Earthling789 got a reaction from Diesel Doc in burn
Most of the "green apple" juices I've tried are REALLY strong, and need to be mixed with something else. I use to mix mine with an equal amount of caramel or vanilla cream to soften them out.
Now that I mix my own juices, when I use tart apple flavors, I use very little, compared to other flavorings, but caramel apple or apple/vanilla/custard are a couple of my favorites. Milk chocolate and apple aren't bad together, but I still prefer a little caramel to make it pop

Earthling789 got a reaction from Walt in Major workflow Epiphany!
I mix my juices in beakers or Erlenmeyer flasks... VG goes in first, then PG (if needed), and then Nicotine solution. I use a magnetic stirrer to start the mixing process for about 3-5 minutes at a very light vortex in the beaker, and then add flavorings, upping the speed to a tiny tornado-vortex. I let the whole thing mix slow for about 20-30 minutes, then fill my 30ml and 60ml amber Boston bottles
I normally mix 600ml batches (in 1000ml containers), but do the same process (in smaller 500ml flasks) for 240-300ml batches... or (larger 2000ml flasks) for 900-1500ml batches I prefer mixing in flasks because the angled sides promotes better mixing, less spatters, and less Oxygenation of the Nicotine while it's mixing (juices don't go dark from over-aeration).
Getting a good initial mix reduces any need for steeping, although they do taste a little better after they sit for a couple days. I don't think longer steeping helps the flavor much because juices I mixed months ago taste just as good as the ones I mixed this past week. Oh, and my mixer also has a heating-plate, but I've never used it to heat juice while mixing... although I'm sure it would really bring out flavor faster... but I mix my juices weeks before I run out of something, so it's rarely vaped the day it's made, unless I'm just testing a sample, lol

Earthling789 got a reaction from anthonyvasquez12 in What's everyone Vaping on currently? Or favorite Vape if you have multiple?
My daily drivers:
Wismec Presa 75W-TC running Ni200 0.2 Ohm coil, Kangertech 50W Subbox kit running 1.2 Ohm or 0.5 Ohm horizontal coils, Kangertech 75W-TC Topbox kit running 316L SS coil at 0.5 Ohm, Vaporesso Target Pro 75W-TC running 316L SS coil at 0.5 Ohm I mostly use Subtank/Toptank minis, but also use Subtank nanos. I've got plenty of mods to rotate through, but those are just the ones on my desk at the moment :D

Earthling789 got a reaction from smacksy in Button top 18650 batteries
Those little round magnets will work like a charm to give you that extra little lift.
I have some Panasonic button-top batteries that I used for a while in my mechs, but they just run my flashlights right now... my lights will use either flat or button-top Seriously @smacksy, if the VT store doesn't have them, or can't get them at a reasonable price from some of the battery-only suppliers... @jasonculp has a few links (I don't have mine handy) which should help you out... and FxRich is right... most button-top are limited to 10A, but in a Provari, that shouldn't be an issue since they have protection built-in, and won't fire anything below 0.8 Ohms anyway?

Earthling789 got a reaction from Tam in Vape display? Let's see I need some ideas
Here is one I made for storing tanks and a couple of eGo-style batteries, for a fellow member... It is made with a 4x6 piece of scrap Poplar, holes drilled, and the round eGo stands are round closet door knobs I picked up in a box-lot some years ago... everything sanded, stained, and sealed with satin polyurethane.
I've made several more of different sizes... using scrap wood... This 4x4" block holds 16 tanks up to 23mm size, and still has room between them for EVOD size (16-18mm) tanks (and you can also see another re-purposed door knob glued to a small disk which was left over from cutting a hole):

I don't use eGo batteries any more, so now I'm using a pair of those single, round knob "stands" as great looking pen/pencil holders on my desk

Earthling789 got a reaction from Walt in Vape display? Let's see I need some ideas
I took an old cigar humidor (as I don't need it anymore) and lined it with royal blue velvet, and use it to display my mech-mods (sorry, no pics). Sadly, it just sits on the shelf and nobody really ever sees it (including me), so it was a nice project, but in reality, wasted time/money... because I could have sold the humidor to a cigar smoker and not wasted time and money converting it to a "display case" that is never seen.
The rest of my stuff is sitting on a shelf in my office (five 5' adjustable, wall-mounted shelving from Lowes)... mostly just the juices I'm using daily and mods/tanks I use frequently. Everything else I have is boxed up in their original packaging and sitting on another shelf, in case I need them, or want to sell them or pay them forward to a new vaper that needs a helping hand. The shelves are so I could have a place for things like vape gear and office supplies, printer, fax, as well as my model cars and other gadgets... on the wall in my office, rather than in boxes or all over my desk. :D
The 4-5 tanks I use in regular rotation are sitting on a block of wood (with 3/8" holes drilled for the 510 connection to sit into). The block is sanded, stained, routed-edge, and looks decent enough. The mods I use are just sitting next to it. Batteries are in plastic boxes so I can grab them in proper rotation. All of these things are on my desk, in front of my PC monitors for easy access. I also have a Nitecore i2 charger on my desk, and two i4 chargers on the shelf.
It's not much of a "display" per-se, but it's not like I'm making a big presentation for visitors... it's just basic organization for my own needs. 2-3 three-foot shelves store a LOT of stuff...
All of my juice mixing supplies are stored in the mini-fridge in my office, and glassware is on a smaller shelf above the fridge, so I can mix juices as I need

Earthling789 got a reaction from Walt in What's your favorite Online Vape Shop?
I've shopped a lot of online stores, and for a long time, VapeNW, VapeRoyalty, 101Vape, and Sweet-Vapes got most of my hardware business, but I must say... now that @Christopher has taken the reins back on the VT Store, I've not spent a dime at any of those other sites (and don't plan to unless I have to)!

YAY! My Vaporesso Target Pro and e-Pipe kit arrived today! Can't wait to try the Target Pro... and the pipe will likely never see use, but will be a really cool addition to my vaping-gear display

I think we all should get "Thank you, Jeff" written on all our invoices And hand-drawn "Muffin-man" would be awesome on random packages!

Earthling789 got a reaction from Tam in New - Store Auctions are Live
LOL, I didn't even bid on that one.... I still have two in a box that I'm not using in my rotation because I've pretty much switched to subtank minis as my primary
The item I won was the e-pipe kit, which still does not show in my cart, nor does the email link to "pay now".
You are the winner!
Congratulations Earthling789, you are the winner of the auction product:
eCigarette Pipe - New Please, proceed to checkout
I also just won the Vapresso Target mod/kit, and it DOES show in my cart. I'd love to pay for them at the same time to combine shipping?

Earthling789 got a reaction from Christopher in Vape problems maybe
^^This^^
With any tank, overfilling will cause spit-back, leaking, or flooding... a leaking coil (improper wicking) will cause juice to build up in the tube and/or run out the air-holes... A poorly sealing tank (chipped glass, bad o-ring) will cause the tank to lose negative pressure (vacuum seal), which will allow juice to leak into the center tube or air-holes... A coil not fully seated properly into the base or attached to the center tube will work the same to lose negative pressure, or create an all-out leak... Using too low of a Wattage/Voltage for your coil will cause juice to not fully vaporize, resulting in spit-back, popping, or liquid remaining in the tube... This last one is the usual suspect
