My e-liquids came in today and I refilled 4 spent cartridges with a coffee flavored liquid tobacco.... I got the 18mg nicotine and I think it is too much, lol... it has me jittery, like a full flavored Marlboro would. The coffee taste is the EXACT same as the cartridges I was paying $10 a 5 pack for. Still not bad, only $2 a pack worth of nic, but a 30 ml bottle of e-juice is cheaper and it can fill a lot of carts. I was going to use Musk Melon flavor with my extract for weed, but they sent me Musk Melon tobacco juice. t6hey did send mandarin orange flavor, so weed and oranges it is. :) It'll be several weeks before I can do this, as I have no leaf trimmings on hand.

Here we go again? :)

30 cuttings taken, 3 or more nodes, with last node about 1/2 from cut. The cuttings were placed straight into a bowl of tap water with 4 drops of 2.75% bleach. The cuttings were taken out of the bowl and dipped in rooting gel, placed in inserts and then into the EZC. The clones NEVER wilted, as opposed from cutting and letting sit in gel like last time. I'll always soak stems immediately after cutting from this point on. The lower node was stripped down to the cut, exposing the cell wall.

OK, I've started a new cloning cycle in the EZC. This time, I'm using 6 gallons of tap water instead of RO water. The residual chlorine level out of the tap is between .6 - 1.0 according to my test kit. I'm not adding bleach at this time. I'll check the residual chlorine level in 24 hours to see if an adjustment is needed. 1 tsp of Hormone IBA powder at .3% Current ppm is at 350 with no added nutrients. The only additive thus far is the hormone powder. Water temp is 25.7cand the PH is at 5.7

Is that condensation from manual misting or is it leaking out of the EZCloner? And is the mom your Vanilla Kush? If not I wanna see a shot of that. If you've got any other journals I don't know about let me know. :)

Hi Serapis! Don't believe we have conversed before. I left a message on your journal on 4/1 re: cold extraction. Anyway, just wanted to say hello. I use all sorts of tinctures in my ecig. I can vouch for the lack of odor. I have walked around public many times with my mj tincture in place. It is so funny when people want to admire it. People have actually asked to puff on it. Yeah, right! Sorry... I have a cold.
Anyway, is there a way to extract directly into the glycerin? I have been evaporating the grain alcohol with a double boiler and incorporating the glycerin that way. Please let me know if there is an easier way to do it. I have tried soaking directly into the glycerin (with less expensive herbs), but that didn't turn out so well for me.
I used my ecig religiously for a year. Then I spent last summer in Europe. With everyone smoking, I lost my discipline, and would allow myself a fag here or there. Before I knew it, they snuck their way back into my routine. I still have all the stuff... a lot of it. I almost always made my own eliquid. Whether it was an herbal tincture, or just flavored. I made some real tobacco tinctures that people on the ecig forum would pay for! It was my favorite. However, I was still concerned about the levels of nitrosamines in the mix. Ha! And here I am puffing again. Couldn't have been worse than this.
Perfumer's Apprentice is a great source for excellent flavors quite inexpensively. Typically I worked with 100mg nicotine (cutting it to about 15mg). Reading this stuff makes me want to pick it back up. I have learned a lot from your many posts.

Someone linked up a couple of my journals just a few posts ago... :)

The mom is a Pineapple Express. A pic of the VK is on the previous page, updated about 3 days ago I think. She never got bushy enough for cuttings and it looks like a sativa dominant. If I have the pic in my recent folder, I'll up it again..

Not sure about where you saw water, might have been on top after their first and only mist. This EZC doesn't leak :) Thank GOD lol

1st, let me thank you for taking the time to contribute in our thread. Please feel free to subscribe for updates and stay with us. I just finished about 3 hours of yard work under a 90 degree sun, so this is going to be short. I'm going to try a crock pot glycerin run and see what happens, but I want to use trim for that, so we're 9 weeks out from me doing it and posting pics and steps. I'm already re-filling my own carts, but I haven't messed with cutting nicotine that high in density yet. 30 ml of flavored 18mg is only $5.50 at the store I linked up earlier, which is a great price to me, compared with buying refills from the Blu Cig people. 30 ml refills a lot of cartridges. If you have anything on the subject you'd like to discuss in detail, or ideas to bounce off people, by all means, please feel free to jump right in.

I'm glad you showed up here, I might need your expertise on replacing alcohol with glycerin.

I'm starting to soak my G13 Sour Candy that I got from Attitude in last month's promo. It is a cross between Bubble Gum (My favorite) and Sour diesel. Once it germinates, it's going straight into a waterfarm to root.

Of the 6 NYPD I started, all 6 germinated, however after transfers to rapid rooters, only 4 have sprouted. Damn I miss dirt.... also, every one that did sprout had helmet issues, with embryo skins wrapped around the cotyledons. I have freed all but one... I'll keep misting it, hoping the plant has strength to separate leaves. these were reg seeds, so having 3 out of 6 this early in is NOT good. I hate germing seeds for hydro projects. seems my soil success rate is much higher.

Fingers crossed for ya on that Sour Candy, I want to see it sounds like a good one for sure! I had the same helmet issues with one of my WWs n also a Dinafem blue widow freebie. The skin just didn't want to come off, I took it off with tweezers n they both shriveled up n died! I didn't know if I had done the wrong thing by removing it.

You have to keep misting the sprout and keep the embryo skin moist. when it dries, it glues itself to the leaves. I occasionally take a toothpick and try to dislodge, if it doesn't budge, I just keep misting until it does. My sole survivor Mango seed had a bit stuck to it's leaf and it started to show mold... I sprayed with 3% h2o2 and mold went away, plant looks pathetic.. but it's alive for what that is worth...Now I know why KC Brains seeds are so cheap to buy.
