Random DIY mixing and More

[*RJ*]

The .3 z coil is a really nice rdl on the kroma z.

The only gear I’ll consider buying at this point is another fireluke with more coils. I guess I better make up my mind soon and go ahead and order. Sigh. Or just be happy with what I’ve already got. I’m so tired of spending money on vaping.

Got a bee in my bonnet today. Started feeling like I have too many setups and recipes. Tired of having my desk covered with vape gear and bottles and all the rest. Started a list. There are seven juices I don't want to give up. Now I'm trying to decide which mods and tanks to use.

The other thing I did was look at the flavor manufacturers. Five of the mixes I want to keep use all TFA flavors. That's good because they will be available after the vape bans. I've bought from TFA directly before. There's a couple of OSDIY one-shots I would miss. OSDIY seem to be doing it right as far as avoiding the axe but I'll just keep my fingers crossed on that one.

Don't know if it will stick. One time last year I got down to 6 setups without any intention to do it. Just stopped filling some tanks up. After a few weeks I started them all up again. But for a while now I've been getting impatient with the amount of time and space vaping takes up.

I relate to this so much. It can be a time sucker. Sometimes it’s fun, and sometimes it’s just another chore.

I counted my stash of nic and I do in fact have 10.5 liters plus a handful of 50 and 100 ml bottles from a liter I broke down. I put 500ml in these clear bottles I got from River supply. Each one is 250ml just to see how it ages. I don’t open my mini freezer very often so am not worried about light getting to them.

May I suggest a quick straw poll for Z and Sceptre users? Which coils do you prefer? Z or S? Just curious. Thanks for your answers.

Z definitely. But that’s really just an af preference. I do like the sceptre, even though it’s just a hair tight on autodraw

I am so glad my new bottles came in a box with cardboard separators. 24 bottles will be going to Mom’s freezer in that box. I can’t wait to get my nic finished once and for all. I left two liters in their original packaging as they don’t take up much room cause I ran out of room. But it all needs to be in glass...and out of my freezer. I can’t wait.

Finding a vaccine is so difficult in Alabama that they are running stories of people who run Facebook groups hooking people up with vaccines. Some even go pick up the elderly to take them to get the shot. Consider yourself lucky you got one so easily. I’ll be glad when my son gets his...it’ll probably be a while though unless his college can get them.

If you have a Walgreens or CVS close to your house, have him go sign up for the left over/ unclaimed vaccines. He’d have to go right before the pharmacy closes for the day. My friend and her son were able to get one that way in Trussville. One was because someone didn’t show up, the other they had a full extra dose in a vial. They had to be able to get there within 15 minutes.

I never use the auto draw.

Yep...I found the recipe from Wayne Walker...same as the original already in your blog (I think). I just added the BC on top.


BRONUTS

• CAP Chocolate Glazed Donut - 7%
• FA Joy - 0.75%
• FW Yellow Cake - 1%
• INW Biscuit - 0.75%
• Recommended at 70 VG// 30 PG
• NO steep required: Shake and Vape Certified
• This recipe may contain DA/AP use at your own discretion
• Best at 450 degrees and higher

450* and higher? I don’t do TC... is he saying at a higher wattage is better flavor than mtl?

You’re just not lazy enough I guess

No effort to press button.....LOL

None close to us. The closest giving shots would probably take us 25 minutes to drive there. We live in the country. Boonies. He’ll get his soon enough. I’m hoping his college will do it soon.

I have no idea. I don’t do TC. It’s good though.

YIKES. three of my fav FLV's are on there. Why do they have to go make a dumb list like this and scare people

This list is overdone and unnecessarily alarming. But I guess it's a good info for people who are trying to avoid anything even remotely and/or potentially harmful. I avoid diketones, sucralose, fructose and such, and I'm aware of the menthol/mint debate (I still like my minty vapes though); Kurt did warn us a long time ago about possible lung irritants like cinnamaldehyde, eugenol (clove, nutmeg), but I don't like those, so I'm OK. But citric acid??? Why? Vermont vapor used citric acid in their nic, NN adds citric acid as a preservative in their V3. Of course, if one is concerned about nicotine salts in general, I'm not, maybe it's OK to post a caution?

I wondered if it would work at a low wattage. Some juices shine at one end of the wattage spectrum and suck at the other end.

Moderna announced their booster is going to trial today.

Go Moderna!

I vape around 0.2 ohm at 30 to 35 watts. It’s good to me at that range. I very rarely move those settings on my mesh strips.

Can’t answer that. Z’s great in tanks, biip,etc. Sceptre great in pod.

I agree. But I do like my 1.2Ω S coils in the Sensis a lot!

Z for sure

Z definitely. But that’s really just an af preference. I do like the sceptre, even though it’s just a hair tight on autodraw

Thanks. I have a feeling that you too like a bit moar air than I do.

I really like them both. I love my Sceptres for the form factor and portability. Zs are more for at-home leisurely vape.

And I never do autodraw. Too weak for me.

Still playing with the Sensis and 1.2 coil.

10 watts, airflow halfway open is my sweet spot. FWIW.

Exactly where mine is. It does have a nice hand feel.
