    I almost have all my vape stuff in the living room floor. One more load and everything will be together. Then I can start an inventory and store it away. I have too much stuff. :blink::facepalm::cry::eek: Very few regrets but I did not make good purchases on a few things when I first started this hoard. Good for end of times I suppose. All my DIY stuff is together but not organized. But I’m feeling better, and I don’t want to buy anything else. :sneaky::blush:
    Good to be stocked:thumbs:

    Somewhere between here and there
    My wife’s still not feeling 100% so I went and did some grocery shopping and made dinner. I’m almost done with the dishes but decided to take a break. Monday is garbage pick up so I have to get it all together and to the curb. I am trying out one of the kanger clapton coils I bought for .99 a pack. For once I’m very happy with the purchase. I wanted one more type of drop in coil for the stash and they will be a good fit.

    Don't know yet, was watching NASCAR but that's over so now just watching TV. Maybe watch a John Wayne movie later - I watch a lot of those and have them on DVD.
    I probably saw all his movies when they came out.

    These are all new to me so whatever mixing % you would suggest on the ones you know
    Standalones I go 5-10%. The Supremes I’d start with 7. Light Fire 8-10. For mixing choco I’d go 2-4% on Havana. Choco doesn’t cover very much. Your aged burley I would treat like your Honduran. I forgot your 5th one.

    If I do it at all, I'm definitely starting with cold, just to get my feet wet. No real investment cost doing that. But if I remember right, str8vision's thread mentioned that ethanol generally produced better tasting juice that gunks the coils less, so it's worth considering. But don't trust my memory.:confused:
    Heat and alcohol extractions will extract some nicotine (unlike cold macerations). Not sure how much. You’d have to research that. But it’s enough that you should know so you can compensate in your blends.

    Fran, try the Havana as a standalone too. Go about 7%. You wont want to vape it for long but it’s a good after dinner vape. I don’t drink coffee but I suspect it would be good with a morning cup of java too.

    Oh yeah. Latakia Fire Cured. Latakia is pungent. Stands out. Most people like Latakia in a blend and only in small amounts. But truthfully I cannot predict what the fire curing does to it. If I had to guess, it’s pretty strong. I’d sft that one if I got it. 5%.

    I would think Havana standalone in one of them minifits you have would be perfect. Easy to grab while you’re poisoning yourself with that joe. Good wakeup routine. What is your nic content?
    6mg on the nic
