Yeah, I went back for my GrandFathers Funeral with my parents, then up to Cleveland to visit some family, Dirty place and all run down, I'm talkin back in the mid 60's here. I was only a teen then. Young and dumb teenager.

To keep on topic for the forum, I can honestly say that I didn't see not 1 Vaper when I was there.

Thats Wizard Labs your referring to ?
Yes, WL specifically but the others should also give you a choice of bases.

You said you had syringes but are they Luer locks? On this WL page Syringes, Needles, and Pipettes you’ll find both the syringes and blunt tip needles. You will want to get at least one of the 14g needles for the VG, the stuff’s like molasses. In the winter I put the VG on the heater vent to warm it up a bit before using it. I also pour it in the top of the syringe and then put the plunger in to dispense into the mix. You can get the blunt tips at other places also.

Another “pro tip,” either put a strip of transparent tape over the syringe numbers or better yet, IMHO, cover them, with clear nail polish so the numbers don’t wear off. Well over a year later, I’m still using the same three syringes I began with; 1ml, 3ml, 30ml. The 1ml is for flavors, 3ml also for flavors and/or nic and the 30ml for the PG and VG. I use the 30ml to first suck up and dispense the PG, then use it to pour in the VG and dispense it. I make 60-120ml batches though.

Well, y'all, I ordered me some nicotine in PG and some VG. All I have to do is get me some flavors! Lord a mercy!! Look out world!!
Woohooo! you go get 'em girl, you can do it!
wahooooooo! Watch out world!!
I so feel like that when I'm mixing. vaping too when I screw up the mix.

Never !! Well almost, some places FORCE me to go the Coke rout, they say "We only have Coke products". No, No, No.

I am still a tad ticked off they are changing the formulation of Diet Pepsi. I am hoping it is not the "NEW COKE" fiasco all over again.

I am another one that was doing TFA flavors at 20% for about the first year. Now it is rare I go over 6% LOL.

We have multitudes of family descending for the funeral on Wed so it is going to be nuts around here for about a week. If my being around is scarce that is why. Gonna have a housefull.

My Condolences (I think I spelled it right). Yeah, They don't need to fiddle with it, just some collage kid with a bright Idea, prolly the same one that Coke fired.

Yes, they are all Luer Locks, from 12g up to 20g and all are blunt. I use the 18g just to drain my Lemo. "Another “pro tip,” either put a strip of transparent tape over the syringe numbers or better yet, IMHO, cover them, with clear nail polish so the numbers don’t wear off". I like that one. I never thought about that aspect. Thank You.

wow - 4 pages in 4 hours... overnight group really went to town!

I found
100mg Nicotine Solution - 250ml
$29.99 Over at Wizard Labs, is that enough to start with ? If I then buy some PG/VG to do my mix ? Just wonder'in. Say a Liter of each just to start ?
like other people, I recommend starting at a lower nic to begin with... 100 nic needs more care. Starting out, I was on 48, but you can safely go up to 60.

That Wizard Labs 100mg nic says that it's cut with PG and or VG. That has me confused a bit, which is it already, they don't say, or does it even matter ?
it does matter.. when you actually order, you specify which you want. They make it when you order it.

I'll be glad when I get over this Vapers Fatigue, my Pepsi taste like mouth wash.

PS: 10 days I have read for the taste buds to renew them selves and I get my taste back.
have you tried eating a dill pickle? one of the best ways out of vaper's tongue that I ever found.

I know that when I was in the hospital Jan. 12 this year for my H.A. I went like 5 days WITHOUT ANY vape'in (their kind of funny about that, Mayo is) and didn't even have one urge to do it. Weird !! It had only been since Aug. 28, 2014 since I had had my last Cig after 52 years of tobacco. Surprized Me alright, and my whole family. Go figure. Night Metal.
Just noticed where you live. I doctor with Mayo system, and my GP and audiologist both are supportive of vaping. In the hospital, though, would be different.

I tired unflavored yesterday as part of my strategy against a sinus headache, and I like it.

Well guys life has been crazy. Lots of driving and little sleep. I see they have totally changed the forums while I was gone. This is going to take some getting used to.

Tonight my father in laws struggle with the cancer came to a sad end. I am in that numb state when things go horribly wrong so quickly there is no time to think or react. I am sure that will change in time. So far I am managing. Back on the high nic stuff but no real desire to smoke.

I did want to thank all of you for your support during this nightmare for me and my family. I think I would have lost my mind in the early days without you guys.

Myrany - sorry to hear this news. Best wishes and prayers to you and the family.

Do Ya'll Really taste your juice good ? I Haven't from day 1. I'm thinkin that all my taste buds are damn near dead due to my 52 years of tobacco use. I read about people talk'in about notes of this flavor and notes of that flavor, but I don't get ANY of that, just if it taste good or not. I mean Vanilla taste Kind of like Vanilla but thats it, the tobacco's also. Guess it's just me.

Welcome to the porch 52. Don't despair ... It took me almost a year 'off the smokes' before I could start tasting juice. I was just like you - juice had 2 flavors - good and not good.

Got my Deoxit gold and red solutions for the Woodvil today.

So what does this 'stuff' do for you. And why two different kinds?

Just got off the phone with a guy at Essential Depot who was doing a survey. They are setting up a mailing list for vaping customers special discounts. First, they say they can't guarantee the products of VG and PG beyond the two years on the expiration date, but putting it in the freezer will certainly extend the life of it. If it's not grossly discolored, shows no signs of mold, and doesn't develop an off smell, it should be good to vape for years.

He gave me some codes that I'm posting. I don't know if they are subscriber specific, but here they are if you need them:

Below are the promo codes along with exactly what they do.

FYI10 (10% off the product price)
SHIP20 (20% off the shipping price)

You may select either of these codes to use with your order. Also, the promo codes change from time to time. These codes are valid at least until July 1st so this is a great time to stock up.

Meant to enhance condition and protect all electronic connections and equipment.
People use it on the connections on their mods.
Mostly the gold one , the one I got just happened to come in a solution kit that had the gold and red.
Red is said to get rid off any corrosion , which many people do with an eraser or some rubbing alcohol.
