Random DIY mixing and More

I'm probably overthinking things because that's something I'm really good at doing LOL

It can be a bit intimidating the first time you do it. Be close to a sink and just rinse your hands if you get any nic on them. Getting it off quickly is the most important or just wear gloves and not worry about it...LOL

I finally have all of my supplies to move my refrigerated nicotine into Boston rounds and borosilicate for freezing. I am struggling to find a video/thread that can give me an idea of maybe some things that I might not think of. I have the nicotine I have electrical tape I have bubble wrap boxes packaging stuff I got a funnel I've got gloves got syringes and I have eye protection. I believe I need to start by bringing my 100 mg per milliliter nicotine up to room temperature. So hopefully by the time that happens I'll have a better idea of what to do. I mean I'm pouring a somewhat hazardous material into glass bottles with cone caps and then freezing them so I have a pretty good idea on what I need to do but there might be some things I haven't thought of. I know there's got to be a thread on this but most of the threads I find are encompassing way too much for me to be able to follow if anyone has a link or a video that they found useful I would appreciate it thank you

Indeed, let it come up to room temp before opening. Makes it less viscous, so easier to pour, and eliminates any chances of condensation in the nic.

Do it at the kitchen sink, so any spills are easy to deal with. Maybe on a cookie sheet, or similar, if you think you're going to be exceptionally clumsy

Funnel, like Fran says, maybe, maybe not. It does make a bigger target. At 100 mg/ml, if on the skin, just rinse. DO of course keep fingers away from eyes and mouth!

Good point. It would not be good to rub your eyes at all. That makes me shiver thinking about it.

@FranC I have NO CLUE honestly. When he is done?

I could die, I suppose. He would have to come THEN. LOL.

Growing up, I hated this sentence with a passion, "don't forget, that's your birthday present too". I should have at least got extra stuff for being born on 3 Kings day.

Growing up I had 3 older half/sisters. The middle one's birthday was Dec 27th. She hated it.

I actually have a shelf full of mixes, first time in a long time. SFT's of Quince and Quince Jelly, two rootbeers, Bronuts and Pecan Shortbread. In addition to my long-time mixes Strawberry Cheesecake/Custard/Biscuit and Lemon Cake. I'm set for a while!

Interested in the Quince and Pecan Shortbread.

Vaping my SFT of Quince. It's not sweet. It's almost dry? It's got the quince apple/pear thing going on, with a bit of the tartness. Very pleasant even as a single. I mixed it at 10%.

Just replaced a coil on my first dead minifit pod. It was fiddly because it's small, but not really that hard at all! I guess I may need to buy more minifits, because my stock of pods will last a VERY long time.

My first pod lasted over 2 months and I figured it deserved to be tossed. I'm not entirely sure I can rebuild something so small but I might try when my next pod clogs or dies.

Which Quine is that? Sounds interesting to me even though I can't taste apple.

The hardest part, for me, was getting the legs of the coils through the holes. The rest was a breeze! I used a premade coil: $1.72 Pre-Coiled Welded Wires - NR-R-NR (50-Pack) 50-pack - 32 AWG / 1.5ohm / 30*30mm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping Vapes well at 1.5 ohms.

Thanks for the link to the coils. I have a .... load of those. Will have to check them.

Thank you

Even if you don't rebuild them now, it's good to know you could rebuild them if you have to! I'm not sure I'm going to rebuild mine as they die, probably will just save them in case I need to.

I’m not supposed to remember til Monday. Hoping someone will remind me. I love my Minifit’s. First pod over 2 months and second is over one month.Not a cloud machine but puts out an amazing amount of vapor when you chain vape...LOL

I dug in the small drawer I have internal battery mods in and didn’t see it. I didn’t put anything with a battery in storage, so the aio must be “misfiled” somewhere. It’s purple, hard to miss. Also possible I PIFed it and forgot... but I recall liking it. Heading to MILs house for family lunch and Saints game. I’ll look again tomorrow in depth since it’s not where it SHOULD be

I am just scanning the last few pages here, and I happened to see this post. Might I add a few thoughts ...
There are lighter and heavier NET flavors. Virginia based tobaccos tend to be sweeter due to the natural sugars in the leaf. Burley is mild, and Cavendish is actually a process, not a type, where the stems and views are removed to make a lighter, sweeter taste. Perique is a white leaf tobacco that is grown and processed only in Louisiana, and is a little spicy. Turkish tobacco is a little bolder, and Latakia is processed (smoked and pressed) to be hearty and strong. Think English Blends for Latakia.
Cigar tobaccos, like Maduro and Connecticut Leaf, are usually drier. Criollo and Corojo are grown from Cuban seeds in Honduras and Kentucky. Again, drier than most pipe tobaccos.
And then there are various processing methods, and countless top notes (Vanilla, Cherry, Caramel) are lightly sprayed onto the tobacco to give it a distinct flavor.
Too Much Information ? Probably.
If you are looking for a pipe tobacco taste, try a mild blend of Virginia, Burley and Cavendish tobaccos with a top note flavor to start. Vendors like Heather's Heavenly Vapes and Naturally-Extracted-Tobaccos offer these.
Hangsen sells extracts that are quite popular as well, but I make my own so I can't comment on them.

I tried three of the four so far that you sent. I got stuck on the honey chocolate and hadn’t gotten around to trying the last one which is black cherry but cleaned a tank earlier and am going to try it today.

I have another 2-3 bottles too clean.

Yes, it's probably a good idea to save them just in case........

I didn’t use a funnel or electrical tape. I just bought what I think are good caps. I poured straight from the bottle into the glass and put them in a freezer I bought just for nic and keep my snus in there too.
