I have the Kayfun V5 set up the same way and I find the V5 to be very airy and not conducive to MTL vaping. I have verified that I have the V5 set for the tightest draw and there is still to much air. Is there anything else I can do to get a tighter draw on the V5?

    @Diver9543 you can purchase an air reducer kit for the Kayfun 5.

    IIRC, thatz one of the reazonz I never liked the K-funnniez. Too mutch aggravation for me. But, as alwayz, YMMV.
    I like to take the top off, fill it, put the top back on. Done. No fiddling required.

    I have 16 kf''s and flavors in rotation, do an assembly-line twice a month. Not fiddly, fast.
