Older Folks and Vaping

[Kat56]

Not usually Kat. But I do usually thin the VG with distilled water or cheap vodka. Unfortunately, I'm out of both at the moment.

One day I may get adventurous and try a 30/70 PG/VG and a 70/30 of the same recipe just to see how much the high VG affects the flavor. Curious minds want to know...right?

EXACTLY hehe

Wow...$9 or $10 a pack. I wonder if that price at least keeps young people from starting smoking? I certainly hope so.

This is just my opinion:

Smoking is a "social" activity.

High prices force young people to band together to buy smokes. Two bucks each is easier to come up with and you instantly have friends.

The Net Result is that the Government has coerced (indirectly, perhaps even unwittingly) more young people to join the smokers.

Canada is also the country where a no-nic disposables costs $10 plus tax (up to 15%).

No matter what plan the Government comes up with there are always unintended consequences. We are to believe that they are looking out for our Best Interests. Sometimes I become disillusioned. Forgive me.

Has anyone here tried the Version 2 T2 heads with 5 wicks? If so, how do they compare to the ones with 3 wicks?

I just found out they exist yesterday. I've fallen behind I guess...

@Kat
I haven't tried the T2 since 1 or 2 of them dumped their contents. I just moved on to the T3 and didn't try them again. I guess I should try to figure out why they leaked like that since I still have some of the extra coils for them. My attention span just isn't what it used to be. So I tend to flit from one thing to another. Heh!

...I'm vaping on IffyBerry/Janet's Heaven and must say this is a winner for me. After using so many coffee and dessert vapes, this fruity combination is really refreshing! I mixed it up at 70% VG so its putting out plumes of vapor.

Sometimes I become disillusioned. Forgive me.

Sometimes I become hopeful (governmentally speakin')... but not 'recently'! Forgive you? No, eff them!

... nose

... to another. Heh!

OK, now I get it... that's not your nose!

Ditto!! Ditto!! Ditto!!

Old Curmudgeon, that's why I ordered just '1' T3....might love em, might hate them LOL You know you said you smoked 1 PAD Ultra lights and needed 36 meg. My neighbor, smoked 2 PAD Ultra lights and it took her forever to get below 24 meg. I'd have to ask her but I think she's maybe down to 18 meg now. I never smoked those, but I did smoke lights for a long time (Misty lights 120's) then cost got me and I switched to PallMall Menthol.....took me forever to get used to the PallMall's and the shorter length. For awhile there I had to supplement them with 2meg nicotine gum and the PallMall were supposed to be stronger.....go figure.

Gloria,
I have those hard plastic buttons on all my batteries :/ I guess I needed something to wear a callus on my left index finger to replace the one I had on my thumb from using lighters? Soft rubber would be nice

I have bought 100% all natural VG e-juice and vaped it w/o diluting it. Not all carts are happy campers with that. As far as flavor, hmmm, the all natural seems to be more intense..I finally mixed it as a flavor shot to 80PG/20VG mixes.

 

[Constance Shutts]

moishesmom,
Will check out the DIY section and look for the "Vinegar". Need to see if anyone there has a recipe for Kona anything there. I love kona coffee, but cannot afford close to $20 for 30ML of it. TPA has the kona....now for a good ratio...

Since you're on the subject of DIY, is there a starter kit set up? I'm interested to give it a try.
I figure since I'm diving in with an RBA I might as well try some DIY.

 

[Constance Shutts]

Mt Vapor Baker has the unflavored nicotine premixes in whatever ratio of PG/VG etc already mixed to your nicotine level, so all you need to do is add flavorings to it. TPA has lots of flavors Perfumer's Apprentice and the DIY section here might have something on "kits"...

My minimal equipment list is POST #6.

I'll get back with you later today with my joose supply links. Gotta hit da rack...

Constance, I have a DIY Kona coffee extract and the Kona Cream flavor from Nature's Flavors that I would be happy to share with you. Just PM me your address.

After a bad batch of a Kona coffee juice from a vendor, I sort of lost interest in that flavor.

Well I got the old rubber button out of my dead KGO but I'm kind of leery to pop the button out of the Spinner. What if the button on the Spinner isn't easily replaceable like the one on the KGO. So, I just cut a carto condom to the size of the part around the button and cut it open. It doesn't go all the way around the battery so I afixed scotch tape to hold it on. Doesn't look bad. Sure feels better on my index finger. I'm sure we'll come up with a better fix eventually. Maybe I'll just cut the KGO button down some and then Gorilla glue it onto the Spinner button.

I have bought 100% all natural VG e-juice and vaped it w/o diluting it. Not all carts are happy campers with that. As far as flavor, hmmm, the all natural seems to be more intense..I finally mixed it as a flavor shot to 80PG/20VG mixes.

Yeah...unthinned VG can clog up the clearos too.

 

[Kat56]

@ Gloria...Wow I've never had a T2 dump it's contents. The only thing other than the cracking tips I've had happened is they get joose into the center tube a little too easily for my liking - I hate gurgling. If I try the V2 coils I'll report back about them...5 wicks might make em wick better I guess. Hopefully Radel or BacsiBob will stop by soon and may have tried them.

Have a super Saturday everyone!

Old Curmudgeon,

In my extensive search for a DIY kit I didn't find anything. I ended up getting unflavored nicotine juice, some flavors and a syringe for measuring. There are a few places to get the juice, Mt Bakers is one and there are a few more, I got mine from MyFreedomSmokes. I got a high nicotine content juice, some VG and some PG to thin the nicotine and find just the right TH/Plumes, and just went crazy trying different concoctions.



What fun I am having and I found a flavor that knocks my socks off!! 5% Cinnamon Red Hots, 60VG/40PG at 27mg nic. Great flavor, good TH and good vapor.

My next experiment will be with peppermint

 

[Kat56]

Oh yesss....PEPPERMINT!!! That stuff ROCKS!!!

 

[Ken62]

It's interesting...

I started vaping 2 weeks ago with some yukky menthol mix and marlboro that had no taste, it said 24mg nic on the bottle but I don't think so now. I started mixing some McCormick's cimmamon and peppermint food flavoring into the marlboro and menthol with limited success, not much flavor and little relief. I was still needing a couple of analogs in the morning to get me jumpstarted for the day.

Yesterday I got my DIY supplies and - WOWOWOWOWERZERS!!!!! So much flavor! So much nicotine (36mg) that I have now cut it down by 25% and still got a buzz this morning. Now I'm sorry I didn't order that Mocha Cappuccino or Coffee, I'll bet they taste heavenly!!!

This morning I haven't needed that analog kickstarter yet!

Wahoo! You've come a long way in 2 weeks.
