So, continuing the saga,,,
Tomorrow will be one week since my last analog.
I do at times feel kinda strange, but it's all withdraw.
However, things do taste better now than they did 2 days ago.
Smell is getting better.
eJuice is not like it was, with the mouth sensation and tastes better.
I bought a 6ml of some RY4 24mg VG, way too harsh and too much Nic (I think that is where the harsh is coming from.
So I cut it down with 3ml PG, 2ml VG, 1ml RY4 Double and one single drop of Bavarian Creme
Holy smokes is that good. That one drop just gives it that sweet kick. and should be right around 13mg or so. Still a little harsh, but vapable.
And feeling a lot better.
I have not made any juice yet as I want to test the Nic Juice (sitting in the freezer waiting for the test kit) before I use it.
I am feeling a bit sad now though as my buying of all this stuff was fun, but I am done for a while.
The total is roughly (not including shipping and possible taxes) about $320 or so.
I know this may be a bit sloppy, but here is the complete item list of all the things I have bought in the last week.
I am excluding Vendors Names cause this is not about endorsing any vendors.
This includes the total of 9 Vendors, which I have so far received everything in perfect condition from all of them. And in a timely manner.
Some of you and others who are savvy will probably be able to figure out who some of the items come from.
Anyway, I did over buy on a couple of things, namely the Kanger T3's, not sure why I did buy that many
But I figure I can give them away to someone I am trying to convert if I need to.
I also made a couple of mistakes on some of the items, but that's ok. I learned, and they aren't huge mistakes.
Namely, getting the Nic Juice in 100% PG.
This makes it an issue due to the fact that, I have found my target mix is approx 20PG/80VG at about 12mg.
Using The eJuiceMeUp Calc and learning by just playing with numbers gets thrown off with 100% PG or VG
So I will have to remix to a new base, which is fine. I will need to take that over to the diy area and confirm my calculations.
I am also playing with nic free juice and flavorings.
Another mistake I mad was not waiting and doing more searching on the Kanthal wire,
I found it dirt cheap (50ft) which is why it is listed twice below.
I also did not need the 18 gauge needle, meant to get larger and longer blunt tips.
I should be set (besides batteries, juice and possible tanks) for the better part of a year.
Note: Yes, i do know what I am doing when it comes to the DIY stuff.
For any new people reading this......
********A note on DIY eJuice. I have a lot to learn still.
Do not take this stuff lightly.
Read Every Single Sticky here
DIY E-Liquid
Read all of them, and all of each, do not skip this. You may regret it later.
Not all flavorings are suited for vaping,
know your ingredients and know your source.
If you aren't sure, even from a vendor, look up the ingredients and don't buy it if you aren't sure.
There is a list on this forum somewhere i that I can't find now that lists some ingredients you should be wary of.
Hopefully, a some one can find and post that link here.
Head all warnings.
If you are not comfortable with Math, percentages and ratios,
then even the calcs will not help you, stick with buying premixed juices.
None of this can be stressed enough.
The following 2 links are probably the most important of all of them...
