Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Three

[DingerCPA]

Think you mixed up posts, I only described one individual, albeit apparently reluctant, poo manufacturer. I'm a DIY dunce over two flavors.

FT - I got ya - I was trying to get a profile on the Catalan Cream, and then I saw something shiny and morphed into some recipes I think that would be a grand flavor to use in lieu of one of the other creams/vanillas...

I thought doing so many flavors would be confusing, but as long as I take my time and pay attention (yeah, right ) I've been able to make a lot of yummy flavors.

 

[FlamingoTutu]

You got me on how it can be different. But I can drink a 20 oz bottle of Dew and go right to sleep but one cup of coffee and no going to sleep for a couple of hours at least.
So there is some difference. Natural and synthetic caffeine?

The things you learn on here. Didn't even know about synthetic caffeine.

+ 1 It's about the taste for me - I don't want any. My bottled water is from Food Lion or Dollar General and it's not as good. Better than going thirsty though.

Yes, better than nothing.

Water causes rust. End of discussion.

That's the part that counts!

Oxygen causes rust.

Yup. They put that stuph in water.

Uh... I mean jup!

Yep never trust those atoms they make up everything.

Caffeine is caffeine. How big is that cup of coffee? Brewed coffee has over 4 times as much caffeine as Mountain Dew, so a 5 oz cup of coffee has more caffeine than a 20 oz Dew.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Umm you might want to google natural vs synthetic caffeine not quite the same.

Cotton is cotton right?

Here is a man who knows his caffine, but is flummoxed by a couple of strands of cotton.

Kidding Bells, just kidding.

No fair posting when I am. You got a link in mind? I did google it but it's like looking through ecig studies when you aren't aware of the pitfalls of believing everything you read.

There are various non-caffeine botanicals that occur alongside natural caffeine, depending on what plant the caffeine comes from. These cause the human body to react differently to natural caffeine than to synthetic caffeine, but the caffeine itself is the same in either case.

There are different varieties of cotton but there are not different varieties of caffeine. Natural caffeine and synthetic caffeine are identical and the chemical formula for either is C8H10N4O2.

Horchata (CAP) 11%
TFA Jamaican Rum 6%
TFA Bavarian Cream 5%
TFA French Vanilla Deluxe 5%
TFA Cinnamon 5% - the spice, not red hot or danish
Sweetener 3-4%

Flamingo Tutu posted this earlier and I just finished mixing up 25ml and have it steeping. I didn't have the French Vanilla Deluxe so I had to substitute with French Vanilla. Also had to substitute Cinnamon Swirl for Cinnamon. I'll see how it turns out. If nothing else I have a few more flavors to add to my shopping list. I will post the results tomorrow night. I have it steeping in a pyrex beaker filled with water sitting on a candle warmer. I really need to see if I can find that darn small crockpot my wife bought years ago.

Mt. Dew.

We gotta get you some Sun Drop.

Pure caffeine yes but as you said other things accompany the botanical caffeine like in coffee?

All that I am certain of is if I drink a cup of coffee after 6 pm I do not get to sleep till midnight. But I can drink dew from 6pm onward and go to bed anytime and sleep well.
And THAT I AM certain of.
Why now? I dunno.
Perhaps the FACT that natural caffeine give a longer high and synthetic is a rush then drop per the articles I googled. Different absorption rates?

Nicotine is nicotine but the absorption rate with vaped vs smoked is a lot different.

That is horrible stuff.

 

[Metal Storm]

That is horrible stuff.

Mt Dew is way too sweet. No bite to it.

You are probably one of those who like the bitter in Coke? And throat hit? I like smooth.
And yes coke is bitter to me, I have the bitter gene.

 

[DingerCPA]

@Diver9543 - lemme know what you think. I vaped a tank right away, and thought it was pretty good. I just loaded another tank over the weekend, and slurped through that - it did smooth out a bit, but I wish it had a tiny bit more cinnamon bite. I'd really liked my sample (which was 0mg nic - my final was about 9mg)

Well you've got more patience than me. I know what your talking about removing - seen it but I spend enough time rebuilding I ain't picking pieces out of my wicking material. Good for you, keeping the wife happy.

And ...

I just started 'talking' with you without saying Welcome to the Porch. Where's my manners.

Thanks Mike.
I've seen this thread forever but haven't taken a seat until today...back to the hemp.
I ran protanks for well over a year for both my wife and I and believe me I tried all wickings and IMO spending a few minutes deboning enough hemp for a dozen rewickings is a lot better than having to rewick a cotton build every couple-few days, my wife's cotton candy I make is good and gunky vs. over a week for the hemp. Just for the last 8 months I've been in the kayfuns with a wider range of builds to use than the protanks. My wife and I vaped to quit smoking and so far we have had nothing less than top shelf vape experience once I learned how to build. I got oodles of gear but my wife for 2 years now has vaped 1.8 ohm protank build on a pink provari, vaping what use to be JuiceMafia cotton candy that I now DIY my own cotton candy for her.
I've only DIY juice for a few months now and haven't touched any of my commercial juices. My Hangsen desert ship, highway and no5 is all I need along with a couple tobacco absolutes to mix in. It just amazes me how good a juice can be that you make.

Just can't do really sweet stuff even though SD is loaded with sugar, too. I like a little more sour taste and a little sting in my mouth, not a fan of TH with vapor though.

Mt Dew is like a Sun Drop that's gone flat.

Y'all have a good night. Got to try and catch up on some sleep so I don't feel like this again tomorrow.

I currently work in a retail environment that attracts some smelly customers.

You can use the ol' Vick's Vapor Rub under your nose. Worked wonders in the morgue when I had to observe autopsy's.

Alter, I also knew these porch threads were here for a long time. Occasionally would pop in and check it out, but just lurked. One day a few months ago I decided to post. OMG!!! What a FanFreakingTastic!!! group of people! I wish I had spoken up sooner.

Welcome!!! Make yourself to home!
