That's a bit of an exaggeration, but it IS close to 60% (taxes). Any way you slice it, it's a LOT of money.

Orange jumpsuits, the legislators...

I think it has a lot to do with where you live.

This side of the border a catons runs from $88.12 to 134.79

1 pack in NYC, $12.50-$15 depending where you buy. Jackson MS, less than $3. I always stocked up whenever I went down there. Plenty of illegal runs up from the Carolinas to NY because of the taxes.

So many flavors, so little time!
Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

May I offer one suggestion. Try to not make more than two or three different flavors for one tasting session. Your taste buds will become less "efficient" in evaluating many more flavorings in one sitting.

The smoke from one cigarette exposes you to 1 mg of nic. The smoke from one pack has 20 mg. At $15 a pack you're paying 75 cents per mg of nic. A 1 liter bottle of 100 mg nic that costs $50 has 100,000 mg x 75 cents = $75,000. May be the cigarettes are priced a bit high. The challenge is even if they charged a dollar a pack for cigs they would still be way way more expensive than DIY.

I hadn't thought of that. I imagine it's like smelling perfume, after a few different scents you can't smell it as well. Good idea!

I use 1% flavoring in my DIY. One consequence of that is I never tire of the flavor. That's makes things a lot simpler.

Okay peeps!
I'm looking to get a Wismec Presa TC75W because some have said the fire button is huge and hand friendly.
Found one cheap enough being they're on clearance.
Do any of you have this mod ?
Any negatives?

Have you looked at the RX75? I have one and basically the whole battery cover is the fire button.

The RX75 will only hold a ~22 mm tank, while the Presa (100 version at least) is fine with a 25 mm.

Thanks!
I just looked at it and liked it, but the presa I found is cheaper.
I really don't need it, just a vaperversary gift for myself.
I'm tight, too.

What type of rayon are you all using? I seem to remember something specific. Anyone tried lyocell like the stuff Fiber Freaks makes? Supposed to be another type of cellucotton/rayon. A lot of positive reviews.

I use the cotton type of rayon. ;)

The RX should be about $30. What are the Presas running for these days?
