I know...but I've just read many sites about the Kodi and others like it and I don't know what to choose. i messed up when i got a wall-hung large indoor antennae that doesn't pick up any more channels than the cheap little one that's attached to the wall...the little one cost about 30 $s and the big one about 120$!

So now i'm a bit gun-shy about getting anything else!

that's pretty much what i've had for mebbe 3 years. i have a Roku and used a Playon app till it stopped working.

now, i have a Kodi box and i can watch pretty much all movies, tv shows and live sports over the internet. i mean ALL.

hell, as i type this i'm watching the Goiden State Warriors vs Sacramento Kings-- my two hometown teams.

as long as your tv accepts an extra HDMI input, you're golden.

even under-$50 boxes from ebay/amazon should be serviceable.

Hey, MamaT

What hardware are your running the Kodi on? Also, your Add-On of choice? Exodus?

My wife and I recently moved to an island which, while rustic and remote(ish), has excellent internet - far better than in the city. Given the cable prices here, cutting the cable feels like the smart thing to do.

Sports would be the only thing I'd miss if we did it today. I can route netflix, amazon, crave (Canadian equivalent of Hulu), etc through a few devices already and I'm trying to source a good setup for live streaming games.

So glad I got a few more bottles of Wakonda to pump through my Reos. Sad to see my favorite juice go away. Hope I can make this stuff last a few months while I look into DIY again. Hated all the mess and having a dam chemistry set all sprawled out. Well, not so much me, but the Mrs. hates it. Any advice for snagging a new diy kit? Heard lots of good about Flavor apprentice and Nude Nic. Last time I did it, I had nic @ 24mg/ml in VG, a bottle of base VG and one of PG and then some flavors. Is that the recipe for success still or how is it done? I got a wee one runnin around so straight up nic is prolly outa the question.

I use 100mg NIC, PG, VG, and flavors. As far as equipment, empty bottles and four sizes of syringes ; 1, 5, 10, and 20ml are all I need.
Maybe review the DIY Section ?
I would try Heartland Vapes for nicotine, PG and VG. Flavors are up to you, but I mostly use TFA.
Maybe pickup / add a few recipes here....

What i found was that batch size and nicotine strength matters most, because out of all the ingredients you MUST get the nic right. After all, everything else you can drink and may not feel great, but no big deal.

When i make big batches and i mean 300ml at a time i just like to weigh it all and there's a whole section on that it this forum. Essentially you pour your ingredients one at a time into a big bottle and stop when they weight a certain amount. No mess, one bottle.

For just a bottle of gear, say 60ml, then syringes work fine. Do learn how to read them!

Two other things; simple recipes work well with this; if you are adding 15 different ingredients, then you need to be telling me the score - i'm assuming 3 or 4 flavours, nicotine, PG and VG - maybe a couple of other bits just as you like.

My wife, HRH makes her own juice - it runs like this: she vapes at 18mg/ml nicotine, but i don't trust her with 100mg/ml (that's a 10% solution btw, not 100% pure nicotine which would kill us all in seconds).

So i buy her nic liquid in PG at 36mg/ml. Maths is not her strong point. She's a good cook.

Recipe: Equal nic liquid and VG. This now makes an 18mg/ml 50/50 PG/VG solution. To which she adds RY4 until she likes it.

tl;dr Be careful with syringe measurements and keep it simple.

Mixing my own juice got so much easier for me, once I started mixing by weight, that I kick myself for not going to it sooner. When I started mixing, about 5 1/2 years ago, nobody that I knew mixed by weight. Using syringes, graduated cylinders, etc. was the way everyone I knew was doing it; so it was the way I learned. I only started using weight a few months ago. It's so much easier, and clean up is minimal.
