On rare occasions. I switched to DIY for the most part and don't order juice very often any more. Usually just a bottle every couple of months as a treat and to find inspiration for new mixes.
That's where I'm getting back to also Kaz. Had gotten away from it for about a year. But glad I jumped back in

Yep, me too. I've been doing the DIY thing for a little over a year now. I don't have a lot of recipes, but I'm happy with the few that I have so far. Still working on one that is a Honeyed Pear that I call Aphrodite's Kiss. I'm getting really close on it... I think I'll be really happy with it very soon! :)

Will do. I posted the recipe as it was in work somewhere before, but I'm still trying to dial it in. I'll post it in here once I get it sorted. :)

I always get such good timing. My slotech order is still not here. Expected delivery? Monday. It's only bits and bobs of stuff, but that means it's expected the day AFTER VCC. And with my luck, it will get delivered on Saturday. :)
were those bits and bobs anything you wanted to take to VCC? If not, hope it arrives after you get back!

Yes! Woot! Yes, you do!

My splurge was 4 bottles of juice, none of which I'd tried. They came just now: Orange Glaze Sticky Roll (vaping. Not bad, FOOB.); The Knees of Bees (lemon cake, I think); Sovereign (no clue. Can't recall. Gosh, but I'm losin' it!); and Boston Cream Donut. No one would ever guess that I like ooey gooey sweet things!

ETA: Sovereign is blueberry coffee cake. I knew it had to be something sweet!
Sticky roll & bee knees sound good. As long as there's no cinnamon in it. There's a new post in DIY with a re ipe for Cake Pounder or Pounding Cake....a pound cake mix. Of course i'm lacking a few flavors for it. Gotta get an otder together!

Nice! You've been wanting one of those for a long time!!! I'd been wondering how your mom was doing, just keep forgetting to ask :facepalm:

We are going in the morning to get the stitches out. I'll have to hog tie her to keep her from breaking it open again. But the Hex Ohm will make it all better with the help of the Porches!

Awww sorry you are hurting. When your back hurts your whole body hurts.

On the high side because of the Woodville I can actually vape something better than an ego + CE5 today. Everything else is too heavy or the button press is too hard today.
There goes my Woodville button again! I know i'm going to get another one. I should get to saving. Dammit.

I am still trying to figure out WHY Temp control is supposed to be so much better than Wattage. Anyone care to clue me in on that one?
I haven't found it to be better. I have several TC mods and have "played" with TC with Ti builds, guess I am just comfortable and happy with my kanthal builds in power mode. Maybe I just haven't given TC enough time due to that...

That's how I felt about my eliquid! But it came today! Hopefully it comes Saturday morning before VCCT. :)
I'll be there too! :)

Legs I am probably going to need your expertise in the near future. A newbie I have been helping for the last few months mailed me an EVic VTC mini and a Smok TFV4 mini (I also have several subtank minis. She is determined I try temp control. She said she mailed several Ni premade coils for the subtank so I can dive in with them.

Problem is I am truly clueless on temp control and eventually will be wanting to build my own coils. So if you can manage to explain the theory behind this without getting too technical that would be much appreciated.
Well I haven't used NI200 in a long time. I prefer Ti but with the VTC mini, now I'm not sure on nickel, but with Ti I use a simple single coil 24 or 26 guage 6 wrap spaced and the mini along with other Jtech boards I have to run it between 480F 500F on a subtank mini. Ni is a lot lower resistance then Ti but if you decide to build your own coils the Temco Ti is excellent and easy to work with and to clean. I still haven't decided which I like better the 24 or 26. The 24 has a little smoother vape but it is a little harder to place with the STM. Have to back the screws out quite a ways and if you back it all the way out they are the pits to find if you drop them. The VTC I really like for a more inexpensive TC mod it works really good just have to turn it up more then with the SX. Nickel is a PITA to work with at least for me. If you decide to try Ti get 25' of 26awg from Temco about 5 bucks free shipping I think. I use a coilmaster and wrap a contact coil and stretch it but the Temco is the best I have used between Unkamen, Crazy Wire and Temco. Real soft for Ti. Different looking then any other also kind of a greyish white but smooth not rough like Unk.

I think the big diff is you will get the same exact vape everytime with Kanthal I find myself turning it up and down but I do that with TC with the temp lower in the AM higher in the afternoon then lower at night. You can't really blow clouds with TC like you can with Kanthal but I don't do that anyway. For me it is the flavor of the juice is so much better with Ti then with Kanthal.

Of course it is also the fact that I only use 3mg of nic. If you use 18mg it changes the flavor a lot and might taste just as good with Kanthal. I remember when I started I was using 36mg and supplementing it with cigarettes. Sheesh. I thought it tasted fine on my carto tank with a mech.

Patrick,

What a grand relief to hear from ya! How ya doin', my/our friend?
I'm so so. Been havin troubles with my legs fitting right since I took a spill. I had the prosthetist try to adjust my legs with the one I hurt still hurting which I never should have done now I am trying to get them back to being comfortable. Plus I am having a real hard time trying to decide whether to get my doc to let me try and taper off one of my pain meds, the strong one. Seems like everytime I try to back off I can hardly walk but I know I need to because it is really affecting my mental state after 8 years. I am sure it is a big part of my depression.
