Ok so I got a bottle of USP glycerin from CVS and I have some empty 15 ml bottles and I have some flavoring.Could someone give an idea how much flavoring to put in the 15 ml bottle to get a on the strong side tasting liquid?I also have a bunch of 18 mg bottles of e-liquid that I might put in for nic.When you buy a 15 ml bottle of any e-liquid at Awesome Vapor he gives you a free 3ml sample of any flavor you want to try but it is 18mg.I am doing 6 mg now with an eye to going nic free so I don't want to keep vaping 18 mg.

mcquinn,
All flavorings have different strengths, some are concentrated some are weak. Depends on the maker and the flavor. How much to use is trial and error. The Lorannoils flavorings I have are super concentrated and only takes a few drops to statisfy my needs. I would suggest starting out mixing a small amount and then add more as needed while keeping track of you ratio for future reference.

Man this stuff makes a huge cloud ,the sun was shining through the front door today and I was having a blast watching it swirl in the sunbeams.I don't think you could stealth vape with pure VG.

No stealth vaping with VG. VG is pure vapor material. I use 40% to 50% in my mixes. I love to pour out the vapor.

Me too Jim.

Hey, is it just me or has anybody esle been noticing that the PG based niquids aren't producing as much vapor as they used to?
I used to never need to mix my niquid with VG, until just in the past month or two. At first I thought it was my atomizer. I use 510s and 302 penstyles mostly, but after trying different and new attys, it made no difference. Or could it be that I am just taking in more of it and letting out less.

Regardless the reason, I have been blending my e-liquids with VG for awhile now, usually around 40% has been enough to satisfy my visual needs.

Onward thru the FOG!

I have noticed some liquids make more vapor than others.As a rule I look for flavor first ,eye candy second.

Now that I have the fog angle pinned down, I have to work on the ultimate stealth vaping devices. The way things are going in the travel department I'm thinking that e-cigs will be hard to keep while traveling. What I have so far is;

Replacing the antenna connector on a cell phone with an atty, and using the walkie talkie button from the batt to the atty. The phone will still work, and with the 3.7v battery, it would vape just fine. Regular e-cigs in my luggage, and my "vaping phone" in my pocket.

I'm thinking of trying the same thing with a pocket size digital camera. The atty connector would go where the threaded tripod connector is.

How about an atty connector in a computer mouse, and carry with the lap top? Plug into the USB port, and you're good to go. Other USB devices could be used too.

Good Lord!! I'm starting to think like a drug addict

Ok so I am using the mostly VG liquid in a 510 ,way more vapor than any store bought liquid.The flavor is the same as the 302 the vapor cloud is about half but still more than the imported liquid I usually vape.While I am not a convert I do have another cheap toy.Arno and Jason can still make the house payments.I vape for the flavor mostly the cloud of vapor is eye candy at home and a big red flag out in public.I am keeping my eye out for PG at local stores ,if I am going to pay shipping I want it ready to go.
