Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Three

[Kenna]

Kenna, thank I will try that. Or, what about one drop when I fill my Kanger Evod?

You can try it. Then you still have your other juice. Put the drop in first, then top off with juice. Shake the tank really well. Vg very thick, sit it takes a lot of shaking to get it mixed in when adding it. Once it's mixed in it doesn't take nearly as much shaking.

Kanger evod2 with low vapor. Think gunked coil. Center of Evod gets very warm when fired, so battery should be ok. Thanks

The sweeter & dark juices gunk coils pretty fast. If it's getting hot but you aren't chain vaping it's time for a new coil. You'll notice the heat, a drop in flavor, & vapor production with the coil is gunked.

I'm going to fall right here into this thread without going back and reading the thousands of posts. I've been vaping since February this year after having been a PD smoker for 33 years. Vaping helped me quit the analogs, started vaping and never looked back.

Inca, welcome to the porch and congratulations on switching to vaping! Several years in and I still can't believe I was able to finally quit using an ecig.

Some of the 50s had a problem of autofiring because of a faulty part. I didn't have one, someone else can fill you in, but it sounds like your problem was different and you've nailed it down. Bravo!

Vaping about 7 weeks now. The only time I cough is when I try to inhale the higher nic juice. I don't care for straight lung hits. Never smoked that way and didn't know about that until I started vaping.

Yeah, I had the coughing thing for a while also. Since it's summer, try a couple of spoonfuls of ice cream to coat the throat a little. Eventually got used to vaping and the problem went away (body adapted) but it can be a bugger for some of us for a while.

Yum, candy corn.

Found out from www.tasteyourjuice.com/wordpress/ that FlavourArt has done testing for AP and diacetyl on all of their flavors.

This is gonna make me go back to FlavourArt for the time being, or at least until TFA does the same testing. Here's where you can read the test results:

I thought TFA did test their flavors and put up the results on their site. What happened?

Edit - fixed juice, had meant flavors.

I read in a group on Facebook that Capella has/is testing and reformulating to remove DA/AP. Jist came out with several new flavors too

I have cap yogurt smooth and greek and double watermelon on the way

I'm glad these guys, juice and flavor manufacturers, are feeling the heat.

Yogurt have calcium in it? Those sound good.

I have no idea what is in it. Should get them tomorrow.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

And yeah feeling the heat here too. I am ordering several 4 oz bottles of cap v1 flavorings.

I just don't see and never have seen where TFA has done that. They have MSDS data sheets, which is not the same as testing and would not include diacetyl and AP amounts that are too small to be considered significant for ingestion, but which could be far too much for vaping.

I saw a link for "test results" on the TFA site but it leads nowhere as far as I can tell, and no actual test results seem to be available.

As Dr Farsalinos pointed out last year, many flavorings which claimed to have no diacetyl or AP actually did contain them, in amounts which would make it safer to be working in a popcorn factory adding artificial butter flavor.

Yeah I think it should be pointed out to any newbies. Not a good idea to head to the local grocery store for flavors to vape. Just cuz it's deemed safe to eat does NOT mean it's safe to inhale.

Welcome Inka, sit back, relax and Vape on!

Uhmmmm....seems I read some warning over in the DIY forum about the yogurt flavors.....it looks as if , basically, anything that has a lot of butter, dairy component to it has some of the bad stuff, so.....that appears to be why some of the flavoring companies are working on reformulating some flavors

 

[Isabelle49]

Visited a new B&M shop. Tasted lots of flavors. Decided on vanilla, and the guys the shop added extra sweetener for me. It's simple, I like it. I did get the 18 mg, the pg/vg is 65/35. Very smooth, no cough when inhaled. This is the first shop out of four I've visited that has offered to make a juice sweeter for me and they offered to mix flavors if I wanted that too. Good customer service is a rarity.

Hi, Inka, and welcome! Congrats on starting your vape journey. Grab a rocker and settle right in.

Oh that's excellent! Glad you found a real vape shop to help you!

I posted something ai found on Facebook about FA's yogurt being a food flavoring, not a vape flavoring. But they do have their line of vape flavors with test results. Sorry on my phone or would liok for and post links

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Officially no flavorings are for vaping. At least capella, tfa,etc.
