Random DIY mixing and More

Wow this .6 mesh coil at 25 watts is more like I'm used too, and it's not hot. I'll stick with this coil for a while. Thanks all!

We all know Alanis Morisette is God which is super weird if you ask me.

You do say some things that are "out there" but I'm a big Alanis Morisette fan (In fact, I have a music collection I put together called "chicks rule"... from about 1999 to 2004 I kept saying all the good new songs were buy chicks... they ruled for 5 years) If you are interested, send me a PM and I will send you the MP3s) It also has Avaril Larvinge, Nelly Furtodo, Alica Keys, Christitna Aguilara, Dido, jewel, Melissa Ethridge, Michelle Branch, Natalie Merchant, No Doubt, Pink, Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Cow and Vanessa Carlton ( now that's some major chicks rule music!)

 

[vaper1960]

Yep. I know. I was just pointing out that everyone seems to use it. So it must be good. I never would have guessed that biscuit would be a popular flavoring.

You may not know but "biscuit" is not like biscuits and gravy... it's a simple shortbread cookie (the brits call cookies biscuits, french fries are chips and chips are crisps)

 

[JustWondering1]

I get it. I think. So you use the small hole configuration under the coil, right?

Another thing that makes me nervous is the size of juice flow holes because I use high PG juices.

Yes, I used the small hole disks under the coil. I also use one of the medium size airflow holes on the outside of the base of the atty.

I wouldn’t worry about the high PG percentage of your juice either. I usually use 70% PG juice and I don’t have any problems.

Good thing you didn’t bring up bacon. We would have had some stomachs grumbling.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the time you took to explain things and your patience with me. Back in the cart.

I’m glad you got it figured out

I think Zazie has some better math going on than I did. What strength did you make the 7% flavor mix? How big of a bottle did you mix? If it's a large quantity, you could use a syringe to measure how much you have to dilute it in a smaller bottle to get a sample and then measure and dilute the larger amount. I would just use a base with nic if it was me. I can vape anything from 6mg to 24mg without it bothering me. Yes basically I'd think it's going to be an add then taste scenario unless you can find someone that is well versed in dilution.

I made it 6mg and I mixed 150mls. It seems to me that if I mixed a 50ml bottle of base and put it all in there it would be close to original. Maybe Zazie said that. I am unsure of how much nic to put in though

 

[chanelvaps]

Yeah, by base, I mean nic/PG/VG.

Assuming a nic base of 10mgs/ml, a mix comprising .5mls of flavoring and 9.5mls of base would have 9.5mgs/ml. The doctored mix with .2mls more flavoring would have 9.3mgs/ml. Adding 3.8mls of base would bring the nic back up to 9.5mgs/ml.

I am lost

So I have this pre-made blueberry (Vape Kitchen blueberry donut) that is too strong and too sweet. I'm going to dilute it (and add some nic) but I'm not getting much donut (it is a good blueberry flavor) Any suggestions for flavors to add... bakery and/or creamy)?

I got the Drag S and it's not going well. It recognizes what coil you install and sets the wattage - and it burns my lips off after half a second! So I just tried the other coil, it's higher wattage and it set itself to 50w. Burned my lips off! What is going on? The first coil came at 35 watts and I had to go down to 20 so it wasn't so hot. This all is with airflow wide open.

I bought two Drag S's and love them and had none of those experiences. My coil is .20 (came with it) and I am vaping at 48 watts and love it. I set the watts myself.

 

[chanelvaps]

Anyone know why this Drag S is SO HOT and burns my lips on a 1 second hit? The recommended wattage is way to high on both coils in that the pod gets so hot I can't stay on it.

something must be wrong. Write to VooPoo

I agree.

@DLKnives Or start a thread in their subforum here. Or do both. This should not be happening.

 

[DLKnives]

I think I solved the problem which is my technique. I was using like my Aegis Pod but this thing is different so I went to a DTL technique of barely putting my lips to it and now I'm vaping where it says to. It was all me, and I'm embarrased. I hardly know the different types of devices and techniques but I am learning!

I am now also, it was me and how I tried to vape.

 

[PJReid]

@hittman or anyone else - have you tried the Zeus X Mesh. I have never used mesh so have no idea how hard the transition from my handmade coils to mesh actually is. I want to get a couple more RTAs just in case the no vape mail thing goes through. *sigh* I like the regular Zeus X RTA a lot and I also like the Augvape Intake Dual (which I used as a single coil.)

Again, thanks!

here for help again. Hoping some of you more experienced mixers can help me attain this answer that I have been racking my brains to get.
I found and made a recipe of all Flavorah flavorings. The total of flavoring only added up to 5%. I made this juice 70vg.
After I made it and waiting for it to steep I thought to myself "5%, that's not enough flavorings, why didn't I increase it?"
So I increased it. By 'editing' the recipe on ELR and then subtracting the difference between 7% and 5% and adding that.
Now it is way to strong. Yes, I know, I should have tasted it before I did this.
How can I figure out how much more PG and VG to add to get it back to its original state?
I would have thought the way to do it would be the same way I figured out the flavorings but NO because when checking the difference between the two, in the one with only 5% flavorings, the PG is actually higher then the one with the 7% flavorings.
This gave me a whole new sense of confusion.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

FLV flavors can be really strong! Just mix some unflavored base and dilute it.

Alanis Morisette made a perfect God for that particular movie - one which I personally enjoyed very much.
