⏳ Less than 2 weeks to go!
The DIY Mix Meet is just around the corner, and things are shaping up nicely. If you’ve been on the fence about joining—now’s the time to commit. Whether you're brand new to mixing or an old hand with a stash of concentrates that could rival a lab, you're welcome...
Just dropped a new rant on the blog — this one’s close to the heart.

Oh, and while we’re spilling the DIY beans — I’ve got a little something that might help you not blow up your first few mixes (been there, done that, still vaping the evidence).
It’s a no-nonsense guide I slapped together for folks just getting started...
Hey man, welcome to the rabbit hole
Yup, it can definitely look intimidating when you see someone’s shelf stacked with every flavour under the sun — but most of us didn’t start out that way. It’s a slow (and slightly addictive) build over time.
If you’re looking for a solid starting point...
Hey @JMartin
Thanks for the reply. I 100% agree with those 2 nominations.
I also think we need add Uncle Rob (the main Man) and the guy from VSML (can't remember the name right now).
Hey folks,
I’m putting together a little something for the Old Goat blog, and I need your help.
I’m looking to shout out the legends — the mixers, modders, reviewers, and general misfits who still carry the torch for what made this community great. The ones keeping the DIY spirit alive...

Got a few toys on the way to the Goat Shed:
ThunderCloud Blaze Max Pro RTA – hyped for this one, can’t wait to see if it lives up to the name.
ThunderCloud Blaze RDA – had to complete the set, naturally.
Bonza Pro Tool Kit – time to finally retire the crusty Allen keys.
And… against my better...

Hey bud, cheers for sharing your experience — always good seeing folks tinker and explore new builds.
I haven’t dipped my hooves into titanium just yet, but it’s on my list. What I can speak to is coil resistance and airflow behavior, especially as a power vaper who rides low and fast — 0.1 to...
Quick Update from the Goat Shed
Two sets of Old Goat Coils are making their way to a couple of local influencers this week. Who are they? Ah, that’s classified for now — I don’t want to influence the tone or direction of their reviews.
They’ll be testing them out blind, giving honest...
If you’re in the business — or even just a serious hobbyist — now might be a good time to take stock. Look at what you rely on from the US, whether it’s concentrates, wire, or hardware. If there’s room in your budget to order ahead, it could save you from scrambling later when prices adjust...
April 2025 will be remembered as the month the South African vaping industry got smacked with not one, but two punches straight to the gut.
First, the United States hit us with a 30% tariff on South African exports — a move that's already starting to choke off our ability to compete in one of...
Glad you like it. I wish I could take credit for this amazing book, but it is not my work.
It makes me think of creating a recipe book of my own. Maybe we can create an eCigSa recipe book.
Totally fair! Not every juice has to be a custard bomb
There’ll definitely be a wide mix of flavour profiles on the table—fruits, tobaccos, candies, wild experiments, you name it. If you end up pulling through, you might even inspire a whole non-custard section
The more palates, the...
Why BLCK is the Perfect Fit
The venue for this DIY Mix Meet is BLCK—and I couldn’t have picked a better spot. This isn’t just a vape shop. It’s where I get 90% of my flavour concentrates and mixing gear. It’s more than a store—it’s part of the journey. If you've ever been to BLCK, you know what...
