Ok so recently i posted a in the newbie forum about all the e-juice's & providers I had tried out over the last year as a newbie vaper. Well my list just got shorter now that I tried some juice from the "Vape Dudes". Right out of the box (delivered today) I have thus far tried the 'buttery nipple' & 'blue honey'. Hands down the best vape I have ever had the pleasure of tasting in my LIFE. These things havn't even gone through my mandatory 5-day steep yet. Just smooth, sweet, delicious....if there was such a thing as A, B & C grade juices...these guys have officially tested out of class. This is quite possibly 100x better tasting/smoother & just all around a better vape than anything else I have ever tried. If you havn't tried these people out yet....stop whatever your doing....and order something from them right now. Their stuff is officially replacing my Gorilla Juice. Only downside it took about 6-7 days for my juice to show up via USPS from Plano, TX to the East Coast. i got my juice in 16mg....30% PG / 70% VG (and added 'extra flavor' for both which had no additional cost) oh and i put on the order comment form that i was a new customer....& if they gave out free samples...i would love to try the 'ice flavor'. Well apparently they have 2 different types of "ice"... ICE ICE & BLUBERRY ICE. Instead of asking me which kind I wanted...they threw BOTH...both in 10ML bottles...for free yo! I don't know if this is something they usually do...but i asked..and i got 20ML of free samples. And it's not like I made a big order...i just got two 30ML bottles of Juice. if u havn't been & wanna check em out...u can type "vape dudes" into google or just go to this link i made the vape dudes The only way I could be wrong about these guys juices...is if they have spiked my E-juice with heroin & I'm simply addicted to E-opiates now. Oh & if you've been a vape dudes juice customer for awhile...please reply in this post with your favorite juice flavor so i can order some more to try out :-)

Well I've been vaping for almost a year now and I, for the first time have over vaped. I woke up about 3 hours ago. I haven't eaten yet but drank one cup of coffee. I've been hitting my pv almost the whole time I've been awake. My head is pounding, I've got heartburn and my stomach hurts...way to go me. I feel like an idiot. I'm only vaping 12mg juice and I guess this is my cue to drop it down to around 6mg. Blah I feel like garbage.

Okay Massachusetts!...Two weeks ago I bought a disposable Blu Cig. It wasn't bad, bought another. Kept buying cigarettes, because I LOVE smoking. Then I thought maybe there's something to these e-cigs. My wife, a non-smoker, mentioned that there was a store in town that (only) sold e-cigs. SOOOO, we went over, walked in, spoke to the gentleman behind the counter. He asked me about my smoking "habits", how much, how many, how long etc...I showed him the Blu Cig. He had mixed feelings about them, but it did get me to walk into his shop. Well after talking for about twenty minutes, I walked out with eGo system. Another customer recommended RY4 juice...Got it! LOVE it!..Have not had a cigarette in 4 days. NO cravings, actually like this better (a lot)....I've always liked smoking, I know I'm addicted to nicotine. I'm not doing this to "quit" smoking. To me this is an alternative. An alternative that I find MORE satisfying. I made the decision not to buy cigarettes again....OH! I forgot to mention, I've been smoking for 48 years (I can still hop on a bicycle and go for a 30 mile ride, do it quite a bit). Thanks for listening!

I think I'd blame it on the flu or something - not vaping. I don't blame vaping for anything. LOL Seriously, I hope you're feeling better by now. p.s. by dropping the mg, you can vape more.

haha, yeh, I had to drop my mg too with the Genesis atty. It really delivers! I hope you feel better soon.

It is a repost but no worries, we still need as much coverage as possible. Also, welcome to VT!

Weird went to edit my last post and it created another. Damn tapatalk. Well guess I'll do it this way. These guys are using clay, tru stone, carbon fiber, wood, and kanthal wire. Now we're talkin!

Gotta get me some of these. Now those are drip tips.

I'm tempted to order the temon and keep the mini did for myself hehe win win

I'm looking at the link for the SS mesh now. There are too many options, lol. Which one is the best deal? Are they just different sizes or different material? lol I see the 400 and 500 but there are several options for each. Which one have you ordered in the past? Just curious.

That's also it in a nutshell! The Genesis produces wonderful consistent vapor at the basic 32gauge #400mesh and the 30/500 adds a bit more flavor. Every juice is different... and being able to fine tune our attys into our favorite juice... priceless! They're all good vapes!! Can't argue that. It's just fine tuning from there. No fighting, just experimental brainstorming.

I'm still enjoying a great vape while yall duke this out! Here here! Cheers to wire gauge battles! ;)

From what I understand it should be kept in a cold place and in a light-blocked glass bottle. Personally, I usually buy 120ml bottle that lasts me several months and I keep it the original plastic bottle and no refrigeration.

Also what voltage are you using with what ohm atomizer? Plays a huge role in throat hit. As far as vendors please try http://www.aliceinvapeland.com order their "A little bit of everything" sample pack. I haven't met anyone who ordered it that didn't find at least 2 or 3 flavors they didn't fall in love with. I'm really picky when it comes to juice. I vaped the same juice every day for over a yr. without finding something I could vape for more than an hr. without switching back and I fell in love with 4 flavors from AIV. Shipping right now takes a really long time though as they have just moved their entire shop across country. Takes 10-14 days to ship but it's mixed to order and well worth it.

I do like the ceramic tips as well, but the plastic ones are probably just a little less likely to break on me when I'm clumsy.

I've only tried a ceramic ming. I agree with mse12 in that it feels great on the lips....especially when it's cold! I just picked up 3 more! Lol

Good answers, i too have been curious about some of nice glass trippy tips, but i'm far too clumsy, it'd be broken within a week

Hopefully Last but not least...... Supplies: 1.Empty dropper bottles- 3ml, 5ml, 10ml sizes are great for mixing. 2. Pipette or syringe with blunt needle. Personally, I prefer using a syringe for mixing--More accurate. 3. paper towel or rag for handling any spills or messes 4. Labels are good for identifying your new mixes. If using paper labels I have found that applying scotch tape over the label keeps the label legible. 5. mixing calculator helps with acheiving the correct nicotine strength. There are other calculators out there, but I like Todd Muellers: http://www.todmuller.com/ejuice/ejuice.php . I usually put my flavor at 30 - 40%. I like lots of flavor. Mixing -can be simple (combining premixed liquids to create a new flavor) or more complicated, mixing from scratch. Or somewhere in between. 1. Always start your mixing or experimentation with small amounts. Its much easier to throw out a small amount of liquid if it turns out bad. The 3ml bottles are great for experimenting. 2. Its a good idea to keep track of what and how much you have added to your mix--just in case you want to make more. **It is easy enough to mix 2 or more premixed liquids together to get a new flavor. This is easiest if you are using the same nicotine strength. i.e.- Tobacco 18mg/Watermelon 18mg/menthol 18mg/pina colada 18mg. The amounts would depend on taste. Start with 5 drops of each in a 3ml bottle, shake and vape--can adjust the flavor as you want by adding more of one of the flavors. with the menthol--using just 1-2 drops/3ml will give a nice cool throat hit without tasting like menthol. ** Can use PG/VG or both to cut a higher strength liquid. i.e.- 24mg premixed liquid 1ml can be mixed with 1ml PG or VG to make 12mg/ml liquid. If cutting a premixed flavor, keep in mind, it will also decrease the flavor. If you don’t want the flavor loss you can cut with 0 nicotine strength in the same or a different flavor. You can also use flavorings to boost the flavor. use the calculator to determine how much PG/VG to use to achieve the desired strength. Just put 0 in the water and flavor boxes. ** Adding Flavoring to premixed liquids This is actually one of the easiest forms of mixing and is a great place to start the DIY journey. We all have flavors we don’t really care for, but by adding flavoring you can create a flavor you like. Keep in mind--when adding flavoring it will dilute the nicotine strength of the premixed liquid. one way around this is to get some unflavored higher nicotine liquid- i.e. 36mg that can be added to your mix to keep the nicotine strength at your desired level. My preferred nicotine level is 12mg/ml--so I will use that dose for mixing examples. i.e.-- cappuccino 36mg/ml, 1.7ml + FlavourArt apple pie flavoring 1.5ml + VG 1.8ml for a total of 5ml 12mg/ml. This is where the calculator comes in handy. Just put in the numbers, hit enter and the calculations are done for you. This is where having a syringe is helpful. However if you are using drops, I have found that 30 drops of PG = 1ml and 20 drops of VG = 1ml. You can use more than one flavoring: cappuccino 1.7ml + apple pie flavoring 1ml + Vanilla 1ml + VG 1.3 ml = 5ml 12mg/ml Don’t be afraid to mix more than one flavor. When cooking, most dishes require more than one flavor to get the right taste. ** mixing from scratch You will need PG and/or VG Unflavored Nicotine liquid ( I usually use 36mg/ml) Flavorings of choice i.e. Easy Watermelon 12mg/ml 3 ml PG or VG 1 ml Lorann Watermelon flavoring 2 drops Menthol flavoring (Flavourart) 2 ml 36mg/ml Unflavored liquid i.e. using multiple flavors: Apple Pie (6ml) 18mg/ml 3 ml 36/mg unflavored 1 ml FlavourArt(FA) Apple Pie 6 drops (Flavourart) Irish Cream 2 drops (FA) perique black (tobacco) 3 drops (FA) menthol .5ml PG .5ml VG 3 drops hazelnut 6 drops vanilla ** Misc Notes Tobacco Flavorings are very, very strong--a little goes a very long way. A couple drops to 5ml will give a nice background flavor. If using more, add a drop or 2 at a time to taste. Lorann flavorings are very concentrated. You would use less Lorann than you would with other flavorings. Avoid flavorings with oils or sugars--both can damage your atomizer. If you find your mix needs to be sweeter there are a couple of options: 1. Loranns cotton candy or Marshmallow flavorings are great for adding sweetness. 2. DIY flavor shack carrys Eythol Malto which is a sweetener. 3. I actually prefer the Lorann--overall sweeter tasting. 4. I add a few drops of Menthol to all my mixes-adds a cool throat hit and enhances the flavor. Just a little does not taste like menthol. If you like menthol, just add more. 5. always start mixing with small amounts and keep track of what and how much. 6. For taste testing--dripping works best. Mixing is a lot of trial and error in the beginning. Add flavoring a little at a time until you find the balance you like will help keep waste to a minimum. I am hoping others will be able to add their tips and ideas. the above is just my own opinion and my own experience. If all or part of this is confusing please let me know-writing documents is not my strong suit !!!! Merry Mixing
