Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

I bought one of the dolphin atopaks. What a waste of cha ching. I gifted it. No flavor at all.

Glad I didn’t get one.

Nope @FranC we are doing the adult thing and like, um securing our FINANCING for the house starting tomorrow. All I see are more things on the market and price drop price drop price drop, so I shall wait, honestly.

I am like getting advice from my patients about where it can be dangerous to live (Salem, for example, has a pretty high antisocial quotient.) I'm not asking they are just offering it up. I knew it was dark, now I have heard some hair curling stories why.

The all mutually agreed that like, "Anyplace in WV is like WAY less dangerous than Baltimore."

That's like the thing though, they view it as this big city thing although to be fair some of them have lived there for a while. But for me, East Baltimore was like the back of my hand, I just knew it would never harm me just like I KNEW I would not backhand me to the face. Some cultures are not like that for me and WV is one.

I know very, very little about Rural Appalachia poverty and like, it's all the same to me. The husband was telling me when he visited he was getting uneasy because he got that "What are you doing here stranger vibe" from some of the other drivers. So like, he was driving and *I* was the passenger and I didn't even NOTICE.

I'd be far more likely to be shot or to be like tied up in some dungeon as a .... cook which sounds unpleasant and is likely to be as unpleasant as it sounds.

But I figure it should all be chill in the end. You are either safe and protected everywhere, or you are safe and protected nowhere. I'll take the former.

DAMN, I an supposed to be in bed in 10 minutes! It's like 9 pm! You'll adjust! You'll like 4 am! It'll be great!!

I hate going to bed like a little toddler, I am sure I am ALREADY adjusting but I still hate it and 4 am and I will NEVER be friends. I'm shocked it is going as well as it is.

Yeah yeah I know poor me whine whine.

Not saying you’ll ever love 4am but it will get at least a bit easier with time.

Not being sarcastic. I have 15 flavors & need to taste & see what I like enough to

What I did before was use a single coil rda... used cheap cotton and changed the wick for each flavor. Yes, the Atopac is useless for general vaping (I agree with that)

 

[englishmick]

I’ll agree 100%. It’s useless to use if the flavor differs from your regular tanks.

Way back when I first started DIY someone suggested getting an RDA for taste testing. The Igo L was mentioned because it was really cheap, around $5. But juice really tasted different in the Igo. Think I've still got it in a box somewhere.

That’s funny cause I’m pretty sure I have one in a box somewhere too.

I mix them at a small amount and vape them. Easy. I always want to try some flavors more than others and that makes it easy as to which to mix.

Thinking of trying my orange mix. Pretty sure orange is going to be a fail with me.

I avoid sft’s where ever possible. I put most new flavors into simple mixes. There are a few that come up I feel an sft is needed.

I don't use tobacco flavorings, but River Supply does carry a variety of them. Some are also in their Clearance section, including several made by Euro Flavors. I was reading some reviews of their flavorings in general, on the Euro Flavors website...and they were favorable for the most part. The only 1 of that brand that I have though, is their White Coffee. It smells wonderful, and a drop of it on my finger tasted really good. So I'm making some eliquid with it today or tomorrow.

Please let us know how the White Coffee turns out. I saw it too and was tempted.

I bought one of those Atopak kits. I didn’t like it for flavor testing since the flavor produced doesn’t taste like it does in tanks I use. I just bought a half dozen geekvape ammit mtl rdas to test flavors. They are easy to change wicks in and you can dry burn and use the same coil.

I will admit a simple RDA is better for flavor testing (and not that hard to change wicks) The Atopac does kinda suck but it is fast and easy and I can blow through 10 SFTs very quickly. It only gives me a quick idea of the flavor and how strong it is. In the end, I do use a RDA or other tank to really see how a flavor tastes. I now have a small single coil RDA and might give up on using the Atopac even for taste tests.Just mentioned it because it was fast and easy.

This orange mix has surprised me by being pretty good. I may have a new recipe for tomorrow.

If you just blow through 10 sft’s quickly you’re not getting much idea of your flavors.

 

[vaper1960]

OK.. I concede. But, how do you all suggest doing 15 SFTs? That was the original question... (not being a smarty... actually need to do this myself... someone gave me a bunch of flavor samples)

For ease and simplicity I would recommend something like this. In between flavors use some 50/50 pg/vg to clean it (you actually vape it). https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjRl_2IybXsAhUUU80KHT2oCoUQFjACegQIBxAC&url=https://www.centralvapors.com/510-atomizer/&usg=AOvVaw288kyRbur0VFJlunj9C09B
Use this as a description. Look elsewhere for the product if you choose to go this route. I have a few somewhere in my ecig mess. It is a bridgeless 510 atty. Kinda hard to find but great for testing flavors.

I made a fresh batch of my vc2 last night. I accidentally flipped the percentages of Vanilla Custard II and Vanilla Custard V2. That was a whoops [emoji16] The flavor profile of the final blend was completely thrown out of whack.

I made a fresh batch of vc2 tonight, all is well with the world again...

I did order the flavors for Ice Cream Drowned, looking forward to trying that in a couple days.

 

[vaper1960]

I also will vape a new flavor, then vape unflavored, try another flavor, then unflavored (this works well with my drop-in coil tank) I just dump the extra in a container and call it "mutt mix" or even just waste it (thank goodness DIY is cheap anyway)

Never tried RDA You mix it at all with VG/PG

I use an RDA with an itty-bitty wick--just enough to fill the coil (I save scraps for the purpose). Poke in the wick, drip, test, pull wick, dry burn, repeat.

 

[FranC]

Good morning random folks Have you any plans today?

I understand. I had high hopes of using it for flavor testing at first. After trying it a few times I knew it wasn’t going to work for me. I can’t remember which site it was but I found the ammit mtl rdas for around $5 each so bought several and like them for testing.
