Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[LittleBird]

@MattB101 have you used the DIY tab of Steam-Engine. I just tried it for the 1st time, wasn't useful for me. There's a button to add flavors, but when I click it nothing happens to allow adding flavoring/%'s. I tried it from my Mac and iPad - both use Safari browser.

Does the 'Flavor Button' work for you? As it is I could only use it for making different Nic Base solutions.

(or maybe Apple is so 'big-brotherish' I can't even use a Web based app w/ their browser to do DIY recipes. )

EDIT: Never mind, User Error. It's not a button, the word Flavor is a link in the box. Need to click on Flavor then it works. Duh me!

Thanks for the edit, Mike. I'd have been beyond frustrated if I tried to use it and it didn't work! No windows-based thingies here, either.

@NancyR, Welcome! Debadoo loves introducing new folks to the Porches, and we all love that she does it! It's a good thing, by the way, that you've settled into devices and toppers. Porchers are notoriously good at spending OPM!

For those of you who don't know me, I been vaping now for almost 4 years. Had a few rough patches but am getting over them and getting things back on track finally.

While I mostly use mech mods, mainly my Reo Mini at this point, I do own and use a MVP 3.0 pro and a Disrupter. I find Innokin products to be some of the few regulated devices to not only give me the type of vape I enjoy but somehow manage to last for me.

I have had very bad luck with regulated devices, including a Provari. Just figure it isn't meant for me to use regulated.

I am a tootle puffer, preferring things like a cisco 306 or a small chamber single coil rda to all this high powered low ohm craze that is the current flavor of the month.

Welcome to the porches, Nancy. Like others have said, no id required. Contribute when you can, take away what you need and relax when you can.

When I finally started vaping a flavor I vaped Rumchata that I got from a local B&M. It was all I vaped, so when I started DIY I tried to copy it. I found what I thought was close to the store vape, however, I knew it really wasn't close. On Halloween, I got a free 50ml of Rumchata for wearing my costume to the local B&M. It has sat on my shelf since then. About a week or so ago I found a recipe for a melon vape that I really like. Last night I loaded one of my tanks with the B&M Rumchata. Whoa, I did not like it at all! Finally, this morning I emptied the tank and cleaned it out. It is now reloaded with the melon. I also cleaned out the tanks that had my DIY Rumchata. It just really does not taste good. All of the above is prep for my question. Has anyone else had their taste change so drastically?

 

[DavidOck]

I've had a couple flavors that lost their appeal halfway through a tank, but otherwise, no.

But I've had many that, after vaping large amounts, found their way to the "do not re-order" / "do not re-mix" side.

I had the same problem.

The flavor button works fine for me. When you click on flavors then you have to click on add (little green type that says add) . A line that says "flavor 1" and an area for percentage. You can add the flavor name and percentage. Then click add again and continue until you have all you flavors added.

Guess I should have read the whole question before I answered. Had the same problem in high school.

Welcome to both porches Nancy! I don't post a lot myself, but I do read and enjoy (well, don't enjoy hard times or bad news, but I read it) every post.

Yeh, sure you don't. Who you kidding girl?

I've gone thru 4 slight changes so far. The first three were just enough to notice, but not enough to change my adv's. The last one made my CLR too strong a flavor for me. I think it.s the AP in it that was too strong. Could have just been the batch, tho. And I dropped a boubon, kahlua & cream I'd liked. But it gave me a blueberry cream I liked. I figure more changes will come. Hoping for tobaccos & more fruits in the future!

You want some tobacco flavors. I have a bunch of the small ones I got from Wizard Labs that I will never use. Send me an address and I'll send em to you.

My tastes have changed. I used to like more tobaccos (I extract my own tobacco flavors), but through the years I am liking more fruity and bakery flavors. I still like a good tobacco now and then, but not as much as I used to.

Yeh, sure you don't. Who you kidding girl?

Well, I have my moments..

I've had a bunch that I 'liked' for a tank or 2, then couldn't finishing the bottle. Then there was a juicy peach. Vape that a lot for a long time. Then one day ... just didn't like it anymore. Haven't had any peach flavors since.

OTOH ... is it possible the B&M changed the recipe or even made a mistake and didn't mix it correctly?

I had the same problem.

Shwew! Just wasn't this ol' man ... someone else had the same problem.

Yes.



It's been a long night and I haz a silly . I tend to fall head over heels for a flavor for a period and then, without rhyme or reason, I find I don't like it anymore. First it was banana, then CLR, and then, strawberry. I'm praying it doesn't happen with custards and gooey cinnamon danish!

Goin' to bed, now. Have a good sleep, dear Porchers!

Never fear there are lots of flavors out there

Taste changes all the time.

Never fear there are lots of flavors out there

I have been rating my thirteen flavors against each other, looking for some to retire from my regular lineup. That does not mean they will be perpetually retired, however-- because tastes change. I am zeroing in on two candidates. But not convinced, yet. Might end up dedicating one or two RTA's to my most favorites.

I'm planning on buying batteries this weekend with the Black Friday sales. I know what smaller batteries I want. But, there are so many choices for 18650s!

The ones I'm looking at so far are:
*NEW* AW IMR 18650 3.7v 3000mAh Flat Top
*NEW* AW IMR 18650 3.7v 2200mAh
LG 18650HG2 3000mAh 20a
Samsung INR18650-25R 2500mAh Green

I guess the AW IMR 18650 button top would be best for Provari. But, everything else takes flat top, right? I need batteries for REO, Xvo clone, and mechs. Any advice/recommendations?

 

[Diver9543]

Thank you, everyone, for your input on changing flavors. I had already suspected that, just didn't think it could change in such a short amount of time.
