Use a bolt wrap the wire around the threads and unscrew the bolt leaving a perfect coil

Started the leaf yesterday (full tester) and chopped up everything in there the old fashioned way with a big carving knife and Chef Egg was at work. With the full leaf I went for 100ml VG 10ml PG 16ml Smurf's and it looked like this And after heating like this. Let it cool down, clinged it and left for 24hr. This is after 24hr prety much the same consistency. At this stage I mixed in 10ml of VG and put back in some boiling water and settled on putting it straight into a 60ml (50ml) syringe thinking it would push through the large hole but i was wrong. So, outcomes the tea strainer and after a bit of mess, spillage and faffing about i got 80ml juice but had ran out of containers for further filtering because none have been delivered yet so i transfered into a wine glass. I picked the wine glass of choice because it had a dimple in the bottom and thought that would be easier to get the juice out, so of it went into the cupboard (A dark brown liquid) not like an earlier post picture i had seen so god knows what it's going to be like although it would swish and swirl ok. Cleaned up and got the dinner sorted (great crackling on my behalf as always) and proceeded to do the next stage of filtering. Once all the big bits were out I remember'd something Le Frog-God said about backy filters and being a pain in the arse because of the 1ml syringe so i come up with this. I then thought about it and as an after thought because i was expecting the filter to be pushed out i inserted a needle through the syringe and when it did push through i was going to have some filter showing so the needle was through the filter making less force. Off i went to the cupboard picked up the wine glass of dark brown stuff and give a swirl and bit of a sniff as you do. And the RUDDY glass slipped out of my hand, smashed everywhere landed right next to my phone, laptop and camera and covered the whole kitchen. An hour passed cleaning and thankfully nothing damaged other than my pride, even the other half felt sorry for me but i think that's because she had loads of crackling on her dinner. Gonna order a new tester now but i have some ideas how to do it a better way and what is needed so more to follow.......................

The GGTS with a kick installed once set to your vaping preference will provide the same experience from whatever coil you build without you touching it and keep that power regulated, and it will continue to adjust the power as your coil starts falling off so that you don't even notice it. I use the kick in a mod far more often than my provari. Oh yeah, and the aesthetics I thought the kick was a voltage regulator that you have to adjust with a screwdriver to keep the voltage, wattage at the same level during battery drainage.

That is the problem Dave, each idea seems to require an ingredient you don't yet have…. But that’s the fun of it. I have so many flavours, but still seem to always need a new one for "another idea" every week. I did think about putting a “essential" flavour list together, but everyone’s taste is so different. And, in todays vape mail we have, all the way from Paraguay .......... And mine along with nic base, leaf and some of the syringes in my starter kit My missus did look at me when that small packet of seeds popped out Do you chuck them away. regards Eggy

I keep forgetting to ask, does the Tobac leaf smell like cigs once mixed and vaped ? The reason I ask is i don't want it too.

So if i mix 100% pg and 100% vg based nic levels 50mg at 50% (equal amounts) you can have any pg/vg ratio as an end result IE, 70/ 30 Yes / No Gonna have me dinner Sorry eggy but No….. in a nutshell…. The more detailed explination is:- If, for example, you had a total of say 30% flavours that were PG based (most are), and used100% PG Nic base, only PG to dilute it, you can make 100% PG juice. The same is true in reverse (100% VG, if everything including flavours are VG based). If you had the same 30% flavours that were PG based (again most are), and used100% VG Nic base, and only VG to dilute it, you would only ever be able to make a mix with a maximum of 70VG/30PG…. That leads us to mixing VG/PG bases, If you mixed 50% of PG and 50% of VG both 50mg, and wanted a target strength of say 18mg, with the same 30% of flavours (PG based) the maximum ratio you can get of PG to VG is 48PG/52VG I recommend people use VG based Nic base as it gives them greater versatility to get (within the above limitations) whatever ratios they need as most flavours are PG based. I also like it as it enables me to get higher VG ratios with tobacco flavours, but this is my preference. Yes, you can combine different ratios or %ages of PG and VG Nic bases, to allow for different combinations if you want to, or if you have some odds and sods to use up. But it starts to make things complicated for the beginer at least. There is a tool in the e-juice calculator that does just that, and more besides (Tools\Nic Calculator), also it works out for you the resulting level of Nic if you mix two different strength Nic Bases together, and puts the correct ratios into the calculator for use. But most people, won’t need or use that or have to worry about it. Edited to try and make it easy to understand, but It isnt, is it?.....I reiterate, MOST people won't ever need to think or worry about this. Confused I am ??? I may add that i have vg and pg nic whisking it's way over to me and i just want to make sure i am using this tool correctly. As an example below using vg and pg nic i can achieve the 70/30 ratio but i could not if i only used vg as the base. Eggy

There have been some questions asked about what juice calculator to use, what one is best, what one is simplest, etc. I am not going to advise that one is better than another, all I will say is this is the one I use for all my recipes, and find it very good. It is called “e-Juice Me Up” and is available free here:- breaktru.com/smf/index.php/topic,205.msg421.html#msg421 It comes with a load of free recipe’s already to make (some of them are mine)…. But, to make things a bit easier to understand, below is a screen shot of the calculator with a recipe already loaded in it for a mix that I make called “Vodka & Lime Zinger” . The flavours are not in the same order, but here is the same recipe from my mixing book. Here is a quick video on how to use the calculator And this link will take you to a small tutorial on how to use the calculator:- breaktru.com/smf/index.php/topic,205.msg421.html#msg421 Rather than me try and explain it all again…. It is very straight forward once you read this. Before it get slost, lost oohps. because this is the important bit. As an example.... if your nic base is either 100% pg or 100% vg it will only allow a % pg/vg ratio of approx 60/40 on the base nic that you have. So if i mix 100% pg and 100% vg based nic levels 50mg at 50% (equal amounts) you can have any pg/vg ratio as an end result IE, 70/ 30 Yes / No Gonna have me dinner
