Ok I guess when my build kit gets here I'll have to play with it to figure it all out. Thanks again!

OH PHEW! Note to self....Tone down panic mode now

@FXRich Thanks

Thanks. I guess I'll take the middle road. Now what gauge? I was thinking 26 not too big not too small

I found them yesterday but I read where someone just took their syringes and mixed in small bottles and that sounded like a great way to learn without diving in too deep yet...(All this is a bit intimidating ) I noticed that here on VT there's a great DYI forum and have been reading it too. I love the VT forum you all are so great to dummy noobies like me

Thanks all... but what brand is good?

If I read it right after Aug 1 things will be hard to buy I just don't want to be caught with my pants down because that would be ugly No honestly, I just quit smoking and I don't have much stockpiled so I'm attacking it with fury as best I can. I'm trying to get juice so I can make my own and learn to build so I have tanks/drippers ...No more analogs for this girl

Actually it's all your fault...You guys said get back ups for back ups and I'm in panic mode after reading the deeming stuff!

@FXRich Thanks! I was looking at Nichrome prebuilt coils in 0.2ohm for my dripbox builds because that's what's on the decks that it came with. I know my istick pico and TC 40w have settings for a lot of different wire types and I can use SS on them. Is one brand of wires better than others? I'm looking on amazon and there's tons of different name brands. Thanks for all your help

Have you seen this new eleaf it looks interesting Authentic Eleaf iPower 80W 5000mAh TC VW APV Mod it's a preorder https://www.fasttech.com/products/3032/10011027/5202900-authentic-eleaf-ipower-80w-5000mah-tc-vw-apv-mod

My eleaf melo III tank is top fill and I do prefer it to my ijust 2 which is bottom filled so I know what you mean. I guess my goal is to one and most importantly cut costs and two beat the deeming and get a stocked up before we can't get what we need easily. Since I'm new(er) to vaping I've been taking your advice to have back ups to heart and going as quickly as budget allows but now I think I better break out the credit card so I'm not left in a bad position. I just want to make smart decisions and not get things I won't be happy with or are not good quality. Oh No.... that website could be dangerous to my wallet !

That's what I'm trying to figure out I'm going to look at the subtank since a lot of forum members here seem to really like it...Thanks again

Uh Oh,....Sorry I'll take the blame here

@cany You get the nicotine separate from the pg/vg? i was looking at the VG with the nic already in it and then diluting it with a little pg since it seemed easier to work with and figure out. Which do you recommend?

I like Kanger I have a Dripbox that I'm playing with but I don't carry it around (I'm scared it'll leak) I just ordered a coil master set and I'm trying to figure out what wire and such I need and what tanks will work for a noobie at these things...I also got a ohm checker too.

That Russian look cool but if I got that I'd blow a lot of my budget ;( Where do you get premade coils? I'm trying to stock up before the deeming takes place Aug.1. Thanks so much for your help!

Thanks, I'll give them a look

I ordered 2 packs of Kangertech drip box decks from Fasttech and they were here in about 2 weeks. They were the real thing. I was happy. I've been looking at getting some RTA's and stuff before the new regs take effect so I have a gazillion questions up on the forum. I guess I'm panicking since I just quit smoking and enjoying vaping and I don't want to go back to analogs....

Hi all DYI-ers, I want to make my own juice and here's my thoughts (please correct me if I'm wrong) Mix 2 liters 6mg vg with 1 liter pg for a 4mg juice to create an aprox 66/33 juice base then as add flavoring and it will drop the 4mg a little (but not much) eventually getting close to a 3mg. so I can try making different flavors in small batches. I want to start inexpensively as I can. Suggestions please. Oh, I've been saving my sample bottles and washing them well for mixing in so I don't have a lot of investment in bottles to start..is this ok?

@Earthling789 Thanks, I really like dealing with them.(Home science tools) I've had kiddos change their minds last min. and added or taken away stuff from their orders I just call them and they adjust it no problem. They also have great discount/free ship sometimes too coupons if you google it. I'm looking to get some bulk VG with 6mg nic somewhere and also pg and flavors is wizard labs good? I'm looking at heartland and the flavor apprentice too that @Compenstine @Bebop recommended. I like the idea of one stop shopping though with good prices. I love chocolate mint flavoring. Does anyone have ideas for me. I'm also going to try building so I'm looking for RTA and RDA tank/dripper suggestions. I started a thread in the correct area for that tho.

Hi All, I've decided to get a couple of RTA's and have been looking at the Bellus and Griffin. I've bought an ohm meter and a coil master build tool kit (arriving Tuesday) But before I buy RTA's I wanted some input. I know the coil ohm rating and wire type makes a difference in type of vape experiences so I thought I'd tell you all my preferences and you all could give me ideas...Help PLEASE! I like a cool temp and flavorful vape. I'm a direct to lung type and like medium to higher air flow. Thanks all! (I hope that's enough to go on) Also, I have a pico 75w and an istick 40w (both TC and VW) mods should I be looking for a different mod too? I also have a Kangertech dripbox that I'm playing with but I can buy prebuilt decks cheap at fasttech and I'm saving the decks so I can build on them too.

Hi Brandi, I went through that too and it was the nicotines level was too high. I smoked about a pack a day and they gave me a 12mg nic juice and I thought I was going to die. I went back to the store and got a 6mg and I've been fine ever since. I also switched from a ego type ecig to an istick pico and It's been perfect. You might want to try lowering your nicotine, and go with a higher vg level juice, (I use 70 vg/30pg) and worst case buy a decent mod and tank. Congrats on switching. I quit analog cigs about 40 days ago and couldn't be happier. Edna

Hi Thanks so much for explaining and doing all this. Would vendors using paypal as a confirmation and payment option be safer. To have a paypal account you have to prove you're over 18 and your identity. I have a paypal business acct. and I remember I had to. Just a thought. Edna

The first few weeks after quitting smoking can be tough I'm about 40 days without a smoke (analog) My sleep varied a lot until about a week ago. Try lots and lots of water to help flush the analog chemicals out ..... It's one of the hardest things in the world to quit smoking the big tobacco companies know that. Just remember you did yourself a favor.Your Kids will be really forgiving if you explain that it's from quiting and how hard it is but you're doing it for them and you. and soon you'll be better. Hang in there and good luck! Edna

Hi, I teach homeschool AP chemistry for our homeschool group. You can get "lab" equipment at Home Science tools really inexpensively here: http://www.hometrainingtools.com/chemistry/ I'm going to be doing DYI ejuice and these folks here have been great in helping. Good luck Edna
