Banana Cream has a lot of mint flavor.
Compenstine replied to Vic's topic in DIY e Liquid Discussion
That is not a easy thing to do. What I like you may hate, What I hate you may love. What I can suggest is getting a Flavor pack from TFA. https://shop.perfumersapprentice.com/c-116-flavor-packs.aspx Or their larger box of 140 15ml flavors for $172. (You need to request access to the Bulk Section to view this item) https://shop.perfumersapprentice.com/p-7550-box-of-140-15ml-bottles.aspx List of Flavors Included: https://shop.perfumersapprentice.com/Images/15%20ml%20flat%20list.pdf -
Bump when you get something in vape mail.

I could not have said it better Tam. Glad you like it Deez! :D -
Take the class Mech Mods are basically just a tube and a battery. You would need to buy batteries and a charger. This is some good info on batteries http://www.vaportalk.com/forum/topic/27268-what-is-the-best-18650-battery-available/ An RDA or Rebuildable Drip Atomizers come in a wide range of styles and what is best is always debatable. I should add that a good Variable Mod like the Heat Vape Invader, or JoyTech eVic VT would also work with the RDA and get the job done.

You would want a Mech and an RBA. If you are not already building coils then you would want to start learning how to build them too. It is what I and most DIYer's use to test flavors. All you need to do to change flavors is Dry Burn and Re Wick then test a new flavor.

You can always get a refill... Then you would have some to share and some to stash away. -
I just posted a comment to that. @Patrick Meeks: Then maybe they (The FDA) should pass out free e-cigarettes in the name of harm reduction. Instead they want to kill the industry. Now there is a message sent on how much they care about "Harm Reduction." Now this is just Funny! LMAO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKXKzbcYOJk

Whhoot Glad you liked it Earthling. -

Compenstine replied to Vic's topic in DIY e Liquid Discussion
No, it would just dilute the over all flavor. -

Compenstine replied to Vic's topic in DIY e Liquid Discussion
Not really. You could try adding more pg/vg, but you would need to bump up the Banana Cream to keep it from being diluted too. I'm almost sure the mint would still be to strong and you would just be wasting PG/VG and flavoring trying to fix it. -
FDA Deeming Regulations of Vapor Products Moves Forward The planned “deeming regulation,” with which the FDA will assume regulatory authority over e-cigarettes, has finally started moving forward again. It is now under review at the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), the White House office that is tasked with making sure regulations create more benefits than costs. There is little doubt that the proposed regulation will eliminate the legal market for 99.99% -- perhaps even 100% -- of the products over which FDA asserts jurisdiction after a grace period. (The grace period in last year’s draft version of the regulation was two years.) There is an unconfirmed rumor that FDA will attempt to ban all non-tobacco flavors almost immediately. CASAA is currently working on our presentation to OIRA at a meeting that is scheduled for December 15, 2015. This is a process in which we and other petitioners are required to provide analysis to OIRA without the benefit of seeing the exact current regulation. However, we have every reason to believe that it is, unfortunately, basically the same as the draft FDA published last year. As of now, it is our assessment that OIRA altering or rejecting this proposed regulation is the best hope of saving the diverse e-cigarette marketplace until Congress changes the law. (Please note that some have suggested that individual vapers try to schedule meetings with OIRA. We are not recommending this to our members. We are, however, asking consumers to submit their stories as part of CASAA’s Testimonials Project. We will be sharing those testimonials with OIRA at our meeting next month.) You will find some of ongoing analysis of the current situation posted by CASAA's Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Carl Phillips, on his antiTHRlies blog. Already posted are why this is not really regulation (but rather a ban pretending to be regulation) and why the history of FDA’s actions (and the US government more generally) related to low-risk smokeless tobacco suggest that FDA will not behave moderately or rationally once it has authority. If you want to read about the implications of FDA regulation in more depth, check out CASAA’s comment on the draft version of the regulation (pdf). Watch For CASAA's Survey We will be launching a survey of our members that will provide critical information we can present to OIRA. Please watch for the invitation to participate and then do so. This is an important survey that could make a real difference, but we will need members to participate!

Exactly, he would have to lower his total mg of nicotine over all to get a higher VG. By doing that he cuts the amount of overall PG in the mix so he can raise his VG content.
-
I do as well but, as you said, I work with 100% 100mg VG base as well. I have a lot of high VG customers and I just can not achieve a high VG ratio unless I use a VG Base for the nic.
-
At 72mg Nic this would be his mix for 30ml. Notice the Ratio: If he diluted his Nic base to say 50mg with PG this would be the resulting PG/VG ratio for the same mix:
-
That would only make a higher PG ratio because he would be adding more of the nicotine base to get his 16mg.
-
I agree, I have been doing this since 2009 and still figure out ways or find new info on doing Juice.
-
That is one thing I like about TFA and now most flavoring companies I use list that stuff. Almost all your mint flavorings have Triacetin, some fruits do as well. I have less problems with Triacetin than I do oils. FXRich is correct though it does not mix well with VG. I can mix it with high PG juice and not have an issue. As soon as you add VG it will cloud. I don't know what additive it is/was, but some flavorings, when you add VG, turn to jell. Haven't had that issue in a very long time though.
-
Yes I do but only have small amounts when it comes to flavorings and have to charge more than Wizard Labs. http://www.fadoravapor.com
-
Wizard Labs is a re-seller of other companies flavors. They have a section with flavorings that contain no PG.
-
Basically: PG = Throat Hit and Flavor Carrier VG = Vapor (smoke) Nic = Throat Hit and Cravings I would suggest switching to 100% VG base next time you get Nicotine. This way you are adding PG when you want too, not because you have too. It also has a better shelve life and It will not oxidize (turn brown) as quickly. It will be very hard to get 16mg out of 72mg PG based NIC and get much better than a pg30/70vg ratio. That is not a bad place to start, but If you want more vapor than that will give you. you will need a VG Base Nicotine.

Dark flavors can gunk up a coil fast. They also shorten the life a coil. A lot of the baking flavorings you can by in a store can do the the same. Some contain oils that can also be bad to vape. If you are going to buy flavorings from a store stick with Lorrans or, check and make sure there are no additives like oil or preservatives that can be harmful if vaped.
-
Lemon Juice (Real Lemon) from the store has preservatives in it and not good to vape. Some preservatives are toxic when heated.
