Tripster, let me put things in perspective for you. Few people here know what the hell their doing. I bought a new type of atomizer & when I got it, I didn't know how to build it. Nucleus style dripper. I had to watch a video on You Tube of a guy in England build one. That's a big part of the fun! If I knew what the Hell I was doing it would be a job. I hate jobs. I am retired. The hardest thing I want to do is, Whatever I want.
I know it was probably a slip of the tongue but I would disagree I think many of us here on (VU) know what we are doing we all have different expertise in one or more Vape related categories ;)

lol I'm still waiting for my dose to kick in
Caffeine did not work for me either.. but I just hit a .3 ohm RDA and now I am either dizzy, out of my mind, or waking up
Wait I cannot say "out of my mind" that happened in the 80's and I never recovered :) hehe

I am becoming more and more interested in DIY but it seems quite complicated for me, I am honestly slow due to many severe Traumatic Brain Injuries.
Dude think of DIY juice making the equivalent of making spaghetti sauce ... Its simple honest the fun part to me is experimenting with things you would never fathom would taste good or taste like a Donkeys ass :)

I mean to say Quite a few people know what their doing here. Sometimes late at night my fingers don't listen to my brain. I am very sure I don't know what I am doing but I keep trying anyway.

I know. I am one of the few people that can get in trouble even when I am asleep, which is not often. They stole my 18 wheeler in my dreams sometime this morning. I caught Hell for that, then the phone rang, some pimple faced Bozo wanted to sell me some kind of crap. It's a good thing, FedEx just delivered my 4 liters of Nicotine. 100% is some dangerous shit to be left out of my control. It is locked up in my gun safe now. :cool:

Stormy off and on since last night...nothing too bad. No trees down, no damage. But, it's still raining. Apparently, the Braves might get rained out tonight too.

It's actually brighter now than it was a couple of hours ago.

How about you? Hoping you are safe there.

Just going to say, its a good thing I like math, and have my AS in mathematics. I use algebra every day, whether I want to or not. Today and the next 10 days are going to be those days. Inventory + ZOMG did you not do this when you started type stuff.

Hmm how would one make a grenadine flavor? Maraschino cherry?

I do need to call on frawg or smoky for your expertise. I used to be local to vixen vapors and they make a pixie dust flavor which tastes just like a pixie stick. I know they use tfa and flavor west but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get close. The website says it's an orange flavor and I can kinda taste it. More like a circus cotton candy with a dry sweet taste...what do you think the best way to get started?

I just rocked my own world and I don't know how I feel about it...I've been mixing at 70/30 pg vg and I just tried a Fav recipe at 40/60 pg vg and it's like it's still the same and different. I get variances of the flavor now and no almost aftertaste I a tribute to pg...my whole world is wrong now...#firstworlddiyproblems. Lol

Real grenadine is pomegranate syrup. Not helpful, I know.

I have the hardest time packing my vape stuff. Seriously, it shouldn't be this hard deciding which things and flavors to take. But it is.

For those that do salted caramel type flavors. Seeing a reference online to using saline to add the salty flavor. Where do you get your saline?

Flowerpots posted a recipe a few pages back for saline. Also salted caramel from fw is pretty good. One of the few fw I like

I got the .9% saline at rite-aid by the bandages. A sort of metal squirty bottle that says Wound Wash.

Hmm when I looked last night - cvs has saline with both sodium bicarbonate & sodium chloride and a bunch of other chemicals that I'm not sure I want to inhale. Sodium borate I think was one I saw. What department in CVS did you get your saline from? Ours had it in several areas with lots of different descriptions

Just make your own saline, it's super easy. AmandaD had a recipe on the other forum.

I said that then thought to myself, I hate when people tell me to do the opposite or something different from what I am seeking information on. Sorry about that, @Frawg

You don't want all that stuff in it. If you buy it, it's just 0.9% Sodium Chloride solution and nothing added. Well except for water.

No damage by me. But the wide rotation during tornado warning at about 3pm on highway 92 & 75 was right outside my sub division. 1.5miles away from my house. Too close for me. Made its way towards Woodstock.

its okay we only have one customer (and me) looking for salted caramel and I don't want to cough up the $ if its not going to be a big seller, so making it will probably be the better idea.

Only place I know to get it, is in the back of an Ambulance. I try not to do that anymore.
Technically there's a bag of saline in my kitchen cabinet with a locked box of 32g needles and 5ml syringes - but that was $20 worth of saline and $30 worth of ringers for the cat rescue. One way of insuring the contents are sterile. I can buy smaller bags...hmm there's a thought.

The one I got from Kroger was in the first aid section, called Saline Wound Wash. The ingredients listed are Purified Water, Sterile 0.9% sodium Chloride. That's it. It's in a can, squirts out a stream.
