yup, totally. weight is the way to go. VG is far too viscous for me to be messing around with syringes, measuring tubes etc.
Honestly there isn't much to learn. Just remember to hit that tare button after each ingredient or you'll have to do some math. The math is easy tho. You'll only forget a time or two, believe me. lol
Alright shines. Going to try and sleep once more..darn this wake up go to sleep!
Lather, rinse, repeat
Nighty nite

Nighty nite
morning all (belatedly).
my 1 year vapeversary present to myself arrived. seems the royal mail decided not to send it back east. my first mod with the wood of stability. a couple of pictures...
vapes? great. TC is accurate though i'm not using it much currently. fires quickly. nice feel to the button which is quite comfy using thumb or finger. nice weight to it despite the wood. batteries fit nicely and there's a ribbon to aide removal. the looks? oh yeah. for me at least it's a stunner.
three niggles...well just two that'll be ongoing. there's some play on the battery panel. it doesn't rattle if the mod is shaken but i can feel it move under my fingers sometimes. also it's difficult to remove if you have no nails (i don't). third niggle which isn't, now, ongoing. there was blue film stuck over the ultroner badge which was rather difficult to remove. felt like i was going to end up scratching the wood. 5 minutes of careful picking got it but why was it even there in the first place? hmph.
pleased? yes i am. roll on two years.

Start More Human Than Human video 15 seconds before starting this downhill video with the sound off. Good ride music and this is a good ride for it. Nitol

I started with about $30. I got 120 mls each of nic (100mg/ml) pg and vg, and a few flavors and a couple of bottles.
I got lucky and had good results right away.
I started because there were not many good juices I could find, and my favorite was discontinued. I wasted so much money on awful juice...
It didn’t start out as a labor of love, but I really enjoy it now. I know we all say, oh the money you’ll save! But that’s just what we say to justify buying a cabinet full of flavors lol. Although it is true.
My thoughts on steeping.
Don’t take it so seriously. There’s no magic formula. People buy commercial juice all the time and never know what day it was made or if any one ever shook it or whatever.
Make it, taste it, shake it and taste it again. I’m just in a habit now of mixing when I’m down to my last 30 mls of something. Then I make 120 of each of my three advs plus one base, which I use to try new flavors, or mix up something I’m out of.
I put the finished juices in small bottles, get my 120s cleaned and ready to mix, and have at least 30-60 mls left of each flavor to use while the new batch sits.
Usually that’s plenty of time for the ones that need to steep.
I think we give the impression that its all so much more complex than that. It’s not. Calculate, measure, and take notes with precision. Everything else is easy.
Good morning!
I slept 5.5 hours! Unbelievable! I started reading Michael Connelly’s Black Echo last week, picked it up last night and read about 60 pages. Slept like a log. That’s what I’ve been doing wrong, not reading! I actually slept long enough to dream for once. I dreamed someone cleaned my oven lol. I used to only have nightmares, back when I used to dream every night all night. So the oven thing is really strange.

some of the other, three, colours are really nice but this was the one for me. felt a bit funny not being able to see my particular grain and colours before i received it but i can't think of it being any nicer.
I haven't really seen much difference one butter to the next. I've even used McCormick extract...
Good morning shiners! Busy night here. I forgot the joy of having a hundred posts to catch up on. Today is a basic maintenance and rewicking day. Not exciting but someone's gotta do it.
this last week i kind of lost my rebuilding mojo. nothing was quite right.
did a nice bit of winding and wicking on the dead rabbit this morning so maybe i'm getting out of my funk.
may your coils be strong and your wicking material absorbent.
