The iHybrid APV - A fully Customizable Genesis

[Ezkill]

Question for any of you DIYers out there... when you buy nic what percentage pg/vg nic base do you use? I'm not sure if I want 100% pg nic base or 50/50. I'm probably gonna be mixing my my juice with 60/40 pg/vg but what base nic should I get?

Keep it simple to start. Mixing PG/VG, cutting nic, making custom blends...turns a lot of people off to start.

I used to vape 24mg 60VG/40PG. So I buy 24mg 70VG/30PG base. After I add 10-20% flavor I end up with 20-22MG and 54-63% VG since the flavoring knocks down the percentages. Believe me...you can't tell the difference between 54-63 and pure 60. I don't think most juices are that accurate.

Doing that to start really simplifies life when you are trying a lot of flavors. No cutting, no blending...just add flavors and vape.

Depends on Mg strength. I use PG mix from Stormy's. 100mg/ml. I mix 1ml per 10ml of juice to get my 10mg specimen's. i vary my levels depending on the wicking device I use. With 500ss I typically use 50/50. With Cotton wicks in Vivi tanks or SRT I usually use a higher concentration of VG.
It really does not matter if you are using both PG and Vg, just adjust what you are adding to suit your needs.

And I went the other direction. I use 60mg pure PG base and use a 10 flavor calculator. here:

E-Liquid Calculator Ten Flavor's With Nicotine Plus PG/VG Adjusting

Both are valid approaches. Depends on you.

Thats awesome thanks ez! I definitely want to keep it simple to start and not get carried away with crazy combinations.

long catch up this morning, The hybreed introductions was a good idea, to much to multiquote lol

I wont make Vaporcon, I have plans to visit chicago this year already... date not nailed down but I've wanted to go up to see a live bears game in Soldier field for a while, got a good idea who to contact now..

Noticed we had someone from detroit also, I was there for the lions vikings game last year thats a really nice stadium.

I'm a dolphins season ticket holder, not because I'm a dolphins fan (I'm not, Bears ...) but because I'm a football fan and they are the local team.

Skud, do you do any of the south florida vaper meets? I'm planning on doing the one on the 27th I also know the owners of some of the local brick and mortors (boca vapes just oipened in boca by a good friend of mine) and I know everybody from Vaporburst, most of the employees have been friends of mine for years, since even before those stores opened.

Think I spotted someone else from margate but don't remember who, same questions lol.

i haven't done any vape meets yet, but i'm hoping to make it to the one on the 27th. i've also been trying to make it into both Vapor Burst and Boca Vapes since each of them opened, but work seems to get in the way of damn near everything sometimes. i actually don't know a single other serious vaper in south florida, so this has been a pretty solitary pursuit for me. well, except for all the fine folks on ECF. so if i walk into Vapor Burst and tell them Matt sent me, they'll know what's up? and who would i ask for at Boca Vapes? just trying to get more into south florida's growing hardcore vaper scene, i've felt for years like i was the only one.

Either one tell then goldcoastmat with the camaro sent you, boca vapes has better pricing it'll either be Kevin or April there.

It simplifies things later too.

Personally, I pay a little more but still do it this way. I buy 250ml bottles of 50/50 18mg (about $15). With flavoring, gets me right about where I like to be from a nic perspective, and gets me close enough to the PG / VG ratio I prefer.

For me, the convenience is worth the little extra cost and its still way cheaper than any decent retail juice..

Grruss, you made me think about Boba's. Dug around in the tackle box for a minute and found some. Put it in an AGA-t yesterday with a twisted 32g kanthal coil 0.9 ohm's sitting on the rootbeer buzzpro at 3.3volts. Tasty stuff. I hide good juices from myself at times, so I can come back and finish them off when the time is right.

And thank you to mr grruss thats also a great option. Thanks for the calc. I got an app for my phone but wasnt really diggin it. Now I have some direction.

Vapercon was a blast Amie. I was sitting with the guy dressed up as Miss Frankenstein. Im telling you the whole costume thing was a set up. LOL!!! It took me almost a week to recover from that meet. It was epic!! Cant wait to do it all over again!

Face your FB page is spamming with Android Apps. Its tagging you in all the pics and sending them to your friends list. Just wanted you to know.

Yeah there are more vapors down here then ever before.

I started vaping in March. Got into rebuildables in April, and I felt like you. Everyone was still vaping egos and clearos. Last couple months it really blew up down here in South Florida.

It was a blast though!! I am like you it took me a week to recover too lol. I have not had that much fun in a while. I love the freebies too. I walked away with tons and tons of juice. And man the deals were great!!

that's good to hear! when i joined ECF a few years ago, it seemed impossible to find another south floridian vaper even on here. i'll occasionally run into somebody with a blu or an njoy, but i won't even say anything to them. most normal people just think my iHy is weird, little do they know...

That's e exactly how I started and continue to do. Seems pretty simple after you get the first batch out of the way. I love that calculator too. You can save and share your recipes if you so desire.

Yeah man. The costume contest was really a popularity contest, it was definitely rigged. It was a blast and in the end it was all good. The standing ovation Twgg got was breath taking.

Yeah it's amazing how fast the vaping community is growing.

Come out to the meet at the end of the month. There are a bunch of us there that are into rebuildables. Plus Bruce and Justin from COV are there every month with goodies....

Do they typically bring gg parts? I'm having a real hard time finding a stealth cap.
