Headin' down to da 'office' yesterday, pulled up behind a younglin' in a pic-um-up at a red light. He glanced back, saw me tootle-puffin' and proceeded to emulate on ol' steam locomotive. T'was amazing how much vapor he plumed!
One of the carry out kids at Walmart carried out my stuff last month & had a wooden box mech & rda in his back pocket. We talked vaping & now he comes over to carry my stuff out for me when he sees me in the store. He.s only 19 but started smoking at 14 & is now vaping 3mg. He goes to the Community College next tp my apartments. He's a real sweetheart.

if yu use the funnel in anything smaller than a 120 ml bottle make a bottle holder. A block of wood with a hole drilled in it to fit the bottle base in to keep it upright.
Small empty bottles WILL tip over when you fill the funnel on the top with pg/vg.
I wound up needing an extra hand...
Why I don't use funnels now.

Stainless would be fine - lots of RTAs are :)

But a small enough tip might be hard to find.
Most of the funnels tips are either too big to fit in the top of the bottle, or too small the let the juice flow. I know angled tips help the flow. I may end up getting a small one & cutting the tip off at an angle where it starts to widen in the funnel. I'll mechanic it.

I just picked up Anchor glass measuring cups, One 2 cup that goes to 500 ML and a 1 cup that goes to 250 ML. Then two 150 ML beakers. All in the kitchen area at Wall-mart. Total cost was less than 15 dollars. Now all I have to keep on hand is the small syringes for nic juice and flavor.

I still need to find a glass funnel or something like that for transferring juice to 30 ml drip bottles. I forgot to look for that :(
I use a 20ml syringe with a blunt tip I think 20 gauge needle the syringe goes to 25ml so works good. When it gets to to bottom of the bottle I have a 35ml beaker to pour it in and draw it out of there.

I use the baby funnels to transfer nic to smaller glass bottles for the freezer. Set the bottle in the sink, hold the funnel with hand and pour with the other. If the bottle starts to tip, rarely, the funnel spout keeps it upright. I hold the funnel up a bit so it doesn't "seal" the bottle. Haven't lost any nic yet but man, what a mess with the 30ml bottles. Guess it's another of those "works for me" things.

Think I got the funnels off of Amazon.

I loved my Korc's and associated syringes. Just leave em stuck in the tops of the bottles all the time.
No cleanup and nothing gets in the bottle or on the syringe tip.
Got the Korc with 10 ml syringe for 1.49 at Krogers.
It is actually for dispensing medicine to infants and such.

I'm building coils tonight. I have 10 Kayfun bases here. I'm going to build them all and label them with the resistance. So, they'll all be ready to go.

One down so far. A bit high (2.5 ohms). But, it's the third try. So, I'm not gonna do it again. So there!

I caught this in another thread, had to share
If you own more than one Provari, but you've still got an old tube style TV in 1 of the rooms in your house, youuu might be a collection-vaper... If you have more than 5 mechanical mods, & each have their own RDA or tank, yep, youuu might be a collection-vaper... If you have at-least two of the same $50+ regulated mod, well then, youuu might be a collection-vaper, yup! If you have ever been a part of the great refresh-wars of 2012-2013, trying your best to get an iHybrid mod into your cart & paid for, along-with 20,000 other vapers, youuu might be a collection-vaper. If you've got at least two mechs, two regulated mods, two squonk-boxes, one ultra mini mod, one 2-3x battery, or 26650 mod, a set of ego batteries, a set of cig-alikes, and an e-pipe, youuu might be a collection-vaper. If you've ever spent over $100 on yourself in a December month, on vape-gear, and less-than $30 on your siblings, your mom, or your girlfriend/boyfriend, youuu might be a collection-vaper. If you've ever spent an hour or longer, simply looking through the picture-of-your-setup-part2 thread, looking through fasttech, looking on different American websites, for PVs/mods, RDAs/tanks, and PV/mod accessories, youuu might be a collection-vaper. If you think about buying the new mod you've had your eyes on, before getting new breaks for your vehicle, youuu might just be a collection-vaper... If you've ever gone any period of time vaping juice you dislike, in-order to save-up for a mod or tank that you want, youuu might be a collection-vaper... If you're reading this thinking "nuff text, show me a new MOD to buy!!!" youuu.....

Question, hopefully not opening pandora's box but for DIY juice what's a must have equipment wise? For now I'm sticking with two flavors & getting PG based 100mg nic & some VG.

I looked at some kits, but they seem a little over the top.
I bought different sizes of beakers and such and really don't use them. I have a small glass beaker, I think it is about 150 ml that I got at Wal-Mart that I use to mix my batches in. The most I make are 100 ml batches. I have a few 1 ml, 3 ml and 30 ml syringes that I use for measuring everything. I use the 150 ml beaker and after everything is added I put it in a small crockpot with hot water. I leave the batch at least overnight and use a milk frother to periodically mix the batch. I use the 30 ml syringe with an 18 ga blunt needle to transfer the batch to 50 ml bottles. Oh, one other thing I would recommend is a notebook to write down each batch so you can duplicate batches that are successful. I actually have a word document that I use to keep track of batches and notes to remind me what has worked and what didn't. Good luck and keep us posted on how you are doing.

Headin' down to da 'office' yesterday, pulled up behind a younglin' in a pic-um-up at a red light. He glanced back, saw me tootle-puffin' and proceeded to emulate on ol' steam locomotive. T'was amazing how much vapor he plumed!
When I have been out driving, I've noticed many other drivers vaping. I always wave and hold up my mod. 99% of the time I get a wave back.

Huh. I don't need a funnel to get the wine out.... :)
I know. I mean glug, glug. Who needs a funnel?
They still have a gallon of PG for $24 or something like that?
They do. :)

I was feeling like a hoarder. Collector is so much more sophisticated. :)
OK. Three more built. I'm not sure if I'm gonna make it through all ten. But, I'm going to do one more, at least. One at a time. Let's see how far I get.
Hang in there! I rewicked about 20 coils the other day. Not really a big deal until you see the shape my glasses are in. Rather proud of myself. You can do it! :thumb:

I am at work and just built two new coils for my Hannya RDA. This time I went with 35 diameter and 5 wraps with the coil master and clapton wire again.

Its at .35 ohm and 48 Watts. Cranked it up to 60 watts for fun but it got hot really quick with this single battery Sig 75.
