Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Three

[FlamingoTutu]

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?

I'm really liking the TFA watermelon candy with the bubblegum but not sure I'd have the courage to try plain watermelon again, lol.

Yes, napkin. It was one of those lovely moments when you realize your staring at someone with your mouth gaping open. She then looked down her nose at me and said, "NAP-kin." Stupid Americans.

DH got dibs. Thanks for the response.

Cool, and you are most welcome.

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...

I'd like to know also. I can only be sure that WL's VG is safe (allergy or sensitivity wise)and plan to order a gallon from them. My thought is to put the bulk of it in the freezer. Since I use an 80/20 mix, there should be enough for several generations of vapers.

Watermelon is my main ADV right now. I tend to go from it to Blueberry which is also a Flavor Concentrates concoction.
I do make em both sweet. I did try adding a bit of TFA Banana Ripe to my FC Banana and it did improve it.

... a eunuch waiter.

Broiled, poached, fried or petrified (note: did not say fossilized)?

I'm trying to go at this as economically (cheap) as possible.....All I can find when I google the question is answers to unopened, sealed bottles. It costs less, usually to buy a gallon, but if it's not going to keep well after opened would amount to a loss rather than a savings.

Sigh.....small freezer on my wish list for future purchase

I get quarts from Amazon, usually, and a quart of VG lasts me about 10 or 11 months.. Sitting in the pantry. I think that if you put it in the refrigerator, it should stay good for a couple of years.
Once you mix it with something else.... Depends.

Get a litre of pg and of VG should last you quite a while and not go bad before use. Lots cheaper than buying made juice. LOTS.

I use blackberry all day and the watermelon at night because it's mixed at a lower nic. I really should reverse the nics on those. Somebody was talking about a cherry mix recently that sounded good and am going to try that on the next WL order.

You again? Up into the 90s for the first time today so pretty well broiled.

Yours truly,

On my list too! To be honest, I never had VG go bad and never thought to even put it in the refrigerator. I have heard of it going bad though. It'd probably do fine in the fridge if it was well bottled, meaning transferred from the plastic bottle into smaller, amber or blue bottles.

But they are not pink unless they eat the pink shrimp.

But if they vape that horrible purple ejuice do they turn purple?

FC has blackberry flavoring as well. I have not tried it as I am not fond of blackberry. Black raspberry now!

 

[Robert Cromwell]

I ordered some Black Raspberry flavoring a while back but before I got to try it my oldest Grand Daughter saw it and stole it to bake something with which I never even got to taste....

They eat a brine shrimp, which is why that mutt's recent comment went over my head, again.

No, they do not turn purple.

I think your daughter owes you big time.

 

[Iffy]

Just keep da PG & VG in an interior cupboard or closet. It ain't goin' bad any time soon!

 

[Metal Storm]

Well past four months now, I feel like I could make it fine without vaping. But I keep vaping just because I like it. And I just don't smoke anymore so there's really nothing to go back to.

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Nite all.

 

[52anddone]

Wow Ya'll been busy in my absence. Oops, I forgot, U guys use MORE than 2 fingers.

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.

I bought some from a store over here beginning of the year and the bottle has a best before date stamped on it of Dec 2018

 

[52anddone]

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 ?

Some people like nic from this store and don't like nic from another store.
I use the nic from my freedom smokes , $50 a litre 100mg and sometimes $40.
Been using it a while now and have had no issues.
I make juices 4 - 6 mg and it tastes like the flavours I put in it.
If your doing unflavoured or a higher nic level then I'm not sure how it would taste or how nic from any store would taste.
I do find when I try some store bought juices that are a higher nic level they do seem to have the peppery taste to them. Though i don't know where their nic for their juices come from.
You'd be ok if you want to try them out at 250ml first then if its good for you seeing if they have a 1lt at better value.

ETA - doesn't look like they have a 1 lt and well their 250ml and 500ml do seem a tad high.
Theres many places out there though.

Yeah, now that you mention it, My Mt. Baker unflavored 80-20 6mg nic does taste peppery. Yeah I do want to start off with a small batch for my first go round, just to make sure I don't screw things up. I DL'd that app for mixing from ejuice me up, and will play around with it b4 I buy any liquid at all.

PS: I was getting some sort of flavor but couldn't place it , until you mentioned the Peppery flavor, and that exactly what it is. Thanks for that.

 

[52anddone]

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 ?

 

[Debadoo]

Yiddle found this for folks looking for a lot of pg/vg, and Dave said shipping to NC was about 24.00 for all 4 gallons, so still a really great deal.
