So.....STOCK UP! :thumb:

I am stocking up - mostly nic base and such for the moment. But it looks like I shall also need to stock up on hardward and attys. BY the looks of it over here no items that can in any way leak will be sold. So what is it... are we going back to Green Smoke and GS?!!

Bill I found your perfect mod!



Guess what the inscription says in Chinese?

Made in the U.S.A. :thumb:

I have the Granite edition of this Mech.....

Chinese still eludes me. What does it say?

By the way, I don't use mechanicals. I only keep one on hand to fire a subohm coil, but I'm APV all the way (P3's, Eye, Semo, 2.5's, etc.), and have whittled down to maybe a dozen now. I sold my GG's and others along the way. But, thank you for thinking of me! :toast: :D

:2cool: :vapor:

The only reasons I stating using my mechs again was the sub ohm tanks and RDA' I tinker with, and now the DNA40 mods have pretty well addressed that!

I mean I have to agree that you just cannot beat a APV!

Don't get me wrong I love my Reo, but like any mech...you end up sucking your brains out finally realizing "Oh dang...change the battery"...:facepalm:

I want to find someone with the software and interface to flash the firmware on my P3 to .4Ω or .5Ω....the fact that Provape will not do it yet kind of erks me!

IMHO seeing as the devices and vaping is a "use at your own risk" venture, I see no good reason for them being so bent on keeping the minimum resistance up, as I have been told the firmware can be set to whatever!

I mean it's pretty obvious Provape has lowered it's prices due to stiff ADV VV VW mod selections available..I mean no doubt it's a VERY high quality product, but for the money I want mine to go to .5Ω !

Apv vs mech is like metric vs standard measurements.

Inches and feet worked well for a long time, then metric came along and proved far superior in ease of use, simplicity, and ability. You still have a few of the die hard clinging to the old ways and if they prefer to convert fractions instead of adding decimals it's their perogative. Ever since Apv hit the 20 watt mark I haven't had the desire to play with fractions anymore.

Star Burst Vape...

I will have this up REAL soon!

Bill:

The recipe calls for Key Lime, of course I am doing Passion fruit; the recipe will work with pretty much any fruit flavor, here's my question:

You have made mention of some of the Berry flavors having floral notes (like Blueberry) what do I do to cancel out the floweriness of these flavors?

I thought of adding 50% PGA, but hey that would just make ya' drunk! LOL!

Chemical/Floral notes do sometimes popup in our mixes. I wrote about this before, and include in my blogs:

Floral/Chemical notes do exist in some flavors, or can occur at higher percentages in some flavors. To eliminate those notes, don't wait to see if they dissipate, the chemical/floral note is an indication of an incomplete mix, not a lack of steeping. Here are some suggestions:

1. Reducing the percentage flavoring of the primary can often times eliminate the floral/chemical note, or :ohmy:
2. Add 2% strawberry, or 2% raspberry to the mix. At these low percentages, they will not be significant, if they can be tasted at all, and they will help "neutralize" the offending chemical/floral notes. Primary flavoring at 7%+ will overwhelm these fruits at 2%. Give it a shot. :?:
3. Adding a good balance of creams, sweeteners and vanilla, even to tobaccos will not overwhelm the mix, if mixed at under 6% (each), and will supercharge and enhance the primaries. In so doing, they will also eliminate the chemical/floral notes in most cases. Many juices, including tobaccos, DO have creams and vanillas at low percentages. They round, smooth, and enhance the mix very effectively, and in small percentages are not significant, often not detectable. In most cases, the creams/vanillas/sweeteners will be the missing ingredient that we often cannot put our finger on. :facepalm:

Good luck! :toast: :D

:2cool: :vapor:

Actually, pretty easy to deal with these notes. Because they can be caused by too much flavoring of one kind, and not enough of another, many people don't realize that adding more flavoring can solve the problem. Being a HFM juice maker myself, I blew right through these problems, and discovered by trial and error how to defeat Chemical and floral notes, sometimes tasting like perfumes, in the mix. Good luck, my friend! :toast: :D

Somebody gave me a box of flavorings. Spent the evening making a word document. Question for those in the know. I have TFA flavoring in glass vials from Wizard Labs and they say 'the Flavor Apprentice' on them but they also say "flavor concentrate.'
In the box was also many many flavors in plastic bottles that say The Flavor Apprentice (nothing about Wizard labs) and they do not say concentrate.
So I am assuming some were bought from Wizard and some from TFA? Are the plastics concentrates even though it does not say it?

Question for those with plenty of experience with Orange Sweet.

Since it is actually an oil, does it require any special treatment to keep from separating in the mix, such as mixing into PGA first?

I would suggest mixing in some PGA; this will make a "soluble solution", in other words the alcohol will act as an agent to help the oil blend with VG / PG and water based flavors.

In other words take the percentage of the orange you going to use and add some PGA to it before you add it to your flavor mix.

It will mix with PG but takes forever to mix.
