Thanks , I don't have a windows computer at the moment just mac and ubuntu so that's holding me back with calculators ,the online ones I've found only give me options of 1 flavouring which buggers me up lol I've been using an igo l for tasting all my juices and one bottle 30ml of a mixed up VC I made in my spheroid that I lost my recipe notes for and never managed to recreate BOO! That one did taste nice no idea how every try has been so different to it Oh yeh and as hard as its been I have waited 3 weeks on each one.. That's what makes it so frustrating for me lol

Thanks pep , it's the drops and preferred nic base in the recipes that are written like that,that are confusing me because my nic base its 75mg and I'm sure I ain't wanted 7ml of that with 70odd drops of flavour think I'd be sick lol, I'm guessing I'd obviously dilute it down first but if I wanted the final juice to be 12mg surey chucking in 70drops of flavour to a 12mg base would bring it down a fair bit it's the not knowing mg of the juice I'm using I'm a bit scared of

Are people torching there silica wicks before using them?
So after a whole day of playing around and working myself into a funny little rage I'm still not 100% on my conclusion It all started while trying to get this dream working I'd previously retired it to the draw while I waited for some ekowool to arrive I seem to be getting it set up working ok but every bloody time there's a weird taste just lingering around almost like burning paper even with the new ekowool although not quite as noticeable it's still there
Now I couldn't work out why this was happening since it was the same wick I use on my spheroid and igo and they taste just fine then I realised when I wick them If i hit the button on and burn the coil red hot till there's no smell(a good few long bursts) it tastes way way better
Now I'm debating heading down Tesco and grabbing a chefs torch in hope that ill torch the ekowool recoil chuck it together and wave goodbye to that god forsaken nightmare taste lol
Have I previously missed something and that's what people are doing? I feel like I'm always missing the point here with rebuildables or I'm just cursed with some super sensitive taste buds that let me taste wick or something EWW

I got mine from ecig wizard as well just the 2mm , I've been playing with it in the dream all morning I've tried just having it in an s shape going around above the wick channels but that didn't seem to be wicking all that good ,now I'm trying half way down the channels but its pretty fiddly getting it to stay there because it frays so easily how do you have yours roger? I still haven't managed to fill it once without getting juice everywhere tho bahh cackhanded I am lol

I'm getting the same it's like a taste or smell of burning paper , I ordered some 2mm ekowool doubled that over and used 4 wraps of .2 kanthal came out as 1.9 ohms that's calmed it down a lot , but it's still there faintly , I'm guessing its just hot wicking enough

That's odd , I've tried the mom and pops menthol both at 15% and didn't find it tasted mentholy at all :s but more like some sort of cooking herb almost like origarno slightly peppery I guess with a cooling feeling , infact exactly like some mall pal juice I had a while back from safer cig claiming to be tobacco with just the right amount of menthol :s I mix about 60/40vg I'm using vg from boots undiluted I'm wondering if that Could be linked since most vendors vg seems to be mixed with water not sure if that would make any difference to the final mix

Oh question for pep bout PVC I've used Capella vanilla instead of the other and missed out the vodka my only guess is that's why I've had no luck , but I thought vodka was just for throat hit am I wrong? And would you kindly point me to which of the many PVC recipes is the original or best I was hopping for something quite creamy with a bit of sweetness mine always turn out quite dry

Thanks Roger I've mixed them both at 8% bumped the menthol up to sum where around 15 I think seems promising best just leave them steep a bit see what happens My problems every time so far is everything tasting perfumery or even dry I've tried and tried at the PVC recipe but that's just not worked for me seems to have been the worse I've attempted with the purfume thing I've tried chocolate fudge brownie that ended up dry as hell with no chocolate taste (tried adding em and steva no help) Tried sweet water melon , lemon n lime , sweet tangerine ,cherry, peanut butter, vanilla all from Capella with not much luck yet I tried des cool watermelon that came out ok I just wasn't keen on it as an allday vape which I'm looking for If anyone's got some good menthol recipes I'd love to get my hands on them , been surprised at the lack of reviews or recipes using menthol

Ok so I'm ripping my poor hair out every attempt at DIY has turned out a complete flop god knows how many concentrates I've gone through now but they always taste perfumery only thing I've managed to slightly get on with is dv mentholyptus but even that is doing my head in seems a fine line between vapeable and burnt Anyway has anyone used flavourart ry4 nutzilla and übermenthol concentrates? I've only used Capella up until now figured I'd try something else and these just looking for advise on what percentage would be best as I can't seem to find bugger all from my friend google

Capella Chocolate Fudge Brownie. Tastes like the name, some people may want to add a little sweetener. Mixes well with many things - vanilla custard, Irish cream and anything that is a bit too sweet. My favourite so far. Has the potential to start a small cult following. What percentage did you use ? It smells lovely but seems to just taste dry and perfumey to me
