In the world of DIY I'm very much a novice. So much to learn and I don't doubt for a minute that we'll all have to learn about DIY mixing if we want to continue enjoying flavours. Your country, my country it doesn't matter - BT has deep pockets and long arms and our freedoms always seemed on borrowed time to me
I actually like FlavorArt custard DIY straight with a drop of sweetener. When I add other flavors to it the custard is not as strong so I mix it straight up :)

Today's vape mail was a Pulse (another backup for the backup). Nice little squonker too. Perfect for those out and about trips. 8ml bottle. Fully mech and takes a 20700 or 18650 with the included adapter.

I bought it from eciggity for $19.99 (came to $24 and some change w/shipping). Ordered on the 2nd arrived today. Pulse BF Box Mod by Vandy Vape
I had mine out today (aqua panels)... a kind shiny fixed mine to take a 21700. My other two I left 18650. I really do like it. Bought a gross of bottles and maybe a half dozen panel sets when I found them on rock bottom clearance. It’s just a solid little bugger!

I was just looking at other custard flavors that don't have the bad stuff in them, I think I'll get them and mix all the custards together and see what I get LOL

Well, IMO, you're a very lucky DIY novice. vape Train flavorings are made in Australia! There's only 1 vendor in the US who VT will sell their flavorings to here. If/when he's out of stock on some...we have to wait quite awhile for them to be available again.

There are several VT flavorings that people who DIY use singly (along with plain VG, plain PG, and nic base) to make some very tasty eliquids! One of my favorites is their Hazelnut and Cream. Another one is their Lemon Meringue Tart. The LMT is also used to make a wonderful Lemon Meringue Pie recipe that many people love! There's another VT flavoring in it, too.

    Kinda blows my mind how I can drop $3.5k on vaping gear to last me a lifetime but I'm being cheap and procrastinating ordering flavor, batteries, and glass to put the nic in because my credit card bill is high.

    I'm also kind of in "trouble" at work. My office manager spilled her coffee on herself fishing all of my packages out of the mailbox on Monday. I'm now in charge of getting the mail, although I may get my own key out of it so maybe being in "trouble" isn't all that bad!

    If there's one good thing to come out of this it's that this whole stockpile effort really put the brakes on my sneaker addiction... for now. Waiting for this one pair to go on sale...

    Yes we have to remember this is a lifetime supply we are getting, yes it costs $ to do it, but it is our last chance. I went over to FT to look around, and I thought enjoy it because soon we may not be able to. All that vape stuff could be gone with China crack downs and US bans. So I will pick up a few more tanks soon while I still can.

    Dear Haktuspit,

    You are one of my undersung heroes. Denver CO, the cost of property ownership must be incredible. I have family in the area, they are in Aurora, but I feel you.

    Bro I don't even technically own my car! :lol:

    Someday, despite the high cost of living I'll own a house. I've been laid off 4 times since '08. Right now is me bouncing back.

    Of course, just when I discovered the 17track app lol. Two parcels left en route... sourcemore is headed across the water. FT as usual is taking the scenic route :rolleyes:. I will miss getting packages, even if was just wire or orings, it was something to look forward to

    But, you should be able to still order things like that to get vapemail, no? Various types of wire and o-rings are needed/used by people other than vapers. Several more I can think of are: the easy squeeze bottles we use for eliquid bottles, blunt needle tips, syringes, battery cases, chargers, cables, wall warts, battery wraps, etc. :thumbs:

    ETA: Besides...just think of all the thousands of things FT carries, that you just might need, or not. Could even be some new hobbies or collections of things started, so you'd get packages in the mail. I know that happened to me when I took up jewelry making as a hobby and later started collecting small vintage Hondas. Both required the purchasing of parts, which led to lots of incoming packages. :D

    I actually use a FT little flashlight everyday, it takes replaceable AAA batts and it is great for chores when it gets dark so early. I put it on lanyard, works great! So yes still things to order just not vape stuff in the future.

    Say, when you mix that Flavourart custard straight up, what percentage do you usually use? I'd like to try that for myself.

    I mix 10 drops in 10 ml mixed base, I think that is 5%. Then I add a drop of sweetener.
