    Morning, all, and happy Sunday.

    Summer continues, and yes, "we" did set high temp records in a lot of places yesterday, maybe a tad cooler today. No snow. :) Alas, also no rain, at least not before NEXT weekend...





    As Fran does, I premix my "base" of nic, PG and VG, with the nic and (for me) the VG just slightly higher than I want my final mix to be. The flavors / aromas are usually in PG, so will bring that up a hair and the nic down a hair.

    Mixing by weight, I often just drip the flavors into the final bottle, per the recipe. Top off with the premix, cap, shake and wait or shake and vape, depending. Doesn't get much easier :)

    Actually, the second frame is more like when somebody slips you decaf...
    Yes, I forgot to mention I mix by weight as you do. I love my scale.

    So do you prefer FA Pom over TFA Pom? I just have TFAs version.
    I only have the FA Pomegranate.

    HIC's note on FA Pomegranate...

    Like fresh pomegranate, this is both sweet and tart, with a hint of the bitterness of the actual fruit. This is a very authentic flavor that will stand out in most recipes. It blends well with all the dark fruit and berry flavors. Orange makes a good sweetener. Lime and Coconut contrast well. FA’s version has a realistic bitter note that’s missing in TFA’s sweeter pomegranate flavor. The two are interchangeable in most recipes.


    ETA: FA pom is strong. You don't much at all.

    Right now the only one I have is Israel coffee from Yaliq
    If you really want to make a run at a good coffee I would suggest picking up FA Espresso, FA Cappuccino and Cap. Cup O Joe. I can only go by personal experience. FA Fresh Cream would be good to get. My new fav is FA Milk that can’t be bought in the US.

    Somewhere between here and there
    Hiya Master e-liquid mixoligists.

    Had a couple of questions i could use some help with.

    If all goes well by the end of the month i am getting a MAJOR translating job (Scottish wants to invest in an apartment building in the town i live,so i wil be translating the whole operation).
    After putting money aside in the piggy bank for the day my ol' rusty Peugeot dies on me i wanted to get started on some basic DIY.

    Just tired of vaping the same aroma or trying another one and having to be stuck with it until it runs out.

    I made a list of what i would need and that is already done,been reading some guides and i noticed some discrepencies.

    Take this guide for example:

    DIY E Liquid Mixing - Beginners Guide | Ecigclick

    Step 3 and step 4 tells you add the aroma ONLY to the PG,shake and then add that to the VG.

    Other guides i have read make no mention of that,so which is the correct way?
    Add aroma to PG,mix and then add that to the VG or just add aroma to the PG/VG?

    2nd question i remember someone a while back give me the link to a good UK based website where they had a ton of aroma flavors to choose from.
    Interested specially in ''pure'' one flavor only 10ml bottles of aroma,tried looking for it but haven't been able to fimd it.

    That's about it,thanks in advance for the replies :)



    To be honest i am not a fan of baseball nor soccer even thou in Spain it's huge,just sports in general but i do love sport related movies.
    My first 3 sport related movies all have Kevin Costner as main protagonist and 2 of them about baseball,Field of dreams and For Love of the Game,then Tin Cup (about golf) and the 4th has to be Rudy,just love that movie ;)

    I’m not sure if someone told me to do it like this but I always add flavors, pg, vg, and nic last if I’m not using a premixed base.

    Here's an interesting thing...
    I was mail stalking and notice said delivered.
    Went outside and there was a blue Amazon truck. I asked the guy if he was delivering mail and he said yes, that they were doing catch up deliveries.

    so glad you posted this I was so darn confused when Amazon delivered my order from Fruit Of The Loom. :yawn: USPS always delivered it in the past.

    Most people use 5ml bottles without using nicotine to try new flavors in... its less expensive that way..

    Also, an RDA is likewise helpful for trying out new flavors... this way your not having to fill a whole tank..

    Good tip on the RDA,yeah was thinking the same.
    Will probably just get a cheap one and use that to try new flavors.
    Did have a WASP RDA and a Berserker RDA when i decided to give dripping a chance but after getting tired of drippity drip all the time i just gave them away to newbies that wanted to give vaping a try.

    I always use nicotine when trying new flavors. They just taste flat to me with no nic.

    I will probably go the easiest way possible for my first tries.

    Get one of those packs that have the PG/VG mixed up with the nico kits but instead of just adding the 30mls of aroma i will divide the bottled PG/VG in 3 little bottles then add 3 different 10ml aromas and i am set.
    For me it just seems the easiest way to go about it for now,just want to go thru as many different aromas as possible so i know which ones i like or dislike.

    Also have to get one of those cooling liquids to make the e-liquid fresh (like the menthols i use to smoke back in the day),think it won't take to many tries since i know i will steer clear of anything that is sweet.

    Guess it's a matter of preference and taste but after a couple of puffs i seriously hate anything that tastes like pastry.

    Remember a couple weeks ago,forgot to lock my mod so the watts went way up and i burned my cotton.
    Was in town and i didn't have my supplies with me so i went by my friends shop and he put in fresh cotton in,also forgot my e-liquid bottle in the car so he used some of his.

    Oh god!! An overly sweet monstruosity,churro flavored with a dash of chocolate...took me 3 puffs to just turn the mod off and wait till i got home to rinse the tank and get rid of that aroma.

    I gotta agree with you there. I don't like sweet either.
