Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Ok that makes me feel a bit better then, I will wait till Friday and if nothing, then will email them

Also found out I have enough points for a $10 off at ejuices.com, so if like the mini, will go back and order the solo, just may be a month before back home to get it, but for $26, it's a no brainer.

I’m pretty darn sure your going to like it.Hopefully it will arrive by Friday.

@PJReid Pam, you might like my new mix. It certainly has that cool bite to it.

I saw the recipe and it does look good. I don't have PUR Raspberry and I don't have any Rhubarb. It sounds good though. I haven't tried mixing anything with blueberries and vodka.

I think you could go with a different Raspberry and a cranberry instead. I think I like it so much because I kinda loaded it down with fruit.

I cannot tell you what a happy day I’ve had.

Besides my beautiful boy being home from the vet hospital and looking and great I FINALLY got around to mixing.

I haven’t been able to mix for what feels like 2 months- maybe more. It started with my torn thumb ligament which turned into a fibro/ms flare leading to my bipolar depression leaving me bed bound for a couple of weeks.

Only to be capped off with the near death of one of my beautiful dogs Levi and hospitalized and sick for over a week.

Fortunately I live in an area that has the best teaching animal hospitals like Tufts which has a specialist for everything and they consult on all their cases.

The Do Not Resuscitate order I signed Saturday really put it over the top. Luckily after many tests and a process of elimination a probable cause was found and is now being treated. He’s home and really seems himself. It will necessitate lots of monitoring and tweaking but I think we’re out the woods.

The stress was overwhelming including coming up with the almost $5k bill. Smartly I have insurance for him that covers most procedures at 80%. The bad news is it needs to be paid up front. They need to try to change that and bill the insurances directly.

Anyway, I was determined to do something relaxing and that I enjoy doing today. I’ve been vaping mostly store bought juice nah so I finally got a list of easy juices to make. The one rule was they had to be 3 maybe 4 flavors at most since my focus isn’t quite where it should be.

I managed to mix 5-6 15-20ml bottles of juice and most are new to me. So far all have been a success- thank you gods I needed that lol!

I even managed to rewick several disgusting RBAs and replace a drop in coil on the Cascade which has been a life saver. Sub ohm drop in coils definitely have their place in emergencies.

I can’t tell you how wonderful it is to vape my own DIY juice on cleaned coils and wicks!! I’m in heaven.

Now if I could only win the lottery to cover the vet hospital bill then things would be even sweeter if that’s possible since I’ve got my little guy cuddled up next to me snoring.

Life is good again. I plan on making some more easy peasy juices tomorrow and recoil more tanks tomorrow as well as list some of my shinys that I just don’t want or use. No sense in keeping gear I don’t like or use for whatever reason when someone else can be enjoying them.

Missed my vape family here but I’m avoiding all the bad news. I’ve called, emailed, signed petitions but I need a few days to recover my balance and serenity.

I hope all everyone is well & that I haven’t missed to much from my vape family. I’m looking forward to jumping back in here. I missed the camaraderie only found here Sorry this was so long. Have a great night everyone.

So happy to here you are doing better and have your fur baby back I left a 4 flavor recipe a little way back

Just curious the thoughts of the Mixers here about using some of these flavors that contain D/A/AP. Do you use them or do you find the same flavor without it? And is there a significant difference in flavor between, let's say CAP V1 and CAP v2?

I'm sure this territory has been crossed many times on this thread but I'll be danged if I go dig it up.

My opinion goes along with what many others have stated shortly on the past: the bad chemicals are very tasty. I use a few custards and creams that are either DX or V2 and they just are not as good.
I vape a lot of liquid so I have been a little concerned with this whereas many people don't feel they are getting much of those chems so aren't worried.
There are 2 flavors I use a lot from Capella, Vanilla Custard and NYCC, I have both V1 and 2 and the V1 is significantly richer and it's not just the flavor but mouthfeel as well. It does make a difference....
The V1's also tend to build up and are sometimes TOO rich for a mix, vape tongue or something.
That being said, I try to mix V1 flavors as extras or in smaller %.
Again, I'm vaping up to 30mls a day. If I was vaping less than ten, I probably wouldn't worry.
Another note, there are a number of flavorings that are not identified as V2 or DX that were developed as replacements for some of the "bad" flavorings. Vanilla Gelato, Vanilla whipped Cream, I think are versions of vanilla bean ice cream without certain chems, as example. Don't quote me on that lol.

Good morning, random folks

Good evening, Frannie!

Question of the day. What is your preferred vaping style as far as tanks go? MTL or DL? Drop-in coils or wind your own? etc?

Relaxed, loose MTL--don't like too tight MTL like the Berserker and such. Both drop-in and RTAs.

These Zenith coils aren't helping any. Love the things. I'm strictly MTL and I rarely vape over 10W. Still loving my carto tanks also and use them daily. The only RBA I seem to want to coil is my old Mini Sub that I still love. I also still love my ego ones, just rewick over and over ( only ever had to coil one ). Also as for pods I love my Z-biip with also takes the Zenith coils and I love the tiny Minifit too. Keeping my ton of wire and prewound coils. Ya never know.

Wow. I had no idea how similar our preferences are (except for the carto tanks--don't do cartos anymore). Those are all my favorites.

Do you have a preference between the 0.8 and 1.6Ω Zenith coils? I can't make up my mind. I probably should get more of those. I own both a Zenith and a Zlide tank. And maybe a couple more boxes of CLR coils.

How is the airflow on that Z-biip? Not too tight, I hope?

Carry on, random mixers.

Those are two flavors I love as well but I vape well under 10ml a day

Hey, Pretty Bird. I had no idea we have similar tastes in gear. As much as I try I cannot pick between the.8 and the 1.6 so I alternate them.I don’t find airflow on the Zbiip To be tight at all.

I'm getting frustrated with ejuices.com, they sent me a tracking email on Monday, and still shows as pre-shipment, so they printed a shipping label, but still not got it to the post office, if not moved by Friday, guess I will have to start sending messages, I'm only home till the end of next week, and thought I would have plenty of time to get it in time, now I am not so sure at this rate, hate companies that print shipping labels but don't actually get the packages out in 24 hours.

I work in a place that decorates glassware for Fanatics.com and that was a huge issue for them. Our processing system does not let us package an item without printing a shipping label. We work 24-7 but fed ex does not pick up on weekends for us, and if we deco a glass after 4pm any day it's not shipping until the next day and becomes a day late then lol. Fanatics was not having that. We have fixed the issue just within the last month.

I’m not having much luck with the royal hunter so far. I think I put too much cotton in and with dual coils it’s just too hot so far. I’ll have to try another build.

My 1st rda was the the royal hunter X for $9.99. Was /still is a great vape. I bought the regular and mini ones but didn’t like the vapes at all and gave them away.

Me neither...

Thanks for your response.

Thanks for your response.

Anytime

She explained there's been a massive influx of orders.. I can imagine! With what's been going on

Don’t they just sell flavor concentrates or juice too?

I'm sure this territory has been crossed many times on this thread but I'll be danged if I go dig it up.

I love them because the taste to me is fuller, thicker , creamier etc...
