I use TFA brown sugar, I haven't tried making my own flavor for it. Hmmm. That's an idea. I should check the DIY threads and see if someone has done an extract.

I may have demonstrated my DIY ignorance. I was unaware that there was a flavor called brown sugar. Silly me, I assumed I would add brown sugar dissolved in pg or some other solution to create the sweetener.:facepalm:

Just received a phone call from David at MFS. He's gonna be making a lot of phone calls!! The web site was wrong, 200mg should not have been there (for wholesale customers only) and the price was wrong for 100mg
that really stinks. MFS is a really good company, and folks do make mistakes, but they really should have offered folks a little sumpthin extra if they just couldn't honor the price due to too many orders, free shipping, extra 10% off or something. That was 2 large errors thereby 2 large disappointments for each customer.

I have been lurking on this thread (aka. Cyber stalking) and wanted to say Thank You for the stuff I have learned!
There is a lot of great info here! You guys are SO friendly and helpful.:thumbs:
welcome to ya! Hope you stick around. We have no age restrictions here. Just a great group of folks! This porch we have to stick as much as we can to vaping topics or it will get moved to the lounge and folks won't find us. Though sometimes we're not very good at it. We also have a back porch where we can and do talk about most anything. Most of the same folks visit both porches.
Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Five

What is noalox? I have never heard of it.
Pm me your addy and I'll send you some if you want.

hmmm .... tried that (selecting a folder from the left side) still does show the code below each pic. I can get to the code by hovering over the top left corner of a picture, then from the drop down menu select 'share'.
I'm gonna move this over to the back porch hun.

Flavour is very good , much better than the Hannya RDA, and I am pleased with it so far.
Welcome back! that is really pretty!! Glad you like it.

In other news, once the lottery picks my numbers tonight I'll just buy my own personal juice manufacturer, and have the staff make it for me
that sounds like a grand idea! Ok, well a lot of grands, but you'll be able to afford it!! hehehe But ya gotta promise to teach us a couple of the secrets of the pros! lol

Started with 5% FA Peach (Juicy). Mixed with 50/50 vg/pg.
I vape FA Juicy peach at 5% and 50/50 all day and it tastes wonderful to me. Now my tastebuds have bounced back quite a bit. I am assuming you mean Flavor Art not The Flavor Apprentice. When I used TFA I had to run their juicy peach at nearly 20% for a good flavor but that was when I first quit smoking.

EDIT: I need to correct this, the underlined part is wrong. I vape CAPELLA JUICY PEACH at 5% and 50/50. My bad on that.

How would I add brown sugar? Should it be mixed with pg and added as you would a flavor or 1 or more drops to taste?

Do you have TFA Peach, Juicy? FA has peach and white peach. I know TFA has dropped the T on the logo, just to confuse us. FA is concentrated, uses less. Adding TFA Brown Sugar will add a baked taste, baked peaches are good!

Nice set-up! The owner of the Vape shop was out of the Big Buddha but said the Temple is a great cloud chaser also. He uses a Big Buddha clone, saves the authentics for customers, and placed 3rd in the last vape contest he entered. He did have a Twisted Messes and Big Buddha Mini in stock as well. The Temple just looked great sitting on the black Reuleaux and I had to have it.

The throat hit is starting to calm down or maybe I am just getting use to it; which ever it is, I am liking this monster a lot.

What % peach do you have in the 10 ml mix? If you aren't sure then you need to be making notes, so you'll know exactly what you did & you can do it again. You won't be able to duplicate a few drops here & 4 more there. Try adding brown sugar by drops for this mix only, but count your drops. I'd start with about 4 drops since you don't know for sure how much peach you have in it. You can measure the drops in a syringe to figure out the mls later. Try adding the brown sugar, shake it up & let it set overnite, then try it tomorrow. If you try it tomorrow & like it then there you are. If you think you need more brown sugar then just add a couple of drips at a time, & try it again.

I also found the FA peach to be not what I was expecting. Quite a few say the white peach is much better, but I didn't realize that til I'd bought the peach. I may try the capellas peach. Myrany (I think) was that regular capellas, or the capella drops?

That was 2 large errors thereby 2 large disappointments for each customer.

Ok, I'm going to repeat what I already said on another thread. Who, in all honesty, & knowing the usual prices of nic no matter who is selling it, would not look at that 30.00 + a 20% discount on top of it, for a liter of 100mg nic & not wonder if there was an error. I got it because I was waiting on their usual monthly diy sale & was going to buy regardless, & I wanted to get it before they ran out of nic, which could happen with all the frantic deeming shopping. I knew when I put it in my cart that chances were high that the price was too low & that my total would change. Especially when I chose the 200mg option the amount didn't double. When it went through without any notices popping up I was surprised. And I was not a bit surprised when people started posting that they were getting notified that there was a problem, although I was very surprised that they actually made personal calls to each customer. They could have just canceled all the orders & sent out a mass email d issued store credits, then sat back & waited for the customers to call or email them. Their website screwed up, I don't think they should have to give away a free liter of 100mg nic or offer an additional discount on top of the 20% already on the table to however many people (100? 1000? 2000?) try to shame them into it. Websites mess up, computers, mess up, & people are just plain messed up to try to take advantage of it.
Yes, the steroids are talking so I'm shutting me up now. [emoji41]

lol sorry you're having to deal with those hun. And I'm not knocking them, like I said, they're a good company, and we all realize folks make mistakes. I just mentioned that I thought some sort of small good will offering on their part woulda been nice. When I said that really stinks, I wasn't referring to the fact that they didn't do anything extra, was just referring to the part I quoted which said they didn't get it. I can see where it sounded differently than I meant it. Not saying MFS stinks, just stinks for all who ordered it that it was an error.

Up visiting the folks (they're doing better than I thought :thumbs:) but am on the over-sensitive laptop.

Flew in, all but ran for the bloody smoking area, no one else there. Filled the tank and started hyperventilating on it because some older bimbo passenger made a racist remark to my (American, war veteran) husband. A foreigner walked up and asked if I had I light. I told him "No, I'm sorry, I don't smoke." I tried to hold up my ecig but he'd already turned around. :( Another woman walked up and gave him a light. I really need to carry a lighter but you can't really on a plane.

Pretty soon another vaper showed up with a friend. He stood with his back to me. Pretty soon it was just two vapers standing out there. :D As we were leaving, I finally walked over to him and asked what he was using. He said he didn't know. :lol: He tried to read the writing on it but all he could read was Kanger. I said, "Kanger Subox Mini!" He said he thought so, but he really liked it. Told him that was all that mattered. Couldn't talk to him more because we had to run for the train, but it as pretty cool for a country girl that never sees a vaper at home. Still grinning.
I was going to try 10% but maybe I'll knock it back a few %'s. I'm looking forward to getting everything in, I won a Segelei 75 last week in a drawing so the vape mail is extra exciting right now.
Awesome win!
Hi porchers
Im in Esperance now - Well got here Monday afternoon.
Its about 730 kms from Perth, 456 miles.
Took about 8 hours to get here , made one stop to go to toilet, brother was most pleased we found a clean toilet block in a park. Then another stop to get some fuel.

Mum and her guy said to get more fuel when tank was half but a sign next town 150 away and knew I could make it so kept going.
Though then got there and the fuel i need for car there wasn't any - takes 95 or 98 fuel I use 98 its more fancy.
Fortunately there was another station that had 98 just a couple hundred yards down the road.

Roads were ok down here - only short stints where i thought the road were too narrow.
Only a couple of slow cars in front at times and couple of trucks needed to over take but for most the journey seem to be only car on the road.
speed limit here on the country roads/highways is 110km/h or about 69 mph

was setting the cruise control 110 -116 kmh most the time i was doing 114kmh.

Nice place here , its on the coast well the bottom of Australia.
famous for its beaches , I've seen one , well seen the water. Lots of other beaches but they are further along up and down the coast.

Town itself seems nice enough, no traffic lights here.
Population of around 14500.
Still adjusting a bit to the place but seems comfortable enough.
Glad you and your brother are having a good time, Wolf. :D I promise I won't tell Mum about the gas faux pas, you are a big boy. Get yourself down to the beach!

Bimbos happen, Tutu. I'm sorry you & your husband were subjected to that. Good for you for maintaing, tho, you are the better person!

Boy, you ran into a brand new baby vaper! He'll figure out quick that the "What are you vaping?" Question has multiple answers concerning what is in your hand at the moment. Mod, tank or rda, wire, build, ohms, wraps, cotton or rayon, juice, pg/vg ratio, & who makes it! Answers upon answers. "I don't know" is insufficient!

No, no reall sugar of any kind. Gunk city!

K, Thanks, glad I asked before doin' sumptin dum.:facepalm:

that really stinks. MFS is a really good company, and folks do make mistakes, but they really should have offered folks a little sumpthin extra if they just couldn't honor the price due to too many orders, free shipping, extra 10% off or something.

Nope, all mistakes must be punished! Off With Their Heads!:shock:

that sounds like a grand idea! Ok, well a lot of grands, but you'll be able to afford it!! hehehe But ya gotta promise to teach us a couple of the secrets of the pros! lol

But, but....I don't know No Secrets! So, I'm canceling the plan. Not winning the lottery has something to do with it, but I made up my mind.;)

I vape FA Juicy peach at 5% and 50/50 all day and it tastes wonderful to me. Now my tastebuds have bounced back quite a bit. I am assuming you mean Flavor Art not The Flavor Apprentice. When I used TFA I had to run their juicy peach at nearly 20% for a good flavor but that was when I first quit smoking.

EDIT: I need to correct this, the underlined part is wrong. I vape CAPELLA JUICY PEACH at 5% and 50/50. My bad on that.

FA = Flavor Art
TFA = The Flavor Apprentice aka Flavor Apprentice
Got it. Mine is TFA. So, if I understand correctly and my estimate of 7-8% flavoring. I should be Ok if I add more flavoring?

Welcome, motordude! Glad you landed here, grab a rocker!

Do you have TFA Peach, Juicy? FA has peach and white peach. I know TFA has dropped the T on the logo, just to confuse us. FA is concentrated, uses less. Adding TFA Brown Sugar will add a baked taste, baked peaches are good!

Yep TFA.

If you think you need more brown sugar then just add a couple of drips at a time, & try it again.

I agree with adding 'mystery drops' creates an unknown quantity, but assuming that 20 drops = 1ml then 2 drops = 0.1ml. All that being true I should be at 7-8%, so I may try a couple drops. I'll have to go searching for brown sugar flavoring so far I haven't noticed it but wasn't really looking for any sweeteners.

I also found the FA peach to be not what I was expecting. Quite a few say the white peach is much better, but I didn't realize that til I'd bought the peach. I may try the capellas peach. Myrany (I think) was that regular capellas, or the capella drops?

I may be verifying your findings but with TFA:(

Thanks to all you fine folks for you help.:)

That is a bad assumption. It depends on the dropper in the bottle, viscosity of the eliquid, even temperature of the liquid being dropped. Some of my bottles were nearly 60 drops to the ml when I measured them. Others were 35-40 but never had 20 drops / ml.

Thanks, I'm not sure where I saw that 20=1ml. May be my imagination running loose again. To this point I've used a 10ml syringe with a 1.6mm od blunt needle. No clue what all that means. I probably should start using the pipelets that came in my diy kit.
