You Guys Set Juice Rules?

Hi all, I have a bit of a concern.

I have been storing many of my e-juice in the fridge for about 3 months. These are mostly juices in my stockpile that are 6 months or older that I stored in the fridge just as summer started to get hot in Australia to try and preserve them knowing I wouldn't get through them all before their expiry dates.

I was apprehensive about storing hundreds of dollars of my precious juices in the fridge at first so I trialled it by storing a few bottles in the fridge for a month and then sampled them. They seemed to be fine so I went ahead and put boxes of juice in the fridge.

After 3 months of having juices I sampled two bottles of naturally extracted tobacco juices which are fairly sweet. I filled tanks with those bottles right out of the fridge.

I am finding both juices have lost some sweetness and taste a little flat. Even after the juice in the tank warmed up during the day it still tastes lack lustre and has lost its sweet edge. They tasted fine before I put them in the fridge. I now have grave concerns for the 50 or more bottles of juices in the fridge, some which I haven't even opened.

The way these juices are tasting is worrying. I stored my juices in the fridge to preserve them but now I fear I have done the opposite.

I have taken both bottles out of the fridge and will let them sit at room temperature and give them both some vigorous shakes and see if the flavours are restored.

Has anyone else had experience with storing pre-mixed Liquids in the fridge?  

So today I decided to go check out a B&M that is near me, but further away from the other B&M's closer to me. The place is called The Vapor Lounge and it is located in Warwick NY. If anyone ever finds themselves in the Hudson Valley, I highly recommend checking this place out. Went there to check out some different brands and flavors of juice, ended up leaving there with some new juice, a new mod, and a new RDA (and my first one at that).

The Vapor Lounge Warwick NY

Spent quite a bit of time talking with the owner, Zack, sharing stories on how and why we got into vaping. All his prices either matches, or is slightly better than prices you can find online. Ended up buying a SX Mini M Class ($200), Freakshow Mini ($25), a couple of JMK WD Pico+ drip tips ($20 each), and a couple of other delrin drip tips with a stainless steel cover ($5 each and shown in the picture). I also picked up two bottle of Voltage by the Juice Guys in 3 mg and a bottle of Dragonaire by Tasty Cloud in 6 mg.



Zack recommended the Freakshow Mini as a good starter RDA that gives great flavor. He spent over a half hour walking me through and showing me how to build a nickel coil for it and wicking it with cotton as he built me a coil for the Freakshow Mini, and he didn't charge me for the coil building. He then walked me through all of the options in the menu of the SX Mini. They do have a rewards program where you earn $1 for every $10 you spend on hardware, so I've accumulated enough points on this one purchase for a bottle of juice. As I left, he said to come back whenever I have any questions or issues, even if it is with stuff that I did not purchase from him.

He has definitely earned a lifetime customer.  

Hell yeah! My istick 50 n subtank mini are in Richmond California baby! Estimated delivery date is.....tmrw! Which means ,well hopefully,that since it's so close it'll b here mid day...ordered 100' of 28g kanthal wire nd 140pcs of rectangular Japanese organic cotton..waiting on 4 30ML bottles of juice as well.....and found another store here in Napa California that has a ....load of flavors,18$ for a 30ml bottle of one brand...Hell yeah today was a good day I'll say! How was everyone's day? Any new pieces coming in soon? Ordering something new?  

I used this for a long time. Before you think ill stop you now, its not vaporz tongue, not change of tanks or wicking, no more or less nic, no changes. I have noticed since 4 previous bottles, since June that it just tastes awful now. I've gone off of it for a month and tried it again on a same sort of weather day "yes it kinda has a roll in taste" and still tastes the same ever since my June bottle. Now its just sitting on the shelf, amongst 20 other I never go to again bottles.

Is it just me or something?  

I have several needle tip bottles with the metal syringe type tips which I like. The aggravating thing is the gauge of the needle makes for either super slow filling or I squeeze to hard and it seeps from around the base of the cap. @#%+$&#&$!!! For the love of all that is holy...someone please tell me they know where to get wider gauge needle tips. I believe the color of the caps has to do with the actual gauge of the tips but for the life of me I can't seem to find an actual chart with those color codes. I know they make luer lock caps for bottles but I would rather have a one piece cap and not have to buy two separate items for one cap lol. Also I've been looking at the unicorn bottles. Do those tips work with rta's like the Lemo OG for example? Can I buy just the caps or do I have to buy the entire bottle? Also syringes don't travel well but I have several of those on hand already. The plastic needle tips are OK but I have had issues with them popping off in mid fill...sheesh what a mess. I have plenty of bottles... I would just like to find a decent needle tip cap with say a 16ga needle.  

I bought 2 bottles of PG and both have a bitter - sour taste. They are clear and odorless but When I put a drop on my tongue I must say it tasted very bad.
Which PG is best to buy without such a bad taste ?
I bought my bottles from Amazon.
I am tempted to buy a bottle of PG from essential Depot - Has someone tried this brand ?

Hey guys,

So I ordered some 0mg bottles of eliquid 60ml online (full bottles not short fills) in a flavor that I have been vaping for awhile.

I took them to my local Vape shop and asked my usual guy to add nicotine to them. I normally smoke 6MG on my sub-ohm set up @ 0.2 ohms and 70w. So he added 6MG like he usually does.

When I got home it tasted weird. I would t say it was harsh, but it definitely had more of a throat hit / kick to it.

Normally @ 6MG I can pull / suck until I run out of breath and it comes out smooth. However this time I would hit it for 2-3 seconds and had to stop as it felt over powering.

As mentioned it wasn’t too harsh, and didn’t make me cough or anything. It just felt stronger and after a few puffs I felt a weird peppery feeling in my throat. Like I had just ate a spicy meal or food with a lot of pepper.

What could have gone wrong? I’m guessing 1 of the following things:

- He put in too much nicotine by mistake and more than 6MG? I called him after the fact, and he swears he put 6MG using the same calculations as always.

- He used the wrong type of nicotine? I normally always use 6MG freebase. Maybe he put in salts?

- Normally I give him 60ml short fills, this time I gave him full 60ml bottles. So maybe that screwed up his calculations of how much nicotine to add?

- His nicotine has gone bad / oxidized? Although the color of the juice looks normal and isn’t overly dark or red.

- Maybe I just need to let the juice sit for a few days for the nicotine to absorb into the liquid better? (Although this has never been an issue in the past)

Luckily I also asked him to add 3mg and 4.5mg to a few bottles (for my wife who prefers 3-4.5mg). I tested the 3mg and it tastes fine and smokes smooth. Although it does feel like the nicotine is a little too low for me. I then added some 4.5mg to my tank (which was half full of 3mg) and it seemed to be perfect. Like the 6MG I was used to in the past.

As this point I’m thinking to just get some 120ml chubby gorilla bottles and mix 60ml @ 3mg w/ 60ml @ 6mg and hopefully that will do the trick.

If anyone has any thoughts or ideas on what went wrong please let me know.

Thanks!  

Thought this would a fun thread to get going here in ECF.

Well,i'll start with something that just happened to me.

So yesterday i got my order in from the spanish website i use for my vaping needs,got some DIY materials and a couple of coils for my Innokin Zlide.

The vape shop was kind enough to send me as a gift a bottle of peach flavoured hand sanitizer.

I kept that hand sanitzer on my desk but stupidily enough i kept it close to my bottles with e-liquid.
So i refilled my Innokin Zlide with what i thought was my popcorn flavoured e-liquid when in reality i just refilled it with the peach scented sanitizer.

Lucky for me when i closed it i could tell by the smell that something was wrong so yeah...that happened.
Tossed the coil to the garbage (only used it like 2 days) and proceeded to wash and clean the tank,but in my defense the bottles look the same (except for the colour that is)



Common mistake,lights were turned off and i was watching a movie so yeah that happened hehe

p.s. hand sanitizer is the bottle on the right  

I will be going on vacation in two weeks, I know you're allowed to take liquid but it has to be a 3ml bottle but you can take a few. Where can I find 3 ml bottles online that I can fill with my Vape juice? Or if any of you have any suggestions, I will be on vacation for 6 days.  

Hi,

I just bought a litre of 100mg/ml unflavoured PG E juice.

I calculated that if it doesn't go off it should last me 10 years. It came in a sealed plastic bottle.

I bought a dark amber glass bottle (which I have sterilized) to put it in but I was wondering if it would be better to leave it in the original sealed plastic bottle rather than breaking the seal to put it in the glass bottle? I took the lid off and it has a proper seal over the rim of the bottle like a Gatorade.

Also the glass bottle I bought came with a plastic lid but I doubt it will be 100% airtight.

Thanks for your advice, any other tips would be much appreciated.
