Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

[h00ligan]

And it will keep me busy for the low, low price of $5 (100ft spool of SS). I have to hoard my pennies right now.

When we meet for the mod I will bring you a boatload of ss. I bought a spool by weight. It was 2 lbs or something. It's like two miles of 28 gauge. I'm overflowing.

Try nife 48/52 if you can. I feel it's the best temp control wire going. I can give you a sample of that too. But it's definitely worth buying a spool. The tcr of nife is .0405 vs .0089 of stainless steel. So it's way more accurate.

@ChelsB is it so good that is worth shipping from England?

Wish I hadn't fallen asleep early last night and had seen that. Wondering about your question about it being worth shipping from England??? One Stop DIY shop is located in the US...in Westcliffe, Colorado.

There are companies located in England that carry some of their One Stop Flavors and One Stop Blends, but they get them through OSDIY here in the US.

I saw later that you'd just ordered 4 flavorings already. Hopefully, not from the English website since the S/H will be very high. If you did, can you cancel that order since it was just placed, and get them from OSDIY in Colorado instead?

What's the mix ratio for the blends? Does it mix like regular single flavorings (1-5%) or more like full recipe concentrates (20%) ? Thanks for the info looks very interesting.

In fact I just ordered samplers of a bunch of stuff so any mix percentage advice would be appreciated.

 

[JCinFLA]

Think of them as super concentrates when done this way. You can buy ethyl maltol already liquid (cotton candy) but I haven't seen vanillin as a liquid.

Thanks again. I was just looking them up on WL. They only have the vanillin as a 10% mixture in PG (TFA). I might get a sample bottle of that to try before I go looking for crystals. Is that a regular vanilla flavor? Vanilla is my favorite juice.

What you found at WL is what I got and use. It is the already mixed, ready-to-use liquid...so you don't have to get the crystals and mix them with PG yourself. IMO it's a wonderful Vanilla! I also love the fairly new CAP Simply Vanilla, too.

I really think it depends on how strong you want the flavor to be and maybe what nic mg you like to vape. For most of their OS Flavors and OS Blends...the usual recommended % to use for any 1 of them alone, with your own PG, VG, and Nic base is between about 8-10%.

I've found that for me and 2 other people I make eliquids for using those...it varies according to what nic mg they want, too. For the Lucky Shot + Lotta Latte combo, I use 6% of each for 2 of us who vape 3-7mg nic. For 1 person who vapes 12mg...she likes it at 8% of each of those. Another person I taught how to DIY vapes at 18mg, and she uses 10% of each in her mix.

However, for their Pink Lemonade...I found that just 5-6% of it alone is plenty potent enough for my tastes. Their Baked Cinnamon Roll, I make usually at 7%.

So just play around with them and see where your own "happy place" is with each one.

Thanks is for the info. Copied it to a note for when the stuff arrives. Wow that's going to be pretty inexpensive if it mixes at 8-12% even the 9ml bottles are good to make 100ml of juice. I'm trying six flavors. Hopefully one will be great. I like mewes juice doobie snacks which is a blueberry Pom so I'm very hopeful on that flavor.

I guess I'll make 10ml batches and start at 7-10% which means i can make up to 9 different batches for trial and error. It also means I can just do a ml of flavoring at the most for the first batches.

I mix a lot of what you call super concentrates. I refer to hem as full recipe concentrates. But heave been mixing at 22-25%. And Bette more expensive. So this is going to the very interesting. Should be a good experiment for under $15 - appreciate the link and info.

Whew!!! It is Colorado! I don't know what I was seeing, just viewed my order online. Still $6.50 shipping. Well lesson learned, slow down, read carefully. Thanks JC

 

[JCinFLA]

By the way...OSDIY Shop also has an on-going permanent discount code for ECF people that's usually between 11-16%. It's ECF. Sometimes JFK will work also. They just finished having a 20% off sale for the 4th of July though! That's when I load up on larger sizes I get from there.

Yay! Colorado!

They do offer First Class Mail shipping for much less, but the total package weight has to be 13oz. or less to go by that class. I've usually been able to order about 7-8 of their sampler sizes and still qualified for 1st Class. More than that though...the total weight means Priority Mail is required.

@JCinFLA thats good to know! Next time I'll use the code. The flavors sound really yummy . And I like easy! Thanks for being our Fairy Godmother on this site, you look out for everyone! It is much appreciated.

@Krisma I wish I had taken the time to research the EScribe, I looked it up now 11:30 pm pac time. They released the beta program for Mac, 4 hours ago. What a hoot This is released tonight for DNA75C the rest will reportedly be coming in a week for all other DNA versions. Hooray I have 2 Epetites and a Jac vapor soon I can fuss also.

Do you have a link where you 'saw that'? And/or a link to the beta version? Thanks

She is and she does and it is! Last summer when I first joined ECF (a year ago today!) and was advised to stock up @JCinFLA was one of the very helpful people on a stocking up thread who gave great advice on the subject. Thanks!

@MikeE3 I googled and found. forum.evolvapor.com I clicked on DNA 60, read thru lots of whining about nothing for the Mac, then the announcement.

You're welcome for the code. As far as looking out for everyone - I figure that I've learned, and am still learning, so much from all of you since I joined ECF, that whatever I can do in return, I'll keep doing.

Vaping some FA Virginia 2% mixed half and half with unflavored nic base. Yes, it's weak by some standards, but it's a nice vape when you just want a little flavor in your unflavored. It also makes the flavored mix last twice as long.

 

[DaveP]

I got a call from my bank about charges on my debit card. Somehow, my card got skimmed. I had trouble getting the card to swipe and read at a Walmart checkout and finally it went through (common signs of a skimmer overlay installed). A little over $1800 was charged in Atlanta Tech Center and in NYC at Macy's. BankofAmerica was quick on the draw and discovered it. Most of it has been reversed in 24 hours and the two remaining charges should come off by Monday. I should have a new card in the mailbox by Monday.

I'll have to do some research on how to detect add on skimmers. The people who do it are pretty clever. One of the signs that a skimmer is installed is trouble getting the card to swipe and register on the card reader. I had that problem at a local Walmart the day before the charges appeared.

Does their pink lemonade have raspberry notes?

IMO, no it doesn't. Tastes to me exactly like the fairly tart pink lemonade we used to drink when we were kids.

Thank you, I guess I'll just have to get a sampler and play a little.
