Thanks Mike. So, it would burn if the wicks got a bit dry?

Kinda wondering about that because I like the eternity in drip mode, and vape it right up to the point there is a very slight hint of burnt taste before I add drops. It's really the only way I know all the joose has been used, and time to add more.

This is really interesting...think I'll get some to try it.


Oh...and a question on the hemp. Would "natural" be the best color choice?

Mike meant to say that the hemp DOESN'T burn as easy. You'll get to know what it tastes like right before you need to add more. I did the opposite - I added more before it was used up and ended up with juice running down the side. That usually happened when I was vaping and reading and not paying attention.

Mike will be back shortly, a friend is talking to him in the driveway.

Most are using natural (and are assuming it is natural). Some go w/ white on the assumption the manufacturing process takes it all to white and then 'color' is put back in even 'natural' color.

You're quite welcome! I understand hemp is OK, but my understanding is bamboo is the most absorbent natural material.

A couple of the "high guru's" in the wick thread are swearing that hemp is better than any of the cotton or bamboo wick materials. But they've been through a lot of different types of hemp and only recommend 2 different brands. The 'others' just didn't work out for one reason or the other.

    Thanks Janet. I've grown to really love dripping in the evenings on my i06 with my pretty drip tips - purple being my favorite one :D

    I don't see myself going much into tinkering with building coils...just feeling like I need to assure myself that I can do it well enough if the time comes when stuff may not be so widely available as it is now. The eternity really is great for dripping - I was really impressed with the flavor and seems I use less juice with it than carto tank or clearo...another benefit that may serve me well, not knowing what the future may hold for us.

    Hope Mike can take a peek and lemme know if "natural" is right or not.

    Good for you getting the hang of building coils. It doesn't hurt to learn because you never know when you might get stuck needing one. Doesn't look difficult, just delicate. Mike wouldn't know what to do if I started making my own coils!! He's got it down pretty good and quick so I'm letting him take care of building our devices and taking care of them. I think he's getting a kick out of teaching me how to use the ProVari. Just in time too, because I just found out a friend's daughter is trying vaping so I can pass on a eGo or 2 to her to get her going.

    Now if I could only get this juice making down. I've done OK with some RY4 recipe's for Mike that seem to be working, but I'm not doing too well on my fruits. Went back and checked Hoosier's notes today and I'm either using too much or not enough flavor. Seems to be a fine line, so I'm experimenting. I tried a wild cherry vanilla and a pomegranate and a peach today so I'll let them sit for a couple days and see.

    TPA Juicy Peach @ 12% with 1 drop LJ/3ml

    If ya nail the Cherry Vanilla, PLEASE let me know!

    Absolutely! I love passing on recipes just like I love passing on good books. There's a lot of recipes out there and it looks like the flavors are pretty much mixed to be a total of 20% flavor. SO, since my own concoctions haven't been working out too well I'm going to try some of those. I'll let you know.

    Would you use the lemon juice for creamy fruit mixes as well as the straight fruit mixes?

    @flintlock62....thanks much for the recipes! :)

    @Kat....Just let me know if you would like some of the Aunt Lydia's Bamboo. I have a lifetime supply and could just drop some in an envelope to you.

    Thanks Janet. I've grown to really love dripping in the evenings...

    @Janet.... pointing up laughing-smiley-emoticon.gif

    @Iffy...TPA juicy peach added to my upcoming flavor order. Thanks! :)

    I use ACV for desserts and savory recipes; 1 drop/3ml. Any recipe with a cream component, I would treat as a dessert/savory, but that's just me. Please note that some folk may prefer more drops of ACV or LJ. My ratio is just a general rule of thumb.
