Yes I still Smoke Cigarettes and I am addicted to the smoking habit - support and chat thread.

Oh, but please do laugh. Go and laugh loud and long and hard. I am laughing at me. I am so used to dripping that it never occurred to me that my 510 atty was not on my spinner. I am staring at the Evod wondering what is wrong. And it takes TIME for me to figure out it is an Evod and not my 510 atty. I am watching the liquid dribble down the clear mouthpiece and it does not sink in. I actualllly tried to take a hit off the thing and had to look at it AGAIN to see what was wrong.

I thought it was hilarious. I am looking at the Evod and trying to figure out why my atty is not working.

Can you say User Error. Think I should go start a Thread and see if someone can help me??? Wonder how many responses I get before someone figures it out or tells me to buy a Provari. Maybe I need a Reo, I can squonk and get juice on the ceiling. I am an enthusiastic vaper, I will have you know.

Well the first story was funny and I did giggle, but I'm laughing out loud at this recount. This sounds so much like me and something I would/do do on a regular basis.

I'm enjoying all of this juice talk even if I'm not posting much about it, please keep it up as I am learning tons.

I not even going to try and get caught up, too many pages, too little time. Instead I will just say hello, and hope that everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend.

I've decided to get back into DIY but I am refusing to buy anything until after I move into a new house. No sense in buying all this stuff, just to move it to another state.

Hi glad to see you pop in and I hope you are feeling better. I think you are wise not to move anything you don't have to.

Oh, I would do this in a heartbeat. If you do, please post a link.

What did we do before Shari?!?




Hey GTS, long time no see ..... feeling any better?

 

[Erised]

Finally! I'm off of work! I'd do a happy dance if I had enough energy left. I had a lovely 14 hour day the other day to help break up the monotony of so many 10 hour shifts. Weeks like this remind me that I'm not REALLY 23 anymore.

To those new to our little group here,

-- I'm sorry I didn't reply individually, but I'm just too tired. I'll try to catch up on posts sometime this week - maybe.

I hope everyone has been having a wonderful weekend! I feel like I keep missing everything.

Now see, I did not taste the cream in your Wowza Coffee. I tasted the coffee and the sugar on the inhale. Hmmmm. I am going to have to taste it again. How could I miss the cream?

I don't even know if this would be worthy of experimentation, but it is the quickest, cheapest and easiest idea I have right now. Do you have a Starbucks near you? I do not know the quantity of liquid you need to start with, but, go and buy a double or triple espresso, just straight up espresso, nothing added. Can you start something with that liquid? They usually have several types of coffee beans. Or just buy some of their beans and have it ground for espresso. Right after they open in the morning is usually the best time to get it because they clean their grinders and espresso machines before the start of the shift. Would this work as a base for your extraction? Can you reduce it down to a base?

I don't know enough about what is involved to be of much help to you. Lox knows his coffee and since you two have been brainstorming I am sure you have gotten past anything I can offer.

I want to be Shari when I grow up. I'll just never get the hang of dripping. . .

On the other hand, that was kind of humorous, I promise I'm not laughing at you!

Wow, I can't believe you really got all those impressions out of that Wowza Coffee. That tears it, my tastebuds are not 1/10th as refined as yours.

For this extraction I used store-bought already-ground Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Spice Coffee. Extracted in vg/distilled water at a ratio of 80/20. It smells heavenly, but it doesn't translate over into a strong flavor. Lox and I kicked around a couple ideas on how to extract using water alone, but I never got around to trying it yet. It's on the back burner waiting on inspiration.

The recipe for the Wowza is 15% coffee extract, 5% sweet cream, and a drop of sweetener. I tried it all the way up to 100% extract, no extra vg or pg, and it still tastes the same. Good, but weak.

Oh, and I noticed the Elite Vapors French Roast burns the heck out of my coils within one tankful. I don't know if it's due to the color or the sugars, but it starts to taste real nasty real fast when using it in a clearo. Best to drip in small doses, methinks.

Still dealing with the headache (ugh) but it's not super bad right now so I'm not complaining.

Ugh Erised, a 14 hour shift is looooong workday. You should have a margarita or something.

I am being good. I had another piece of sushi and am making another cup of tea. No cookie, no credit card. And it is the first of September, so I am going to see how long I can last. I think I can make it the month. I just got those flavorings and I traded for a bunch of different juices and I bought 2 30ml bottles of NLV Renegade so I should be fine this month. I now have my 2 original spinners and 2 new blue winders so something will always be charged, even if I forget to charge one. So I am set for now. I just can not click ANY links or look at anything interesting.

Good luck with that!

As for steeping - I think what I said was other than tobaccos steeping doesn't make much difference. So to elaborate if I don't like a juice right away I won't like it after steeping. If it tastes like sweat socks steeping it only makes it taste like old sweat socks.
Too many vendors mix crap juice and will tell you "oh it needs to steep" then a month later when it still reeks will say "oh it's too late now it's been a month". I know from DIY that although the flavor may get a bit stronger or more pronounced after a bit - if it sucks after you mix it it sucks after steeping.
I think a lot of people's taste buds come back to life so that bottle they tried in their first few days off cigarettes tastes different a few weeks later not because the juice fairies magically transformed it but because their taste buds came back. Just my

Oh and alcohol will evaporate with the lid off.

I half-way agree. I've had some juices that a week or so of steeping improved greatly (I think the flavors needed to mix/combine). On the other hand, I have some juices here that are 4 years old -- and the ones that were nasty 4 years ago haven't improved one bit -- they still taste the same-- disgusting! I can still (literally) taste the same disgusting flavor notes in them.

Okay now. Somebody else's turn to do something fun, or dumb or exciting and post and share here. I did my part for the evening and I think my contribution gives me at least a week off. If I can make it that long without doing one of the above.

 

[Erised]

I think for some of us (i.e. me), getting vapemail is part of what keeps us vapinng.

I'll confess --I love vape mail, and yes, looking forward to it, and trying out new flavors and equipment help with the journey. Some days it's been all that has kept me from going back to smoking totally. It gives me the possibility that eventually I'll get this all figured out again, and I'll be able to put down these last few cigs.

2 glasses of wine with dinner tonight -- I'm still sipping on the second (much needed!) glass.

I would imagine I'll do something stupid soon, I rarely go too long without doing something of that nature or having a klutz attack or something, lol.
Speaking of doctoring juices I wonder what you could add to cherry balsam tobacco to make it vapable, tastes like Robitussin without the alcohol jolt.

wow, I missed a lot today! Good evening everyone! I am still going strong! woot woot !!!!!!!!!!!!I have every tank off and dripping on all mods...mixing flavors to make some better. Some are good on their own. Thank you to everyone that sent me the gifts, I couldn't do it without you! At 10 mls a day I will be ok for a while. I just hope that # declines over time!
What kind of cream do you mix with coffee? I have a 30 ml dekang coffee yuck! it needs help. Do I need sucrolose to sweeten stuff or something else?
I will have to learn this. Apparently with all the discarded juice or boxes of juice you all have gotten rid of, I will have to make juice myself to find what I need.
I learned I like cherry, lime ,coconut, peach, banana besides the vanillas,coffees caramels and butterscotch. I should say I like most flavors wish they were more intense.
I also think I will have to go to vendors that offer extra flavor when I can afford to again.

I do stuff like that all the time! I put drip tips on bottles and caps on dripper all day

Honey, you aren't the only one...during the week I totally feel like there's no way I can keep up. And that's when things get rowdy around here!
