Are you done stocking up?

[NolaMel]

Boy lemme tell you...that was the most frustrating purchase on my iPad! I had to go to the desktop to order. So slow. Wasn’t sure if it was their website, or my son playing his games. That took forever. Definitely not iPad friendly. I picked up 8 flavors.

Once I got to discontinued flavors, it was fine. I grabbed 9, some new, some backups...nothing exciting. But $18 including shipping, especially since over half mine were HA, FA, or FLV. Now, I can add those to the probably 200+ flavors I need to use or sft . I swear, diy is a disease. I can’t help myself lol

I would check the box to check out and it would say I didn’t. It would take like over a minute for each flavor to add to cart. Desktop fixed it.

We didn’t buy any hard bound. It would have been even more. One was paperback, some were spiral with online codes, I think one was an ebook. My oldest averaged around 250 a semester. This one was a shock. Hopefully it’ll be better next time. When she starts the nursing school part her junior year it could get pricey I assume.

Undergrad was ok (lots of shared classes with premed, nursing and pre-pharm)... (registered dietitian) grad school is a killer!

What did you get?

Quince, quince jelly, ginger peach and others I can’t remember.

My coworkers son is in nursing school. They had extra fees beyond tuition in junior year.

Nitecore intellicharger i4. Don’t buy it!

That's the charger I have two of! LOL The old one is the 0.75A, slow as molasses. The newer one is 1.5A, not too bad. The Miboxer C4-12 I just ordered is 3A, ought to be a screamer.

just seems like a wise thing to do, to me.

I could vape DIYorDIE Funfetti cake all day every day but I think it costs a little less to buy the ingredients separately than the one-shot. Or else it’s close to breaking even. I think it’s the sugar cookie flavor in that recipe that I enjoy the most, so I bought it in a greater quantity. Now I just need to find a sugar cookie recipe.

I find it so funny that you guys have all these recipes and flavors. I use one singular flavor for my mixes, and love it. My next juice to try is also going to be a singular flavor mix.

Yep...the slow one is 0.75A. Garbage. I’m thinking about picking up the miboxer it’s just so expensive.

I like the ginger peach. I used it in a yummy tea mix. Please don’t ask for the recipe... I made the mistake in my beginning mixing of putting the recipe on the label for the bottle. No. Where. Else. . Guess what happens when you accidentally throw the bottle away.

Several people have the c4 (yellow buttons) one. On Amazon some have several $ off coupons, bringing it close to $20. It’s 1.5 amp charging, so twice as fast as your older one.

Ginger peach is the one I’m most excited to try. I have too many flavors I’ve bought the last two months. And really no time to try them. I’ll get to them eventually.

I kind of worry for vape stores for one reason: so many people have stocked up for years /decades. When ( if) the flavoring ban doesn't happen vape stores will have far less customers since every one has stockpiled. It's a horrible catch 22. Stock up, nothing happens, vape stores lose business - don't stock up, ban happens, vape stores lose their actual business.

I rather doubt the number of people stocking up is sufficient to make a substantial difference to the bottom line of most vape shops.

I have always been a four flavor mixer. But I’ve really enjoyed the depth and complexity of the more complicated mixes. I doubt I will ever come up with an original recipe, but there are plenty of talented people here so I’m copying their recipes.

I’ve been saying that for quite some time lol. I’m right around 300 flavors. I don’t mix complicated recipes. I am a vape flavor hoarder. Might as well admit it. Early on, I bought stuff just because it sounded good. Now I try and check reviews on several sites before I leap and order.

I have to agree. I think most of us who have been stocking up have ordered online. B&Ms tend to be much more expensive than online vendors. Early on, I bought everything from a vape shop, mainly because I needed the guidance. It was a while before I found out online stuff even existed.
There’s a shop in way rural Alabama I stop in occasionally. (Oddly, they do carry cotton bacon at least). Their stock looks like 2012.... half the cases are ego twists of every color, with rhinestones, snakeskin, you name it. Plenty clearomizers. Rest is mostly Smok sets and a few real beginner sets with internal batteries. Lots of juice. I was shocked at how many times people came in to buy one coil or clearomizer and wait for it to be installed and the tank filled for them. Without local stores, they won’t keep vaping. They carry juice also, but I have no idea how they make enough to stay in business.

THey are probably hurting very badly right now. I know our local shop is. This vaping lung illness is scaring people off of quitting or sending people back to cigs. I was in our shop here last week which is by no means advanced vaping stuff. Probably mid to low range. Post the news reports on the illnesses they have gone from a moderately profitable business to loosing big money weekly. They are just trying to hold on now hoping trump doesn't kill them outright with his announcement. The ONLY reason they are still open is the owner is passionate about helping smokers to quit. He wants desperately to stay open as long as possible but even he admits unless there is a change he won't be able to do that.

I’ve been on the Recipies for Dummies thread here for the last couple hours in between watching a movie with the husband who goes outside for his smoke breaks. Lots and lots of amazing, simple ideas. I, too, will likely not ever come up with my own; no point for me to try to reinvent the wheel while so many experienced mixers already have done the legwork.

Ok I don’t wanna be a dum dum so someone help me please. Purty please.

Do these parts go with this tank. View attachment 851083View attachment 851085

Yes, those are the right ones

I must wholeheartedly agree. As a vape shop employee, besides the whole “community” aspect of the shop, 90% of my customers were blue-collar workers who came in once a week for a single coil and their juice. Much of the time I knew their names, what they used, and they’d buy the same thing, over and over again. If there was a problem with their tank or device, it was a HUGE deal as it was the only one they had, and buying any new gear was a very well thought-out endeavor that generally meant I walked them through it and set it up for them.

When they needed help, they really, really needed help.

 

[bnrkwest]

Thank you! I’m so excited. Now I just need to pick some out. Weeee!

They are great I have so many flavors, here's some I like

Bless you, brnkwest, as I am tired and don’t want to make a mistake.
