Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Three

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.

OK thanks that is what I am going to do. She agrees so thats good. thats what I will use too. I am trying to use up the 6mg stuff that the lovely Janet sent me when I first decided to try the DIY and thanks to her thats all I use now. Thank You Janet you are a wonderful person and by the way so is Mike I have gotten so much good info from him it makes things a lot better so I don't end up screwing up before I start. Tell him that twisted 32AWG NI200 is really the ticket to be able to work with this wire. Makes things very easier. Not good grammar because it is still not easy but will be once I get my VS. Should be next week. I didn't order till the day after Christmas and they are just about to that point now on their backorders. If I really like it like I think I will I am going to get another. I would really like to have a Vapor Flask but just can't get to the point of paying 300 bones for it. They have them in at vaperev or they did. Don't know how fast they will go. I'd like to have another V4 but I want an original. I have been using mine since the day I got it on a daily basis and have not had problem 1 (Knock on Wood) knocking on my head now. The clones seem like a lot of work and it seems to be hit and miss if you get a good one, even in the same brands.

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

It's the fruit component that gets me. I can vape pie crust for example, but not apple pie. And I seem to be able to taste the least bit of cinnamon, so anything with cinnamon in it gets overwhelmed by the cinnamon. I do love custards & bakery, but try to stay away from the fruity or cinnamon ones.

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?

If she's smoking a half pack a day I'd go with at least 16mg to satisfy the craving. If you take her nic too low she'll never put them away. Then if you lower her nic just do it in very small increments over a very long period of time. She's got to go high enough nic to be able to not even want an analog, she'll be just as happy with the vape & so reach for that because it tastesd better. Then after a few months of no analogs at all you can start to lower the nic. Get her completely off the smokes first.

I got my Flask at VapinArt because Vaperev was out of stock. Vaperev has them in stock for most colors at the moment. I still use my P3 but not nearly as much as the Flask. It seems like they have worked all the bugs out between the flask and DNA 40!
I also picked up a Tobeco K4 clone and it seems to be working just fine. It did need more cleaning than the original but is very close for the price. Worst case, I pick up a rebuild kit from Vaperev and replace the o rings,center pin and spring for $15 and have a $40 K4. I got it from 101 vapes for $25 but a friend of mine got one off eBay for $20 shipped and she is loving it! Another friend got one at 101 and hers is working great too. There both ready to order another! I usually get an original first and then if I like it try a clone to compare. That way I know if there any good or not!

She only likes one flavor so far and she has been vaping over a year. She likes FA 7 Leaves at 1.5% I make all my juices 50/50 she doesn't like it too hot either uses a Nautilus 1.8 head at 3.5v on of course a Provari.

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.

Correct assessment, after all it's water. Just the raw water inside a coconut. We had several coconut palms in the yard when I was growing up a split many a coconut. You need a really sharp machete.

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

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.

I agree. Whatever level makes you happy is good. Damn sure better than smoking.

If there is a moderator around I have a question, is there like a "Tap-a-talk" plug in or some for the forum software that is used to support Tap-a-talk users? Just wondering. Anybody know what forum I can go to to get an answer to a question like that?

Around the last major ECF update - there was talk by the admin, just how bad Tap-a-talk and ECF worked together. You might just be 'stuck' with the way it is.

Well vapinart had the Flask in Black, VapeRev has white, gunmetal, and the 5 pawns special addition. VapeRev must have restocked again recently. Just the other day I looked and they were OOS on all of them.

Let me guess, the 5 pawns special edition costs 6 times as much as the gunmetal version

 

[MikeE3]

No - I think it was only 'bout $30 bucks more.

hmmm? Janet's thinking about re-doing the kitchen, I wonder if I can bury the cost of a flask into the budget.

edit: opps done it again - she reads this thread too. Need a plan B.

 

[mekc57]

No, $25 more but it's OOS now.

Nah just $25 more to advertise for them. Hey Mike did you see my post about the Russian 91% by Kebo $70 at Vapor Shark.

I did that's a decent price but still ~$20 more than I paid for mine. That and I have 4 regular R91's and 1 V2 with the re-desgined bottom end for better airflow and side filling. So it for once, it was easy to not be tempted. Anymore RTA's for me and I should really branch out to something different - just because. I do like the R91's - more airy than a KFL and it simplifies coiling/wicking when all my RTAs are the same.

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... .. YMMV

MCT oil is a scam. It is nothing but coconut oil and palm kernel combined, with the price multiplied about 10 times what it would cost to buy the same oil without the MCT label. I have done the research and I know what I'm talking about. MCT oil = plain old coconut oil (or plain old coconut oil + plain old palm kernel oil) = snake oil.

But hey, if you think it makes you feel better then it does make you feel better. Me, I've got enough fats and oils in my diet without adding more to my coffee.

When you pay the exorbitantly marked up price for the MCT labeling, you're paying only for hype. It's coconut oil, available at your neighborhood grocery for a much lower price.

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

I usually try the cherry of any shop I go in... All Access Vapor, who will be at VCC this year, is the best I found so far.

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 mix up som 24 and some 18. If both of those are too strong, you can halve the 24 to 12, then the 18 to 9.
This would be the best option to check what she needs to overcome the trash chemicals added to tobacco that makes is so addictive.

I've been vaping on the lovely Hana (did I mention that she's purple? ) all afternoon. Love. But perhaps not as much as the P3. Vaping the same juice at the same wattage, but it doesn't taste the same. Why might that be?

ETA: yes, I'm using the same build.

Got the same result with my SVD. No matter what mod I put a tank on there is no comparison with flavor. Even the SVD2. Adjusting power doesn't do a thing either. No clue why but nothing tops the flavor so the SVD remains my fav mod.

Absolutely adorable ... even if he's not a Chihuahua!

Debadoo: Our two chi's heard that! Cooper chi says, "Take it back, Auntie Deb!"

Vape mail just came. Purple Hana! Woot Woot! (Had to mention so I wouldn't get reprimanded for being OT )

Ok, Ok, I take it back......now give em both a cookiej from Auntie Deb! Just as long as they don't start yappin! lol (or shakin)

I use it for exactly that reason! I grew up with it, it.s a very comforting fragrance.

Jup, very comforting, I could just imagine having the aroma to vape. Probably doesn't smell like that, but would be amazing if it did.

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

I've not had it straight out of a coconut, but my nephew buys it in cans sometimes, dunno if they add stuff to make it taste better or not, but it's not bad. I drink distilled water, cuz I can't stand the taste of most tap water. After a hurricane we had to drink distilled water, and it was awful, but I got used to it, and now all tap water tastes bad to me. With distilled, I can drink it and stay hydrated.

I would say mix up som 24 and some 18. If both of those are too strong, you can halve the 24 to 12, then the 18 to 9.
This would be the best option to check what she needs to overcome the trash chemicals added to tobacco that makes is so addictive.

Very good idea!!!
