Great choice to start out. That was my first vape as well. Be prepared though. It will likely not be your last!

I am a professional baker, candy maker, and chocolatier, as well as a chronic tinkererā¦ Oh, and a flavor freak.
I currently work in the Bakery a a certain Childrenās (Cancer) Research Hospital. My latest creation is currently on display in the lobby of the aforementioned hospital, and is somewhat ālargeā and literally took a month to bake ( > 900 pounds of gingerbread), frost ( > 700 pounds of royal icing) and assemble, but the results were well worth it:
I baked all the Gingerbread Men and they were decorated by our patients and then added to the house.
After being a (sometimes) cigarette and (mostly) pipe smoker since 1984, I had my first Vape experience about 6 months ago while on sabbatical (working on my Bachelors Degree in Baking and Pastry Arts) at a particularly esteemed New England based Culinary Institute.
I followed the typical vapers route, started with a pen, then through multiple tank systems, started dripping, and building coils for my RDAās. Then ripping the stock guts out of my tank coils and building my ownā¦ spent lots of time and money chasing the flavor and clouds. Finally settled in on a Glacier II on top of my Nookie Box Mod, and a Sapor RDA on top of my hand-built Box Mod.
For my every-day around-town vape, I tote a SvoƫMesto Kayfun V4 while I tinker with coil builds for it.
I found this forum after my quest for the āperfectā Black Licorice E-Juice left me feeling somewhat underwhelmed. Odin ā103ā is rather pleasant, and Virgin Vaporās āBlack Mambaā is damned good, but still just a bit off.So, I have this drawer full of professional flavors (mostly al LorAnn), why not just make my own?!?!?!

In the Professional Baking world, we only use weight. Our ārecipesā are called āformulasā for good reason, baking is science. Volumetric measurement is too imprecise, to achieve product consistency. The smaller the batch, the more critical the measurement is. a decent digital MilliGram or Grain scale can be had for about $20.00

Just started mixing, so thats what brings me here. Iāve been vaping for 2.5 years. I love the topics and posts from you all. Itās been a big learning experience for sure. My flavor stock is low starting out. With the skill here on ELR I was able to produce a fine ADV right out of the box. My head is pretty big as a result. But the thanks is due to the ELR community, and the fact that I had a nice sweet cream to finish it off. Iām looking forward to participating in the discussions, and future development of vaping in the U.S.A. and ERL
