| We don't want water from Chlorinated or Fluoridated sources.
Bacteriological or Chemical contaminants are an unknown when it comes to vaping.
Use as pure as you can find. Some folks use ethyl (drinking) alcohol. But this will change the performance and taste of the e-juice.
Don't try and fill a carto with "cold" juice. Remember that as you vape the viscosity will decrease as the juice warms up. Too thin and it will "leak" out.
The RedBull I use is a "base" flavor for me. The Black Cherry (most common 2nd flavor for me) comes through without being overbearing.

Very proud of you! Trying to quit for years has taught me this drugs power over us. Willpower is not enough for me. Determination helps. But finding friends that have the same goal (stay off cigs) has helped me the most!
Keep Vapin!
I can't wait to get my order from Mr Wiz and start mixing! It has to be easier than mixing vocals, lead, bass and drums on a Tascam 8 track.

I tried the redbull but man does that stuff pop in my nose. | Personally i would try warming the ejuice slightly insted of using a water substute. The warmer you get the ejuice the freer, and faster it will flow.. |

| Hi all,
Sorry to be MIA lately, but it's been hectic around here.
Yep, quasi, we opened up Wizard Labs to the general public, and right after we did the news hit facebook and ecf.
We got buried with orders again, and actually had to limit some of the stock on the site to slow them down so we could play catch up.
Right now most of the nicotine solutions are showing as out of stock, but as soon as we get the backlog of orders shipped I'll make more available.
Starting to get hit with more and more wholesale orders from vendors as well.
So far all the reviews have been very positive from the customer service to the pricing, packaging, product quality, etc... which definitely makes still being several thousand dollars in the red a little easier to take. 
Hopefully we can stop hemmoraging money soon and start turning a profit.
Everytime I turn around there's a new expense... just this week alone I've had to buy another laser printer, more lab scales, heat sealer, a new milliliter lab dispenser to test out, and a few thousand feet of that bubble wrap that Rocky loves to pop... man, it's starting to add up quicker than I can count.
Now Mrs Wiz has us going to look at a possible new location tomorrow that's more than 3 times the square footage we're subletting now so we stop stepping on each others' toes in our little packing area.
Unfortunately it's in a different city which means paying for a new occupational license, reregistering with the FDA, more inspection fees, more furniture, cabinets and counters, etc. etc. ad naseum.
I'd swear I can hear my wallet sobbing everytime I reach for it.
Mama Wiz says we're a victim of our own success... and I have to agree.
Speaking of which, we've still got mama and gramma Wiz visiting so I'm doing everything I can to spend a little time with them before they go back which means I'm running on about 4 hours of sleep a night if I'm lucky.
...for some odd reason they don't seem to consider it "quality time" when they hang out at the office putting "Thank you for your order" stickers on the little freebie bags I stick in the boxes at packing... go figure...
Whew!... sorry for the rant, but you guys are my family, and that's what families are for, right?... A shoulder to cry o... hey.... hello... hello? Where'd everybody go?...
LOL, just in the time it took to type that two more orders have come in... I really do miss sleep... and my sanity. |

| I will show your post to the swamplady - the bubble wrap is MINE
I hope you see black soon.
Sorry about the logistics of setting up another facility. Hope you end up with some "spare time" in the near future.
THe wife and I are still spending a lot of "quality time" together refurbishing "This Old House". When we get back home we are pooped. But it is fun working together.
Talk soon.
Rocky

Rocky | Yeah, we need to talk.
All those little bottles you ordered isn't efficient for your needs.
You mix in bulk and already have your recipes set in stone.
Send me a PM/email with the quantity you really need and I'll work it into my next order with TPA to save us both some time, expense and labor.
Right now the biggest glass flavoring containers I have are 30ml, but I think that's a drop in the bucket for you.
If you don't mind the 4oz LDPE bottles I can work out a deal for you on the only 2-3 flavors you use.
Also tell me if you need nic solution. Ignore the website and email me instead.
You are my unspoken (and unpaid) partner in crime.
Without your counsel, Wizard Labs would still be a pipedream... or at best in the throes of uncertainty. Quote:

| Wiz,
You can bottle the flavor I ordered in any size bottle you like.
Save yourself a few cents. That will hold me for a couple of months.
It's going to be a while before I need NIC juice.
BTW, I broke my own FIFO rule and mixed the last batch with your NIC.
Turned out great, just as expected. But don't get excited yet, NOBODY gets a "Thumbs Up" with a single order
Best to you and the family.
I'm off to bed now, gotta have my beauty sleep
Once you get caught up, maybe you can offer a
"Rocket's Dr. Pepper DIY Kit" national average on juice prices

| Man I have barely used the flavors I got from Wiz so far but thats ok I like taking my time so far. Good to hear things are going well for you Wiz and always take care of the fam first! I couldnt be happier with my purchase other than I suck at mixing right now. I think its just a matter looking for my personal flavor profile. |

| Ive messed around with wintergreen in addition to peppermint in a menthol mix with french vanilla. Haven't really tried spearmint but I think the wintergreen tastes exactly like a lifesaver including the after taste to the point of expecting to see the green sparks ..

Like Berger, haven't noticed any change in juice consumption. The electronic cigarette white paper that was noted in a thread last week talked about nicotine addiction and some of its posits seemed to put more weight on social, oral and hand habit addiction than nicotine. Wife and friends have always identified me as orally fixated. The drop to 5% with no ill effects surprised me.
Addendum: Started at 24mg last March 16. Last analog on March 20. DIY mixing has made adjustment very easy.

| Yea..Im with you on that..I noticed at 24 there were times I would feel occasional nauseous. Since reducing the nic levels those episodes disappeared except when over vaping for extended periods now. I have to watch it when I mix up a new flavor I really like and go crazy with it at first..

| I also think part of the trick is to realize that it is working and accept the fact that you can get past the short urges to smoke. Ever been so stressed out you just pace and chain smoke? If you can't relax and enjoy vaping the stress will block the effect. You can probably get by on a lower nic level if you are able to fine tune your techniques and
become one with your cartomizer

| Yea theres a learning curve you figure out overtime for sure..I dont miss the running outside and rushing the whole thing to the bottom to get back inside anymore..that practice would give you a serious head rush Ive never gotten no matter how much Ive vaped..over chain vaping seems to just make you feel sick...but by then its a little late to do much about it...just have to wait it out at that point ...or think ahead and avoid it all together..
