Absolutely. Must have a good supply of vaper towels at all times.

LOL. Mine are disposable. Wad it up with wire fragments, old coil and wick, and cotton trimmings, and toss it.

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.

give it some time... I used to put up to 15% flavoring in my juice to taste it... now if the whole combined of 3 flavors is over 12%, it's too strong! single flavor - 5%

Never forget your towel.

Absolutely. Must have a good supply of vaper towels at all times.

um.... Towel - Hitchhikers

Anyone know where to get Babel fish flavoring?

 

[DavidOck]

Well, there are "gummi bear" flavors around, so maybe Swedish Fish would come close...

Never tried Babel fish, though, as I couldn't understand what the label said...

 

[Robert Cromwell]

You can understand the label if you put the fish in your ear.

Yes Im using paper serviettes. Go through a lot with the vaping when building and making juice and such.
I unfold them and tear them into four pieces as I find they seem to soak up liquid just as fast as they come , this way I get four bits to use for each one.

 

[Metal Storm]

Got the tensioned coil winding gizmo going. Still need some more practice with it but my coils are looking much better.



It's really making a difference. Made two coils like that and now I can get them both firing the same.

Oooh, I'm a wee bit behind here. Been wrastlin' some stuff this weekend, but I think the light is at the end of the tunnel

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}}}}}}} Take a deep breath, sweetie. It's a lot to absorb, but the fog will clear in its own time. (I'm in that "weird window of time" right now which is the three week span that is the anniversary of both my parents' deaths. Dad's anniversary was two weeks ago; Mom's is on Tuesday.) I still get very melancholy this time of year even though Mom passed 9 years ago and Dad 6. It has become less numb over time. I pray you find your peace

I have officially given up on twisted 32g wire. Does anybody want some untwisted on a 100 ft reel?

What don't you like about the twisted? I have some 30g that I twist, but there are a couple of toppers that just don't seem to make a good connection. I'm wondering if I'm not getting a tight-enough twist....

Getting a consistent enough build so I can run .9 duals in my Orchids. Putting both twisted ends in the post-holes without having one or the other hang up on the outside of the hole. The hassle of yet another time-consumer. Being unable to twist each batch of wire to the same degree. Being able to recoil start-to-finish in one operation quickly, rather than having a collection of coils set by

Welcome back. You have been AWOL from the thread lately.

 

[DingerCPA]

Thx 0mg... I have played with twisted and came to a similar conclusion.

Been a chaotic weekend. Almost looking forward to going to work tomorrow to get some rest

I use a full size paper towel - folded and cut into 16 pieces, each about 2x3"... works well for most vape drips and wipes, and can use more than one if needed... those, cotton swabs and pipe cleaners pretty much cover all the bases. A bottle of isopropyl for the caked on stuff.

You can understand the label if you put the fish in your ear.

Tried that, once, and my cat nearly took my ear off...

First off, a grand and warm welcome 2522 to da porches! Just ignore da demands fer porch fees, age ID and all da nasty rumors 'bout Iffy's whoopie cushions. Not one porcher has EVER produced a fully 'loaded' cushion as evidence traced back to moi <thankfully, they had to sit to post!>.

Nonetheless, da NSA/CIA/FBI/ATF/NCAA/NASCAR/etc. has classified & cleared your posts here as harmless to national security and now only trace your overseas calls. Whoa... wha...? OK, Mrs. 51 may have a lil' say-so beyond our approval capabilities. <sigh... sorry!>

Enjoy your stay fer as long as your here!

DIY can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. I like my simple watermelon. 20% Flavor Concentrates watermelon flavoring. .5% nicotine. some Stevia sweetner and the rest 50/50 PG/VG.

But as you see in the diy section many use complicated recipes. Then there is steeping. And sacrificing goats under a full moon, etc.

Holy mother of all beagles, 20% watermelon?! What brand? I used 10% TFA watermelon and to toss everything it came in contact with out; bottle, bridgeless atty, lungs. That stuff was horrible. I’m using 6% with the watermelon bubblegum and that’s plenty.

Well, I have been steeping, No Goats though. I just wonder how hard it would be to do like 6mg of 50-50 or 80-20 Unflavored Nic. I have absolutely NO clue even how to start, and don't know if the cost benefit over buying it already mixed from Mt. Baker Vapor would be worth my time to do it myself.

You are lucky you kept the goats out of it. Little does Robert know, the goats will be sacrificing him next full moon.

DIY is very easy, just do a little reading on safety and nic and you'll do fine. Not difficult at all

I got my nic at Wizard labs (expensive, I hear you can get a liter for this price.) I paid $56.99 for mine. But I'm stocking up on more when I get paid. It's freezable.

WL is a bit more but I've been loyal to them for many reasons. The other places mentioned all have good reputations also. You do get free shipping at WLs for a $65 purchase I believe.

nic with pg and/or VG won't freeze, they just keep betting in the freezer. Nic in PG seems to last longer than nic in VG. Let your nic reach room temperature before opening the bottle, will help keep condensation from the contents.

Let's just say that I had two devices develop hot legs recently, and had a frustrating time getting them recoiled. I also ordered this Universal Tools Coil Jig | Lightning Vapes After having had Orchids for nine months, and switching over to them exclusively, I have decided to start using them as duals. Yeah- a bit slow. Twisted just isn't reliable enough to get them identical. So- if you want that reel, just send me a PM.

I'm sorry you had problems with it. Thank you for the wire offer but I have plenty and maybe someone else would like to give it twirl.

First time someone asked me if I wanted a serviette I looked at her like like she just offered me a eunuch waiter.

You sir, have way too much time on your hands.

.

I use Flavor Concentrates no artificial ingredients flavoring. yep it takes more but it is so smooth and no perfumy/soapy taste.

Is is sooooo good.

I tried TFA watermelon, cantelope and Inawera Melon. Started around 3% and worked up all atttempts were horrible and I threw all of those flavorings out.
I think it was Inawera melon it might have been TFA Melon and Inawera Canterlope. In any case I considered them toxic.

I am assuming that a serviette is a dinner knapkin?

DH got dibs. Thanks for the response.

dumb DIY beginner question......what is the shelf life for vg? Don't want to buy a gallon of something and have it get rancid before I use it up...

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Not dumb at all you can always put it in the freezer or fridge to extend it's life. I have some 6 months old and so far no indications of going bad.
And it has just been sitting out, not in direct sunlight but back on a shelf.
