I noticed Blues is trying his luck with the coffee extract. Today I' need to sample what I drained and then figure this math stuff out for the nic. Yesterday I finally broke down and stopped by the mall kiosk to buy my favorite coffee. I picked up 4 30ml bottles for $85. YIKES!!! But I just can't find any vendor that comes even close to matching this flavor.

I do think I found a close second to my Kona so I ordered 2 large bottles of Hot Chocolate with Marshmallows from sweet-vapes, yet another expensive vendor.

Blues you're on...but hurry because we are leaving April 3. you sound just like me.

I have so much money invested into samples, I don't even care to add up the dollars.

I ask Semi in many posts back to just sell me some of his, he ignored me. ;-) I did read a good thread about DIY over the weekend, have you read this Blues, some really helpful posts.


My wife and I are in on the whale watching. I mean, just in case you want to extend an invitation :blush:

I have been through sample after sample, Corpa, and don't ever like them. I try steeping them and try again. No go. There are only a few juices I vape regularly.

I wish I could DIY, but I don't even like my results. Maybe I'll come up big on the coffee extract. And then again, maybe Semiretired will get his first customer for his new e-liquid business :laugh:

Blues / Corpa - I really never want to get into a eliquid / flavoring business - taste are just so subjective and not once has what I did one time turned out exactly the same the next time - I continually tweak (more of this and less of that) - let it soak longer (get busy) or let it steep longer (again busy). They are all vapable for me...

Like I said in an earlier post - some (like the extract from Black Silk) will not be repeated, but will still be vaped. So far there is only one extract that I did that I could not vape - my attempt at taking a shortcut using instant coffee - it tasted worse than the cigarettes I was trying to get away from... I actually thought about giving it to someone that really wanted a liquid that tasted like cigarettes - because this one tasted exactly like stale cigs - if you follow the coffee thread you can read my fiasco and my plea for help to get the taste out of my mouth...:facepalm:

As I told Blues I am not scientific with this stuff - I just want something that satisfies my cravings and keeps me off of the smokes.

Yeah, I got dragged to Macy's - :p

and I do not use tanks - yet... I am currently waiting on the mailman - starting tomorrow or Wed for my new PV, which I plan on planting a tank on top of, but I plan on making my own. My4jewels is the expert on tanks also - she is the one that got me interested in trying it...

Where is she anyways???

Oooooh a new PV, what kind? You know you have to post a pic.

Tanks are my favorite and I like the metal cap large and small that I purchased from Vaporkings.com but even the little one is too tall for the Boge. Appears the sale is off but the small tanks were $13.95. I'm thinking I might have hubby cut the small one down to fit the Boge.

G'Mornin' Everyone! Getting a late start (online) myself. Things to do and all...

Dunno if my alarm clock still works either. I just wake up somewhere between dawn and 8 a.m. That is soooo liberating!! Frankly, I've never felt so free in my life. No real obligations, no mortgage nor credit card debt. Other than taking care of my critters and keeping the house clean I'm a free agent.

There will be no gardening for me for some time. I'm in the midst of a forest, and nature does a pretty fine job all by herself. I've been designing a large shed to be added in front of my house for tractors, my Hammerhead go-cart, and gardening tools. I put it together in SketchUp and can do the framing myself, but my son will have to do any "high" work. I've designed a small pond/fountain to go next to it and already have the pumps and liner. My kids will need to bring rocks up from the creek or the gravel pit on my property - but I can build it myself. THEN - I can do some gardening around the house. Can't wait to start! But - first I have to buy a new chainsaw, and a new air compressor, etc. so on. :glare:

Rave, sounds like the projects I have going.

One other thing that I do on the side as a hobby is designing stuff - houses (floorplans mostly), landscaping (in unique environments), geothermal apps (off grid mostly), sound buffering apps (in landscaping and off grid), wood work of all kinds and I am going to try my luck with 12v apps for my off grid stuff also... Many of my designs have become reality and many have just been a hobby to see if I could do it...

My wife wants me to design a way to slow down - she says I have so many hobbies because I was so used to long hours and long weeks during my more professional career times... That is one of the reasons we do more camping and fishing now. I am not allowed to take my laptop with me if we go fishing - camping yes, but not fishing. I even bought a solar battery charger for my laptop because I could not stand not being able to use it when I was off grid... I am working on it though - slowing down that is... :facepalm:

The PV I am buying is basic. I want to see what I can do with it - I have a few ideas on how to improve on it or at least tear it up some. My4jewels has a tank collection. By what she has posted - she has a holder with all of her mixes right next to her at all times...

Hello, Rave. Nice to see you. Corpa, Semiretired, and me have been loosely conversing here. Seems we've lost some important players - Bostonsnboxers, Jewels, txtumbleweed, among others. I'm still on the mend so I float in and out.

I always liked to grow food. Not near time to plant here in Pennsylvania - although with the mild winter the spinach, kale, chard, and collards I planted in the fall are soon a go for the table.

It seems my wife likes to sit in the sunroom and watch the wildlife eat my plantings. So I plant more for my wife's entertainment than I do for our consumption.

Hey guys, I haven't checked in lately but when I saw Semi's post about fishing and camping I had to respond. We purchased an older Class A last year to see if we would like that and now that's turned into another hobby and something to keep repaired. Planning on upgrading in a couple years when we both retire and do some real traveling and fishing.
One of our favorite spots is Lake Juliette. If you haven't been there you really should.
Guess I'm glad I don't have any problem in slowing down. If I slowed down anymore I'd be backing up. When I'm off the grid I'm really off the grid!!

How many of you are in here and vaping? I mean besides me. Don't you wish we would have had this years ago before all those cigarettes? Are you dealing with any repercussions from smoking cigarettes? Or did you never smoke and just took up with vaping? Tell your story. Let's get the senior side of the story!
That's been my main wish since I've started vaping. The "if only's" haunt me. If only I had refilled my Mom's cartos and taking a puff instead of lighting her cigs for her. If only my Aunt's and Uncles vaped instead of smoked, my brothers, my friends, my Dr., my school teachers.... the "if only" lists goes on forever.

For over 40 years I tried desperately to quit smoking. Nothing worked for me. The harder I tried, the more I smoked. It took a lot of convincing from the vapers that the eCig would work. yeh right I thought. But, with their inspirational testimonies, I gave it a try. Within days I was down to only 4 cigs a day. UNBELIEVABLE!!! With that knowledge and encouragement residing through my being, I challenged the last 4 to a dual. By counting the ones I hadn't smoked, before long those last 4 were bagged and put into my trophy shelf as well. Exciting!!!

However, when I'm sad or overly stressed, I still reach for the old habitual comfort blanket and smoke. I hate it. It's disgusting. I can't wait to toss them forever again. But, I need something more I guess, during those types of hard for me times. Eventually, I'll win over it for good, through all future sad times. It's a matter of being well armed and ready for any battle life throws at me.

My point, though, is that with Vaping, I have avoided thousands and thousands of cigs. With cold turkey, big pharma, hypnotist, church, etc... I avoided perhaps a total of 60 cigs over 40 + years.

I love cappuchino, what can I say. :)

Taxman - that is what we spent some of our weekend doing - looking at upgrading to a Fifth Wheel. As we slow down we want to spend more time in the RV and a Fifth Wheel fits the size reqs for spending a few weeks at a time away from home... We have looked at Class A's, but we already have the truck and the with a Class A we would have to tow a small car - it is to much of a hassle to drive to Walmart in an RV...
