    Need some scale help!

    Also be aware that being slightly out isn't a fatal error. Recipes aren't the Holy Grail, the juice doesn't turn to junk if you are slightly out. Quite the contrary, I often tweak recipes the second time I mix them, dropping half a percent here, adding 0.75% there. I'll always mix it up...

    Vaping banned in India

    I think where Vic misunderstood is that he probably read a figure that there are 42 million users of smokeless tobacco products in India, and he then assumed they meant vaping. In India's case, they don't. Chewing tobacco like khaini is massively popular in India and it qualifies as "smokeless...

    Vaping banned in India

    Vaping with Vic's figures are all wrong. He's a good bloke and he means well but we can't point fingers at the media for spreading false information and then condone it when vapers do the same. Just some of the errors in his video: 1) "70% of adult males in India smoke". False. That number...

    What did you Mix today?

    Yes, I haven't tried it myself but I have heard good things about the ZA Turkish Delight. For five bucks, why not?

    Trump Announces Disastrous Plan to Ban Flavored Vapes Across the US

    Flv was designed from the ground up to be vaping flavours although I think they do sell to other sectors as well. They couldn't ban flavours as they are used in other industries. Capella, TFA and FW do most of their business in the food and beverage sectors, vaping is just extra business for...

    Trump Announces Disastrous Plan to Ban Flavored Vapes Across the US

    Heh, Steven Crowder. This ban hasn't gone down well with conservatives at all. Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire has his say. Trump is losing his base on this.

    First vaper reported dead after mysterious lung disease

    They think they've found the source: Wisconsin man accused in illegal vaping cartridge scheme. Two words, my dude: vegetable glycerin. This story doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. They say he's been making cartridges since Jan 2018, yet people are only becoming ill now? He must have...

    Grape that doesn't taste like perfume

    Grape is a very difficult flavour. Like cherry, most of them have a chemical vibe that can be very off-putting. Maybe have a look through the Noted episode on Grapes. It's quite dated now but should give you a starting point for the different grape flavours on the market.

    First vaper reported dead after mysterious lung disease

    I wouldn't advocate contacting reporters directly. The article allows public comments, that is the place to have our say. It was an innocuous article that merely repeats what the US media are saying about the issue, I don't see any malice in it. Message-bombing the journo on FB will lower his...

    Consumer Advisory: Seek out other smoke-free alternatives

    It's good that CASAA aren't trying to deny things, that would be a sure-fire losing strategy. Showing the world that they're still committed to advising smokers to avoid combustible tobacco was about the best that they could take from this in PR terms. It's still a disaster but, well, that's...

    One Shots and why

    One-shots are the easiest and cheapest way to get into DIY. If you want to start mixing up a reasonable percentage of recipes you find online, you would need a minimum of 200 flavours, preferably closer to 400. While many of those would be staple flavours like FA Meringue or TFA Strawberry Ripe...

    Giving up DIY

    The other thing to remember is that 99% of DIY recipes aren't fully batched and refined as recipes. Even Wayne admits that most of the recipes he publishes are only "90% there". It's the last 10% that will separate a really good commercial juice from a DIY recipe. That is accepted, commercial...

    Aldehydes - at what temperature are they formed?

    Research testing doesn't mention temperatures because it's very difficult to measure the temp of vapour. Instead, they take a reference coil and gradually increase the voltage, noting changes in aldehyde formation as the voltage increases. That, too, is meaningless because unless you're using...

    Mango sticky rice one shot

    I haven't made the one-shot but have made Shyndo's original recipe, both with the OG Flv Mango and with CBE Double Mango as a sub. It's a brilliant juice but then, I love FE Sweet Rice. Gachatay's Broke Breakfast, which also uses FE Sweet Rice, is also stellar. I can vape rice all day long.

    No. Paradise has tobacco notes, Kawa is plain coffee.

    Dual Use of Vapes and Cigarettes—Harmful or Harm Reduction?

    Right, so dual use results in an increase in two of the chemicals found in cigarette smoke. What about the other four thousand? How do dual users compare to smokers in terms of carbon monoxide, benzene, formaldehyde, etc?

    Truth institute messed up

    Any group that calls itself the Truth Institute should be inherently distrusted. People who tell the truth don't need to emphasise it. As Margaret Thatcher once said, "If you have to tell people that you're powerful and a lady, then you're neither."

    Vaping in England

    Please ask a colleague if you need assistance locating the Healthcare aisle?? "Hello Frikkie, it's Piet from Accounting. Sorry to call you while you're in a staff meeting but I popped out to Cresta and I'm in the chemist. Listen man, where is the blerrie Healthcare aisle?"

    Advice required - How do I "round" my juice off a bit smoother?

    I think the use of sweetener plays a role. It's the same reason you won't get the same taste from a home-cooked burger that you do from a Big Mac. You are not adding the same additives to it that McDonald's do. Generally, I find commercial juice to be too sweet. I have some commercial juices...
