still playing with my coconut mix

i mean it's ok....not what i really want but it's not bad....
great mouth feel and not drying, if i could maybe let it steep but that ain't gonna happen :p
also trying to lower my %, I tried 10% but there was hardly any flavor if at all
12% is ok, light but ok.... I'm used to 15%

so well this is where I'm at right now with it and it's ok, slightly sweet, plenty of plume, great mouth feel
tfa coconut 1%
tfa coconut candy 1%
pur fresh coconut 1%
tfa pie crust 2.5%
fw coconut cream pie 1.3%
lb fresh cream 1.5%
flv catalan cream 1.5%
vt pudding base 2%
inw cactus .2%

the flavor isn't where I want it to be at but really enjoying vaping it, nice thick silky smooth mouth feel
it's still more cream than coconut, which isn't a bad thing, just not what I want
Take that pur up to 3% and drop the flv catalan cream to .5-1% max. Just my opinion

Well that was quite a weekend! Our beloved Australian government decided to sneak a bill through Parliament to totally ban the importation of liquid nicotine from July 1st! With a penalty of $220K!

This lead to a frenzy of messaging all my vaping buddies and a flurry of overseas ordering via courier!

So vaping in Australia is pretty much dead from here on in.......gutted!

I have enough stash for about 6 years, but I'm lucky, I was prepared and I DIY. Many others aren't as lucky, and millions of smokers will have no chance to make the switch...... Tragic!

    Good morning :)

    Anyone use ultrasonic cleaners for their vape stuff? Or just clean it the old fashioned way?

    I just use hot water. I don’t really clean coils.

    That’s terrible! If I was a vaper there, I’d have several gallons of nic being shipped before the date. I’m afraid that we aren’t going to end up much better. Will you still be able to buy hardware?

    I just use a mixture of hot water a bit of dish soap and rubbing alcohol to clean my RTAs, syringes, bottles and thoroughly rinse them with hot water. I use toothbrushes, bottle brushes, cotton and q tips. Coils I just dry burn I've never cleaned them with water. If an ultrasonic cleaning machine worked, it would be awesome to set it and forget it for my RTAs. I'm hoping to get another scale soon, so less stuff to clean and rinse when mixing.

    Tragic indeed :(:(:(
    Maybe there will be some loophole or workaround to circumvent this ridiculous legislature.

    So far there no mention of hardware, but we are all worried about the BS "This Product Contains Nicotine" crap that's all over everything.....

    I use the UC for new tanks to get the oil off. Long time since I've had to do that though.

    Maybe, but would you bet $220K on it?

    Who knows, it could be 220K for large scale importers and $200 or a stern warning for someone ordering a single bottle from China. Or even just confiscation. Would they really have the resources to test every bottle of PG that comes through? Maybe they are just hoping to scare people into submission with big numbers.

    Whatever, I would wait for someone else to be the test case.

    I am sad to hear this and I fear many other countries are right behind.
