Something that many new DIYers don't realize is that it's important B4 you make a flavoring order...to find several recipes you're SURE you want to make, and then buy the flavorings for those recipes. Too many who are new to DIY go through lists of flavorings and just pick out ones that sound good to them...based on candy they like, or fruits, or desserts, etc.

Until they look at a bunch of recipes and do some reading about DIY, they don't realize that there are definite types of flavorings you need some of, for most recipes! Most of those the newbies pick out are primary flavorings! Then they come on the ECF with a list of those and ask all excitedly, "OK, I've got these flavorings! What recipes can I make with them?" Huh??

(It's like going to the grocery store and buying all kinds of meats. Then coming home and asking someone for a good recipe to make a stew with it or dinner. Where's the potatoes, the carrots, maybe some celery? How about the spices? Etc.)

They don't know about the secondary flavorings (what I call blenders), nor accents, nor sweeteners, etc. Probably 90% of the recipes they'll find will call for some flavorings that are several of those types, if they're more than just 1-2 flavoring recipes.

I hate it when even online...you can almost feel the disappointment the newbie is feeling, when all they've bought is primary flavorings, and no one can come up with a recipe for them. It's a big disappointment for them for sure.

This is extremely helpful to this DIY noob, so thank you. I haven't purchased any flavorings yet because it is so overwhelming. I have been vaping pretty much the same flavor of premade juice from the start.

Gosh, sorry if I sound like a broken record. Same set up, same juice :confused: lol

The Dragon is so beautiful, one of my favorites. I am even considering a 2nd one, if there are any left. :lol:
I don't know if it's just my connection, but their site is running slow...for me. :lol:

Well, I was kind of hoping you could tell us how much it would actually run. Have you priced one out??
I have a buddy in Wales, I know he'd love one too. In fact, I'm going to go send him a message...

Hey. What's the discount code then?

Totally :offtopic: again but look at the colour of this diy steeped yellow cake, custard and lemon, 12 mg. crazy red.
The bottle is an old turnt bottle. Couldn't be bothered to peel the label. That's lazy.
I've included my cat to make it more interesting.

    Forgot to mention, in case anyone is interested in the black satin mini, it says 29.99 but when you click on it, price changes to 49.99. I notified Provape but they won't read the ticket until tomorrow.

    Like the others said, compared to what they used to run, it's still a great deal.
    I agree though, a lot for shipping.

    Ha Ha, I was again considering the raspberry P3 and it is gone! Saved me money on that one.
    I love it when that happens. :laugh: I'll want something, but not want to spend the money, and while I'm going back and forth about getting it, someone else buys it, or they run out... :D
    ...problem solved. :lol:
    I figure, if I *really* want it, I'll snatch it...:laugh:

    Ugh!!!!!

    Why can't I just stop already?!?

    On an un-vaping related note... I also stocked up on THIS!!! I went to the convenience store this afternoon to grab a soda and got a punch right in the childhood!!

    Provape was out of the Dragon for a time and I really wanted one. I saw one day they had them in stock and I went for it. Was afraid they'd sell out if I hesitated. I paid like $50 for it. Now I see them for $30. :( Yeah, debating on getting a second since I've been thinking about buying another Provari or two anyway. If I wait long enough, maybe they will sell out- problem solved! :p

    I was looking at this thing last night and wanted to put it in my cart so bad. This is while knowing I'm a DL vapor and it basically wouldn't do me any good until I ran out of everything else.
