Vaping since 8/9/2012
yes and no....
the thing that you have to remember is that, while your base may be 3% nicotine and lets say a 50/50 pg/vg, you are adding flavorings to it so that will dilute your base and also add more pg so your end product will not be 3% nic nor 50/50, it'd really be something more around the lines of 1% to 2% nic and 60/40 to 70/30 pg/vg

which is why I always try to talk people into getting higher % nic base, it's a common mistake that new mixers make thinking that I only vape 3mg so a 3mg nic should be fine....but there again you have to remember that you are adding pg, vg, and flavorings so that in the end your juice really will only end up being about 1mg nic....
the other reason to get a higher % nic base like 100mg is because you are only using a very little so it will last you a lot longer....example, I vape at 1.5mg, using a 100mg nic base in a 50ml bottle of juice I only use .92 grams (about 15 drops or 0.75ml) but if I used a lower % of nic base, we'll go with the 60mg that I used to use, so 60mg of nic base in a 50ml bottle of juice I would have to use 1.44 grams (about 25 drops or 1.25ml)


as hittman suggested, if you know what % of flavoring you mix at then yes you could use that to make up a premixed base

for me, I don't see the point for myself as I mix at max vg and am only using a few drops of nic per bottle so it's not worth the effort for myself to make up a premixed base

;) I'd rather spend the time making oneshots (premixing flavorings for a juice so I can make it easily again next time, just add nic and vg)


I should change that to all other mods (not just the aegis) but yeah the capo series is kinda cheaply made, whatever board they use is messed up

I kinda botched the rose, really needed an extra fine point sharpie but I didn't want to go raid my daughters room for an outline marker :lol: so just used a normal sharpie
I don't use a base either. My mixes vary so much in flavor percentage my final nic would be all over the place. And since I don't use PG...it's just adding nic and vg...so one extra step versus using a base.

I do not want to vape more than 2 mg even by a little and I'm thinking about lowering it to 1.5 mg. I worked too hard to get it that low, down from 24 mg in 2012.

I toked on that 60 mg stig disposable once today at work and it held me over perfectly. No way could I vape that thing regularly. Blow your head off. That one toke combined with no breakfast and getting hot walking around in the buildings and in mechanical rooms at work made me feel a little nauseous.

    Morning Maniac Mixers! W00T!

    We went to our bank yesterday to get stuff notarized, and the very nice lady wound up not charging us anything. That was neat.

    Then we got Outback for dinner, and that was really strange as it sucked. I love Outback but this was not good so they are making us the same meal whenever we want. I always get the ribeye and it's usually fantastic but this one had no flavor and was way underdone - I couldn't eat it

    Underdone? I like my steak red and bleeding.

    I do still like my Kanger mini subtank (Rba or coils) It just doesn't get as much love as it used to.
    I have a couple STM's in my stash along with the RBA's and a bunch of coils. Pulled one out along with a Sigelei mini 30w last week. They're still a fine combo. :D

    Yup, you got it right. The way I type, I save 3 keystrokes ;) Might have been EHpro that gave it the moniker, and most of mine are their make.

    Have a few of the later models, in the stash. For me, too many parts for no gain. Others love 'em. K.I.S.S.



    Even the original 4+ml on a Pico 75 is a good shirt pocket carry :)
    Still love my KFL's and Russian 91%'s. The KFL19 has about the same number of parts.

    Yes sir, K.I.S.S. all the way! :D

    I've got a ton of EHpro KFL+ v2s and v1s and several Russian 91%s. Only one KFL+ v2 is in the rotation, because I feel obliged to try the other RTAs I've bought (though I'm falling down on that job), but I think it might be my favorite so far. Having to take out that screw to fill is the only thing I don't like about it.
    Zaz, have you tried your Tripod yet?

    They're very similar to building a modern Kayfun.

    I would ask Classy. The rules have changed cause anyone can use the classes now. Who knows what else has changed
    People are selling all sorts of things now.

    In @classwife's Classified Rules post from Oct 24, 2019 there is no mention of not being able to sell clone RBA's.

    Classified Rules

    Hopefully she will pop in and clarify.

    I mixed 200 ml of my key lime pie. It has 19% flavor in it. hmmm Maybe that's why I like it? I think I'm gonna play around with flavor %s in some other recipes.

    Sadly, my sceptre is leaking. From the pod down into the well. Just a couple of drops but that is the second time now. I don't think I've ever had a pod that didn't leak. Pods are not my favorite whatsoever, weak vapor, not enough airflow, and they all leak! Oh well...it will serve its purpose. Tomorrow I get to try out one of my disposables. I'm kinda excited about it as I've never tried one.
    Maybe try a new pod? I’ve got 4 sceptres running, no leaks (knock on wood)

    I piffed all my early Kayfuns--only kept the two K4s because I still like the draw, but I'm not using them anymore. Too fiddly. :lol:
    K4 is one of the only Kayfun's I didn't buy. Specifically because of the 15,000 parts. :lol:
    proxy-1.jpg
    All the newer Kayfun's have way less. SVM learned a big lesson. Went back to their roots w/the KFL19.

    ETA: Should have read a couple more posts. See you popped the mega parts list up. ;)

    Have you tried Molinberry Legendary Custard? I just got some and I am giving the sft a steep. I have seen many rave about custard premium. I couldn't find it anywhere but now know Chef's has it.
    Haven't tried MB legendary custard yet. Just checked, and it's on my list of flavors "to try". Thank you! :D

    Aw, Kai is beautiful. He looks so happy. Did he think he was still lap dog? Carli still thinks she is one. This morning she woke me up early with a good old sloppy face licking. Too funny.

    Intense males or females with a high drive are excellent for personal protection. But also good with kids and family. If provoked I think most GSD's will protect instinctually. It's the whole protecting the pack thing. You and your family are their pack.

    Here is a better pic of Hogan after playing and getting sprayed down with the hose. He was an east European black and tan sable. Big boy, went around 100lbs.

    He’s absolutely beautiful! How big was he, do I know? Withers? He looks bigger than 100, even fit.
