    Ofortuna got a reaction from BirdDog in First Negative About Vaping   
    Although I do not have kids, I have pets and have to be concerned about my fuzzy "kids" getting at vaping stuff as well. I invested in an inexpensive and sealable shoebox sized container when I started and made sure all my vaping gear was sealed away and out of reach to all those littler than us

    Having a talk to your little ones was definitely needed (big thumbs up to that )and they should be protected from e-liquid just as we protect them from any other harmful chemical they do not understand as dangerous!! I know others who use "Mr. Ick" and "Poison" stickers on their vape boxes to deter kids as well!!

    Good Luck!!

    I know the DIY recipe thread is thriving but it has kind of gone off the track of actually recipes and more towards tips or flavorings so I thought it may be a good idea to separate them. While having a tip to go with a specific recipe is a must (ie add flavor X before adding flavor Y), general tips we have learned along the way may be helpful to keep separate. Whether the tip be about mixing, flavoring/liquid %s or certain supplies you use (and why) may be useful on its own

    I will start with something I learned today!!

    When dealing with flavorings, check around to see what the recommended % you should use is!! Flavoring vendors may have this information on their site or you may have to go looking but not all flavors work at the recommended 10-20% range!!

    Example: TPA Spearmint at 15% will make you want to stop vaping instantly!! (no lie) The recommended % is 5% as noted on the website!! And it worked the best at 3%!! Always research or ask if you are not familiar with a flavoring!!

    Anyone think this would be useful??

    Edited for horrible spelling!!

    Dear Dad:

    It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you.
    I have been finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice. But I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing, tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older than I am. But it' s not only the passion...Dad she's pregnant.
    Stacy said that we will be very happy.
    She owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children.
    Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people that live nearby for cocaine and ecstasy..
    In the meantime we will pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Stacy can get better. She deserves it. Don't worry Dad. I'm 15 and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I'm sure that we will be back to visit so that you can get to know your grandchildren.



    Love, Your Son John

    PS. Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house.. I Just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than a Report card That's in my center desk drawer.

    I love you.

    Call me when it's safe to come home.

    I have not had any luck with Root Beer Lorann's!! Always tastes burnt no matter what I do to it!! If you look at a few of the recommended flavoring lists, root beer is not recommended due to the coloring and the sugar content (which may be giving it a burnt flavor).

    Except for a few Lorann's, we have gone away from them and gone to the Perfumer's Apprentice!! I have not had a bad batch yet (unless you count flavors I did not realize do not taste good to vape or my mad scientist "gone bad" ideas!!)

    Mixing is a trial and error process with a lot of error in the beginning!! Keep at it and you will have success in no time!!

    Remember that 3 mL bottles are your friend and don't be afraid to just mix PG or VG with flavoring with no nic to get your mixing down!! And keep your mixing costs to a minimum in the beginning!

    Okay, I'll bite...it's getting late and we need some entries. Plus, who wouldn't love to have some 510's to pass out to their friends trying to quit analogs? Come on peeps!

    I went as 'passed out'

    Talk about commitment, I stapled about a case of beer cans to my legs, and then hit the party circuit with sharpies a razor and hair clippers. Let everyone have at me at the parties. Needless to say, I now have a shaved head, and no beard. They showed no mercy. Try getting coffee from the waffle house the next morning...not gonna happen.

    Ofortuna got a reaction from nana in Drip Tip For Noobie With Ego   
    Just about any drip tip is going to work for you as the atty is flush with the cone. Most drip tips line up with the atty rather well and can accommodate removal of the cone.

    The other option is to remove the drip tip prior to cone removal. That solves the problem of odd shaped drip tips!!

    I have both metal and delrin drip tips in a few different shapes. The hour glass shaped ones usually have to be removed prior to removing the cone!! But no worries They just pop off anyway!!

    When you have everything assembled with the drip tip you actually will not have much use for removing the cone (until you have to charge) so there is a plus too!!

    Happy vaping

    A woman and a man are involved in a very bad car accident on a snowy, cold Monday morning. Both of their cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of them is hurt. God works in mysterious ways.

    After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says, "So....you're a man. That's interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but we're unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days."

    Flattered, the man replies, "Oh yes, I agree with you completely, this must be a sign from God." The woman continues, "And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break." Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune.

    Then she hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement, opens it and drinks half the bottle and then hands it back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle and immediately puts the cap back on, and hands it back to the man.

    The man asks, "Aren't you having any?" The woman replies, "No. I think I'll just wait for the police...."

    MORAL OF THE STORY:
    Women are evil.

    Hehehe!! I love that one!! Enjoy!!

    Ofortuna got a reaction from Mark in Maximum Nic Strength 36Mg   
    here is my 2 cents...

    no one has the right to tell people what to vape on. i myself am not a fan or will i ever recommend juice higher than 36mg, but that is my opinion. there is also an economical use for higher nic liquid by cutting it with VG/PG and making a bottle last longer.

    forums should not censor or remove vendors for selling whatever is allowable to sell. there are no "rules" against the sale of higher nic juice and forum should not take it upon themselves to regulate a suppliers sales. even though quite a few people do not agree with the use of higher nic levels, it is not our place to tell them what to do.

    because you can have different flavors and you can have different units...that is why a lot of us have so many juice varieties and different devices floating around in our collections. i switch between 3 or 4 juices in a day. some help me calm down, some help me wake up and some are just too darn yummy not to vape on!! variety is the spice of life!!
