Debadoo, yes it was vapedudes ice ice I added the vinegar to, I love their juice but can't afford it, they were very good to me they replaced the 5 bottles with 5 more and it still tasted like listerine, I had vaped that flavor for 8 months with no issues so it could be just me, I diy only now and pay a fraction compared to most vendors.

purpleeeeeeeeeee I just got my taffy in the mail yesterday. Oh, and they threw in a vivi nova. Now I need clear purply tubes. :) Haven't tried the metal tubes but they sure are purdy. But I get a lot of metallic taste as it is from many things from so many fillings etc, so don't think I could handle a metal tube.



Yipes......hope they get that all taken care of hun!! I know it's not always as big a deal as it used to be, but it can be, so I hope it went well for ya. That vid was hilarious!!



Glad you can use it now!! Was it vapedudes? (unless ya don't wanna say). I tried a 10 ml of theirs my SIL bought, and it's the one that I love, just too pricey. But I haven't found any others I love that much. The one she got is very strong, but still sweet.

Glad you liked the video...I about split my side laughing and relatin' to much of it. Dr. took 3 layers of skin to get all the Basel cells (I think that's the way it's spelled) and a layer from another area of the nose and grafted it back there. Now my nose feels like it's got a headache. :lol:

On the lighter side...vape mail had some Dekang Desert Ship from YV and some USA mix from GP. Forgot how much I like the Desert Ship, doesn't seem to be as sweet as it useta be.

I had the same issue with checking the Tracking with USPS, strange...got another package due (tomorrow I hope) tracking says it arrived at SA before the one I received today. They both had expected delivery for today. IDK, something aint right with that ship...must be taking on too much water. :lol:

As long as it didn't go to Guam first from up yonder, guess I should celebrate that. :)

Loved the song video, yep, I can relate!!
Glad your nose is all fixed up and I hope it's headache goes away quick.
So you got your nose fixed and got some vape mail all in the same day. Oh happy day!!

I'm glad you have such fun with vaping Charlie.

I do Fran, and I have you to thank for a lot of that! Trust me, I think of you and your generosity so often! And many other of the good and kind peeps who have sent me stuff over time. There is just no way I can relate to you just how much enjoyment and appreciation I feel every day! I feel so blessed to have been treated so special by friends I've never met but who live in my heart! It was that out-pouring of caring and love that finally smacked me in the face that day that I finally put the cigarettes away after 10 months of vacillating with both. I felt like you guys cared more about me than I did about myself, and you actually gave me the tools to work with too! How could I not succeed? I've thanked each and every one, and if I wasn't so senile I would do it now, but you know who you are and trust me, I use and enjoy ALL of it daily, and hate to think what I would be doing without. I mean it quite literally when I say you've made my life better, and maybe even extended it so I can be around to enjoy my grandchildren a few more years! That is a priceless gift! ((((((HUGS))))))))

    I had to go to the Big city today..so it was my first longer trip since Ive started vaping..
    I calculated my mileage..I get about 33mi per ml of juice:lol:A side note I showed the nurse how my ecig worked..She was very interested in ecig's for her Bro..so I told her about ECF..a

    Wish my truck got that kind of mileage!!:laugh: At my Dr's appointment this week the nurse asked me about ecigs for her husband. I had a Gotvapes card in my wallet with ECF forum written on the back I gave to her and told her to have him call me if he had any questions. One way to use the cards I get in my vapemail!

    SIL sent a funny video, some may have gotten this in the emails circulating...

    Hysterical video!

    Oh No! Here's my letter to Provape Support:
    Today my mini just seemed like it was running 'hot'.​


    Sorry to read about your mini needing surgery. At least it was not fatal and can be fixed! Definite plus for the Provari.

    On a side note: The two 5ml samples that I put 2 drops of white vinegar in each. Have shown improvement in taste. In the cinnamon roll it calmed down the cinnamon taste and I can taste the roll on the exhale. The Kentucky vanilla sample I can taste the subtle vanilla flavor coming through and not just strong tobacco. I will try apple cider vinegar on the next attempt and see if that makes a difference compared to distilled white vinegar. I need to write that on my shopping list before I forget and am standing in front of the pantry not knowing why!!!​

    Thanks Kay and Hi Mike....missed seeing you around today. And good night.

    Unfortunately, I am still working the night shift on a rotating 12 hour schedule and slept most of the day. I usually spend my off days catching up on my reading! Too much to read and learn and not enough time to do it in!

    Today, I am finally trying a Vivi Nova for the very first time. I was a bit worried about getting muted flavor but so far it seems okay to me. Might be because I've got my really strong tasting RY4 in there hehe. So far, so good...YIPPEE. I like that it can be completely disassembled and uses regular drip tip. :D

    CharlieGirl it sure sounds like DIY is perfect for you. I'm so glad you enjoy it and have fun with it. I'm just beginning to do some DIY - I hope I do as well as you :)
    Have a great day everyone!!
    Yeah Kat, it is fun, and that's key, have fun with it. I know it is a bit intimidating when you start with all the measuring and stuff, but if you can sort of "standardize" your mixes it is a lot easier. For ex: I add approx 1/3 bottle VG (cuz I don't care for PG much, your choice) add my 15% flavor, add more VG to bring it up to 2/3 bottle or so, not too critical to me, and then add my 50mg nic to fill the remainder of the bottle for a total of 15-16mg or so of nicotine. Just by eye I know that a half a bottle, any size bottle with 50mg of nicotine will work out to about 25 mg total per bottle as I do for some morning vapes, or a meager 10% will be around 5-6mg, or anything in between. I'm not very fussy usually, just in the ballpark. The only time I actually measure is when I am mixng for someone else because I know the range already and how it affects me.
    I always work at getting the flavor accurate first and add the nic at the end, just in case the flavor sucks I don't waste nic. Something I do now too is mix individual flavors separately, complete with nicotine, and when I want to mix flavors it is much easier because they are already at their optimum flavor percentage. It is really hard sometimes trying to get a decent mix when one flavor needs 7% and another 20% and you have no clue before you start mixing! Even from the same company! Of course you use up a lot more bottles and storage space, but it is worth it in the end because you also have a slew of ready to vape individual flavors on hand too! Whatever works I guess! That's why I love the sharing of the forums...so many different ideas to adopt or add to your own, or lack of! LOL! There have been so many times when reading I've said "geez, why didn't I think of that!" of some simple tip or trick. Gotta love it!
    Wow, you're a DIY Master! Are you a good cook too?
    Far from a master Janet, but I sure do enjoy it! My DH is always razzing me that I need to go into business because I will never "smoke" all of this myself!
    Most people think I'm a good cook, though my tastes are a bit esoteric for DH, he is so mundane! LOL! He is boring to cook for which is the case these days, but I love when I get to cook for the rest of the family! My oldest son especially is a kick, he will try about anything!

    I hear ya. I've got one really strong juice, Radiator Pluid, I actually like it better in the Vivi Nova because it tames an otherwise in your face anise taste.

    Here we go again. Tonight I tried an all cotton roll rolled wick. Just took some of the CVS cotton roll and stretched it out then rolled it up. Then threaded it through a coil. I actually had to use more cotton than I thought necessary. My 1st two wicks slid through the coil and seemed to be not too tight or too loose. I then added a few drops of juice and the wick shrunk up in diameter to the point of being 1/2 the diameter of the coil. Wound up using more cotton than anticipated and rolled it tighter than expect. But my 3rd one didn't shrink up and become loose. Installed it, filled up the tank and Wow! My 1st impression - I like it better than the bamboo cotton. Flavor seems better and the vapor production is better than the bamboo w/ the cotton over-wick. I'll use it like this, then add the over-wick to compare w/ and w/o the over-wick.

    The coil is 6 wraps (4 full wraps and 2 partial end wraps) giving me 2.1Ωs. The coil was wrapped on a 1/16 machine screw and is 1/8" (~3mm) when taken off the screw

    Yup, it works

    Note to self - you got to play around w/ this stuff earlier in the evening. Having a nic buzz just before bed, just ain't right. :laugh:
