I also just received some "urgent" "Whistleblowers" training that like I was "urgently" assigned even though it wasn't due until December.

OMG if they expect me to "Whistleblow" on my like, first month I really AM gonna kill myself. Although I did the training I guess IDK why but I think I will hold off on emails. Dude.

    @Sugar_and_Spice Can you help?

    I’m not great with math or explaining it. Hoping Sugar will help you.
    Yes I could just give the math formula for the nic but that could cause lots of confusion. I think maybe as a newcomer it would be better to look at some free online ejuice calculators before jumping in to mixing. Just to give you a sense of what all goes into mixing your own. E cig recipes can be found at most of the vendors we buy from. Also if you go back up 1 level to the Ejuice DIY forum and scroll down the page you can find a wealth of info there.

    Does FLV Vanilla Custard have cinnamon?
    No cinnamon.

    It's not an in your face custard like CAP vanilla custard v1. Nor is it like FA custard premium. It's more mild, or mellow, and sits pretty transparently in a mix. Balanced. Easy to work with and plays well with others.

    Thanks everyone for the well wishes.

    We are okay, missing shingles, corner of my house got hit by a big ole cypress but mostly only damaged the siding. Almost flooded but "luckily" the eye saved us since it gave us a long break from the rain.

    I agree...an ejuice calculator is the way to go.

    Nah he's off tomorrow. I will email it to the husband tomorrow. It's fine I have more than a week's worth of meds. It will probably involve me signing some form saying "So and so did such and such." I can't imagine it's going to be anything tragic.

    I get in bed very soon also need to find clothes for tomorrow. Strange how that can be daunting at times.; Grey pants day ;Thins must mean I have PMS that is when the grey pants come out. But-- no ironing go with everything etc. you can't lose.

    I just need to do it tonight the poor retired husband who can GO back to sleep once awakened gets mad if I like, have the light on too long in the am.

    I had a really good weekend. Just feel calm and happy. I think the vape stocking was stressing me out and I’m glad it’s done. I felt productive. Had fun at Mom and Dad’s. Weather was perfect. Son and I went to the shoe store and we both got a pair of Skechers. Mom always buys my son a pair of shoes for Christmas so his pair is a Christmas gift from her. Already started Christmas shopping. I want to knock it out early. I have a checkup on Friday at my doctor. I’m ready to start exercising and eating better. Time to refocus on something besides stocking.

    Glad you had such a good weekend :)

    I don’t need anything more so I have started doing a bit of Christmas shopping too.

    Nice review, I couldn't see the pictures but I have a Swag II in my hand at this moment so I know what it looks like :)

    What do you think of the Swag 2? I won one and had some trouble with it? One piece broke off, but that's just bad luck and I glued it on. The main trouble is with the coil meant for higher wattage vaping tasted hot and terrible and I only had it up to 50w. I don't know if I just got a bad coil or the mod doesn't work well at high wattage. The second coil did fine at 30w, but its maximum rating is 40w. It's more of a MTL coil.

    @Sugar_and_Spice, @*RJ*, @Krazys karma

    I agree with Sugar and RJ. Try one of the online calculators or get yourself one of the ejuice calculator applications and play around with it.

    The apps all have fields for entering your nic and VG/PG. Hit calculate they tell you how much nic for however much you want to make.

    At ELR just select a new recipe and plug in your VG/PG ratio and desired nic. It will calculate everything for you automatically.

    The best way to learn this is by doing before mixing. That way you will see for yourself. And it will make more sense.

    I use an old application called eJuiceMeUp but there are newer (better) ones that are more current.

    ETA: There is a newer application linked in my next post.

    I purchased the mod not the kit. What piece broke, it's one piece other than the buttons?

    I haven't ran it in high wattage, 20 watts in SS TC (TCR) works great. Pulse mode works good, straight wattage works nicely, curves works as it should, bypass works fine.

    Perhaps you had boost on high (VWH)? Or it could have read the resistance wrong and was firing hot, from what I can tell it doesn't constantly read resistance like a lot of devices do.

    I would try DIY > VW > VWN or Pulse mode.

    Thank you so everyone plz feel free to tell me how you store you're vg/pg and flavors?
    Here is mine. I keep my VG/PG in the fridge because I take a looooong time to use it up. I know it's not necessary, it would be fine if I stored it somewhere else. :) I have easy squeeze bottles for mixing. Some flavors in fridge, some in my storage bin in my sewing room closet.
