Starting Out Right - Die Kriek's Vaping Diary

2 questions, ok more like 1 question and 1 question/statement/noob guess.

First one, is it advisable to store used coils, not dead ones for rebuild, good ones. If yes, how do you guys suggest they be stored? I'd guess rinse and keep them in the little rubber things the stock ones came in, but just want to be sure

Second, that burnt feeling in the back of my throat is back, not as bad as day 1's was, but it's spoiling my VM4, I'm pretty sure it's the high nic, since it only seems to happen with my VM 18mg juices, but if anyone has any other theories I'd be happy to hear them. Think I'll only be ordering
12mg juice for the time being

If storing the coil with a wick, I give it a good was, then let it air dry for about a day, then pop it in a ziplock back into my vape draw.

Many of us rinse the the unit under hot water, then drop into a closed glass container with vodka. Let it soak in the vodka for as long as you want, but a minimum of 24 hours. Take out, rinse under hot water and leave to dry. Then store wherever convenient for you.
Could be the nic, maybe order the 12 mg, but keep some 18 mg in reserve for party and stress times?
 
Day 14! 2 weeks stinky free:party:! And I feel absolutely horrible :sick:

Knew this was coming, read about all the junk I had put in me and how my body was going to start flushing it out, but I did not think it would be this bad! I can't even taste my Amarula juice ;(. VM4 still has a bit of a caramel taste coming through, but the high nic does not do too good with my throat already feeling a little bit like a glass smeltery (or whatever the word is, Google doesn't seem to want to help me today)

So not a lot to say about my juice choices today, but at least I think I know why the VM4 was giving issues again, so I got that going for me
 
Awh dude, sorry that you are feeling crappy... that's really horrible... Hope you will feel better soon and remember... you're body is getting rid of all the crap and after all this you are going to feel FANTASTIC :rock: Don't let it get you down o_O
 
@Die Kriek something that helped me quicken the "flushing" out / detoxifying process was to drink a hell of a lot of water plus taking 1000mg of Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) twice a day - regarding taste buds I could not find anything that worked for me, but it only lasted for about 5 to 7 days.

Sorry to hear bud. It sounds more like a flu is arriving though, muted off taste and rough throat normally signals an illness for me then its low nic menthol vape till it passes.

Might be flu as well, but my flu usually hits like a freight train and is gone in 2 days, no slowly creeping up of the symptoms.

Will go by the pharmacy today and see if I can get some VG to dilute my Menthol Ice down then, thanks for the tip
 
Day 15. I can taste again, somewhat, but that would be about the most positive thing today.

Seems @Gazzacpt had it spot on, feel like I've been hit by a bus!! Been vaping Menthol Ice since yesterday afternoon, tried some VK4 this morning, the 12mg doesn't burn, but it's not pleasant either, so back to Menthol

So I'll be spending my public holiday in bed, hoping it's over by tomorrow
 
Crappy news man, hope you get over it soon.
 
Thanks for all the support guys!

Finally got myself to a pharmacy, got some Glycerin B.P. Is that the correct stuff? The only thing they had that said glycerin on the bottle

And something for the flu? Yes, that is the correct stuff. Do remember that VG tends to mute flavour.

Got some flu meds too, and the VG is for my Menthol Ice, flavor is a bit harsh for me anyway
 
Day 16, and I am happy to report I am feeling heaps better!! Throat still isn't 100%, but I can live with that

So last night I decided to play mad scientist, mixed up some VE Original and VM Strawberry 50/50 in tank 2. Was still a bit harsh on my throat so I let it stand until this morning and continued vaping Menthol Ice. So this morning I try the Strawbacco again (I love making up these names, not original I know, but I like it) tastes great!! Very (VERY) sweet tobacco inhale, and all strawberries on the exhale! Will definitely mix this one again, but might give it some steeping next time. Nom scale - 4 - nomnomnom : very nom :-D

In tank 2 this morning, I mixed some VM4 and VK Amarula, also 50/50. This one definitely needs time to steep, the flavours have not mixed well, sometimes I get a sweet VM4 taste, sometimes I get an Amarula taste with a faint caramel afterthought. Still nice to vape, but wont mix directly next time. There is also a slight aftertaste of of the Menthol that was left in the tank, but it is very faint, so doesn't bother me too much. Nom scale - 3 - nom : its nom :nod:

For refill, I couldn't decide if I wanted Coffee or Peach2Rooibos, so I brought both. Don't think I'll be mixing them though (might change my mind later :think:)

P.S. I am now solidly GATVOL of straight up Menthol :doh:
 
Glad you feeling better. With your 50/50 mixes well have to call you Dr Jeckle and Mr Hyde lol.
