    Somewhere between here and there
    After much research and YouTube's, I have almost decided that I do not have enough sense to do sub-ohms. Is it a bad idea for someone who has only gone up to 8 watts (my legend only goes to 15 watts) to get a mod that goes up to 100 watts? Now be honest, I can take it. View attachment 975407

    I tried to be adventurous once many years ago with a Vivi Nova on a higher watt. I never will forget the fogged-up crack tank or the awful smell.

    Just because a mod goes up to 100 doesn’t mean you have to turn it up high.

    I really liked this one. I don’t know if I posted it.

    Thank you, good to hear that has held up well!
    I plan to mix this in my first session with the new bottles.
    It is in this thread (somewhere!) as I did copy it down, all the percentages are the same.

    SMT also posted a variant around then as well, though I think it was still a work in progress-

    JF Biscuit 1.5%
    FA Vanilla Cookie 0.65%
    SSA Clotted Cream 1.35%
    FA Blood Orange 3.5%
    FA Royal Orange 1.5%

    Also planning to mix dennism's Apple Pie which I saved around that time as well.

    If I remember correctly, ripe strawberry and sweet strawberry play well together

    Apologies for tagging you again, but do you happen to recall the ratios with these?

    Was looking through elr notes on Strawberry, Ripe and found a couple.
    One was 2:1 Ripe to Sweet.

    Confused a bit on another, said to mix both at 3% and then use 3% - 4% in your recipe. Is this like a stone then?
    I'm still a bit unsure how to make a stone (mix with base/VG/PG or just pure concentrates combined and use % of that).

    I know you have plenty of other things to do, especially on a holiday weekend, so I am truly grateful for any help you are able to offer!

    I’ve pretty much always used lower watts. I have tried sub ohm vaping and I don’t like it. Guess it’s too different from what I’m used to.

    Good morning random folks :) Have you any plans today?

    No real holiday plans, just taking it easy.
    Maybe try some mixing later today or tomorrow.

    Still keeping an eye on it, but it looks like my RBA build in the Big Baby Beast is holding up - no puddles!

    Morning, mixers.

    Plan is to stay inside, away from the rain )

    After much research and YouTube's, I have almost decided that I do not have enough sense to do sub-ohms. Is it a bad idea for someone who has only gone up to 8 watts (my legend only goes to 15 watts) to get a mod that goes up to 100 watts? Now be honest, I can take it.

    Nope, not bad at all. As said, you don't have to go there. Many of my mods will go to 75 or 100, but I don't. And, in not running it near max, it may help with device longevity. Heck, if you always drive your car at "red line", that engine isn't going to last a long time!

    I might mix that one to try.

    I have a Smok Baby Beast Brother. Had it for years. Never used it and not sure where it came from.

    I would go with the 2-1 ratio. As far as the stone, that’s just mixing the flavors together in a separate bottle then using that combination at a certain percentage. I mix stones of a couple recipes and keep a strawberry trinity stone on hand. There are different versions of the trinity that I’ve seen.

    Do what works for you. That’s all that counts. I swore I’d never sub ohm vape and thought I’d never go below 24mg. Then here I am running almost exclusively sub ohm at either 6 or 3mg.

    The plan is to smoke a pork shoulder and some ribs. I just got the charcoal started and ready then it started sprinkling. It’s not supposed to last though. Only for maybe an hour.

    True, and I do. Just try other things as the whim hits me.

    Me either. I’m on a flavor ordering freeze right now.
    Yeah,me too. Still got NomNomz coming.

    My swag is taking forever. It landed it Nashua, NH and only made it to the next city of Manchester and they are side by side, Hopefully it will get to the local po tomorrow.
