My Vaping Story

Hi everyone! I quit smoking January 2016 and vaping has made it a success! I have tried to quit many times before and failed but not this time! I work as a paramedic in a large urban city in Canada and everyday I see the affect that smoking has on the body and knew that if I didn't quit it would be ME dragging that oxygen tank around. With vaping I still get a stress reliever from the vape but much less harmful and tastes much better! I just recently drove head first into DIY juice making and found this amazing community of people that I am privileged to contribute to I hope. So please be patient with me cause I will have lots of questions for everyone, thanks in advance!

I set mine on warm and use a candy thermometor to get the right temp. some crock pots are different it is better to be a few degrees lower rather than higher. 1 and a half -2hrs for most flavors 3-4 hrs for tabbaco flavors gives it a full steep. be sure to use glass bottles. plain fruits don't need steep just s&v
on some crock pots you might need to leave the lid slightly ajar
