Okay..going to toot my own horn (not what you think Pitt...if I could actually "toot my own horn" I would probably never leave the house".
No...what I'm talking about is my homemade slurry...my very own diy.
This afternoon my tank went empty..went to fill it with "my" stuff, but instead pulled out a bottle of "pro juice" that i paid roughly $6 for 10ml.
Now..my stuff isn't ever going to win any awards or cause people to line up for a chance to buy some, but have to say that I'm no more impressed with this stuff as I am with my own.
To be fair, a vaping co-worker just thinks my stuff is meh (he is also a big Bluemist fan) but at the end of the day...I'm not making it for him, I'm making it for me and I'm pretty pleased just a few weeks into diy.

I'm sure there's a moral to the story thingy I should reference here..just can't come up with it. In fact all I can think about right now is "tooting my own horn". Is that wrong?

I'm glad you cut me off before I went straight to posting..*whew* that was close, lol!

Ya know, I have had a few people try my mixes (mind you, with the exception of Jen, they are pretty new to this) and thought it was great stuff. Jen even likes most of the straight tobacco mixes, and she can't stand many of my vendor tobaccos. Now I have also made some that I believe would normally go in the garbage, but since I made them, they will be vaped somehow.

I'm glad that you are doing good with the DIY! Think of it this way too..if you are pleasing yourself (please refrain, as I well) with your mixes, think about what will happen down the road a bit with them..as you pick up some tricks of the trade! I keep trying to find some new info or "secrets" to some of it, but only have uncovered "public info" as of yet. Keep it up (please refrain, as I will) man!

Lol...you kill me Pitt. Kinda remind me of me when I was your age...except for the homliness and veal thing. See what you have to look forward to when you get older....you'll be me:D

So far I've just played with it. Haven't taken note 1, but about to get serious.

Don't know how much nic you bought..but down the road we might think about a bulk buy...damn Fda..it may be coming and if so I want to stock a bit.

I have been taking some notes on everything I do..kind of my style anyway..but it keeps me in line.

Well, nearest I can tell..It would be an honor to be just like you in 20 years!

I only grabbed 250ml for the moment. Jen and I were actually talking about that yesterday. I said if I would ever get word of a nic ban, I would take $5,000, at least, and buy up whatever I could find. I wouldn't mind a 50 gal drum of it, personally!

It would be my honor if you turned out just like me:) despite of what others say.

That's cool to know that you have a nic paranoia also....let's keep an eye out and if/when it happens maybe we can be proactive.

*** Keggers a pretty cool guy...I think he "likes me"...I'm so excited***

Hey kegger...jump in/deny/retaliate...tell me your midgets name...lol...

I check around about once a week for any sorta FDA or other type news regarding e-cigs and whatnot, so 4 eyes should be even better!

Lol..You know, I have noticed a bit of flirtation towards you..at first I thought he was just being nice, cause he is a bit new around here..buuut it may be a tad more then that. It sounds like puppy love to me!

So how come everybody around here has to have a midget, except you?? Or has your days of presenting yourself to a midget passed?

Might have to rely on you for "notes and tracking"...has never been my strong suit. I'm quite capable of it....and I'm not lazy...apparently(according to my wife) I'm just a big ol' dumbass. Now initially I would like to argue the point...but she has known me for a very long time and is probably(without a doubt) spot on.

Naw...I'm about to get serious about it....eyeballin the 555 and vfc...not to mention (again) the berries...

Side note...there use to be a guy on here from Omaha that was planning on starting a business...mainly juice but he also posted renderings of a mod...but anyway...haven't seen him here forever...I know his handle...he apparently knew "diy"...if he was still working on opening a shop I would never ask for pointers...but if that has fallen by the wayside perhaps he would be willing to throw out a pointer or two.

So who's berries are you eyeballin'? lol, you handed that to me!

I have a list of tobacco bases, or additives, that give tobaccos certain characteristics..might be a good starting point. From what I have read, it's all about the additives. Whether it be to control the PH by use of acids, buffers or what have you and the enhancing and muting acids and notes. Gonna order some of this stuff and rack my brain with them. My ex girlfriends grandparents own James Arthur Vineyards and I wouldn't mind getting a handle on all the wine making crap cause a lot of it correlates to e-liquid. But hell, if a fellow Nebraskan is willing to share some secrets..by all means! Just have to lock em in a safe, learn em and then unleash them to the unsuspecting public!

Lol...you're right...not very pc...

Figured out how I stupid posted....
Daughter just made me check my blood sugar...mystery solved..lol..
Not really lol...you would think I would have a better handle on it after all these years...
Use to wonder how my dad couldn't feel it coming on and would get in the shape he would..

On the bright side...my daughter is bringing me popsicles left and right...that's a win.

I appologize for all stupidity again tonight...on the bright side I'm on my third popsicle...which is a treat for me.
