You'd think by now I'd learn to read before just putting drops in a bottle. Nope!
I just made some lemon custard from the Dropbox recipe but am going to let it sit with the cap off for a little while.
Nevermind, question answered. Thanks, Robert!
yep, that's human natureI have a bottle of unflavored "base" (pg-vg- nic) that comes in real handy for when I have over flavored a flavor test. Just diluting it is sometimes is the only "fix" it needs.
That bottle also comes in real handy when I'm close to the very bottom of a tank .. it starts to get thick, and I just add a few drops to the "sludge", and it's like a fresh juice again.
I always have to get "the last drop" out of a flavor I love
Ha! I do that![emoji38] yep, that's human nature

I snagged a Smokeless Owl earlier this summer. Now that I have a "real" bottom feed atty, I really like it. So much so, I've ordered a VaporFlask Squonk Clone (my birthday present to my old self)
I used to have this thread on my "watch" list. Dang, there has been a lot of tension going on in here (and in other threads too.) I *LOVE* the generosity of so many of you - I'm all about snagging a recipe (or MANY recipes) from you folks and giving it a whirl. I've tried to repay with a couple of my own recipes.
Taste is subjective. You make it one way that works for *YOU* - doesn't mean that it will work for *ME* - BUT, I now have ideas and understand how things need to "play together" in order to make juice that keeps *ME* away from picking up another nasty cigarette.
I'll be 51 in a few weeks. With my family's "longevity", I *might* have 20 more years. So, if by trying things shared by ALL of you keeps me away from a cigarette, I *MIGHT* have a chance of breaking that streak.

The variety really helps me stick with vaping. Whether it be a new flavor, recipe, pv, or tank. DIY has really helped me to keep costs down while providing variety. I'm trying hard to spend less since my oldest is in college and I'd like to try to help pay for as much of it as I can.
I think your going to like that vaporflask sqounker.I got mine a week ago,and i'm loving this thing haha,so much so that i'm ordering another thursday when i get paid,i have the black one,so now i have to order the silver one haha.A little tip,it can be a bit of a pia to get the plastic tube to slide onto the metal tube since you can't see it,but if you tilt the mod a bit and look through the sqounk hole,you can see the metal tube and then it's very easy to guide the plastic tube on.
I threw the whole saving money thing out the window haha.Actually for me,it was cheaper when i smoked because i rolled my own,cost me about $10 a week for a bag of tobacco and a box of tubes,now since i started vaping,i spend around $20-$30 a week,although at least now that is all spent by choice,so i don't mind spending a little more on something i actually enjoy.
Choice is really what makes all the difference. I bought regular cigarettes, so every payday (twice a month), I *had* to reserve $88 for cigarettes, come hell or high water. Now, if we have a slightly less than usual payday, or have more expenses than usual, I really don't have to spend anything on vaping, I'm pretty well set. But when we have a slightly better than usual paycheck, then I can spend some on vaping, for whatever I need or want at that particular time. It's so liberating! Overall, I probably spend roughly half of what I spent on smoking, but I can *choose* when I spend it, rather than be forced to spend that much even when I can't really afford it. I'm good with that.

I do enjoy vaping much more. Before, smoking was just a monkey on my back. I used to spend about 40-45 a week on cigarettes so I am actually saving. Between DIY liquids and making my own coils I am saving. Now if I could just get a handle on shinyitis. I've been rather lucky on a few contests so that has helped some.
I was exactly the same way,when i smoked,the money for cigarettes came out before anything else,no way i was going to go without haha.Now,just like you say,if i have a short check or bills are higher than usual,i don't have to buy anything,i have more mods,etc. than i will ever need,and enough diy supplies to last me several years,so really i could stop spending now and save a boat load of money,but any time i have the extra money,i grab something new to try whether it's as simple as a new flavor or a new mod,besides if i don't spend it,my wife will haha.Choice is really what makes all the difference.

Shinyitis is my downfall haha.I started to get a handle on it after a year of vaping,i had a very nice collection of mods and tanks,so i slowed down on buying equipment for a while,then i seen a thread here for a cheap bottom feeder haha.Now i feel like i'm starting over,all the cool bf mods,and then there are all those rda's i need to try haha,it just never ends haha.
When I started there were the 510, 901, and 801. The only mods were the screwdriver and the prodigy. It took me a while but I got my first mod which was an Xhaler on the initial release. I'm a cheapskate at heart so have a hard time paying big money for a mod. With everything on the market now it's like a kid in a candy store scenario.
51? I have 10 years on ya.I snagged a Smokeless Owl earlier this summer. Now that I have a "real" bottom feed atty, I really like it. So much so, I've ordered a VaporFlask Squonk Clone (my birthday present to my old self)

Congrats on the squonker. Enjoy it.
Tension? Too many seem to think their way is the only way.
Whatever works for ya is my view as long as it is safe.
And yes tastes sure do vary, I am cursed with taste buds that taste things in flavorings that most all other people do not taste.
Enjoy the variety and keep on Tootlin

I refuse to pay the crazy high prices some devices cost.My most expensive mod that i have bought was like $70 and that was only because i had just gotten my taxes back.Most of my tanks and rda's are clones,because no way i would ever spend $150 on a little rda haha.
So your 261,i knew your avatar was an old picture,but i didn't realize it was a self portrait haha.
LOL yep Baron Cromwell is old. He also makes typosSo your 261,i knew your avatar was an old picture,but i didn't realize it was a self portrait haha.
Hello everyone as you know I am a newbie and a lurker on here and I have got some GREAT information and made some very good recipes from you all on here also. I am really bummed at my try to create my own I have been told less is better but following Bills advice the more flavor are the better ones for me but I have no clue on how to start with a lot of flavor so I don't have to let them steep for months. I have been working on a sugar cookie and I can not get the base down no matter what. It has sugar cookie, barvarian cream etc in and I either get no taste or taste just the one flavor. So I am asking you all how do you figure out your precentages I mean the 100 DT is a good one for me if I am using someone else recipe but when I try it on my own they are horrible. Can you please give me some suggestions on how to do this so I can create my own instead of having to depend on someone else or ask someone for a recipe? I don't mean to say that I don't like using the recipe on here they are wonderful but I want to do my own so I will feel better about it .
