Wow. Thank you so much!

Congrats on getting your Solos on Chefs website. That's huge for people in the UK and all across the pond.

Congratulations, u/apocalypticdiynewb!

In answer to the question... I usually just smile and nod because I have NO idea what they're talking about. And I'm okay with that. I'm working my way into learning about all of that, I'm just taking my time. 😅

Edit: as u/wheresandrew also said, don't count my answer. I also won a couple of weeks ago!

First of all, congrats to the winner! 😊 I’m not a builder. I’m a klutz and I don’t trust myself with electrical things. Hence I’m a smile-and-nodder among the building crowd. But I am interested in DIY’ing my own juice.

I generally join in because I've been doing that side of rebuildables for years. If you can match a person to their type it makes transition from cigarettes/cigars to vaping alot easier.

Congrats on now being stocked by Chefs!! Big news and wow that is great for Gremberry! Keep up the fabulous work! Thank you

Congrats on getting your one-shots onto the Chef's website! I actually submitted a few reviews very recently on the Chef's site based off the one-shots I've been able to try thanks to your Free Friday package awhile back :) I highly suggest that anyone who's tried Gremberry one-shots go leave some honest reviews on the Chef's website + anywhere else Gremberry one-shots are sold; stuff like that really helps our buddy out + best of all, it's FREE to do! We all know how scary the vaping industry is becoming, so showing our support in free, easy ways really do make a huge difference to a small business like Gremberry.

thank you for all you do for this community + congrats again on the wonderful achievement!

I just smile and nod because I only started to quit smoking two years ago using a self contained pod system with prebuilt coils. I am sure others enjoy making a hobby out of it trying to get the best wraps, best cotton, best clouds and that's good for them. I just smile, nod, and puff away.

I would have to say I am like you nod and smile since I usually don’t have a clue still a beginner in diy juice making and just bought my first rta’s so yeah I am still a bit clueless

I’m probably worse than you. I forget what I’ve built and to this day have never just sat down and made a batch of coils so I don’t run into this problem over and over again. I just want my stuff to work and to work well. Thank the lord for the patience of a few friends who patiently answer my questions over and over. Hardware to me is a necessary evil.

Side question: I picked up some Gremberry Breakfast Blend (from bcf but chefs is great too) and it didn’t have a suggested percent on it. Do you have a recommendation or a suggested steep time?

I join in if they're looking for wicking advice. I've used the Scottish roll method of wicking pretty much since cheese banana posted it.

Edit: don't count my comment. I won a couple weeks ago.

I like when people describe their gear. Do I enter the discussion? Mostly not, but sometimes I get some new ideas what I could try.

I am definitely just like you. I will spend weeks procuring deep knowledge of a single flavor. But when it comes to vape hardware, I am a lazy, clueless moron of the highest degree,

congratulations to this weeks winner, enjoy the flavors

I don’t have many mods or atty’s so I can’t always join these conversations

When it comes to coils, wattage, and ohms I do join in whether just to discuss them or to guide a person new to rdas or rtas. I love rebuildables as much as I love diy ejuice.

As a side note to coil and wattage talk. I think all flavor reviews(which most do on this sub) and all posted recipes should include the hardware and wattage used when testing them because flavors come across very differently depending on our hardware. Even though flavor perception is vastly different from person to person, it makes a huge difference if a recipe is vaped on a simple round wire coil at 20w vs dual alien builds at 100w or somewhere in the middle. I feel there are so many mixed reviews or people being let down by a recipe simply because they don't know how it was developed. If we know how the developer or reviewer was vaping them, (flavor percentages, hardware, coil, and wattage) it would give us an idea on any percentage changes needed to be made to the recipe to suit our individual vaping styles. Just my 2cents.

Congratulations to u/apocalypticdiynewb 🎊🎉

My answer to your question is: I first like the question to bring it more attention then I sit back and read and learn.

I have been stocking up on flavors & gear per say for over a year & a half. I have also been taking notes and writing down recipes, including author & site so that I can comment and give them proper credit after I do start diy.

I got the drill ziptied to a cut up 2x4.

Congratulations!

I like to read over the comments. Sometimes I learn something new.

Smile and nod😆 I make my own coils now but pretty new to it.

I'm going to answer your question with a question because I'm that guy.

How does one get that deep into the vaping industry, as you seem to be, without having a working knowledge of building up a deck, or ohm's law, and all that? I was only vaping for maybe 6-8 months before rda curiosity got the better of me and I started building. Never went back.

I'm genuinely curious how one tests their recipes in a tank with a commercial coil. You must go through a lot of them.

Heavy lurker! There’s a lot of information to be absorbed especially if you’re new. Builds are cool to look at but I generally stick to my own thing. I did wind up buying some custom coils (SFQs) for the first time after seeing a lot of hype on Reddit though. Saved me a ton of frustration and they’re pretty 🤘.

I just switch the last couple months to vaping from smoking and I’m trying my best to learn as much as I can which is why I’m here. So I’m always just reading the post and trying to figure out what they are talking about.
