Liquids can get darker as time goes on, however I would guess that your coil and wick are gunked with oxidised juice. Try swapping in a new head and see if this improves things. rughead121Thanks. I did think of that. I tried a new coil but it is still the same. Ahh well probably just the juice. Or my ruined taste buds vaping with the voltage too high lol |

Ok this may be a dumb question so if it is feel free to flame away
I am using a Kanger T3D tank with a Vision spinner II battery. When I have menthol juice in it it turns brown pretty quickly, like within a couple of hours. The more I vape the darker it gets. When it's really brown I dont seem to be getting any nic from it.
Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to help it or do I just need to put less juice in my tank.
As far as I can tell it's only the menthol juice this happens to but that is the only clear juice I use .

OK rughead121 you've got me intrigued now... I have searched and searched but I cant find a recipe for bottled bogies, where is it & what is it I think I made that a couple of times  LOL It was in 'on my mixing menu today' and it was an attempt to infuse basil leaves to make basil ice cream juice. It did create an interesting shade of green... Needless to say I don't think it was that successful. link |

Thanks sammy13 chykensa and Postmodern SmokingWhile it is tempting to mix like mad  I must resist temptation  I want to understand the base and how differences affect the vape and taste. I hope this will let me get a better handle on the black art of flavours. Besides its going to take me a week to read through all these delish sounding recipes you have all posted on here. I even briefly considered the fabled 'bottled bogies'  Otherwise I have this nasty feeling that I am going to be a lot poorer icon_shoppingm |

Start with single flavours rughead121, this will give you an idea of the process. Get some small syringes, as dripping from bottles can be very imprecise. Mix at the combination of PG and VG that you are used to, and the strength too. Be prepared to wait a week before trying the juices, some with sweet or dessert flavours will need at least a month of steeping to allow the ingredients to mix on a molecular level. Methods used to try and speed this process up have limited success, and I would recommend just being patient! Write down everything you do, and save a recipe in case you come up with something that you really like. Once you get onto combination recipes, with more than one concentrate, it's even more crucial to make a note of recipes and percentages, otherwise you will get into a terrible mess (I know, I've been there!) Finally, you will discover that it's actually far easier to mix than you think it is at the moment, and it will become quicker and quicker as you gain in skill and confidence! Enjoy  Thanks sammy13 and chykensa I know the nic level I want to aim for, 12-16mg as this is the level I get on with best with pre mixed juice but I am really curious to try different PG/VG mixes as I get a really dry throat with some of the cheaper stuff and a friend told me that a higher VG will ease this. The trouble with playing with the PG/VG mix is it's going to change the taste slightly which is why I asked about making some unflavoured bases so I get an idea what the difference is. I am really quite anal about keeping records so I will definitely be writing everything down. I already have e juice me up all set up and ready  My biggest problem is patience. I don't have any  I know that steeping is a wonderful thing but when I have something to try 24 hours is a lifetime  Now then where is that postman with my order?  PS I meant to ask I have a large supply of 1ml syringes and 3ml pipettes that I 'borrowed' from work. Would I be better using these to measure rather than counting drips? |

Hi People I have spent the last day reading everything I can on these forums and I have decided to take the plunge. I have ordered a starter kit and a couple of FA concentrates from postmodern smoking and a pack of sample concentrates from ukflavours. I am really nervous now ??? Anyway I have some questions. I am probably going to be making mostly sweet/fruit juices to start with so my questions are:- Firstly Do I need a sweetener and if so would Ethyl Maltol be ok or should I get some Stevia leaf extract and mix up? Secondly I see FA sell something called MTS Vape Wizard. Can someone tell me what this is and do I want it? And the biggie for last. I was planning to make a couple of mils of different ratio bases and try either unflavoured or with a simple flavour so that I know a:) how sweet the base juice is and b:) the different throat hit for the ratios of PG/VG. Does this sound sensible or just a waste of nic?  |

Being pretty new to vapeing I had tried a few tobacco flavours that tasted like licking an old ashtray and some fruit flavours that tase almost exactly nothing like what they claim to be. I then hit on the idea if a savoury flavour. Mmmm I can't go wrong here I mean I have never found a Bacon Sandwich I didn't like. So a quick bit of googleing and I came up with..... Deli Style Bacon. Chuffing Great!!!!! No Idea why it's in the daring flavours section, I mean I even like frazzles so I am bound to like this right? Anyway, in due course I was the proud owner of a 10ml bottle of said Bacon-Deli Style juice that I had managed to keep my hands off of for 3 days to let it steep a bit. Right then Checklist time. 1 a nice washed out tank cleaned and lovingly dried. 2 a nice new coil for my nice clean tank. 3. A fully charged battery 4. My Prized bottle of liquid heaven OK put some juice in the tank and screw it all together, wait 15 mins to make sure the juice is nice and wicked. Here we go then, whack up the voltage I mean its Bacon...What could go wrong? Halfway through my first draw I was actually sick. I mean properly sick all over my e-cig, down the drip tip, Everywhere. What followed was around half an hour of projectile vomiting that even surpassed my bout of food poisoning in Spain. It was so bad my wife came past and said "If you see something pink I think that will be your ring" So ended my experiments with savoury flavours  |

Hello people. I have been vaping for around 8 weeks now. Long enough to learn a couple of things (Mostly expensive lessons) but still pretty green and wet behind the ears. I am using a T3D BDC clearomiser and an aspire BVC Clearomiser on a spinner II VV battery. I still cant decide which one I prefer so any thoughts are most welcome Anyway it's payday tomorrow and I am seriously considering having a bash at mixing my own juice. A quick turn around Google brought me here and there is some fantastic info here so I thought I had better join up  Does anybody have any advice on starting out mixing? Is one of those starter kits worth buying or am I better off getting separate stuff? Is there anything I should really REALLY avoid? Thanks for reading and for any comments you feel like leaving Rughead121 Easy as 3.14159265358979323846 |
