Apple Crumb Cake Apple - CK products Cake Batter - Blue Mist Marshmallow - Loranne's Frothy Toffy Coffee - Blue Mist Cinnamon - Lorane's Until I pick up some FArt and PA and other things I gotta make due with what I've got. This is not bad at all but I wouldn't bring it to a bake-off. The CK products I use work really well but more often than not the flavors are better suited for a candy shop. I bought these and Loranne's off the shleves in town a long time ago and am determined to use them.

Good tip maverick. You said: Dry burn it. Take a small utensil (I use a laptop repair tiny screwdriver) and pry the spike from the atty body. Insert body back onto holding cup and place cone as usual. Hit the buttton for 3-5 seconds and watch for the smoke. Blow the smoke away, repeat until you see the red glow all across the coil. You will now have grey ash on the coil which is the burned away VG juice residue. I use a trimmed back flux brush (.50 at local hardware) to brush away the residue. Atty will come back to life and is now good to go. That worked really good. Sometimes I have had issues with wicking so i pulled out the material around the coil and the metal mesh out of the spike. This didn't help the wicking, it might have made it worse, but when the juice is there I get the most vapor and flavor I've ever got on an eGo of any kind. The metal mesh will probably help it wick and won't hurt vapor production so I wouldn't recomend taking it out. I was just experimenting. Drawing without pressing the button will bring juice to the coil if it seems dry. Fusiontech and Mommy McG: Hope you got you're eGo's are working for you. They're not the easiest e-cig to start out with.

Looking For A Vv Passthru That I Saw Somewhere?
Mike replied to grillman65's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I found a VV device that plugs into my car lighter. 3,6,9 and 12v. I made a conection holder out of wood and added a button. It works awsome on 6v and regular-like on 3v. Don't know what it was from, I found it in a dumpster! -
That's a 1973 Gibson SG and it's been played hard by me for about 20 years. I have several other axes but this is still my #1. I had the alien airbrushed on many years ago my VT avitar is a modified version of that. Mark's wood looks alot like like the wood in my guitar but this mod is Osage Orange, a japanese wood. The guitar is mahogany, and the table is oak, lol. The mod in the middle and the one on the left are two versions of homemade 4 X AA if anyone was wondering.

This mixing calculator can determine what you have if you mix up to 5 different juices with different mg, ml, and vg/pg% There's also a cost calculator. http://www.ecigvape.com/combine_calc.php?i=2&an=E-Liquid+1&abz=10&az=36&ap=60&bn=E-Liquid+2&bbz=10&bz=24&bp=20&cn=E-Liquid+3&cbz=10&cz=18&cp=0&dn=E-Liquid+4&dbz=10&dz=12&dp=0&en=E-Liquid+5&ebz=10&ez=6&ep=0&sfx=Combined+E-Liquids&submit=*+Calculate+*&ac=65.00&am=120&bc=35.00&bm=120&cc=85.00&cm=500&dc=0.00&dm=0&ec=0.00&em=0#anc

I searched for online calculators that would show results when mixing two or more juices with different properties and it spits out what you get in the end. I played with it for a while to see if Kistune is right and it says that she's close. The answer I got was 24.75. I got an answer of 24 when I added 10ml of 18mg and 5 ml of 36mg. I got an answer of 26 when it was 10ml of 18mg and 8ml of 36mg. I'll post the calculator I used when I find it again.

Forever Upping The Nicotine
Mike replied to JonHitThingWithRock's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I started at 24, tried 18 and it wasn't enough at the time. Stayed with 24 and even 36 sometimes for over a year. I was a heavy smoker in the past but not a heavy vaporer during these times. I would notice that I was getting too much nic when I started vaping a little more frequently so I went from 24 to 18. Then from 18 to 12. Then I noticed I wasn't getting enough. I'm at the point where I belive that 12-18 is still enough when I vape alot in the evenings but I have 24 on hand for the daytime when I don't vape as frequently. knowing your body is key to knowing how much nic you need and TH can be achieved on lower levels by some of others' tips. -
Thanks mega. I actually was just about to do that and that's the vid I was about to post!

Not the rubber condum thing. That you take off. The tank has a end cap that is on really tight. If you put that tank in the cone it pierces the cap end of the tank. Pull it back out. You can now fill it with a syringe that way through the hole. OR You can pick that end cap off with a strong fingernail and drip your juice in the tank, then snap the end cap back on. It will click in. Put the tank back into the cone. It will come on and off easier the next times you do it. Don't these things come with directions?
-
Mine seems to wick fine but I did run into a problem with the heating coil getting gummed and acting like an old spent atty. I have to guess it was because of using a high VG mix. It hasn't happened on my mostly pg stuff. If it gets this way does anyone know if it can be saved? I already did it to 2 of them.

Adding unflavored nicotine to pre-maid juice will dilute the flavor some and is dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. You're better off buying 24mg of the same flavors that you like and you can mix them with the 18mg safely. If you were to mix equal amounts of 24mg and 18mg you would get 21mg. No matter how you mix them you would not get more than 24mg and the flavor strength won't change. Before you decide to go up on the nic have you tried a new atty or carto lately? Sometimes that's all you need to get that TH and/or Vapor that doesn't seem to be enough anymore. After all, most vapers tend to drop thier nic level, not raise it.

Chocolate in my cappuccino and Kistune's Apple Crisp are definately on my to do list. So is adding a dash of this and a drop of that to what I have and see what happens. This is way too much fun....
-
How did you fill it? If you took the cap off to fill it you have to put it back on! Also you need to push the tank all the way in so the spike will puncture that end cap. If it continues to leak try another tank. Mine works fine with thick and thin juices.
-
Very cool recipie, Do you have a name for it? 2.5ml of pg and 2.2 ml of combined flavors? That's a very high flavor %, is that right?

Here's the follow up to my my DIY. I got these flavors from Blue Mist which I've heard mixed reviews on. The flavors I got are: Danish Pastry Cookies n' Cream Peanut Butter cup Beigian Waffle Cinnabun Cake Batter Maple Pancake Frothy Toffee Coffee Brown Sugar I eventually did a quick mix on all these and got surprising results. I wasn't absolutely accurate but I tried to put just under 20% of flavor in and about 75pg/25vg and about 14 mg strong in all. To my surprise, all were at a good flavor level except 2 and all vaped good with flavor that matches the decription. Frothy Toffee Coffee and Peanut Butter cup were too strong and needed less flavoring imo. The ones that I like more are Cookies and Cream which has a uniqe flavor which is yummy, Danish Pastry which tastes like real bakery stuff and not too strong and Cinabun which is not over run by the taste of cinamin--you can taste the bun! Belgain Waffle is very good also and just a hint of maple, the waffle stands out for sure. I put a couple of drops of strawbery I had kickin around and Strawberry Waffle is very good. One thing they all had in common was they all needed to steep for a couple days. There was a noticable undesirable taste to all of them after the first shake but it disapeared after a day and certainlly after 2. I'm happy with this order and the service was quick. I have some keepers here and I don't have to improve much on them. I have to give them thumbs up cuz I have no complaints. I know I said I was going to distance myself from tobacco flavors and I haven't had any in 4 months but I think I'm gonna shorten that distance cuz all this pastry stuff is giving me a tobacco craving again! Till next time, Happy Vaping.

What Is The Highest Volt Mod Has Anyone Used?
Mike replied to willmon22's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I almost forgot about my 400,000 volt stun gun mod. Needless to say this didn't work either. -
What Is The Highest Volt Mod Has Anyone Used?
Mike replied to willmon22's topic in General Vaping Discussion
110 volts, AC... I dripped onto my toaster once. The vapor was good but the flavor was awful. I don't recomend it. -
Welcome to the forum Tkato. For a cigarette-like flavor you might want to try: flu-cured tobacco, 555, hilton, or any other that describes it as such. There are stronger tobacco flavors like Turkish blend, french pipe, cuban, etc. All flavors may vary slightly(or drastically) from from different suppliers. Half the fun is trying different things because there is no end to it. You will want switch it up sometimes. And what you don't like now you might like down the road.

Low Resistance Vs. Regular Atomizers For Ego-C
Mike replied to VaporMikePL's topic in New Vapers Forum
Some may argue that LR attys are to hot for delicate flavors but I don't think this is much of an issue. I like the fact that I don't need to hold the button down for a full 5 seconds to get a big toot. The standard atty I haven't tried yet but I will pick some up at some point. I'm sure they perform very well and might be better with some juices. Changing atty resistance has a similar effect to changing voltage on a variable volt mod. -
I thought it was a lipstick size case. What do you do with it? shove it up your nose? I'll stick to good ol fashion cup o Joe.
-
I'm not a caffeine junky and wouldn't think about adding it to my e-liquid but I'm sure someone will. How about the product itself being used like it is marketed. Inhale thier product. Thier product contains a drug(caffiene is a drug ain't it?) And the FDA looks the other way? Something smells fishy. Why are they seizing e-cig related stuff from china but let this come in from France, or do I have it all wrong? Kinda wierd if you ask me.
-
Mabey we should stock up before they pull it off the shelves, lol. Funny how something new and contraversial starts here in the east instead of in California.
-
Just saw this on the local news. It's on the shelves in Massachusetts and New York. This doesn't sound right to me, what do you think? It's a powder for crying out loud! http://www.indianasnewscenter.com/news/local/Inhalable-Caffeine-Popular-and-Controversial-139758613.html

Below are descriptions of 2 different sweeteners sold at BlueMist vapors but can be found in many other places. I purchaced these for experimenting but haven't tried them yet.: This is a diluted liquid sucralose, commonly sold under the brand name Splendex , at a ratio of 3 parts ethyl alcohol to 1 part sucralose. The reason for the dilution is simple- otherwise a single drop of the pure stuff is too much for a batch of juice! With this diluted mixture, you can easily flavor your DIY eliquids, or sweeten up a flavor that's just a bit too tart or flat. One quarter ounce vial of dry ethyl maltol powder. This is the main ingredient in "cotton candy" flavors, and is often added to tobacco flavoring to mellow the flavor. On it's own, it can best be described as a sweet, very slightly caramelized spun sugar. This is best dissolved in either pure grain alcohol or a small amount of PG before adding it to your final mix so that it blends properly.
