I believe i would LOVE that!! I just finished the small amount of Plum juice that i had!
i feel kinda overwhelmed with my diy, and that i dont have time or focus to dedicate to it. i am gonna have to pull some late night DIY sessions to accomplish even my short term goals
#2 Good evening VVVers! Got my shipping notice last night! Ray is really rocking out the orders. He must have been well prepared for his sale! :)

LD, I use sweetener and T&S in the same mix all the time. Don't forget to utilize your lemon juice as well. I have a plum/strawberry mix I think you will like, next time I see you. I've been using a new strawberry from TPA that I really like. I was on Tucson Vapers today and one of the members mentioned that he was drinking a green tea latte. EUREKA! That would make a great vape! I need to work on this one.:thumb::thumb:

Good point and a way to help it out is to shake the bottle, with the lid on of course, and then let the air bubbles come up and release. Once the liquid is clear shake it again, repeat this process about four or five times and the chemical part of the juice will be gone or mostly gone.
shake shake shake, shake yo bootyyyyy!!

Today I lost my green ego 1100 for a few hours... it was my first larger ego battery.. it usually goes out with me when I leave the house. I usually leave with about 4 ego's all different flavors so It wasnt a crisis (Mods stay at home) but I sure was OCD'ing about it. Lucky I found it where it had slipped out of my pocket and down the side of my drivers seat in the car. Nothing special about it as its not a twist, just an old buddy..

diyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
i started out by mixing 5 single flavors into a 50/50 base w/12mg nic (used a calculator)
the strawberry and the canteloupe turned out well on their own (not fantastic though), the others are missing something and are flat or not very strong.
sweet tangerine 18% (flat) Try 15%
lemonade 10 % (tart and missing something)
cantaloupe 15% (needs a tad of sweetener) Too much flavoring. These are best around 5% or so.
sweet strawberry 15% (also a tad flat) Too much flavoring is more tasteless than too little
mango 15% (little to no flavor)


i mixed a small amount of my aforementioned premixed strawberry (50 drops) with the lemonade (30 drops) and a 1 drop of sour.
doesnt taste very close to what i was hoping for.
any suggestions?

Been there done that, but with a different battery. Once you realize the battery is missing panic ensues.... :ohmy: :confused: :blink: :laugh:

Um..... er.... ah....

Not really a menthol fan, i do have koolada which might be a good and refreshing addition!
im gonna play around with it a bit and try adding some sweetener and some sour. is it counter productive to add both?
Heck no! Two of my (only) three good recipes use both. Agreed about the lemon juice. Good on most all fruit flavors. A touch of .9% NaCl helps promote flavor too.

#3 Hi Prism! Welcome! Hope you enjoy our little neurotic corner of ECF. As crazy as the Mad Hatter's tea party, but also just as much fun!!

LD, I will make you a bottle or two and bring it to the vapemeet, if I don't see you before that. And listen to glassman. Too much flavoring is worse than not enough. Start low. You can always add, but you can't take it out once its in there.

5. 7/29 - I've heard that the new (official) Kicks will go up to 15 watts. When they come out, I expect the current Kicks and Stomps (the clones) will go down in price depending on the price of the new model.

@jpf880- 30mg? Whatever floats your boat, but that would wipe me out. I started at 24mg 7 months ago, I'm down to 15mg max. I can't drip anything above 12 mg, 10mg works just fine. I don't mix or buy anything above 12mg anymore, and I'm hoping to continue cutting back. I'm vaping between 3 and 5ml a day. How many milliliters are you going through?
Thats me as well, started at 24 and now cant vape above 12. i have a couple 6ers that i have in reserve for when i step down (or fire up the RDA) :)

started yesterday and four pages already!!
well i have a job interview tomorrow, at that place I didn't want to apply to.
Congrats!! and Good Luck!!
...................................... :)
Great advice! I kept thinking 15% was optimum for all my flavors, but i think you are right, it needs to be diluted! should i put some PG in them? if i do, how will i know what ratio(%) of flavoring is in them? if i add 1ml of PGorVG, to a ~5ml bottle, that would cut the flavoring % by 20 right?
This would turn 15% flavoring into 12%?
It would also cut my nic, but thats ok, as long as i am not over 12 :)

Hi Prism!

I have to figure out which lemon juice to add, i have two to choose from, but neither are the lemon shaped bottle :)

congrats mrpicc!
speaking of 2.. i have 2 interviews :)

if they ask what you are looking to make, say the other job offered you more and ask them to match it :)

I keep some unflavoured nic-mix at 20mg/ml just to dilute when I overdose on flavor.
NaCl is sodium chloride...salt.
I use a pharmaceutical-grade saline sol'n, just a couple drops per bottle to activate the receptors on my tongue. Bonus, it helps stave-off vape-tongue a touch. Just like one drop/2ml or so for most... more for savory(chocolate, caramel, etc...) flavors.
I saw a big debate about it and tried it. Being a salt-aholic, I did notice a diff.

It took some real searching to find it....
When I asked @ Walgreen's they told me I needed a prescription... for salt-water?

I found Arm and Hammer, Simply Saline-baby... 0.9% saline in purified water. No propellants or other nastiest in it. It's under pressure so I squirted some in a 5ml dropper and I'm set!
