That sounds good! I haven't tried cherry anything yet. Not crazy about any of the fruiy juices I've tried so far, they are great to eat, I just can't vape them. Disappointing.

You can mix things around - Pie and danish recipes that have a fruit component also have other components.

eta: I've been wondering about coconut water. Never tried it but heard/read good things about it... anybody?

Have you considered coconut oil or butter or even better MCT oil? You would get the "good stuff" that way and be able to mix it however you wish. For eg. I use MCT oil in my first cup of coffee in the AM and it gives me a nice booster til mid afternoon... :2c:.. YMMV

In my experience cherry can be very overwhelming in juices. In DIY you have to be very careful not to overdo it.

Sent with no malice and not a whole lot of forethought from my new Galaxy Tab 4. Thanks Santa!

I thought about that - this one was a sweet cherry - If using cherry I would have added more sweetener.
With the other ingredients I was hoping it would balance - I had a vape of it and it was good , I've put it away for a while with the other ones I've made.

In daily life, I choose water. I mean water is much cheaper (unless you have a coconut grove in your yard, or a coconut faucet) and water generally always tastes good. Plus, water is pretty much the basis for hydration since, well, forever.

Danger Will Robinson! Water causes rust.

It's loaded with electrolytes. Nature's Gatorade. Either you like the taste or you don't, though, so it's worth trying a can. It's not rich and creamy like coconut milk.

Coconut water tastes bad ,,, You mean all those shipwrecked stranded people on islands drinking the coconut water and seemingly enjoying it have been lying ?

The poster above who compared it to rinsing out a coconut with dirty dishwater hit the nail on the head as far as I'm concerned. I don't find it that unpleasant, but the taste is weaker than we're used to in the states, and not as sweet as we're used to either. If you're expecting rich, creamy coconut flavor, like you'd use in a pina colada, this is not that.

vape mail just came. Purple Hana! Woot Woot!
You just set me off looking at FT looking for a box mod with replaceable battery. Daydreaming about when I get paid for this writing project. They have so many hana-type models, I don't know which one I would want.

Well I know I said I would check the insulator on this Kanger after the last tank but I find myself grabbing it all the time so I put one more flavor in, that's 5 tanks 5 flavors. I can't get over how good that little wick is holding up or how easy it is to change flavors. The more I use it the better I like it.

Yikes that looks sweet enough to gag a maggot. Almost too sweet for me. I am going to try the Dragons Blood today and the Tigers blood. Have to make a couple of substitutions on the Dragons blood don't have all the ingredients.

I see Vapor Tek already has the nano and the mini shipped from China. I'm just afraid the Mini wont have enough room in the RBA section for an NI200 build. I wonder if they are going to have the new insulator. The Nano doesn't have an RBA section so it is just a clearomizer.

PapaSloth - Hows your Orchid v6 eta going ? or goblin

The Orchid has been on the boat since 1/7, so it should be reaching the US shortly (I hope). Those sea turtles can be slow.

The group buy for Goblins was placed with YouDe on 1/12, so that one has no real ETA. It has to be shipped from YouDe, then reach the guy who's running the group buy in LA, then he has to ship it to me. So, let's just say if it hits me before the end of January, I'll be really surprised.

My wife has been back on the stinkies about 1/2 pack a day. She wants to stop but says the vape isn't enough which is understandable because I make her juice that she likes at 3mg. I told her why not try a higher nic level for a while. Just trying to decide how strong to make it I was thinking 16mg or 18mg what do you guys think?

I would say 12, with the option to bump it up later. With 100 mg/ml, you can do that without diluting flavor. If she still can't kick it at 24, get some NET.

From the couple of vapes i had before letting it sit for a few days it was not too sweet.
Think the "sweet" cherry just takes away from the usual cherry flavour which can be a tad sour/tart.
Many people I think confuse actual cherry with glace cherries.
The rum , cake batter and toasted almonds also took it away from being too sweet.
After a few days I'll see how it is.

Since reports are showing nic is "likely" addictive, but no more than caffeine or sugar.... why try to eliminate it in the first place. Cigarettes are carcinogens. Nic is NOT!! So why suffer? I started at 26. Down to 18. Tried 12 and ok with that but 18 is more satisfying. So IMO... there is no reason to go lower than you like the flavor at.
