Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[Debadoo]

I made a new recipe today, Mango Custard.

Sounds yummy, love me some mango!

Matt, posted on the Back Porch too. The recipes will download right into breakthrough software's ejuicemeup calculator.

I'd saved that the other day on the BP, but didn't know they would go straight into EJMU, kewl!

Mostly use 30.

me too. 8 wraps, dual coils net 1.3 ohms on 2.5mm rod. I just seem to get better flavor and TH on duals than a 1.3 single

OK - here is mine all done.

That's awesome Ken! Love the purple, green and yellow.....but when you make mine, would you leave out the orange please! hehehe

batteries should come Monday and then I think I am pretty much done with serious prepping.

that's gotta be a good feelin! I'll feel good when I get about 7 or 8 liters of nic in the freezer, but that's gonna take me awhile. I hope I can get it done before it's too late.

"Still vaping? Fantastic!" as I pulled out my mod and took a vape. She said "Yes, 1 1/2 years, and it's all because of YOU!". It was a good day.

meant to wooo hooo this also on the BP but got too excited over Geordi and forgot!

Pretty

That's so kewl! Love microscope pics, and that's neat your checking out the cotton/rayon claims. never used rayon, but love my kgd.

errr, ummm, ahhh, ... if you're not buying coils and building coils ... what the heck are you vaping?

I had the post quoted to ask but ya beat me to it. Glad I wasn't the onliest one that was cornfoozled. lol

First I want to see if some physical change happens when the individual fibers are wet vs dry (over atmospheric absorption) ; twisting, swelling, etc.

I dont see any deformation in either wet sample.

The swelling over atmospheric according to research should be ~8% for both materials.

I suspect it is the fiber allignment that allows rayon to wick well at higher density.

Less entanglement would also explain why it settles a bit while natural cellulose locks up some liquid within its bundle structure.

Makes total sense. I imagine that one being a natural, organic fiber, vs a synthetic would make a difference.

You prolly won't like it but it is simple. Too weak for most people, but I likes it.
CAP Vanilla Custard V1 1.5 ML
CAP Vanilla Whipped Cream .3 ml
Stevia 5 drops
1.5 ml 100 mg nic.
50/50 PG/VG 26.7 ml

Going to try new variations soon.
Maybe a touch of eggnog?
Some other cream flavoring?

Thank you. I will give it a try.

Sounds yummy, love me some mango!

Thanks.
I like it so much I made a 50ml batch, but I made it 60vg 40pg. Nice and smooth.

Easy entanglement test: two pieces with approximately equal pack density. (top rayon, bottom KGD)

Cut off compressed ends, put in plate full of water, jiggle plate scientifically

(top rayon)

Rayon has much less entanglement to block capillary flow when compressed.

I don't think natural vs synthetic has anything to do with it, cellulose is cellulose. If you combed long fiber cotton so all the strands were alligned there should be no difference.

That drip tip did not come on the tank did it?

No. The tank comes with one of those short tips that seem to be so common lately. The one on it is one of mine. I like that particular tip so I ordered 5 of them from Fasttech a while back. I'm sure what's up with those short tips. I really hate when.my lip bounces off the tank.

I'm not buying Nautilus coils or any other brands & not going to get into rebuilding those little buggers either. I'm going to stay with my Kayfuns.

Ok, now that makes sense.

Why I likes my salon coil cotton. Fluffy not compressed aligned fibers. Makes excellent Scottish Roll types of wicks.

Are you using the sally cotton or rayon?

The Sally cotton.

Never mind

For those worried about FDA,and I do not blame you, I'm worried too, but just to let you know. The Tube has some vids showing how to extract nic from tobacco. It doesn't look like anything a skilled cook couldn't do. Plus I'm sure the nic can be extracted from a patch, just not sure how yet.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Problem with home extracted nic is inconsitent strength.

This is true, but the point is you do not have to be without, even if you cant afford to stock up.

 

[Butch]

Plus I would think that a little practice would bring at least some consistency.

Anything you could do at home would extract mostly cotinine. Sorry

On the 1st cooking that is true but using a very simple still , made from 2 bottles & some tubing it can be distilled to nicotine.

That is what I saw in the vid.

Doesn't work that way. Once nicotine is oxidized you can't get it back.

Now I get it. I gave up long ago rebuilding those little factory coils.

Maybe you should consider re-posting this over in the rayon thread. Jeremy might be interested in what you've pointed out. It's long been said 'over there' that rayon collapses and cotton swells and that's why you need to use more rayon than cotton.
