not to point fingers but I've told that I'm a heck of a guy...shower up at least once a day and a Hawkeye fan so........................lol.

who knows why.....I'm sure someone else will get bored enough to start jawing with us.

What are the flavors on your shopping list? I need to sit down and get serious about diy. At the very least I need to mix up a few of 1 flavor at varying flavor ranges and find the sweet spot. 2.5% seems pretty weak.

Man, I gotta stop wearing womens deodorant! Tha..that was a joke!
Lets see, in no particular order I have; vanilla, chocolate, island tobacco, ry4, real cig, B&M, menthol, blackberry , mandarin, hazlenut, coffee, apricot, blueberry, honey, cured, dunhill, 555, apple, mango, pineapple, tutti frutti, raspberry, almond, caramel, caramel candy, coconut, lemon, lime, watermelon, grape, melon, peach, rum, virginia, desert ship, cream, strawberry, banana and cherry. I personally don't want all of these, but between my SO and the 7 other that started vaping, want to get liquids from me have spoken. I figure I can squeeze some change from them when they are in need and, at the least, break even. Suppose it will be a win/win.

The women's deoderant (and the women's underwear) is what makes you endearing to me Pitt
Sorry...couldn't help it.

Wow dude...you have an(envious)impressive shopping list. You da man. Looks like the bulk are VZ??.y next order will be with them.

From the list you put out there are a few(lots) that I can't wait to hear your thoughts on. I'm a tobacco kinda guy so the ones on your list that I'm really interested in are(in a specific order):

Island tobacco
Real cig
555
Virginia
B&m
Desert ship
Ry4
Dunhill
Hfc???

For add ons, the ones you have carted that I'm very curious about are the blackberry and the apricot.

Side note...just mixed up 9 ml of unflavored....higher nic...higher pg.

3 ml of 100mg pg nic base
4.5 ml pg
1.5 ml vg

Looking for th and cheapness. Unflavored is still technically a "flavor" right?.
In a perfect world I'll find this to be my go to, but if not i'll just continue on with the flavorings.

 

[PittBoss]

If I'm not supposed to wear them, why would they call them 'boy shorts'?
The honey, cured..blah blah blah was supposed to be honey cured, one thing lol. Got carried away evidently. It is going to be a mix of VZ and ECX. At this point there is some not available at one vendor and yada, yada..so I figure they are both pretty similar, so it couldn't hurt, eh? My SO also has asked me to consider selling some mixes to local "vendors" that have a crap selection of liquids and see if I can't get em to buy a lot. Dunno why they would, I'm almost guaranteeing that they don't sell like hot cakes as it is (hence the $10 markup) so why keep em stocked up, who knows?

Holy crap that's a lot of nic! Well for me anyways.. But yes, unflavoured is still a flavour just as black is colourless, yet a colour none the less..it's a bafflement! I tried straight VG but it seems to have to much sweetness for me.

 

[hawkizefan]

Usually 36 nic but 25 is fine also. Don't think my addiction is nic..lol.

Well...the "great unflavored" experiment may be over. It's ok but gotta have flavor. Might be good for when the buds go wonky however. Who knows.

All local vendor juice sucks...open market?? Who knows..a couple of innovative guys could maybe make a few $$$, or at least give the natives a local option.

It's one of those things when all else fails, vape flavourless!

Yeah I was wondering if there wouldn't be a better way to distribute some here and there and maybe create a bit of an uprising or just more of a market. Don't necessarily need any website or B&M, yet, I am nowhere near the big boys at this point. Not even in the same zip code (figuratively and literally) Only have dabbled so far and don't even know what is going to be great, if any lol. She wants me to consider opening up a shop 'round these parts, but I tell her I haven't even started any of this really! Who knows though, I wont dismiss anything at this point..and if it's something I am already investing a lot of time and effort in and enjoy whats a bit more? But I'm for innovation and it doesn't seem to be a lot of company or competition for us here..who knows what tomorrow will bring..

 

[PittBoss]

It sure is quiet in here today..

 

[hawkizefan]

But..I've found that we can count on you PItt....
What are we up to...21/22 days with a new post?

Because of sparotts post earlier today I did some reading....very disheartining to say the least...I really had no idea about most of it.

On a side note...you're 1 day closer to that order...it speaks volumes that I may be more, or at least as, excited about that.
Very curious about more than a few that you have carted. Played with that failed no flavor juice tonight...taking a bath as we speak...a little black fire/vape wizard(2 drops in about 8 ml...didn't screw itup this time).and some apricot....we'll see...still need to get real serious about it.

Yay! Yup, 21 days straight I believe!

There has been shady things going on around here but I don't know that I will let it effect me to that extent. It sucks and all, although it seems to come from positive intents (albeit, not all of it).As long as it doesn't get too restricting and censored then c'est la vie! I will just continue doing what I do. Did anything specific happen with Sparrots, or was it just the atmospheric pressure building up here?

Haha, yeah I'm still pretty excited..pretty sure I'm going for expedited shipping, maybe even try and talk the 'ol lady into overnight, hehehehe..

Black fire and apricot, eh? That sounds mighty tasty, I have to say! So VW only a couple of drops per ~10ml then? How much did you throw in last time? You got notes going yet?

 

[PittBoss]

I have to know, that mix of BF and apricot..still steeping, or have you got impatient and gave it a whirl yet?

 

[hawkizefan]

Sorry this reply is so long coming...doin moms day with mine so the wife can have her unobstructed moms yada yada...
My self control has been impeccable..nearly 24 hours...not touched it but sniffed the hell out of it on occasion.

I used my unflavored experiment so...what I started with was app. 3 ml/100mg pg nic base, 4.5 mls pg and 1o.5 mls vg....total 9 ml in the initial
Test(app. 33mg nic). I can still see doing this when the buds need a break...don't think they were ready for a break..lol..
Used about 1 ml of the unflavored so was working with somewhere around 8 ml.

Nic base + 13 drops of black fire(2.5% is weak in my opinion...2.5 = 1 drop per ml of base..12 drops in 10 ml) so without doing the math I'm thi.king I'm around 3.5???...2 drops of apricot. This was Madvapes top vapor apricot that I got from another local vaper so don't know how it stacks up but it had a real "candyish" aroma so who knows.

Really going to try and let it rest til tomorrow. To achieve that I filled my tank with the vanilla and cream. These were mixed @ 2.5 and typically these flavors overwhelm me...but not these. Their nice but again...I think 2.5 is pretty weak. This could all just be me however...2.5 might be too much in your opinion.

Been checking out the forum that Sparrots recommended. Very interesting thread in the general area there. Check it out. Tell me what you think. Apparently I've been doing the ostrich thing...but in hindsight I guess I just wasn't seeing the forest for the trees.

 

[hawkizefan]

Crap...2 VERY carefully applied drops of Mrs(vape wizard)....I know the drop, drop, SQUIRT thing i did last weekend pretty much ruined everything..lol..but so darned cheap I'm vaping it up anyway.

I know I mentioned this earlier but the "thick" in Mts...I thought this was a reference to flavor, but it seems to actually thicken the juice. Something to keep in mind.

 

[PittBoss]

It really does sound quite tasty, I must say, regardless of the candy aroma. Ah, I can't wait! The vanilla and cream are ones from ECX, correct? And no tobacco flavouring in there, or did I miss something?

I poked around a bit at NV and it seems nice enough. Just don't know if I would want to split time between 2 forums, but who knows? I'll take a look in the general area though, any particular thread or will I know it when I see it?

 

[PittBoss]

OOOH! Thicker plumes await! Haha so stick with just a couple drops? I have to ask what it tastes like with a couple of squirts though? Hehe

Yup, pretty easy to find, lol

 

[hawkizefan]

You will know the thread when u see it.
Minimal vape wizard(trust me).
All my initial stuff is from ecx...but dying for feedback on vz...I posted yesterday the ones that really pique my interest. It's my understanding that ecx and vz are 2 different animals....I just dont know.

I love this forum...cut my teeth here...tons of good peeps...and I don't do "knee jerk"...just checking.. the wealth of info presented here is worth the of admission..............still....some funny crap going on.

I'm really tired....worked my .... off for the last month(bite me warren). I've edged and trimmed....how bout u come and now the crap. Got me 12 waiting...oh heck...got me 8 waiting....

Give you
$20.........you game????

 

[PittBoss]

I signed up there as well and gave a hello to Sparrots!

Well you will be the first I give my experience with the VZ stock to, if I can pry myself away from my atty. Will even try and give the ECX and VZ a seat together in the same bottle and let em fight for a bit.

Yeah, I enjoy hanging around the new members forum and helping peeps out and just perusing the threads and whatnot..Time will tell though. As far as me mowing your lawn..I'm game, gotta finish up mine after dinner though..don't even know if I will tonight seeing as how the Celtics are playing in an hour..and $20 for how big of a yard?!

 

[hawkizefan]

Pro b ball sucks...my yard borders nirvana....then there's me....
How you can't be all over that(shakes head...pops the fifth...

My bad....didn't give the proper notice .....so.....you free Wednesday or thursday

 

[PittBoss]

Well the only time I know I'm gonna be in Omaha next is the 8th and 15th of July..that is good enough notice!
But yeah, Wednesday I think I'm washing my hair..
Thursday I should probably dry it..

How do you not enjoy working in your yard? I wish I had a remotely decent sized one that I could do more in!
