Hey Burn-- I love that. I live to torment my kids and now can be around to torment them longer !!!

Hodge--We don't have and exact how to--something I would love to do (but haven't)
However there is a great resource put together on the liberty flights forum, The creator of the thread has put much research into it:
http://www.liberty-flights.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1208.30

here's a quick summary:
supplies:
3ml or 5ml empty dropper bottle
1 or 3 ml syringe (if you have-can live without)
premixed liquid and/or unflavored liquid
flavoring of choice

1. Initially I start with 1-2 mls of base liquid (premixed or unflavored)--put into 3ml or 5ml bottle
2. add flavoring a couple drops at a time, shake, test. I test by direct dripping a couple drops. I use a paper towel-twist-and push into open end of atty to absorb excess between test vapes.
3. perfectly good to add more than one flavor.
4. be very careful with tobacco flavors--very strong
5. I always add a drop of menthol to my flavors to add a bit of cool throat hit.
6. keep track of what and how much you add (so when you want to make a larger amount you can calculate)

Roughly 3 drops = .1 ml, 30 drops = 1ml
the syringes are handy for handling larger volumes ( but can count drops)

I have used the todd mueller calculator: http://www.todmuller.com/ejuice/ejuice.php
This calculator bases the drops on 20 drops/ml and I have found that when measuring juice it's closer to 30 drops/ml. The calculator is accurate when looking at the mls to use......

Unfortunately I have to go get ready for work, but will be around a bit later. and see what else I can add or questions....
You can do this !!!!

The video that got me started is here:



It goes along with a DIY starter kit from Totally Wicked. I certainly lost my fear of DIY and have been 90% of what I vape, I make ever since.

The kit is a good deal when it is on sale. You can certainly get supplies cheaper but this does give you a controlled environment and materials to get the feel for it. It is $60 and you can uze "caz" as the discount coupon and get 7.5% off. (not sure if that will work on the discounted kit)

you get enough nicotine base to make 100ML of 18MG juice. You also get to choose 3 of what is my hands down favorite flavoring, Decadent Vapors. The flavorings are natural based and I find them ideal for Blending (Choc au lait + coconut = perfect mounds bar, Lime Zinger _ Tequila makes for a pretty nice Margarita, etc) I have not had good luck with using for blending artificial flavors, such as Capellas or Loranns. However, some members of this forum I have a lot of respect for, Kitsune and DDaveLarson both are happy with their results with artificial. To me, that is half the fun, finding your way to the ideal setup.

heres how to remove the wick......worked great for me!!

Jeff, when you are as amazing as you are..................

Alright, here we go, as promised the Joker is up for grabs! I really was hoping I might be able to tie this give away into the Support our Vaping Troops thread, But Im unable to come up with idea that would make it fair for all those participating. I do hope that those of you who were going to ship a package...might find a way to support our armed forces in another way. So.. in place of that, I came up with....A Joke for a Joker Contest. Here is how I'd like to see it work..I will give you all 3 days to post your best joke, 1 post with a Joke per person only. NO VIDEO Seeing this is on the open forum..lets try to keep em somewhat clean guys. At the end of the 3rd day (Tuesday night say 11pm) the first part of the contest will be over. Wednesday night at 9PM I will post the winner of the best Joke as voted by the Vapor Talk forum members. Each member of Vapor Talk will be given 1 vote to cast for what they think is the best joke. You must vote for someone other than yourself!!!!!All votes MUST be posted by 8PM Wednesday night. Please do not cast any votes til the first part of contest is over Tuesday night. I think that covers it..so Good Luck and make us laugh!!!!

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!!

I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes (he is 66).

We decided to grab a bite at the food court.

I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him.

The teenager had spiked hair in all different colours - green, red, orange, and blue.

My dad kept staring at her.

The teenager kept looking and would find my dad staring every time.

When the teenager had had enough, she sarcastically asked,
“What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?”

Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response;
I knew he would have a good one!

In classic style he responded without batting an eyelid.

“Got stoned once and screwed a peacock.
I was just wondering if you were my daughter."

Social Security
A retired gentleman went to the social security office to apply for Social Security.

The woman behind the counter asked him for his driver's license to verify his age. He looked in his pockets and realized he had left his wallet at home. He told the woman that he was very sorry but he seemed to have left his wallet at home. "I will have to go home and come back later." The woman says, "Unbutton your shirt." So he opens his shirt revealing curly silver hair. She says, "That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me" and she processed his Social Security application.

When he gets home, the man excitedly tells his wife about his experience at the social security office. She says, "You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too."

Looks georgeous !!!

A young man goes into a drug store to buy condoms.

The pharmacist says the condoms come in packs of 3, 9 or 12 and asks which the young man wants.

"Well," he said, "I've been seeing this girl for a while and she's really hot. I want the condoms because I think tonight's the night. We're having dinner with her parents, and then we're going out. And I've got a feeling I'm gonna get lucky after that. Once she's had me, she'll want me all the time, so you'd better give me the 12 pack."

The young man makes his purchase and leaves.

Later that evening, he sits down to dinner with his girlfriend and her parents.

He asks if he might give the blessing, and they agree. He begins the prayer, but continues praying for several minutes.

The girl leans over and says, "You never told me that you were such a religious person."

He leans over to her and says, "You never told me that your father is a pharmacist."

This is awesome AND kinda funny!!

I'm pretty sure I blushing all the way to my toe nails !!!!

I'm just glad I could help. I have had a few people help me out over the last year.

Jim--Thats what I was thinking. We kinda get stuck in our own heads and ideas--I think it would be nice to have some new ideas. I don't think its really looking for a pat on the back or any such--sometimes you just need to share a good feeling or a great idea.

I was driving to my friends house tonight, vapin' on some super yummy VT grape soda. As I pulled into the Tim Horton's coffee shop (usual stop on my way to his house), I was thinking about that super yummy VT grape soda and how I probably would have never tried it if it weren't for this awesome community's pay-it-forward disposition. At that very moment, a warm fuzzy feeling filled my gut and I felt all giddy! (Yeah, it's cheesy, but whatever!) I started to think of ways that I can contribute to the community in a pay-it-forward sense. After a few minutes of pondering, it dawned on me... why limit this to just the on-line community? It felt like some sort of revelation. When I got to the window to get my coffee, I paid for mine and ended up paying for the car behind me too, (figures they had a $10 order!) I told the guy at the window to let the car behind me know I said "you're welcome, just Pay-it-Forward some day". It felt sooo good to do that, even if it cost me $11.55 for a medium coffee! Heck, it was well worth it. Maybe next time I'll get lucky and only have one other cup of coffee to cover!

WELL....if my 901 hadn't been tethered to the computer with my pass through, I would have swallowed it!!!!!

I am never lucky enough for stuff like this! And excited aint the word! All you guys and gals are just amazing!


I'm not WORRRRRTHYYY!!!!!!!!!!


And you can bet that as soon as I have something to Pay Forward, I WILL!!!!! Right here on VT!!!!!!!!!!!!! for everyone!

Ok you guys as I promised in my original post I will announce the person that will receive the DSE905 package as in the photos in my earlier post on the 1st of June and seeing that here by me it's the 1st of June I'm glad to announce that, that person is ThaHodgehound
Hope you enjoy it man and everybody remember to Pay it Forward it's a great feeling try it!!

Ahhh - and there's the rub bigjim. You don't have to, but if you feel obliged, please do. It's the original "viral" message. Doesn't have to be something of value, some good advice, some time or effort, but the point is to reach out and suggest to other folks that they can help others as well!!! Its a simple concept, and works well. The best part is, you will never know if you made a difference down the road, but it's cool to at least to have given it a try. And if you don't do it, or the message is lost as its passed on, that's cool as well. Most people can't help it though, it's infectious and they will keep it going. I can not stress enough that its not about money, its about reaching out, strangers helping strangers, proving that humanity is not just a word.

Wow - too many drinks...apologies

Yes you can get 901 drip tips from http://shop.nhaler.com/Drip-Tips_c36.htm & http://www.supertmanufacturing.com/id72.html

They have an O-ring which provides a snug fit.

ROFL!!! TOO CUTE GUYS!!!

One time in college we caught a guy sleeping on his side and drooling (LIKE EVERYONE DOES FROM TIME TO TIME!!) his mouth was open and we poured pop rocks in it! MAN!! Wish we'd had a video cam for that one!!
