Had some others that I've sold or given away but this is what I right now but always planning more. This is an overview of my juice and equipment shelves Here is the closeups I much prefer glass for holding my ready to vape or not as the case may be. Various bits and pieces that tend to accumulate. I keep my PG/VG in 2 each blue jars, My Nic in Amber jars, and Premixed in a Amber jar. These are 9 oz. short wide mouth glass jars Seem to work better for me easier to siphon out liquid and less chance of tipping over. Here are some of my flavors for DIY Can you tell I like Wizard Labs. Some more flavors including VZ super concentrated and lorann's plus other brands. Also syringes, pipettes, and plastic boxs for everything else. A couple of projects that I so far have not had time to do are make a stand for PV's. and a small wood cabinet to hold all vaping supplies. Hopefully soon. What do you folks think? Kinda OCD right. Thanks for looking all comments and or critiques are appreciated.

    6 from Mt Baker Vapor

    All juice 65/35 pg/vg 12mg. Dripped with Vision Spinner 4v on a 2ohm unbridged Atty. Steeped - Overnight no caps on bottles. Keep in mind my juice bounces across the US in the back of a truck so may be steeped a bit more then yours. Price and Shipping - The prices are great! That's all i can say. Shipping is fantastic as well. You receive email notifications every step of the way following your order from it being received to your juice shipping. I ordered on Wed 3/20, order was shipped Thu 3/21. Packaging is good. Child resistant caps. Printed labels with juice specs and manf date, except the sample, which is handwritten. Not a big deal with that as it's probably what do we have extra to give this nice guy who ordered from us at the time they are filling! Moo Juice - Definitely get a Strawberry Milk taste out of it. If i think about about while vaping it i can almost feel the milk consistently in my mouth. The throat hit isnt that great, but its strawberry milk! Flavor is good, and vapor is on par. Pretty tasty right out of the bottle with the short steep. Double Apple - Good tart crisp apple taste. Small acidic hit right at the first taste followed by the fresh apple.Throat hit is average, flavor good, another day or so. Vapor is good. Be good to find a Mild-Med Tobacco and make a Applewood! Peach Tobacco - Well it's peach and not the fresh fruit kind. Almost like Peach Snapple, can almost taste the artificial peach flavoring. The background tobacco taste is nice tho. Hopefully the peach flavoring issue will fade with a little more steeping. Throat hit is small for a tobacco flavor. Vapor is good. RY4 - Tobacco is very nice, needs more steeping will come back to this one in a few days. Cantaloupe (Free sample) Its cantaloupe alright. Not much throat hit, again fruit. Flavor is there and vapor is good. Not my cup of tea. Caramel Candy - Yes! Exactly what it is. Reminds me of the kraft caramel candies. Sweetness and caramelly goodness. Will be a great mixer. Throat is ok and vapor is good. Overall rating - Thumbs up from me. Not one juice that tasted bad or chemically in anyway. I will order again from Mt baker!

    Husband has emphysema

    My husband was diagnosed with early stage emphysema a few years ago and since then he's been telling me that in order for him to quit smoking I need to quit. I can't say that I was ever into the idea of quitting because to be honest I enjoyed smoking. But I bought a couple of the n-joy kits about 5 years ago and gave it a shot, needless to say that was a complete flop what I enjoyed about smoking just wasn't there. Then he was gone in Afghanistan for a few years so I didn't worry about trying to quit. He returned home about a year ago and he's being treated by the VA, well they finally gave him Chantix (I'm not so sure he really wants to quit). My daughter has a friend on facebook who was talking about this place she found local (Buckeye Vapors). I went and checked out what they had to offer..so much has changed since I bought the first n-joy's and for the better. I ended up spending almost $200 to get us both set up with stuff to start these are so much better the liquid with cartomizers is so much better than the other stuff I get the throat hit think that's what was missing before. First few days I went from 2 packs a day to 5 analogs a day had the typical sore throat for about 2 weeks woke up one morning and it was gone. My husband on the other hand, we've gone back to Buckeye Vapors and got him other flavors, stronger nicotine I've tried to explain to him about the sore throat and that if he'd just cut way back on the analogs and only use the e-cig and give it two weeks the sore throat would be gone but he doesn't believe me. I can't believe I've figured out how I can quit (the reluctant one) and he's still going at the analog cigarettes. I'm not giving up my e-cigs it's nice to be able to breath when I wake up in the morning without the stuffy head and it's easier to breath period. Wish me luck on this journey because I think it's going to be a rough one to help him get him off the analogs and onto something that will be better for him.

  5. My name's Bettina. I got into "vaping" by going into an e-cig store to get a disposable e-cig since I normally smoke Marlboro's but won't smoke in my car. The girl working there talked me into this vapor system yesterday (sorry, I'm so new I don't know the terms for anything yet, except the chocolate-hazelnut nicotine I got with my starter kit - yummy!). I'm so in: vaping yes, Marlboro's no!

  6. were you able to try on more than one battery? I have had a couple that after I screwed them on, I had to unscrew them about a 1/4 turn.... But it does sound like you got some duds....it does happen occasionally. I would contact the supplier and let them know, I am certain they would replace them....I know its a pain, but duds sneak through now and again.

    LOL thank you! Practicing on the IGO-L has made me feel much more confident on wrapping and mounting the coil, which all along has seemed like the most intimidating part. From here all i *think* all i need to worry about is building the perfect wick. Whether infuriated or ecstatic, i'm sure you'll be hearing from me on this topic again soon

    You got it !!! Mostly I use the calculator to figure out my nicotine amounts...I use 100mg/ml. The calculator is also more useful for calculating larger amounts (10 or more ml's). When I'm mixing or playing with 3mls or less I just add a few drops at a time to taste. Don't forget to write it down !!!! Trust me...it sucks when you can't remember how much you've added. I then use that to approximate the percentage to put into the calculator for my 30 ml mixes. always experiment with small amounts then calculate to larger. some flavors only take a couple drops (1-2%) some take alot more. When I am playing with multiple flavors I can end up with 20-30%. Welcome to your new addiciton BTW...Thanks for the screenshot instructions...going to give it a try.

    For the camera screenshot, if you have a smartphone, just click the Power button and the Home key both at the exact same time. Then go into the gallery, menu, send. I like to take snapshots after I zoom in a regular photo I've taken, for a good closeup shot. Otherwise, I zoom to take the pic in the first place, it comes out super blurry I wondered what the base nic would be after mixing it. Sweet! I've jotted all the numbers down into the app, and saved as "Kit's sample". Thank you so much!!! When I want, say, 20% flavoring, I assume I would make sure the numbers below the 20 avg out to a total of 20 right? Same for 10. Same for 30. 10% is my ideal I believe, for everyday vapes. By golly, I think I've got it. You rock Kitsune!

    Thank you SO MUCH! You did answer all my questions. I already bought a 100ft. roll of kanthal A1 32 off ebay bought it just this morning. Also bought a butane crem-bru-le (or however you spell that) torch yesterday. I figured i should go ahead and get a nice sized sheet of the mesh because i want to play around with using both the mesh and kanthal in my IGO-L until i finally decide and pull the trigger on a genny. That way i'll be all stocked up for it's arrival. I'll grab the same one you got, i trust your decision making lol. The website you provided seems to be by far the most bang for the buck. So far i'm using nichrome and silicka in my IGO-L, and it's working pretty well, but it gunks up fast and starts to perform pretty poorly. I'd like to play around with the different materials a bit and see if that changes it. Thanks so much again and i'll keep an eye out for the video!

    Hey Uma, I have a wick question for ya. You said earlier roughly 2mm by 3mm peice of mesh for a wick. In phils video's he's usually using around about 1 3/4" x 2", which is 44.45mm x 50mm give or take. His wicks look larger than most of the other videos i've watched, but not THAT much larger lol. Can you clarify the size of mesh for wicks? About what size do you usually use? Also, you noted the wicks can last as long as 6 months, which is awesome. About how many times would you rebuild your coil during the lifespan of 1 wick? Too many to count or just a couple? Lastly, when you rebuild your coil, will just a soak in vodka clean out the wick sufficiently? Thanks for all your help!

    Igo-L Dripper

    Thanks for all the info! That's sorta my plan, start out with the AGA T+ or T2 for the learning curve, then probably eventually step up to something a little more quality. I'll want more than one of these things floating around anyways

    In addition to math handicapped, I'm phone handicapped.....how about step by step.... with and 18mg base, you will end up with a 12mg liquid....unless you have a stronger base. nicotine base = 18 target nicotine amount = 12 amount to create = 3 amount of flavoring 1 = 10 amount of flavoring 2 = 3 amount of flavoring 3 = 3 amount of flavoring 4 = 3 scroll down to calculate recipe This app bases 1 ml = 20 drops you can use this to mix PG and VG percentages too. usually when I am playing with a new mix or new flavors....I taste test them in pg or vg no nicotine. about 1ml (20 drops), then add 3 drops of flavoring (about 10%) and decide if its too strong or too weak...add if needed. It gives me an idea of what my flavor percentage should be for the calculator.....for future receipes. I used to keep track of these in a small notebook. Not sure if any of this is making any sense.

    Obsessive progression

    Hi! I'm Aurora. ::: waves madly::: In February, my BFF gave me a disposable hookah for my birthday. I enjoyed it a LITTLE, but preferred my analog cigs. Then I discovered disposable cigs, and enjoyed them a LOT, enough to dump analog completely. The constant battery recharging led me to websites with not only big batteries, but big tanks, big bottles of eliquid, promises of big vapor and big taste. After brief research on youtube I went with the ego-T, then got the ego-CE5 upgrade, the Hitman passthru, and then got a big fatty 2400 mah battery, and then another cool looking 1300 mah one ... and I LOVE IT SO FREAKIN' MUCH I can hardly contain myself. Still making mistakes ... I stripped some threads, flooded some tanks, and etc. However ... OMG ... I love this stuff. Nice to meet you all, glad to have found such an informative and friendly vaping community. ::: hugs all :::: VVVVVVVVVV pix VVVVVVVVVVV At work, puffing my Hitman CE5 passthru, in my custom lanyard ecig purse.

    wick flavor problems

    Oh, you might need to keep the silica wicks from touching the bottom of your pot so a 'bath' (a water-filled bowl in the pot) will keep the silica away from direct heat. No guarantee on TOTAL success but it should diminish the old flavor anyway.

    wick flavor problems

    15 mins on a consistent boil is the sterilization procedure using distilled water. As long as no plastic or rubber parts (gaskets) are in there you should be fine.

  21. Well, I was starting to pack them up to return them and now one's working! I'll give it a day or two, maybe the other will too. I have a little less than 60 days to return them if they're still acting up. Arghh!
