Random DIY mixing and More

[*RJ*]

Morning all, happy hump day

Rain moving in for the day, so, yeah, break time



Ah, with that extra info, while cleaning the 510 won't hurt, probably not the problem. Since it happens when changing the battery... it might be the battery positive pin deep inside the mod is sticking... try using, say, the eraser end of a pencil to "pump" it, making sure it actually does move. And, while there should be no leaking inside, cleaning that with the alcohol swab may help. Just give it 10 minutes to evaporate out before putting a battery back in!



I see something like this in that email...

I'll try cleaning and pressing the inside post trick soon.

And nope...the email I got was more of the same crap I always get. Hard to explain without giving details I'm not willing to post, but in my eyes it's a roundabout diss and it ...... me off. I think he was trying to be helpful, but no boss, nobody can do what I do. They all know how I feel now. Just in the last week I've gotten two comments from my customers (copied to my boss). One said I was a rock star, and the other said she had never seen the things I do in better shape in her entire career at our company. Makes me happy.

My son went to get the garbage can from the road and the mail yesterday. He came back in and said our mailbox numbers are peeling off. I just can't deal with it right now.

After work I think I'm going to make a new recipe. I did the "what can I make" trick and sorted by highest ratings. I've made a lot of them already but the one I want to make tonight is TOC's Sweet Almond Milk.

My son gets his first covid vaccination next Tuesday. I hope he doesn't get too sick from it since I had to talk him into getting it in the first place.

They had a flash sale about a month ago and with the code they were about $15. I got two but the one turns off and on at random, I think I need to send it in.

I got in on that sale also and picked up two more Pico Squeeze 2's. I had the same problem of random on/off with my daily driver and I resolved my issue by cleaning the threads on the battery cap with a wire brush and wipe down. Also took a pink pencil eraser and cleaned the little bump inside the battery cap. I'm running AF on that unit so I think your problem may be the battery connection. Hope this helps.

I never really liked those. I’ve got a ton of coils on hand so I’m not too worried about it. It would be a good deal for someone that liked them.

I don't have a ton (about 25 boxes of .8 zcoils), but I have enough for me. I don't have any interest in the .48 coils either. But it is a good deal for some.

That is a real nice feature on the site. I like the drop down box that says "allow missing flavors". Then I can find recipes that I might be missing 1 or 2 flavors from. But often times I will have decent subs for the flavors.

mine does it even without the battery and plugged into a usb. only once in a while, but it will probably only get worse.

Didn't know it did the same with just USB power. IIRC the only other thing that I've heard with the pico squeeze 2 was that sometimes the Torx screws on the top by the 510 have ground issues. Just unscrew and tighten with I believe is a T5. Worth a shot....

I didn’t realize that.

Me either but I didn't believe it was a box so I checked.

Sometimes when I put a new battery in it works great. Other times I get no connection and I take it out and put it back in a few times before it works. Sometimes the connection happens but when I press the button the wattages go crazy (it could be seconds but I think it’s wattage and even if it is seconds the numbers are up and down and all around). And showing varying seconds or wattage is not normal.

I looked at the battery cap and could see a tiny bit of foreign matter in one of the grooves. I took my eraser and scrubbed it down until clean. It seems to be working...for now. I’ll try the alcohol swab in a bit.

That never happened to me with a Solo but it has several times with Picos. The battery contacts looked clean or had a very small amount of discoloring. Cleaned with an eraser and alcohol it started working. Same with the threads on the battery cap. Whatever caused it wasn't obviously visible. With the different position of the battery cap it must be easier for stuff to get into the Pico, but maybe something could get into the Solo if it was on the battery or the cap.

I've considered a mango cannoli and a mango croissant but I've settled on a Mango Wafer. Need to work on the recipe now.

Changed my mind and decided to rinse out my bottles and stuff that was soaking. I seem to have more luck with a recipes if I wait for ideas. If not forthcoming then I will look. I have a couple coffee remixes that are more important ATM. I will put them off for a bit and go sit in the sun.

I've been enjoying most excellent standalone FW Hazelnut Cream 10% Max VG with 2-3% DW
I'll try your recipe to compare. Thanks

Are you talking about FW Creamy Hazelnut? Or maybe WF Hazelnut and Cream?

Hey all,

Having a good day? I hope so! Supposed to be 88 today, pretty nice. Still playing Outriders with my SIL and we have a lot of fun. Need to mix but am just using up juices I mixed but never used.

PG sensitive? I can only tolerate about 10% well. Under 20% if I don't vape too much.

I am wondering if it’s a pg sensitivity or maybe even a sensitivity to a certain type of Vg or pg. I am also wondering if there have been small signs over the last 6 months that I just brushed off. I had experienced a few headaches after vaping heavy (normal for me but heavy vaping...lol) I also experienced a couple other things as well. I think I have slowly been experiencing sensitivity to something and finally my body just cannot take anymore of it because of overload. Either way I love vaping and always will! lol Even if I don’t ever figure it out or if I find that I cannot vape anymore I will always be a supporter I truly feel it saved my life and is the only reason I was able to quit smoking cigarettes! I can take a puff here and there and if I don’t inhale it! Imagine how long my supplies will last lol

Try unflavored 100% PG-free for a day. It's boring but not bad.
I did that and within 24 hours my skin issue disappeared.
I added more flavoring to the unflavored every day and settled on 10% as no problem.
It starts creeping back if I average more than 15% so 10-ish is my happy place.

I definitely will when I start the experiments!! It will be the first one I do thanks!

Good afternoon. I’m finally starting to feel better. Still a little pressure in my head but the body aches have subsided. I’m actually thinking about looking at some recipes and figuring out what I ordered these new flavors for. Thinking about mixing a sample of the ry4 cream recipe I like but using the FLV ry4 I just got instead of holy ry4. Just not sure what percentage to use.

I’m glad to hear you are feeling better! Good luck with your recipe!! It sounds good!

At 68 in the shade it got too hot to sit in the sun. I washed out my Sceptre pod and gave it a fresh coil. Filled with my white coffee and cream. The bottle of White coffee and the bottles of my Irish cream coffee are both empty so I need to mix the coffees.
