Random DIY mixing and More

[DavidOck]

Glad you like it! I find it a very nice - and simple! - recipe, finds its optimum after just a couple days, and stays there for a long time. I usually mix it in large batches, since it's pretty shelf stable. And have on occasion added some other fruit to the mix for a change of pace. (Although, depending on the fruit, that might move it into the too sweet range for you )

Are you forgetting my Rhubarb

 

[FranC]

Actually just.5% Rhubarb would be enough to knock down that little bit of sweetness without actually tasting it. Maybe I'll try that next time.

 

[DavidOck]

That would work

When I get home tonight, I'll try pulling it with pliers or maybe knock it out from the top with the drip tip off.

How did you manage a build in there if you couldn't get the top off?

@hittman - On my CoV royal hunter RDAs...I took off the drip tip and inner screen thingy. Then poked my thumb in there and pushed down on the posts. Wasn't really easy the first time doing it, but after that it came off easier.

 

[FranC]

That would work

I think I'll actually add that to my existing mix and try it again in a couple of days. Sometimes mixes that are just a wee bit too sweet really screw up my tastebuds.

While my Rhubarb melds with the Honey Dragon Tea I'm trying my Granola Crunch recipe mixed with Rhubarb instead of cranberry. I like it. I went with less than half a tank full so I can move on with trying these mixes.

 

[FranC]

Thinking my Granola Crunch would be tastier with a bit of strawberry to complement the rhubarb I fixed that one also.

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.

Same happened to me with my order from them. Ordered Friday, nothing but label printed until yesterday. But this am, USPS tracking showed out for delivery to me today. I just checked, and it shows delivered. Maybe the guy that does their pickups is lousy at scanning everything in or something.

In the video by mikevapes that I watched, he showed the inner airflow ring coming off. Mine doesn't want to so the inner and outer ring are stuck together. I can pull it off as one piece and do the build and put it back on but haven't been able to get the inner airflow ring to come off and is almost impossible to turn to adjust the airflow.

I watched the Mikevapes review. He said you couldn't do a single build but I did, lol.
So, sounds like you are saying you can't get the drip tip top part to come out? There were two versions, I believe. One screws off and the other one pops off.

If you look at the video at about 3:47, you'll see him take the outer sleeve off. I haven't been able to do that. I also noticed later in the video that his outer ring turns very easily to adjust the airflow.

I'm buying just nic salt base, but they sell freebase, flavorings, diy supplies, and regular premade juice. I'm sure after all this banning hoopla started, people were clamoring to buy nic base. I usually buy my flavorings from BCF. Never have bought flavorings from NR, but I know people do and like to go through them.

I originally bought my DIY kit and flavors from NR but being on the west coast and ordering flavors and mic that had to be ground shipped took forever so I started getting most of my products closer to the east coast. Especially in warm weather I was worried about nic. Tbh I can’t tell the difference between high end nic and the less expensive stuff from Heartland. Glad my palate isn’t very discerning lol!!

 

[Fidola13]

One thing with NR flavorings, they sell 15ml bottles instead of 10ml. Some of it is as cheap or cheaper than 10mls from other places. I'm referring to the main brands like TFA, CAP, etc. I haven't messed with their house line of flavorings.
I like having the extra mls but some would prefer less for a sample, I guess. And some of them seem pricier, FlavourArt in particular, but I have not directly compared price per quantity from site to site.
NR also does not have quite as complete a selection as Bull City. Pretty good though. No VTA.

BCF has been my main vendor for awhile now plus great customer service. Wish they sold nic tho.

 

[Fidola13]

I use NicRiver for flavourings - mainly as I'm hooked on some Purilum flavours. They also have cheap international shipping, compared to other places.

Chef's flavours are also a good resource for us international buyers

I’ve only tried their Purilum raspberry. Wasn’t overwhelmed as I had hoped so whatever BCF carries is fine plus I really like the VT line of flavors.

 

[Fidola13]

I really don’t think I’m going to even mess with mine.Gonna put them out in garage storage for now. Too small and too fiddley for me

All my Royal Hunters except the X which is flavorful are in a pif box. Just don’t know who or where to pif!!

 

[Fidola13]

I actually like the RH minis. Well, more than I like most RDA's which is little cause I hate rebuilding.

I just kept getting hot spit back from them. Too small for my big mouth I guess lol!!

I got a couple of those cheap Kamry K100s. Am I right in thinking I can use them with any 510 atty? If they only work with the cartomizers they come with, they're going to be living at the very bottom of the stash pile.
