Hangsen tobaccos make up 95% of my DIY mixes. I've been concerned about their availability, with the possible 'tobacco' bulls eye on them. I decided not to take a chance, and did some stocking up from BCV & RTS. All totaled up, I have about 1.5 liters of Hangsen tobacco flavorings. I'm going to transfer all the BCV to glass, keep it in a cool, dark place, and hope for the best, with shelf life. I'll try and supplement the Hangsen with some NET.

I wish I could find satisfaction with the fruit & dessert vapes. That would make life easier, but after 45 yrs of smoking, I need that tobacco craving satisfied.
I'm in the same boat as you, tobacco flavors only for me, I have loaded up on Hangsen and Inawera flavors, and also a few different tobacco absolutes. With the TA's, a little goes a really long way!

I just broke down another liter for long term storage. I found one of the easiest ways to fill the 120ml bottles I've ever done. I used a 16oz squeeze bottle like this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Vestil-BTL-R...468088365&sr=1-6&keywords=16oz+squeeze+bottle

I filled it from the liter of nic over the sink with zero drips and simply squeezed the base into 120ml bottles over the sink. The best part is when you take the pressure off the squeeze bottle it stops the flow and sucks the base right back in. You can go very slowly at the end into the neck and cut it off with precision every time. I've never had it so clean and easy and I've been doing this a long time.

Here's a snap of how I store my bottles. I vacuum seal them in groups. No banging around and they sit stable and upright in rows on the bottom shelf of my icebox.

Nice job! Also glad to see someone labels just like I do, no lot numbers. I'm wrapping my bottles in two layers of that thin foam apliances usually come wrapped in these day. It's thinner than bubble wrap and seems to work just as well. Why? Bought a 500ml bottle of nic with argon gas at the top and "froze" it. Husband promptly dumped it out of the freezer and broke the cap. At least the glass didn't crack. It was in bubble wrap but not the top. Lesson learned.
This is my juice makin' case. It's a beauty case I got at Goodwill for $5. Flavorings in the door and first 3 drawers. Syringes, needles, test kit, small bottles for test batches and eye droppers in the bottom drawer. Larger flavorings for my ADV, Nic base, gloves, beakers, etc to the left of the drawers. I have vape stickers that are supposed to be all over the case. lol

Closed up, nice and tidy!

What a Goodwill score (and wothy charity)! I was seriously jelous until remembering I usually do one flavor per six months or more. Nice job, congratulations:thumbs:.
LOL

What a Delight-ful trip.

Pun intended.

Reminds me of the vacation my AW batts from Provape took to Vacaville, CA before never arriving to me in MD.

Shipped entirely to the wrong coast. :facepalm:

I had a shipment that went from HI to LA, Florida, somewhere I can't remember, FL, LA, Sacramento and then to me. Figured out it had traveled a distance equal to half way around the globe at its circumference. Go figure why shipping is so expensive these days. ;)

Excuse me while I vomit. Oh wait, dry heaves now.

:lol:

I wish I was that organized or even had the room to be that organized. That really is very nice. If it was mine, the first thing I'd do is knock over a bottle on the top of that stack, but that's just me (or, more likely, my husband). Very nicely organized!

I've got a blue serenity gear sleeve for my ProVari mini that matches perfectly..... but it's sooooooooo damn tight I've never been able to actually use it. Then with the constant changing of batteries I figured hell.....once I get it on & vape it'll be time to take it off again. :lol:

I then developed a fascination for phone holsters (LDWest) & @Susan W. pointed me to vape holsters (Guerrilla Straps) but I had to return my vape holster cause once inserted my mod spent more time falling out than staying in. Hopefully their V2 fixes this.

    Dang, I feel inadequate. That is enough stuff for 5 people's lifetimes.

    In case I miss it on the 14th, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, Scandalex.

    I need to up my TA game. I have Samara Rustica and INW Virginia. I haven't been able to spend as much time experimenting with them as I'd like to. Something that goes a long way, like the TAs are perfect for the stock up stash. Thanks for the reminder.

    What are you looking for in a carto?

    I've been trying to find a tank and cartridge that work together. I'm trying to find a tank that will work for the cartridges you pointed out that were on sale (was just searching for your comment on that sale. Can't remember store.)

    I've been getting my cartos lately from MadVapes. $.59 a piece. The tanks you can still get from IBTanked, at least I think they are still selling them, an excellent tank for the money.
    Tanks can be purchased from Phiniac also. The Phiniac Tank

    I need cartos! LOL

    I saw that Halo has cartos which I believe will only fit on their equipment, right? If so, I don't want to buy them.
    Halo has 808 Cartos so you will need a 510 to 808 adaptor if using a mod with 510 connection. I have a bunch on hand just incase :)

    I remember when the best set up possible was a Phiniac tank on a Provari :)
