Processed 2 Times??

[DarthVapor]

Just a quick question. My tracking info for my order states that it was Processed through sort facility Feb 8th Honolulu, Electronic Shipping info Received Feb 9th, Processed Through sort facility Feb 9th Honolulu... Is it normal for the order to be processed 2 times through the same sort facility? This was not the case with my first order where as it was Processed through sort facility Feb 3rd Honolulu, Electronic Shipping Info Recieved Feb 4th, Processed through Sort Facility Feb 6th Wichata Ks, and then arrived the next day as expected. This last order I placed seems a bit odd that it was processed through the SAME sort facility in Honolulu two times in two days. I have been hearing horror stories about orders getting lost and people not getting their shipments. I was told by USPS that I should expect it the 14th and If it still has not arrived, then I should be worried. (they have such a subtle way of making people feel better about their shipments) IMPORTANT LESSONS LEARNED: Lesson 1 - keep enough liquid on hand incase USPS turns out to be worthless(more than likely). Lesson 2 - Pay the extra few bucks to get it FED Ex 2 day shipping. Lesson 3 - I should learn how to make it myself. By the way I had tried to DIY some liquid and it does not seem to give the Throat hit that I was hoping for. Can anyone help me out with this? Can anyone Give me the Proper solution to making a Nic-free Liquid with Lorrans Flavoring, VG, and Distilled Water? I tried with the eliquid app for Iphone and just seems really weak compared to V-liquid. Thanks for any help! Just wanting to vape a bit to keep my mind off analogues. Thanks!

I had that same thing on one of my priority shipments and it came through just fine - I just assumed it was a computer glitch since it said that it had been received - before they were notified - the tracking for USPS leaves A LOT to be desired.

As far as TH w/a zero nic juice - you can add Vodka or PGA to the mix to increase TH;)

Thanks for the reply about the shipping. Now one more question about the DIY.. I am a major noob when It comes to making this stuff. What is PGA? Second of all, will bacardi work? and.. Will doing this (giving i do it right) screw up my tankomizer?

PGA is Pure Grain Alcohol or Everclear

I have seen where some people are using 151 rum - I'm more about vapor & flavor than TH so I haven't tried any of the methods but I'm sure some others that do boost their TH will chime in.

Just an added note - you mentioned the Loranns extracts - make sure they are water soluble and not oil based - the oil based ones can mess up your atty - and some people think you should avoid their flavorings with "darker" colors.

Thanks again! When I bought my flavoring, I did get water base flavoring and not the Oil base. Thanks for the heads up on all this. I will avoid darker colors. I think since I have a cisco and drip tip comming, I will use those strictly with the V-liquid. I will just use my Tankomizer atty that I have now as my experimental one. I will just have to get another Tankomizer when I place my next order. This gives me an excuse to experiment a bit with trying to perfect my DIY Liquid. Live and learn huh? Thanks for the links and Ill give it a try.

Thanks for the Help. I did manage to make my own liquid. It vapes really good but still very little TH. I cant find any 151 or everclear around where I live.. but the flavor I made is outstanding! Im getting alot of vapor and a great balance of flavor too. However, I think Ill just order another tankomizer and stock up on a bunch of V-liquid. Does the 0-nic v-liquid give any TH? I have never tried it. I also thought about mixing a bit of High V- Liquid with some 0 v-Liquid to see if I can gradually lower my nic level. Im really trying to get myself to not be dependant on Nic any more. Has anyone else tried this? I think this Post has migrated to a completely different subject now so, admins.. feel free to move this post if you think it should be somewhere else.

I found no throat hit with the original volcano 0 nic juices...not sure if that's changed with the new ones or not...you do have the PGA option but it sounds like finding it is a challenge for you...
