Older Folks and Vaping

[Muldemar]

That's great Mul. Funny, but nobody has mentioned the machine in the background as being essential equipment. (I think that's a terrible oversight)

Strategically placed..Need coffee when mixing

Ahh - it's refreshing to see someone still uses a vintage recording system for their recipes - paper & pencil instead of ipad or laptop.

Pencil??? What's that?

Wonder if ProVapes will come out with a VW device??? Looks like that is "the next big thing"....but I'm not feeling confident in the chinese products at this point. I would definitely jump on a VW ProVari though...

I'm about to turn 60, so I guess I qualify for the "old Farts Club"! I smoked for 40+ years and recently quit. I've tried all the different methods, and vaping has been the only successful method. I wish the entire smoking world would make the switch!

Well hi and welcome

Hmmm? Would a Kick fit in a Provari?

I think I saw someone say no...but wouldn't swear to it. I gotta think ProVapes must be working on something new other than pink and purple.

Had to come in here to say hi to the old folks since I'm a young 60. Hope all is well.

Hi klynnn, glad you dropped by, pull up a chair and make yourself at home.

 

[klynnn]

Just might have to stick around a bit and see what you'all are up to. Thanks for the welcome.

Hello klynn welcome to our group. I see you have been vaping since March. What type of setup do you use?

 

[WallyO]

I got my DIY supplies in..I have enough,until the world ends in Dec..or the Zombie Apocalypse..Which ever comes first

I see what keeps you busy during the long Minnesota winters. Good you have the Keurig nearby.

I wish we could get the word out to all of them somehow! Welcome to our little corner of the universe!

Mike and/or Janet, a question for ya's. I remember Mike specifically talking about Radiator Pluid, but since you "guys" share everything else, I thought you might share joose at times? LOL. Or perhaps only certain ones? Anyhow, I was hoping for BOTH of your valued feedback on this one, cuz I know it ain't gonna be easy. Speaking from a DIY standpoint now, could you try your best to break down RP into it's component flavors like if your were going to try to come up with something yourself in DIY that would closely approximate it? I certainly don't expect you to duplicate it, just a ballpark guesstimation. Since I sure don't have that kind of money to spend on joose (and if I did it would go to WTA,) I wouldn't be buying it anyway, so I'll never really know how close you are or aren't, you don't have to be all that close, see? I'm not dumping it all in your lap, I've read a lot of other posts, reviews and such. So far I've got this: The main flavor seems to be either, black licorice, anise, or absinthe. Ironically, a flavor most people claim they usually do not like! The secondary flavor is arguably: citrus, or fruit, and subsequently we have: mint. spearmint, menthol, in addition to about anything you can imagine. So I get that the flavor is rather complicated, on the sweet side, has a sort of black licorice type flavor that most people normally don't like but in combination with the other ingredients in there, they do like...what else can you nail down for me????I would very much appreciate any feedback from either or both of you! TIA!!!

Mike says he thinks the guy who makes it says there's no licorice in it so I'd guess it's mostly anise - A LOT OF IT! And it's VERY green - like it would probably glow in the dark! I'd guess there might be some citrus in it, but since I'm not familiar yet with the flavorings I'm not sure what to tell you to try - maybe a little orange? I tried making orange dreamcicle last night and didn't get it. Maybe I'll start over tonight. Today our son is coming over to sort through attic stuff so we're going to be busy today. RP is so different though, I'm sure somebody is going to try to duplicate it so we'll just have to keep looking to see if somebody figures it out. I love black licorice, but can only vape a very little bit of RP. It is uber intense.

CharlieGirl - I'll go ya one better. PM me your mailing addy and I'll send you a sample. Then you can dissect it w/ your taste buds and try to come up w/ a DIY version if you like it. I enjoy it occasionally, but I'm not one of those that makes it an all day vape. I agree w/ others that don't particularly like licorice or anise but like the Pluid. I don't think I could add more to the description than you've already picked up reading about it. A key ingredient must be food coloring just to make it green. Murdock sells a 'cutter' version (no nic) and it's not green.

... It is uber intense ...

And that's an understatement. IMHO. It really is for 'extreme' vapers'.
