    I’m back! Was in the hospital since last Tuesday. Excruciating pain pancreatitis & gall bladder. Had surgery last Thursday. Pain like no other started Memorial Day night. Good thing I got my flavors orders in before. Still recovering. So I’ll be reading along until I’m recovered.

    I hope you recover quickly, and I'm glad that they were able to find a cause and solution for your pain :wub:

    It seems as if most of the recipes I find online are 2+ years old. I assume these are mtl recipes(if there is such a thing.) Since some people(me) are dtl vaporers, low resistance high wattage, should the recipes be altered? The reason I ask is because I did a simple sft with 1% spearmint, in my nord at .6 ohms it is slightly noticeable. Tried the same juice in the Freemax Mesh Pro, quad .15 ohms, and the spearmint flavor was great.

    Good morning. I have been up forever and mixed one already (Glazed Donut) in honor of National Donut Day.

    I've got a sft of a glazed donut flavor sitting in my cabinet waiting to be tried. I don't remember what brand it is.

    I think so. I've noticed definite differences from device to device. Even moving the same tank to different mods. I don't know if it's the same tank I got with the Twister kit I reviewed but that was one of the best flavor producing tanks I've tried. I just don't want to get into buying a bunch of coils for it. I am cheap and prefer to build my own. However, its a great flavor tank for someone that wants drop in coils.

    Sorry to hear this — missed you. Hope you are on track for a speedy recovery. Rest up.

    Just placed an order with Chefs. There were a few flavors I wanted however they were OOS on two and did not carry two. The shipping was 7.08 GBP which is more than my last order. No idea why it went up.

    But, it is such a lovely grapefruit! :)

    At one time in my life I use to live in Dallas and loved the TX Rudy Reds. Things changed a few years ago and for medical reasons I cannot eat or drink grapefruit and as a result I do not vape it. Better safe than sorry.

    I'm retired, but when I worked we had a saying. Always err on the side of safety!

    I saw some people complaining on FB about shipping costs going up and I guess they had to change their shipping prices because they were losing money on shipping.

    Did you order more? I’ve noticed in my last 2 orders they were taking a lost because they charged that flat rate (I forgot how much) but when they arrived & I looked at the postage on the box they actually paid about £2ish more. Maybe they fixed their system?

    I don’t have guava... knowing you like it (aka NOT sweet) puts it on the list!!
    i'm not sure what guava tastes like, I used to drink sobe's as a teen and almost all of them had it mixed in....
    the om vapors I had was almost a lemony taste but not quite....
    this....eh...is somewhere between a lemon and grapefruit would be the best way to describe it, tart citrus with a hint of sweet...put some in my dripper and i don't know if it's because there was another flavor in there it's almost an apricot/grapefruit, not enjoying this.... lol i had my caramel apple pie cheesecake in there but had vaped it to almost dry hit so thought to give the guava cheesecake a try after it's steeped almost 2 days....and somehow it's almost tasting more like apricot or peachy grapefruit, ehhh i don't like oranges and most orangish colored fruits (funny since orange is my favorite color) now grapefruit i don't mind so much can take it or leave it....
    I mixed up a Pina colada V2 CAP at 8% Jamaica rum FA at 1.75 % and Whipped Cream FLV at 1.75 %

    Doesn’t taste much like any Pina colada that I’ve ever had. Really disappointed. Any suggestions. Pina Colada shouldn’t be this difficult.
    I haven't tried this one it was in my calculators recipes (though i'm not sure what the original manufactures were since I edited everything to be what I have on hand)
    French Vanilla 1.25%
    Coconut 3%
    Pineapple 3%
    Black Cherry 1.5% (it was probably originally just cherry, I think maraschino cherry would work better)
    Kentucky Bourbon 1.25% (i'd think rum would be better though)

    It seems as if most of the recipes I find online are 2+ years old. I assume these are mtl recipes(if there is such a thing.) Since some people(me) are dtl vaporers, low resistance high wattage, should the recipes be altered? The reason I ask is because I did a simple sft with 1% spearmint, in my nord at .6 ohms it is slightly noticeable. Tried the same juice in the Freemax Mesh Pro, quad .15 ohms, and the spearmint flavor was great.
    I'd say rule of thumb for pod type systems would be like the old cig-a-like carts %'s need to be upped to around 20% at least, if not 30%
