    I need to revisit cheesecakes. I haven’t had a cheesecake vape in over 2 years! I was unsuccessful my first few times and kind of gave up. But I sure do love to eat the stuff! I think it’s time to try it again
    Should be several in Zazie’s blog

    Thanks! I’ll fire up the computer and check it out. I have a difficult time finding stuff via Tapatalk but it’s super easy to use for posting. Since I spend all day on my computer at work I usually don’t use it at home. But this is a good reason to use it

    Oh also, I am never without a cheesecake in one device.

    I forgot how much more there is to ECF on the computer and I found the blog! Decisions, decisions on what to make!:D Although I think I'll definitely try your "another strawberry cheesecake" recipe

    I ended up ordering one of those too. What can I say, I’m addicted to buying. I just loaded it with a blackberry mix that I’m trying to decide on. After that I’ll clean it out as best as possible and try doing some sft like you suggested.
    Keep in mind I actually only intended on using it for flavor tests (I watched a couple videos and suddenly realized it might work great for that) Haven't tried it yet (been one of those days...) Some of the comments said it is prone to flooding/gurgling (but I'm not even going to fill the tank... just soak the cotton) so will see how that goes. You might consider using it just for that.

    Somewhere between here and there
    I transfer my vg into a liter container that I can pour straight into my huge syringe. I think the shorter needles will work better for me. I hope the 8 gauge is better. Trying to squirt vg through a 14 gauge needle is hard. I’m not sure why I never thought of using a larger needle til today. :facepalm:

    I don’t use any syringes any more. I bought some 250ml squeeze bottles that someone linked on this thread. Just turn the quick open spout and pour.

    More than I got done but I found my stock of cheesecakes way too low. Have an immediate need to mix. I guess it is a good idea to keep some cheesecake base on hand.Hope I still have some.
    PUR cheesecake is supposed to be good (but then you have to order from River Supply... I wish other places had those (nothing against RS but I do like BCF too) At least they are very affordable :)

    I don’t know if it’s going to be good for flavor testing. I tried the same recipe in an ammit rda and the flavor was much better.

    It’s not my fav. Sticking with my tried and true. Cap and TFA.

    Do these fit universally? They’re in my cart but I’m just wondering if I also need to buy a special syringe to go with it or if it’ll fit my existing ones

    I think so. They are leur lock or leur slip. They worked fine on the syringes I bought that were 30 and 35 ml.

    "Quick and dirty" tests... mostly just to get a general idea of the flavor and how strong to mix it... not really a full blown "how will it vape" test. SFTs all the way (like new flavors I have never tried) I used to use my RDA with one coil and change wick (and dry burn for each flavor) I hope this will be easier. Hey, $7 and 50 "wicks"... why not?
    BTW, just got 10 ft of rayon (already tried some a friend gave me) Nothing against cotton but I do like it better.

    I use a scale for mixing but use a syringe for nic extraction. I like your idea of the squeeze bottles though

    Vaping since 8/9/2012
    I have a 60 ml syringe where I measure out nic and flavorings all in the same syringe. I have all my flavorings open and just squirt in the proper amount one on top of the other. I typically use a beaker for vg for my 200 ml bottles, and a syringe for vg when I make 100 ml or smaller batches. It works for me and it doesn’t take long to mix a batch. The only time consuming part is the vg through a 14 gauge needle. I’m hoping the 8 gauge cuts my time in half or more.

    I still have some old glass bottles of flavors that I keep a small syringe around for. Eventually I’ll transfer those into 10ml bottles. I bought a bunch of syringes before I started using a scale. I’ve given some away but kept some just in case.
