    What did you Mix today?

    I've just been throwing recipes together using some of my older and less-used concentrates, in an effort to get at least some value from them before they waste away. I haven't hit a winner yet but nothing has been awful either, I've happily vaped everything I've mixed. I adopt the Wayne reaction...

    Farsalinos: COVID-19 ... Nicotine may be protective

    So smoking helps Parkinson's patients to not lose their sense of smell and therefore taste?? Interesting.

    Vape Liquid COVID-19

    I don't see any problem with a juice-maker and a juice-needer who live in the same area coordinating to do their shopping at the same shop at the same time, and a juice exchange happening then. It would require them to live in the same suburb but, other than that, it doesn't break social...

    HELP !!!

    @alex1501 is correct. If you wanted to mix a 6mg 20ml from scratch, you'd only need around 3.5ml of nic. But when adding nic to an already mixed 20ml with 0mg, the added nic increases the volume in the juice to 23.5ml, thereby diluting the nic you're adding. So you need to recalculate how much...

    First Corona Virus case confirmed in SA.

    TFA, Capella, Flavor West, Inawera, Flavour Art, One On One, LorAnn, Real Flavors are all food flavouring companies. Vaping is just a sideline for their main business of selling to food & beverage companies. That is also what their flavours are certified safe by the FDA for - adding to food. So...

    First Corona Virus case confirmed in SA.

    I suppose you could use supermarket food essences. The problem is that some of these are oil-based afaik. Avoiding coronavirus but dying from EVALI would be ironic. I think it's unlikely that DIYers will run out of flavours. In my experience, one runs out of nic, VG and PG long before running...

    First Corona Virus case confirmed in SA.

    Boris Johnson apparently out of ICU and feeling much better. Good job, Boris and the medical staff. :clap:

    DIY screw-up! Info needed please

    BTW, the concept I outlined above can be applied to most DIY mess-ups: make another batch of the same size, compensate for your error in the second batch, combine the two batches into a larger bottle. For example, you were only supposed to add 0.5% of flavour X to your mix but you misread or...

    DIY screw-up! Info needed please

    If you have more of the one-shot, mix another batch of the same size with only VG. Pour the two batches into one larger bottle, shake a bit and you're good to go.

    First Corona Virus case confirmed in SA.

    I just want to say that I hope your PM pulls through OK, @Timwis. I realise a lot of folks don't like him but this isn't an illness I'd wish on anybody. Hope that he and Britain emerge stronger from it.

    Smoke 'em if you got 'em!

    One important factor which doesn't seem to be addressed in Farsalinos's paper is the critical importance of age. We know that while young people can be seriously affected by coronavirus, the elderly are hospitalised and die at a far greater rate. We also know that people are more likely to quit...

    Smoke 'em if you got 'em!

    It reminds me of the story about the preacher during Prohibition who wanted to wean his congregation off the evils of alcohol. So he sets up a demonstration with a glass of water, a glass of whisky and a worm. He drops the worm into the glass of water and it wriggles around. After a few seconds...

    What are the odds ... ?

    What name - coronavirus? This isn't the first coronavirus, it's a whole family of viruses. From Wiki: With regards to the exercise, these type of meetings happen regularly. The reason we don't hear about them is that they're medical industry events, not news headline events. The authorities...

    What are the odds ... ?

    I'm not getting the "What are the odds...?" sense of your thread title. What are the odds of what? That a new virus should strike when scientists have been warning that a new virus could strike for years? Or that various organisations should hold a conference on the threat of a new virus months...

    What are the odds ... ?

    They host these sort of things all the time. I was watching a video in around June last year of a Seattle hospital which did a drill on how to take in and treat victims of a killer disease (SARS, MERS, Ebola, etc) and they said how it was freaking them out because they knew they were at high...
