Is that the same as ethyl maltol? That is what I use when I need some sweetener. I do not use it often but their are some fruits I mix that I add a little too.
Exactly that's what it is. It's just premixed with pg.

Good stuff.....I have the powder and I mix it with pg.
That sounds delicious! I'm still wanting to vape a tobacco. The ones I've tried just taste terrible. Like cig terrible. I did find a commercial pipe juice I really liked but it smells like pipe, too. Mom couldn't handle it. I got it as a sample in an order & had to take it outside. I think I could vape it because it wasn't just a plain tobacco, it had other flavors mixed in.

My all day vape is a diy menthol tobacco. I use TFA Signature DK Tobacco @ 3% and TFA Signature Black Honey Tobacco @ 1% with about 1% of a menthol solution I mix up. It is very good without the menthol if that is not your thing. You get a very nice tobacco note on the inhale with a really nice lightly sweet honey on the exhale.

I also use this as a base flavor and add different types of tobacco flavoring whether it be a Inawera Turkish tobacco, Black n Mild or even a Caramel Tobacco depending upon my mood.

Its a very enjoyable vape that does not give you vapers tongue and is delicious and satisfying.

There is another workaround, which joins the glass to threaded metal at the ends, but apparently that doesn't work well.
Try dis,
SKU 1987602 - Replacement Tank + Chimney Kit for Kayfun / Orchid
$4.44 Replacement Tank + Chimney Kit for Kayfun / Orchid - quartz glass + stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Had to silicone the threads to da glass to keep it in. Works but the threaded portion covers half the fill hole, making it slow to fill.

Bought this for my daughter. iJust Start Plus 1600mah Full Starter Kit.
Really cheap and simple but she really likes it. Hope she uses it more than the Mini Protank2's that she has now.

Wow that is a kinda neat idea. Will have to check that out. Still waiting to see the SX Pure but it is kinda out of my price range not even sure if it has come out yet and you can only use it on an SX ML The newest SX which I'm not sure has come out yet and the IPV5. My days of buying high priced gear are over for a while. All my SX's are still working perfectly and some are a year old. I been hitting my Provari quite a bit. Had a real craving for a cig a few times so I made som Creme Brulee at 6mg added 3% Maxx Blend to it which tastes like Top to me and a few drops of 12mg Buttery Hazelnut. Tastes really good and no more craving for cigs. Using it in a Nautilus on my Provari.

Isn't it? That coil style just caught my eye and now I just really want to give it a try. The tank itself is kind of a genny style, but I think I'd like to try the coil in an RDA. I haven't seen the SX Pure yet, so I'll have to go look it up. I made up a mix for a guy here at work that was a Peanut Butter Custard with a touch of TFA RY4 Double... apparently that fixed his craving.

Thanks! I'll have to put one in my cart for my next order. Might even just pick up another plastic replacement tank if they still have them over there. I don't vape many tank-crackers anyway... I think I cracked this one because it's a coupla years old and just got abused a bit too much. ;)

After realizing, thanks to @misswish2's question, that I accidentally bought Butter Rum flavor made by Flavor West instead of by FlavourArt, I'm too paranoid to use it. FlavourArt publishes their test results and test methodology, but Flavor West does not. The DIY mix I made was very tasty, but it's butter flavors that tend to have diketones, and it turns out that FlavourArt doesn't even make any flavors with "butter" in the title, except for Butterscotch. Flavor West says their flavors are free of diacetyl but they don't say what the sensitivity is of the test method used, and they don't mention other diketones such as AP. I'm too much of freak about diketones to vape the remaining 95 ml of the 100 ml batch I made.

But that's not why I called you all here today. :thumb:
The main purpose of this post is to give a thumbs up to a mix I made this morning using FA flavorings only. It's the first time I've ever tried an apple flavoring and the FA Fuji Apple is very good! The minty taste is strong but I intended it to be that way.

I agree that TFA Black Honey Tobacco is a very good flavor. I haven't used it in a good while but it's the best tobacco flavor I've ever used. Menthol tobacco is all I used when I started vaping. I was fearful of trying anything that didn't resemble, at least in name, the Newport cigs that I'd been chain-smoking for decades.

If I used tank-crackers, I would go with a full metal tank. Check at the first hint of a dry hit, no problem.

Yep, I only use one or two flavors that are possible tank-crackers. Those go into the Silver Play with the steel tank sleeve or an RDA. ;)

Here's another view on Diacetyl. Qorax is pretty active around ECF.

has anyone tried or heard anything about these ??
I think it would be very stealth, if it's any good
Artery Vapor Nugget Box Mod | Vaping Mall
Suppose to be the smallest mod available :rolleyes:

Other than some admail, no. But at only 1000mAh built in, I'm not really interested. And I have 18650 box mods that are about the same except about 25 mm taller, so... ;)
