I think I’m all set on Z’s and quite glad I finally got some good tanks for my Nauti coils.
Mine came today (reg size, mini still shipping). It seems like there’s a big jump in af from second largest to largest. I almost wish there was one in between

I am 100% sure it’s poison ivy now. Been researching. It was delayed because this was my first reaction to it. I have a tree with a huge furry vine going up it. I didn’t touch it and I’m glad because it is definitely PI. I did pull smaller vines from the tree and it was PI as well. I’m shocked I’m not covered in this rash. I’m still seeing new rashes pop up two weeks after exposure. I’m trying to not be a wuss but I may end up going to the doctor. I need to wash everything I may have touched too.
Have you tried some benadryl to stop the inflammation? Or hydrogen peroxide (sprayed on)? Or cortisone cream helps. Wishing you quick healing!

    Happy Birthday @NolaMel !!


    And, good evening, ladies & gentlemen,

    Have organized me to send the shopping list to the vape store.
    The beginner has taken a step further in the adventure in the DIY world.
    Careful opening with 98 ingredients, now I have to learn how to calculate PG and VG weight, have another couple of weeks on me to learn this.

    Can’t wait to get the minis in person. They look pretty sharp in pics.

    Careful opening with 98 ingredients, now I have to learn how to calculate PG and VG weight, have another couple of weeks on me to learn this.

    The weights that have been floating around here for some time are:

    Nic in PG - 1.035 gm/ml
    PG - 1.038
    VG - 1.260
    Flavors in PG (will likely vary a tad? depending??) - 1.038

    A scale would be a big help

    Is it the VTA duo pf/mango? I’m interested to see what you come up with
    Yes, it’s the VT flavor.I will have to try my Mango sft’s to give me some idea of Mango taste. Hoping that will be of help because ATM I have no clue.

    Thank you so much David. Awesome!

    I have an electronic scale, I have to buy a couple of weights so I can check if it is calibrated well enough.

    I turned up the wattage. That helped. I wish the 25mm was styled like the mini. I like the “cage”

    I use the Benadryl cream and it helps briefly. I also tried ACV. Believe me, after seeing pictures on the internet, mine is a tiny tiny case of it. :shock: The place in the crook of my arm has spread into a red splotchy area, but the rest are trying to heal. The most horrible itch I’ve ever felt. It’s getting better. I’m about to strip my bed, wash the blanket on the couch, and spray my yard tools. The PI oil can last for years. I am also having that tree cut down (with fair warning to the tree cutter). The vines are all over the tree and all the way to the top.

    Look at the pics on this website. The furry vines are exactly what I have. Look at the pics on the hall of fame of people’s rashes. Omg! :shock: I feel lucky.

    Yikes! OMG I never had PI but I did have a reaction to Carolina creeper which grows in my backyard. I keep chopping it down but it survives.

    When we were kids my younger sister would get terrible rashes from poison ivy/oak. Once when our father put in in a pit and burned it she got a rash from the smoke. She actually got it in areas that can not be mentioned in this forum. I remember that she looked pink from all of the calamine lotion.

    When I was a kid I could walk through poison ivy growing on the ground here in NH. Barefooted even. As an adult, I dug up a small lilac tree and got PI. Go figure. I learned since then that allergies can come and go. I've had an off-and-on one for years with insulation.

    On another note I feel a severe sensation of sadness related to not being able to buy products online. I know I can buy from vape stores eventually but it will never be the same. 10 1/2 years of being able to purchase and now ? :(
    I’m mad and sad. But at the same time, after my last two orders this morning, I actually felt relief. This stocking just exhausted me. A feeling of finality came over me. I am excited to have that behind me so I can DIY more and look up recipes and shop my stash and learn how to use all this stuff. I want to rotate gear. All my time was taken up by shopping.
