Random DIY mixing and More

[dennism]

Hi all

given the topic, I wanted to ask a silly question. I have the Aegis Boost and I was not advised to vape something that is not 50/50 (thickness and burning coils as the main reason)

I am terrible at stuff, but my local store only has 1 brand that makes 50/50. The question is, can I mix stuff up to reach the desired proportions? Would it be different from a pre-made juice?

if anyone could suggest potential combos from this site Premium E-Liquids from Superior Vapour that would be great. As said, I am really new to this vaping because I am quitting smoking. So many of the things that you folk find obvious are alien to me.

Thanks again!

I have the Aegis Boost, I use 30pg/70vg with no problems.

Is it the Natural Ruby Red Grapefruit by FW?

It is. I haven't mixed with grapefruit for awhile and no sfts. I do remember it as being good but sweet level I don't remember.

I have that FW Grapefruit plus INW White Grapefruit and Fa Grapefruit. FLV Pink Guava is an excellent Grapefruit.

I’m in love with that pink guava. It would be too sweet for you, but for anyone less sweet sensitive...mixed with golden pineapple it’s glorious. I use it in my pod. Simply but satisfying
I have the packing slip for my last order to input. Then, I can pull a few recipes to make for March (2wks and 30 day steepers). I have a Chefs order incoming, so I need to get busy with this pile first. I’ve been awful about buying and not getting to. Now, don’t faint, but I’m doing a sft on pur pomelo (grapefruit) since I haven’t found a ton of info on it. Hate sft, but sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet

This is kinda what I was hoping to hear... according to the shop (and they are very good guys! Always help me with stuff) the coil would only last one day if I vaped 30/70...

To the point that I was considering buying another system that allowed me to vape anything I wanted. I am in discovery mode with flavours and having 90% of the market shut down was kinda of a bummer

I concur on the sfts.

Not too sweet at all. I love the FLV Pink Guava.

I dislike sft's as well and do as few as I feel I can get away with.

Presently I have the .4ohm coil in my boost. I've ran about 60 ml of juice through it and still going strong.

If you would put your location (city, state or just country depending on what you’re comfortable sharing) it would help when you ask for advice. Laws and availability vary vastly from state to state, and country to country.

I'm going to spoiler this, don't read if you don't want to maybe cry. Copy of e-mail sent to the rescue where I got my cat.

Spoiler

Kitty, who I adopted from you in January 2007, has passed. My heart is broken. He was a big cat with a big heart and the biggest purr. He was the nicest cat to everyone, always. We handled asthma (he purred into his aerokat), and diabetes, but I lost him to intestinal lymphoma after 15 months. I am thankful that I have a wonderful vet who does palliative care and helped us make the most of the last year. When he didn't want to eat anymore, we had a morning of watching the birds at his favorite window, on his heated seat, with the window wide open. Letting him go was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but I did not want him to suffer. I miss him terribly. He was the center of my life for so long, and my house does not feel like home without him in it.

Thank you for helping him choose me all those years ago. When I am ready, I am hoping you can work your magic again to help fill the cat-shaped hole in my heart.

Thank you all for the kind words in this thread, especially the advice that it's better too early than too late. I know I did the right thing, but it isn't making it any easier right now.

I'm so very, very sorry. This is one of the hardest things.

I was afraid of that . It’s the one part of mixing I just don’t like and put off if anyway possible. I know I SHOULD, I just can’t get excited about it.

Not too sweet at all. I love the FLV Pink Guava.

I think it’s the golden pineapple that’s sweet. At least to me. But, with the pink guava it’s acceptably not syrupy yucky for some reason

Vaping stuff you know you will not be vaping again seems like a waste of time. Gotta think thru it to realize it serves an important purpose.

I am gonna have to get that pink guava flavor. I love grapefruit but I really can't have it (one of my meds) and well, I have discovered I can tolerate citruses as long as I add enough sweetness. Sounds yummy.

I made and drank my Therflu. Man, I did not have any cups so I had to use a glass to heat the water up. It really looked JUST like pee with a urine infection in it.

I still drank it,. I think/hope I have more because I don't want to go to Family dollar in my Robe (it's like 2 minutes away) and that is what it would take. LOL..

I might buy a cup though too, that I can shove in the microwave it made my Therflu experience "a little less great." They use some sort of like, antihistamine that really tweaks my receptors as if an opiate response..

I really hope I never find that antihistamine on its own, It's probably around,. But, "SW has to go to rehab for antihistamine addition.... " It sounds SO LAME I would be ashamed and have to graduate to something better and "nobody wants that." Me included.

It did allow me tor rewick and refill what needed it. I am back on the couch now,. Very tired. Sigh.

Fran, this Honduran Grapefruit is horrible. Tastes like plastic. Yuck...disappointed!

I'm gonna do sfts of the two grapefruits I used in it...FW and FA. I cannot believe this tastes like it does after smelling the FW. Wondering if that FA is wrecking it. Can't even get thru 1 ml.

Yes most probably cause the Pink Guava is a straight-up Grapefruit to my tastes. Love the stuff.

Why do you have no cups?

I know it doesn't seem like it, but putting our pets down is the last act of love we can give them.

I couldn't have said it better.
What a beautiful (and sad) story.

I'll look forward to the results of those sfts. I'll also highly recommend FLV Pink Guava.
