Well, I've reached a new level of laziness in my DIY experience.
Instead of mixing, I've just been putting a few drops of flavoring in when I refill my bottle with unflavored.
So silly question...would un flavored just be the PG VG and nic mixed at desired level? Seems obvious....but sometimes I miss the obvious

You'll also need some unflavoring. The Cheshire Cat can show you where it's found ;)

Or just pg, vg, & Nic base. I found it had more of a taste than I expected, so I still prefer a flavor to mine.

I like unflavored once in a while, but lately need a little something mixed in. And I've totally done the 22 method. I've said I'm a lazy mixer.
Oh, and @Claudia P ...I made the Vanilla silk pudding without sweet woodruff. Tasted kinda bland at first but today it's starting to taste quite good.

I'm just wasting time now. Ran errands, took a short walk with the mutt with the promise of another one later ('cause it's really a nice day out there), and now I have to get to work. So I'm procrastinating.
And pouting a little. :rolleyes:

Nevermind. I can't get the image to show up.....again.

There it is! I did it! I think the first one I found was copyrighted or something because I did nothing different to post this one.

I wish there was some way to compare the two versions without risking a batch, it would be nice to know if it was close to the original without the Sweet Woodruff.

I'm totally lost in space at the moment, or more like cyberspace. My art teacher discovered a new art app for iPad that is absolutely incredible, the closest thing to real Photoshop yet, the only problem is they haven't made the handbook for the app yet, just for the desktop version, so several of us are pushing buttons and poking around in it getting it all figured out and posting our findings for the rest of the group.

It's a lot of fun but also very time consuming.

I'll make more soon and send you some. If you use 6 mg I can send some of this batch.

Thank you for the offer but it really isn't necessary, I assume once my Sweet Woodruff is gone I'll find out. lol I really am interested in hearing how you like it as it ages a bit though. :)

That one is pretty di. I'm glad to see more working on aesthetics lately. For a while it was all about function, a lot have the function down well and are putting out nicer form now :)

Just read where someone said they just use an alien Clapton coil without a wick to taste test their DIY. Love that idea but no way do I have time to learn to roll those! Found a premade online but it was >$10 for a single pair. Anyone seen a better deal on them?
$10 a pair sounds like a steal to me. Lol. Let me tell you what goes into these. I've made 6 or 7 now. They're a bi#ch to put it mildly. First you have to clapton some 26 gauge wire. Just a plain ole clapton. With my experience that takes about a minute now. No biggie. Now you have to pull the 26 GA wire out just leaving the claptoned wire on its own. Next you grab each end of that claptoned wire (that's kinda like a long hollow spring now) and pull it apart EVENLY and to the exact spot where one untwisted section just covers 3 pieces of 26 GA wire. Pull too much it's ruined, start over. Pull unevenly you're gonna get an awesome useless 1 inch perfectly wrapped alien and the rest goes to shit. Now hopefully you have it stretched just right now it becomes a real bi#ch. You have to get 3 pieces of 26ga to stay perfectly flat so you can wrap that untwisted stretched wire around it. Let's just say when you wrap anything around anything with 3 wires the tendency is for it to roll one side up and you have a nice lil triangle of wire. At which point you have to start over further down the wires. With any luck you can keep the 3 wires staying flat and your stretched wire is perfectly even so each wrap hits right where it should. You see how alien wire is scalloped. If one section is just off your next ones are also going to be thrown off. All you can do is move slowly down the wire and pray the entire length and hope you at least get enough right to make one frickin coil. Lol. So ya $5 a coil. Well worth it imo.

Well, actually it's $14 but the aren't true alien claptons, just 32ga wrapped around a bunch of ribbon wire, you can read all the comments about it being called out. The only true ones I saw were at TwistedMesses and they were $29

grabbed a pair to check out.

If they work as I hope i may get a couple more. Thanks DI!
They should work great. Honestly though running with no wick I think a staple coil, staggered framed staple or framed staple coil would be even better. That framed staple coil I'm using.... With no wick I bet I can get 15 to 16 drops on the coil and it'll suck up every last drop. They hold onto a ton of juice.

I thought about that, but I think I'm most interested in just tasting a juice I'm making and want to just take a couple pulls to see how the flavor is. Although when I checked out I noticed I still had some $ in my PayPal account, so maybe I'll try a pair of those too. ;) thanks for the enabling, as always!

Anyone have ideas/feedback on the Vector, Origen v3, and Matrix v2 bf atomizers? Seeing them in the classi's is giving my a bit of shinyitis . . . .
I only have a Vector, of those three. It's fine, no complaints but nothing special to note, other than top airflow is better than side..

Now that's bad ass. Basically a snowwolf with a phone screen. Still fumbling through the settings screens but it hasn't been that difficult to pick right up on. Tack on I can make any adjustments right from my phone which is even easier.

I was not impressed with the Vector. Have not tried the Origen v3, just the Origen Little which is outstanding. Matrix v2 is pretty decent on flavor.
I sold my v3 origen. Nice atty but no real difference between that and the v1 and v2. The v2 has actually been the best one imo.

Thanks! I guess I'll wait for the Speed v2 - the small atty's are good on flavor, but limited on the builds you can put in them.
