Good morning, Mr.MasculineMuscularMarvelousMYBear :)

Okay, today I am making my first DIY order. Am getting PG, flavoring and what size bottles and miscellany??? Will NOT be using nic. Do I need distilled water? Do I get a sweetener? And, please, ONCE AGAIN, tell me where you buy your flavors? Do I need anything else? I have been saving 30ml bottles and have a few larger ones, too.

Thank you for all the assistance you can possibly give to this dumb dumb :p

I buy most of my flavors from BullCityVapor. Do you vape heavy VG? Distilled water is sometimes used to thin it.

No, I just use PG, Fran, so I don't need distilled water?

You also need something to measure your flavors with. I use small syringes with blunt needles.

Where did you get them from?

G'mornin, snails!

Not sure what a good shop would charge but by the time you buy all the tools you need you might be better off letting someone that does it every day do it,and then there's the warranty to think about it might be void if you do it check it out first :2c:

After doing some research, I think the problem might be the a/c "clutch" bearings. Replacing that bearing pack should be an easy fix unless I need it press fit. The compressor seems to be working fine, since the air is cooler than I can ever remember it being. I always apply the KISS methodology whenever I can. :thumb:

"Muscular"?!?! You are TOO kind! :)

Can't help with liquid DIY. Have not dipped my toes in the PV/VG/Nic Pool yet.

Tell me about thick VG! Nude Nicotine's premixed juice is 100% VG.
Even the supplied eye dropper has a hard time sucking it up. But it
clouds like mad.

Good morning y'all

I use 100% PG too Katmar. It takes only PG and flavor. So it's very simple. I've found i need less flavor than the recipes indicate, but YMMV. It's also quite easy to dilute further if the flavors are too strong. (What little nic i use,<0.5mg/ml, i'm mixing down from the 2mg/ml that i still have left from my last Deej order a year ago. Diluting that by 3/4 with PG is probably why i got used to minimal flavoring)

I get my PG from amazon

Mad...make sure you do whatever in a well ventilated area. Also, it may be under pressure if not depleted. Supposedly, you have to have the tools to recover the coolant (not let it into the atmosphere).

Good morning snails. Let's see:
wakey, wakey! ;)
4:30? Poor Tibs. That's what you get for bailing out early! :D

Hoping it stops pouring rain........
Me Too (for you). Morning!

Distilled not necessary. I don't use syringes anymore either. I just count drops and/or measure amount poured inside a 30 ml bottle just by looking at it. ;) It's not rocket science, particularly if you're not a vendor.

@SilverBear - what about that "that you want to do re: TiaVapes" is a question?
