Now that sounds yummy. I never tried wakonda since it said it had tobacco in it, and I can't stand tobacco juices. I fell stupid in love with their betelgeuse. Found a decent enough clone and it is one of my AMVs (all month vapes) :D Right now I'm on iced lemon cookie. Made 450 mls of it a few months ago, and have vaped only that since I made it. Starting to get to the end of the jar now. Will start on the 700 mls of betelgeuse I made when I finish this :facepalm:
You don't use any tobacco flavoring in your version? I never tried Nicoticket's Wakonda because it had it, but I might like it without it.
I got a sample bottle of Betelgeuse and, while quite yummy, I'm no fan of fruity flavors.
Wakonda does claim to be a tobacco flavor though I didn't really notice it much; so I just eliminated it from my recipe altogether.

Ever had one of those days ?

My KF Prime was needing a new wick, so I took it apart and cleaned it up. I noticed the coil was looking pretty gnarly, so I wound a new one. Got it installed and wicked. Juiced it up and WOW ! Everything was juuuuuust right. Great flavor, good vapor production....it was vape goodness of the highest order all day. Made my day !

My scales, pipettes and nic base arrived today. PG & VG will be here tomorrow. Have to get some odds and ends I have around here rounded up, and I can start mixing. I'm going to go unflavored to start, see if I like it. But I'll probably order some flavors by next week. I'm really wound up about it....another rabbit hole to jump into feet first.

Nice job on the prime, and wahoooooo to getting your DIY ducks in order! A word of advice from someone who has a crap ton of flavors she doesn't use...........unless yur a flavor hog and it doesn't sound like it if you intend to try unflavored first...... find 2-3 simple recipes you think you might like.....we'll help and just buy the flavorings for those. I did a couple orders when ecigexpress had 30% off and I lost my mind buying all kinds of flavors that sounded good. what do I make? Two ADV's and a couple others that I make in smaller amts that I vape once in awhile. :facepalm:

On cleaning windshields:
There is a big difference in HOW it cuts through film between acidic liquids (vinegar, citric acid, lemon juice, etc.) and solvents (nail polish remover/acetone, alcohol/vodka, etc.). Mild acids may change the substance of the film to make it easier to remove, but are unlikely to damage plastic materials such as the dashboard, the seals around the glass, etc. Solvents (in small amounts) are likely to soften the film, making it easier to remove; in larger amounts they may completely dissolve the film (depending on what the film is composed of and the particular solvent), but larger amounts will be difficult to control and are likely to affect plastics like the dashboard and the seals around the windows.

I was writing about the windows in my apartment. Vaping is technically against the rules here, so I want to stay on top of it, since I would be liable for any damages.

Many have commented that, since the board software changed, email notifications aren't coming through. Watched Threads is the place to go :thumb:
Another thing I've noticed with the new SW is you used to be able to go to a reply and click on the arrow on the person that was being replied to and it would take you to that post, no more.

I can see that happening- 3 shelves full of little bottles that have 1 or 2 uses out of them, just sitting quietly ignored...and 2-3 big bottles that are constantly used. That is what I don't want, but I suspect eventually that is what I'll have. Thanks for the warning.

The PG and VG arrived this morning in a rather chilled state. I've got them out on the bench warming up to room temp now.

Likewise, works fine. What skin, Legs? I'm using the "new" aluminum.
