@Redbird11 , I had tried the melon donut recipe at a month and was kind of iffy on it. Just tried it again on a fresh coil (mixed 6/18). A little more rest did it good… it’s definitely different, but tasty. I’d mix it again for an occasional tankful.

I sure hope they don't get a bee in their bonnet and tell you it's due to vaping.
We just had our main electrical panel (for the whole house) replaced. The electrician saw me vaping, told him I quit smoking (again) and he said something about "that's also very dangerous"... I didn't even respond (not his business and I really didn't want to get into that again) I feel like we will never get over the "EVALI" thing and people still believe vaping will kill you. It's really a waste of time explaining the whole thing.

@hittman - After smoking 1-1 1/2 PAD of ultra lights for 42+ years....I got off smoking using just 6mg eliquids and a total of 5mL at the most, of 11mg. If your daughter wasn't a smoker...she shouldn't be having nic cravings and/or withdrawl from the short time she used the 50mg, should she? Why not make her some different 3mg eliquid and adjust the PG up somewhat, to give her a little more throat hit instead of higher nic? Do you think she'd even know the difference between 3mg and 6mg then?

I agree about the more it steeps the better it is. I have a bottle that is about 1.5 months old that tastes better to me. I also bumped up the cantaloupe a bit this time. I think I did 5.5% instead of the original 4.5%.

I probably would not consider this an everyday vape, but I can see me mixing it up every couple of months.

I can see that. Now the cantaloupe is pretty mellow, but it lets the donut come through better. I’ll mix another bottle and stick it in for a 2 month steep. I won’t need it before then. I was pleasantly surprised at its change. I had stuck it in the vape it because there’s nothing else box (not bad, just not favs)

I do too. I like raspberry.
It's odd... I like blackberry (and boysenberry, blueberry) so didn't actually try a raspberry. Now I have SSA raspberry syrup (a bit sweet but very bright) and love it. Next on my list to try is huckleberry (oh, and I do really like Acai berry) Seem to be strawberry blind (so odd because IRL I love them... especially jam)

I would be interested in mixing something up with just the donut base and maybe a different fruit.

Gamma globulin? Are you trying to become the Hulk?
Lol....it's a substance made by your immune system which sadly I haven't got enough of since my cancer treatment...I wish it would turn me into the Hulk... it'd be quite useful :lol: as long as I didn't turn green :D

My son came home from work at lunch time yesterday, something he never does, and asked what's the best disposable to buy as his just died on him. I guess since had some dental work done a few weeks ago he has been trying hard to quit smoking with vaping and didn't come to me about it because he is adamant about using a disposable at work and in the past I dismissed disposables and set him up with external battery mods. He reasons he works in temperature extremes on super heated roofs, 114F yesterday, and is afraid of having a big battery in extreme heat, can not fuss with anything at work, likes the high 50 mg nic so he doesn't feel the need to use it much and wants the smallest unit possible.

I honestly have no idea about disposables but said what ever be went with always have 2 on him so if one dies he has another. I also suggested while not working he uses bigger external battery mods and save the disposables for work only.

He did let me set him up with my new Aspire Mulus for non-work hours, he agreed to it because it's simple and compact like a billet box, but I have no idea about the disposables? I'm also not sure what level of nic I should mix up for him to start? I don't feel like my usual 3mg is going to cut it for him at all, he loved my pina colada but said it was like vaping flavored air.
Any suggestions, direction would be welcome please. I'm super excited, been trying for years to help him quit. This is the first time he seems serious about it.
Defo 18mg of freebase NIC but I can't help with the disposables as I just have no idea these days. Can't you persuade him that they both have batteries in them and he's possibly got more chance of a problem with an internal battery??

I started 10 years ago at 70pg/30VG and stayed there :) 10 years ago that was pretty much the norm
I always mix max VG which comes out to 60-70/40-30 depending on the flavour quantity. I think he'll appreciate the thicker clouds as it's more like smoking :)

The rest of my spending money was burning a hole in my pocket I guess. Had to use that ft code. Another 5ml Dvarw, 2 more 5ml glass sections,2 pkgs of inserts and 2 peak chimneys. So now I have a bunch of Dvarw stuff coming from ft.
That should increase your Dvarw base :)
