I must say, "back in the day" (before DIY), Mentha was my go to! By far, The Best ready made menthol! I haven't bought pre made juice in forever, but there are a few new VT juices that I've had my eye on. Glad to see the store back up and running!

I'm pretty sure everyone will have a different answer as to how long 30mls last them. I know that's not what you're looking for, but honestly it's different for everyone. I vape a whole lot more than I smoked, so 30 ml's doesn't last me very long. Maybe 4 or so days. But my friend would have the same 30 ml's for weeks. My suggestion would be to get sample packs of flavors from various vendors, find what you like, and go from there. I second the suggestion to stay away from big bottles of flavors until you know you like them!

Your regular one will work.

Using "Mike's method" I made a batch of unflavored. My mix I only add an even 2 ml's of flavor (or flavor + pg) to make 10 ml's total. Today I mixed up: vanilla cupcake-5% flavor seems to be enough, tastes exactly like a vanilla cupcake, complete with frosting-keeper root beer- again 5% is enough, also a keeper.. This ones an atty tainter though, that root beer flavor is lingering through several flavor switches. and cinnamon sugar cookie -also 5% flavor, might add some more but going to let it sit for a few to see if it gets stronger. It's supposed to taste like a snicker doodle...it faintly does, but it sorta has a light coconut taste to me. Sweet, light vanilla taste, I don't taste cinnamon at all. Like I said, going to let it sit, see if it changes. It "is" good, but its not a snicker doodle. All the flavors are from Perfumers Apprentice. I did make another, not sure if it worked yet, lol. I mixed French vanilla, caramel candy, and clear double chocolate. It sounded like a good idea at the time! It needs bailey's or kalua! The chocolate is really good, though.

Could be the juice. I've used those attys on ego batteries and depending on the vendor, flavor, and strength, throat hit changed. Some juices are just stronger than others.

Mike-what an incredibly easy way to mix! Love it! I've been making the same plain menthol for years, but just received some new flavors today. Definately going to figure out how strong to make my unflavored base so that adding 20% will make the right end strength. How simple is that?!?! (I'm having a total "duh!" moment!)

Just ordered a bunch of DIY flavors and diluting liquids from Perfumers apprentice. 2 purple spinners, 2 EVODs, and replacement heads for EVODs from myvaporstore. As a side note, one of the spinners i got a few weeks ago from them died within a week. I sent an email and they promptly sent an apology email and included the shipping label to return it. I think it's awesome when vendors not only replace stuff, but don't make you pay the return shipping.

I agree with the others who've said go ahead and have one. I remember having a craving like that. There came a day that I was taking a day trip with my mom who's a smoker. I had made up my mind that I was going to bum one from her. As it turned out, as soon as she lit one, the smell of it changed my mind. You're probably making your craving worse. I think you'll take a few hits and realize you don't really want it.

I use myfreedomsmokes.com for unflavored Nic. They send out emails and Facebook messages with sales pretty regularly. Most of my flavors come from Perfumers Apprentice.

I've used Perfumer'S Apprentices menthol for a few years. Love it! Recently, a friend of mine wanted to try her hand at Diy'ing. She got the vanilla cupcake and a clove from there. Both were excellent! I have also used the double ry4 and Asian ry4, also both good. I love the descriptions of favors on that sight, they're spot on! Also love the tiny $1.50 bottles to try new flavors. I remember years ago, it was pretty common to use 15-20% flavoring, but I know with the handful of flavors from PA that I've used, that would be Way to much. I started Diy'ing because I couldn't find a menthol that was strong enough. I use 5% on all the flavors from there and 5% comes out pretty strong!

At that point, I'd probably leave them on the charger overnight. I've had some that take 4-6 hrs to charge. They already don't work, nothing to lose! Good luck!

I've had a couple of bad chargers thru the years. Do you have another charger to try? I've also had a few batteries that had a mind of their own. I'd have to play around with disconnecting and reconnecting to the charger, clean the top of the batt, try again, repeat till it worked. But on those, the light wouldn't turn red, I'd have to keep trying til I got the red light.

I love the EVOD! I had given up on carts and tanks a while ago. Direct dripping spoiled any kind of attempt at "easier!" Lol. Not sure if it would behave the same on a regular batt, though. I have it on the Spinner set at 4.3. The only downside I've noticed is that it's a juice hog...or maybe it's just small (?) I would definately buy again and recommend. The drip shield is doing its job, too. I don't notice any difference in th draw, but it is keeping the juice from leaking. Although, I never really had leaking issues with the egos. Maybe the occasional seepage from the bottom edge of the cone, but nothing like the 510's! I have the regular cone shaped purple shield (around $6, I think) and I got the black empire mod newer one (around $12 or $13) with the ridges. I think I like the black one a bit better...I don't know why. Lol! It's weird, my only complaint is silly. It shouldn't make any difference, but it makes the strangest most irratating sound when you take a hit with either of the shields on! It's almost like when my kids (or me even) have a stuffy/snotty nose. Especially when you first drip, the first second or two of the draw, until you burn off some of the juice. Maybe I should drop a drip or two less! Lol. I feel like if I use this around anyone, they'll start handing me tissues and yelling at me to blow my nose!

Thanks! This morning I placed an order thru Empire mods for 2 drip shields. I've exclusively direct dripped for 3 years on lr attys. Its crazy how much new stuff is out there! I've also got a Kangor EVOD on the way with the Spinners...should be here either today or tomorrow.

I bought these a few months ago (except mine are 2.1-2.4 lr, which I don't see there anymore) http://www.myfreedomsmokes.com/parts-accessories/ego-parts/ego-cartomizers/vision-ego-clearomizer-v3-long-wicks-aka-ce4-or-stardust/ They've tasted burnt every time I've tried them. I've let them sit, rolled them around, taken dry hits, blown thru them...you name it, I've tried it! I read somewhere later that menthol burns easily in them. Idk. I've given them another shot yesterday, and they seem to be behaving. I just can't chain vape them. lol
