is it ok to say,your tank is fungly?

To each their own buddy, I didn't have a choice on color because it was a contest win, but I can see your point, Bogan went with a bottle cap design and that's what came from it. It's a great tank for flavor and a ton have been bought.

Here’s a screenshot. You can use regular food flavors for the mint or cinnamon, as you’re not vaping. Or juice flavors if you prefer, but I’d say a lot less.

My only issue with this is the alcohol - I do drink, so that’s not a problem. I can get vodka. But does it leave the smell of alcohol on the breath? That would be just my luck to get a DUI for a stupid toothpick lol.

I could go unflavored. So just dip the sticks in some nicotine. Please explain to me like I am a toddler. I am not grasping this

 

[DeloresRose]

Oh and the menthol crystals, I can’t see why you couldn’t leave them out.

 

[NolaMel]

I am very confused at this statement and am wondering how much flavoring, how much PG and how much VG

I was quoting markfm. If you search in the Stocking Up thread I linked, there was a bit of discussion about them. Someone used altoids to make nic mints. I’m sorry, but I don’t recall how they did it. It sounded easy to do.

Good morning shinies

Sending love and hugs to all but especially @chanelvaps @Pigs at this difficult time

Thanks Charlie. My daughter's home is safe for now luckily. 2 of her neighbours to the south lost their properties but hers was spared. She says they are not out of the woods yet but the outlook today is better than this time yesterday.
Again thanks for everybody's kind thoughts - I passed them on to her and she said to thank you all.

That’s awesome news!

I recently bought 2 Vinci X from from FT: One for a friend. He opened his up yesterday and it's faulty out of the box - reads "Atomizer Short" with or without the pod/tank attached.
It also reads 0.00 Ohms resistance instead of the usual 9.99 Ohms when there's no atty attached.

I know I should open a ticket with FT but I'd love to fix it myself and save the many weeks wait time to get a replacement, even longer now that the Coronavirus has complicated export/imports.
Any bright ideas for a DIY fix out there?

Got a link, Anna? American General Snus search doesn't produce anything by that name. And General Snus site wants you to register on their site before you do anything. The only thing I could look at on their site was a store locator. Nothing about their products. And on SnusDirect and other sites, I can find General, but not American General.

Try generalsnus.com/storelocator/ shows around 50 within 20 mi. of me.

Hi Mark and Thanks You for weighing in.
So then about 20mls of PG and Vodka? If I am reading correctly and GETTING this (d'uh)

3mls of nic (110mg) 2-3mls of spearmint flavoring and 20ish mls of PG/Vodka, Totaling 20mls. Add toothpicks and let soak

I used 300mg total of nicotine for 50 toothpicks. It could be 3ml x 100 mg/ml, or 5 ml x 60 mg/ml - whatever you have, make the ml x strength= 300.

Couple ml of spearmint, then the pg and vodka, correct.

When everything is sitting in the bottle, top it off right to the brim with a little more vodka, cap it, shake it. The idea is to have all the toothpicks soaking in the solution for a day.

I'll probably try a batch of the nic mints too, for fun. From the things I've read the altoids smalls (sugar free is important) sound excellent for this, with an alternate mint available off Amazon that melts a bit more slowly. 2 drops/mint using a needle tip bottle of 60 mg/ml nic base (net, 3mg of nicotine, 1/20 of an ml of nic base), applied to each mint. The mint goes under the tongue.

Before my trip last month I had picked up one pack of the lowest mg commercial nic lozenges at Wal-Mart, in a mint flavor. Those things were awful. I tested exactly one, too much nic, took forever to dissolve, bad taste. Either the diy toothpicks or the mints are better - you can adjust the nicotine and flavor to suit, no other "stuff" added.

do you think equal amounts of pg and vodka?

I have a pack of lozenges at Walgreens, called in by my DR. 4mgs. $48 dollars. I balked and told the pharmacist I would look around. Silly to pay something like that when I have scads of nicotine in my freezer.

 

[markfm]

Diy will be better.

The ones I got from Wal-Mart were Equate. No prescription required. A pack of 24 was only $10. Good reviews, price was fine just to see what they were like, but I'd give them a hard pass.

I should still have 23 of them in the little tube they come in. I'll toss them, reuse the tube for nic mints [emoji3]

I'm trying to kind of understand at what bypasses on a mod I feel like I know what it's supposed to be it's supposed to run off the battery directly and therefore I would assume it would be based on your build or your coil as to how it hits you know like bypassing the chip as a Mech would but minus the chip. However that was not my experience yesterday when I tried bypass mode. The coil was .54 and it hit like I was smoking sulfur in the depths of hell. I didn't intentionally try bypass I just forgot to take it out of bypass when I was going through all my different modes and there was a commercial coil in it so is that what happened is that why that happened? Can you not use bypass mode with a commercial coil? I know you don't want to use a sub tank on a mech but I thought that was related directly to the 5-10 on a hybrid specifically not sticking out enough to make a proper connection.. oh and this was not a Mech obviously because it had bypass mode. But I'm just tying it back to the directly from the battery blah blah blah stuff

know nothing mech, and in the interest of uderstanding myself: isn't that simply too much power for a stock coil, being less flexible in range? i mean, the resistance lowers the voltage, if i understand right, but it doesn't lower it enough maybe?

Did you try your pod on it?
