Ya I have looked around in there. I think it scared me more. Lol I wish I could remember the site that had the pg/VG already mixed 50/50. I looked for that app yall mentioned but seems android does not have it.

And thanks for the offer of a free dog, but dang it I already have 3 of those free loaders and a shady cat that is trying to kill the dogs off. Lol

The stickies make it sound you will immediately self-destruct when you hit the buy button for the nic. Freaked me out for a good long time. Try 60mg/ml nic first to get confident with it. When just starting and making your test batches, don't put the nic in until you are sure you like the recipe, saves money. There are a couple of porchers that are just starting DIY and they can relate to your position. I'm sure someone can help with the calc problem also, there was some discussion about it recently on here.

Sounds like you have a very normal gang of pets. :lol:

This is true. I just wish i was not a chain vaper. I never put mine down. It does not matter the nic, i think it is all a hand to mouth thing so i had to lower the nic so i did not kill myself. lol i spend almost as much on liquid as i did on cigarettes. It is just sad.
I started at 24mg. Vaped just like I smoked, except I found I was starting each hit as mtl, then finishing it as direct to lung, slipstreaming a little. I still do that & don't pay any attention to it. After a few months at 24mg I felt like I was vaping less, but still getting too much nic. So I dropped to 18 mg. I did fine at 18 mg. Vaped a little more than I had been, but wasn.t craving & didn't feel over nicced any more. Well, that went so well, so easily, I decided to go down to 12mg. Now I live a a stressful situation, & I started chain vaping. I went back up to 18mg & have stayed there. I go for a time vaping less, & then something happens & I vape more. But not chaiin vaping & I still don't feel over nicced. Call me Goldilocks.

@3mg Meniere, but you don't have one of these yet :D


Is that you MikeE3? What is the set-up if so; I don't see how it would be possible to make any more clouds with something that fits in your mouth.

Reminds me of a old clunker going down the road that burns more oil than gas with all the cloud flowing out!

No that is definitely not me! I don't know what it is ... I bumped into that vid someplace else on ECF and it just stunned me that someone could actually inhale that much vape ... not so much that someone could build the vape machine ... but that someones lungs could handle that. Yikes!

unh-unh. Each mod has three Orchids. Four mods is enough to banish all possibility of vaper's tongue. Of course, I have always rotated flavors fast enough that I have never had problems that way. I have ten juices in my stable, and really want to add another two to my rotation. Since I started dedicating one flavor to each Orchid, my enjoyment has increased.
Give us your monies, we'll get you mod poor, fast! I'm up to 18 Kayfuns, & 4 or 5 Magma's. Kayfun's are SS, RoseGold, White, & Black. Magma's because they screw together & I can get them apart easily. Plus the flavor & airflow is great. I see more of those coming for possible future bf options. Now I'm focusing on more mods, nic, & flavors.

Well welcome Vic and Fitz. I am kind of a weird vaper. I find something I really like and I buy a bunch. I am also a weird DIYer. I found these Russian flavors and I have about 10 I really like. Not all or any are willing to spend the time with getting it and some just do not like the flavors but for me they work great. They only take 2% and almost all are good by themselves. I spend a little more on VG/PG and buy it already mixed to 50/50 same with my nic. I hate trying to mix different flavors so the way I do it I can whip up 3 or 400ml in about 30 min. I make 100ml batches of the ones I like and my favorite faves I make in 200ml batches. I am down to 3mg of nic so that is a moot point. With this particular flavor it is so easy 100ml=3ml 100mg nic, 2ml flavor and 95ml of 50/50 VG/PG so it comes out about 52/48. That's all there is to it. But like I say most people get their flavors from mainstream flavor makers which there is nothing wrong with at all. Cheaper and my tastes are different I guess. What ever floats your boat. There isn't a wrong way. Except smoking.
I have always been interested in those flavors but too rich for my wallet.
I mix Cap VCV1 at 4-5% and CAP Cinnamon danish swirl at 2%. with about 3% CAP Sweet Cream.
Some of us just taste things more I suppose.
Recipes I automatically cut by 75% on the flavoring and it usually works for me.

I dunno whether to call that silly or stupid.

I have an eliquid calculator on my phone called Eliquid recipe Lite. Got it from either the Play Store or Amazon. Free. I don't like it as much as ejuicemeup on my laptop, but it can get the job done. I know there are others too.

Heck that would be cool. I vape at 3mg and the wife at 6 or 3. we would have stuff for years at that rate. lol we usually like 50/50 liquids. I have seen places that sell the vg/pg in 50/50 already mixed so i thought that would be my best bet and then get the nic. It is the mixing part that will screw me all up. Finding the right syringes and stuff. i see all these beakers and that just throws me off. If i could just make a good ry4 and a good froot loops i think i would be good. The other stuff is just for something different when i get home so i dont use up all my ADV so fast. My wife has hoarded so much liquid and she does not vape as much as i do each day. I have at one time put her on hold and she could not order anything else. lol we ran out of room to store her stuff. lol
Syringes are on Amazon. I have 30ml that I use for pg/vg for batches over 30ml. I use 1ml, & 10 ml the most for flavors & nic. I don't premix my base, I do my flavors, nic & pg/vg in that order for every bottle I make. I put it all directly into the bottle for the size batch I'm making. I got the same wide mouth bottles Deb uses from Amazon, syringes, measuring cup with ml's marked, & my first quart sizes of pg & vg from Essential Depot, all from Amazon. I got a liter 100mg/ml nic from MFS on sale. All this to start, & then I had to decide on flavors. Picked a few recipes that used most of the same flavors & ordered sample sizes from Wizard Labs at 1.49 each. I figured pg, vg, & nic I could make myself even if I was no good at recipes.

It has gotten expensive since I started buying, but this is how I started 'DIY' and got stuck there.... 0mg Doubler™ (Custom VG) - Tasty Vapor PG/VG however you want it with whatever flavor you want. Very customizeable. :) I still have several bottles in my fridge from a couple years ago. I'm using very lite flavor nowadays.

Hang in there Goldilocks. :wub: Nic has its bennifits too. Going up to my parents in two weeks, making a batch of 18 or 24 to take with me for those "special moments."
I dunno whether to call that silly or stupid.
Pfffft to both of you. :) I think it's kind of funny. Looks like a portable version of the Legal Vape 4000 (for the uninitiated, you'll have to google it 'cause you aren't allowed to post the video here, mentions other stuff). If I see a bunch of people sitting around using them, well, tossup, silly or stupid. :lol:
