OH HAPPY DAYS! IT"S FIXED ....well...they replaced it and are going to deal with Kangertech so I don't have to! WAH-HOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Shame on you Bebop for not getting the coffee Tam made for you Thanks for everything you two...You've been great!

We get silly around here, Edna, it's not really aimed at you but others before you who have had similar problems. After going through every trick we know, we've found out that the original poster got it from eBay or another place and the hardware was a knock off. Basically, we were laughing at ourselves. I'm glad you have a sense of humor that is just as twisted as ours. Taking it back to your B&M is a good idea. Even if there are no returns, they might be able to help you fix the issue or... they might make an exception and exchange your tank for you. Good luck! Just as aside -- Bebop never did come get his coffee after I made a whole pot just for him!

I get PG and VG from Bulk Apothecary, Nic an lab stuff from Wizard Labs Flavoring from The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) and Flavor West.

I get my Nic base, VG, and PG from Heartland Vapes. I get my flavors from Flavors West. Heartland Vapes has flavors from all the major flavor manufacturers, also. Why I get my flavors from Flavor West instead of getting them from HV I can't answer, its probably the same flavor.

. thanks, Tam! Edna, if your B&M is smart they will welcome you to bring it in and they will fix it for free right in front of you and will send you home happy and with a free bottle of juice or something. My my boiling water for a minute trick didn't work either? Hmmmmm.... time to pull out all the stops...... *rummaging through drawer looking for holy water, a silver bullet, there's a wooden stake around here somewhere....*

Or better yet... Craig's List!

Huh what huh??? I'm awake I'm awake !......and will be for a while. .... If it turns out to be some ebay thing...I'll be disappointed

I tried anything and everything to stop smoking over 30+ years. THE ONLY THING that got me off the stinkies was vaping. I had asthmatic bronchitis an average of 2x a winter when I smoked. I've been vaping since Feb. 2014 and HAVE NOT HAD BROHCHITIS or a cold since then! And I have allergies that used to be horrid, those symptoms are improved as well. VAPE! It works!

She is correct. They have had trouble all of my life with it. I live in a small town, 26 miles away and it is much better here. Like the saying goes we get 20 inches a year, and you should be here the day we get it! True! My wife is definatly the type that would have waded out there... The fire department luckily had it blocked off. Those pictures were taken in Lubbock. The forecast shows it has moved out for the next 10 days. I will never gripe about rain, but I am ready for it to clear out. The bible is drying out pretty good. It is definitely damaged, but salvageable. Thanks for the thoughts everyone!

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
