I have no idea what flash is and it kinda sounds like something you'd buy in a rave or dance club (j/king). Anyway, I hope you have a successful, life altering, game changing sort of day. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Thanks Aik, either this goes well or I'll spend 7 yrs unemployed...

Maybe a temp glitch? Looked fine to me. Clicked on thread tools and menu with subscribe appeared.

I must be seriously stupid because I can't find the Forum tools button to save my life. I was wantin to subscribe to that there "New Forum Software" doo dad and the directions say "To subscribe to a forum, click the 'Forum Tools' link above the list of threads then select 'Subscribe to Forum'." I'm just not seeing it. Now some how I accidentally subscribed to this forum but that's cool cuz I wanted to do that too. But damned if I know how I did it, nor can I do it again....apparently. :confused:

Thaya,
The only part of that whole message I understood was yes you do dripp, you do it all the time. the rest of it was greek to me. Sounds like I gotta buy more stuff. I was just gonna try it with my old 510, but I feel kind of silly thinkin that now. deet-da-dee.

Don't mind me, I'll be in the back yard eating dirt, (cuz that's how smart I feel right now) :D:blink:

I'm not saying it can't be done with ejuicemeup, just that the calculation could be a pita. Every calculator is just doing the work for you; eg: 18mg/ml is just 1.8% nicotine by volume.

I just hope you have the sweetflash factored right, google tells me it's just flash and sweetener added to a nicotine base to make a 10mg/ml additive (I've never used it, no idea)... that's the ONLY reason I use a 100mg/ml base, anything higher must be purchased by a lab; so worst case my nicotine amount would be lower than I calculated for rather than higher.

Anyway, not throwing stones... if it works for you, awesome. I will keep looking for an offline calculator that has that option, I haven't seen one that does.... yet.

Have you tried saving it as an offline webpage?

I dunno how google knows anything about my sweet flash, I make it myself. I have sweet flash, sweet xxflash, and xsweet xxxflash -- depending on what percentage of the sweetener and flash I'm using. It just makes it easier for me to add flash without having to do it by drops -- I started using it when I was mixing pre-made ejuice, to help boost the PG and the TH and lower the nic level to my own specs (10mg).

I've looked all over chrome, there doesn't seem to be a way to save something as an offline page. Best I can do is that I have my "main" recipes printed out, so if I need to make something I've made before, good chance I already have it printed. My only difficulty is that I keep dropping my WTA amount, which means an adjustment both in that percentage, as well as the nicotine, VG, and PG, when I change it. So if my internet is down, and I need to mix something I haven't printed before, or I need to drop the WTA level for something I do have printed, I just have to wait until the internet is back up.

I think you've mistaken me for Shari about the dripping since I didn't say a word about it. :p But since you brought it up, I only drip occasionally since I think it's a bit of a pain to have to keep putting more juice in my atty. I like to fill and forget, and not have to stop to add juice every few minutes.

You can use a simple 510 dripping atty to drip. It's simple and easy. It's not rebuildable but it's mostly used for tasting new juices rather than long term dripping sessions. There's not much air flow, so you can use mouth to lung hits rather than the straight to lung hits associated with rebuildables.

I use what they call an RDTA or a Rebuildable Dripping Tank Atomizer. It's a rebuildable atty with a tank on top. There's a spring in the top of the tank that drips juice on your atty when you push down on the drip tip. I find it more convenient than just dripping and has better flavor than just a tank. You pretty much have to do lung hits with them although you can close down the air flow enough for mouth to lung if you want to. I trained myself to do lung hits as opposed to the mouth to lung hits I'd been doing with the Kayfun and found it to be easy. I eliminated the burning throat issue by using a higher VG juice. I've found that I really enjoy the bigger clouds associated with higher VG as well.

I recently purchased a couple of RDAs to try dripping again. I went for ones that were a bit of a novelty and had huge wide bore glass mouthpieces. I still find it a pain to have to redrip, but they're fun to use off and on at home. Wow, such clouds! But somewhat lacking in the flavor department. If you're looking for flavor, there are plenty of RDAs that would fill that bill.

To drip or not to drip......it really depends on what you're looking for and how important convenience is to your lifestyle. :vapor:

I've tried the 510 dripper atomizers to taste juice, and they're okay. Ever since I tried the RBA that came with my Subtank, I've been extra curious about dripping. I know it won't be convenient for me, during my work week, but figure I can drip at home, in the evenings and some weekends. I'm still researching different models....

Not only did it go badly but I have to go back to prolong the agony on Thursday and they suggested I set up counseling as it would probably be court mandated anyway... someone shoot me :(

Thanks Robin, but I think the bad is just starting. I expect to lose my license in 15 days and my career shortly after... don't want to mention the rest of the mess.

I'll be off for a while, don't want to crash the thread with bad karma.

Later folks

omg. That's devastating. Is this acciedent related?

With all the stuff on your plate, the last thing you need to be worrying about is us. If you go back to the beginnings of this PIF forum, it's support and I know I've come in here to vent a few times. That may not be earth shattering, but I think it's helped.

I'm sorry your going through this.

Many people started dripping on 510's. Nothing wrong with that. I think there's a thread dedicated to them. I still use them. It's very basic, just screw the atty on, drip, add drip tip and puff away. Not all of us have moved on to the fancier stuff. I think it's a relaxing way to test out new flavors. When I start someone new to vaping, I always add a 510 for dripping since I think it's something everyone should try at least once.

I am sorry. Just so you know you're not alone, I lost my driver's license, truck, and career, back in 1998, due to a DUI. A very expensive lesson and one that changed my life forever, but life does go on.

I sure wish I had found out about them early on when I started vaping. I would have saved so much time and money. :facepalm:

Positive vibes to everyone!!!!! Seems like this week has been rough on everyone. Make sure that everyone is doing well. Then we can go forward with our days.

Past that, thank you for the reminder. I needed to do that. Now I got to get things figured out about other stuff and things. It is going to be a really long week, gotta work and then other things. It is going to be a fun week too. My boy got to go to this animal rescue place. It's called Wolf Park. He got all kinds of cool little nic nacs and that cost him about $10. I gave him $45. The rest of which he donated to the facility to help with the upkeep of the Wolves and the other animals at the park. It was pretty awesome of him. :D

Also, I'm still smoke free. It's been a little bit difficult for me here and there. Stressfulness is getting silly. But past that it hasn't been all that bad. Anyone got any suggestions on new juices that they love? I've gotten really into Blueberry juices. No good reason as to why. What have you been loving these past weeks?

I'm starting to experiment with other fruits; this strawberry 'n cream has been my ADV for more than 3 months, and I still love it, but the thought keeps nagging me, hey dummy, there's a lot of other yummy fruits in the world! :D Recently got some TFA DX Banana Cream, to mix with blueberry, strawberry, peach, and a hint of coconut; and just ordered some new peach last night, Inawera's e-aromat peach, because the TFA juicy peach rather underwhelms me.

Main problem is that my palate is rather limited on fruits; don't really like most citrus -- other than ruby red grapefruit, but I think that's a tank-cracking type -- and I refuse to eat something that's even hairier than a peach -- such as a kiwi. :D Not a huge fan of melon either, and I loathe and detest raspberry. So I gotta try and combine the fruits I do like to make something new and different.

I've been thinking of adding a marshmallow to one of my orders sometime; I see it called for in a lot of cheesecake recipes. But I want a good authentic one that's diketone free. I'm not a fan of real marshmallows at all, hate that squishiness, but if it'll make a cheesecake vape taste right, I'm all for it.

Was just clearing my vape counter this evening. I'm going to be mixing, probably Friday, the flavors I just ordered from BCV will be here most likely, and I can use that Inawera Peach instead of the TFA Juicy Peach in that fruit mix I mentioned.

Tomorrow I might play with my Veritas; at first I didn't care too much for it, wicked with rayon, all I could taste was the rayon. A friend PIFed me some KGD and Shiseido cotton, and with that instead of rayon, that's a pretty sweet vape. But I think the whole vertical coil thing is vastly overhyped; I thought I would take it out and just put a regular horizontal coil in it, to see how it compares to my Magma.
