Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[DavidOck]

I've been getting temp gigs since I relocated, so this is exactly how I want to be prepped.

Who are some recommended suppliers?

I've had good results from ecigexpress, MyFreedomSmokes. Several others are also highly thought of, and I'm sure someone will come along shortly with those. Heck, I've only been on the diy juice bandwagon for less than a year

And as said, stocking up on 100 mg nic in PG for now is good insurance against the Deeming, whether or not you actually start mixing now. It will keep just fine in the freezer for many years!

 

[Robert Cromwell]

I just mix my PG/VG and then add nic to a mixture after I am satisfied with it.
I typically use under 10% total flavoring and nic so it does not cause me any real issues with my PG/VG ratio.

 

[DancingHeretik]

So you mix the nic & pg all at once?

I tried 0% nic eliquid once just to see how it was. I hated it. The nic seems to make a big difference in how well the flavor hits, to me anyway. So, I always mix nic, PG, and VG, then add flavoring as needed. Some people are happy testing the flavors in just PG and VG to save money on the nic.

You'll have to experiment for yourself. Everyone does it a little differently.

I'm different in that I use mostly graduated cylinders instead of syringes. I only use 1ml, 3ml, and 5ml syringes. For anything more, I have 10ml, 25ml, and 100ml plastic graduated cylinders.

There are lots of suppliers to choose from. I like RTS Vapes because they have the biggest variety of flavorings that I've seen. And, of course, they have everything else too. They even have a coupon code to get a discount for first time buyers. Let me see if I can find it.

Found it: FIRSTORDER is the coupon code.

Jup. Nic makes a big difference in flavor to me too.

I have nic from my freedom smokes
Sale - UnFlavored Nicotine E-Liquid Base - 1-Liter / 100mg I get it in all pg, sometimes they put in on sale for 40.00 buy two and shipping is free

pg/vg here 1 Gallon Veg Glycerin + 1 Gallon Propylene Glycol - FREE US SHIPPING
next time I get it, I'll need to get more vg since I use twice as much pg as I do vg.

Flavorings I got here. DIY E-Liquid, Electronic Cigarettes and Wholesale Nicotine & E-Cig Juice | EcigExpress
I use mostly flavour art, inawera and capella drops. I've got a bunch I need to go through and probably sell, since I went way overboard, and have since realized, I have my favorite juices, and just don't need to mix up everything that sounds tasty. Don't flavor shop if you're hungry! The reason I bought them here, is because both times I bought flavors, they were having a 30% off sale. Here FlavourArt Concentrated Flavorings, Partners with FlavourArt you actually get 13 mls for the same price as 10 at ecigexpress, but if sign up for their newsletter and get em at 30% off it's cheaper than eliquid mart. Some get theirs at wizard labs, I think you can get some for 1.49 but I don't really know what flavor makers they have. Some folks love TFA flavor (the flavor apprentice) but personally I don't and I don't want to use 20% or higher flavoring and you have to with those.

Hee Hee, I have 2 of all my fave mods. Wish they would reproduce, then I would be set!

I have several mods but have no idea how to tell the a male mod from a female mod. Oh well, with all the medical advances their is bound to be a 'conversion kit' to get the right mix.

Hey Mike Joyetech just launched a new mod. It's not even available in the states yet just China till next week. 2 18650's 150w settings for VW, Ni, Ti, SS, manual TCR they already have an upgrade firmware available to kick it to 200w heres the kicker $34.99 in China. Has dual battery bars. This stuff is just getting crazy. Called the Cuboid similar to a Graboid only hasn't come out with a movie yet. You've seen at least one of the Tremor movies right?

What's a Tremor movie?

The Cuboid looks nice ... I like it has replaceable batts.

Cuboid - Joyetech

 

[FlamingoTutu]

You haven't seen any of the Tremor movies?!

Nothing you wanna see, trust me

Num-num and Binky had a baby. The genes mixed funny. I guess copper is a recessive. Still un-named.

awwwwwwww we need pics......height weight etc! Congrats Grammy!!!

 

[FlamingoTutu]

Banana takes a while to blend/steep for best flavor. The blueberry is pretty much shake and vape.

Now that you mention it, I do remember the whole banana discussion. Steeping seems to be a must there.

I have mostly Wizard Labs nic but also some Nude Nicotine stuff pre-bottled for long term storage. Nude Nic sometimes has sales at 30%-40% off. You can also request a free sample from them, costs a couple of bucks for shipping. I just prefer those two but the others mentioned MFS, etc. are also well regarded. Some nic has a chemical and/or tobacco and/or very peppery taste so worth doing your homework before buying.

Charge their batteries and put them together in a comfy drawer, they'll figure it out.

Nothing you wanna see, trust me

If you're bored and go in with a sense of humor, they can be entertaining. All's not lost, it's coming back as a TV series with K. Bacon.

Congratulations!

oh good lord! But with some of the new tv series I've seen advertised lately, that would actually be an improvement!

Yepper ... after closing my eyes trying not to look at the pic the Flamingo posted ... nope not my kind of movie.

As to the Cuboid. Fastech has 'em on pre-order for $44 and a couple Philippine sites for $35USD pre-order.

I'll be passing for now ... I'm waiting for my Provape points to mature then it's another Radius coming my way. Joytech usually has decent products, so I'll keep my eye on this one mainly because of the size and replaceable batts ... I'm still iffy on getting back into TC vaping.

I just rewicked a KFV4 off my Radius and the coil was 'new' Nov 8th and I'll probably get another month from it. I don't think I could get 3 month's from a NI or TI coil. And honestly, for me, I wasn't getting a 'better' vape from TC then I do with the 'antiquated' kanthel coils I'm using.

We did just pick up a couple more Evic TC40's @ $20 each. There just so small and work well. These two will be set aside to replace the ones currently in use when the batts go. And we use these w/ KFL nano's and Kanthel coils.

huh-nuh I've seen iffy, and yur not him! (yanno I had to)

Jup. Nic makes a big difference in flavor to me too.

Due to my t-buds, I find that nic makes a diff, just not a big one.

I'm in da 'nic/PG/VG base, then flav' fan club. In some/many cases, flavoring can cost more than the nicotine per recipe or close enough to warrant a re-evaluation. Why mix up a great new test recipe, then add nic and find you 'lost' your 'sweet spot'?

Just my >$0.05 (my cost/ml joose)...

 

[Debadoo]

Just my >$0.05 (my cost/ml joose)...

ok.....do one you math whizzes wanna tell me what my cost per ml is?

I bought a gallon of pg and one of vg 50.00 say 60.00 for a liter of 100mg nic, not really sure what the shipping will be so I'm including 10.00 in the 60.00, figure that will also take care of shipping on the flavoring. My flavorings were 2.10 for 10 mls and I typically use 3-5% in my juice, so I reckin say 4% flavoring. I will run out of vg before pg, so not sure how that will figure in there. I make my base at 70 pg and 24mg nic.

Not mutch.

Not mutch.

that's MY kinda math! helluva lot cheaper than buying juice!
