How's SandySue? Hope she's doing well ...

I'm doing well. I went to the doctor today and he removed the bandages. The staples come out Thursday. I got permission to type using both hands again. Whew! I have to make my first appointment for physical therapy. I'm not allowed to drive my car yet, but I figure it may not be long now. I'm going to try sleeping tonight on just Tylenol, no hard stuf. Wish me luck.

Hmm - Mark Twain was right! I've done it hundreds ... but "thousands"?!?!!!

Raynes - had to laugh ... over at Amazon on horse books: For Horse-Crazy Girls Only: Everything You Want To Know ...

The description was so DEAD ON! Here's a part:

Is your first and second favorite animal a horse? Is your bedroom covered with horse posters on your walls and horse models on your shelves? Would you rather muck out a stall than clean your room? Then you are absolutely, undeniably horse crazy, and this is the only comprehensive book about everything a horse-crazy girl needs to know about horses.

I'm wondering who let them into my room when I was in school! 2 walls from 3 foot off floor - they were one big collage!
Between vaping & horse stuff ... I'm so beyond broke! :toast:

Last Christmas, I gave this book to the teenager, Heather, who faithfully hand-walked Penny all last winter, 20 minutes every day. In spring, when Penny could be ridden, I started giving her riding lessons on Penny. Now she has her own horse, one her mom recently bought, Freska.

Sounds like you're comin' along SandySu. I'm hoping that you have a good, pain-free night. Fingers crossed.

Just another suggestion; it's really difficult to mess up these flavorings:

Capella Flavor Drops - Over 75+ Water Soluble Concentrated Flavorings

...except for the french toast...mixed it at 10% sweetened and it was horrible! Bitter and medicine-y. I thought I might've gotten a mislabeled bottle, but I dropped some into drinking water and it was almost right. So trying it at 3% now...not really liking their cheesecake either. Seems to be missing one ingredient: cream cheese! It's been steeping for 3 weeks, and I'm still waiting...

bummer...the two flavors I'm crazy about. :cry:

Holly, I suggested the grad cylinder because it's really easy to get lazy when your flavors come in dropper bottles. Counting drops is a PITA and very inaccurate, but dropping to the line isn't too bad, and you wouldn't have to take the bottle apart and remember to put the dropper back on. I forgot on one bottle and dumped that flavor all over the place when I tried to add a drop or two of it.

And if you do get Capella's, check out this deal: 5 Flavor Super Deal for 19.95
Add another item to get your order over $20, and shipping's only $2! :p

My body can't be counted on to be careful. Plus, I don't want to have to wear a mask.

I don't wear a mask, just elbow length gloves and a rubber apron. I open the garage door and have a box fan sitting on the table drawing the vapors away from me and blowing them out the garage door. When I get a new liter of 100% the first thing I do is cut it into batches of 25mg/ml with VG and put it in the refrigerator then I work with it as I need it. That way I only have to handle the 100mg one time. I use the Calculator from Scuba Dan which you can download from Xtreme for free along with 160 flavor recipes it's a bit more complex but it's also more versatile , so far I've only tried about 25 of them but I've only found 6 or 7 that I really like. Flavorart is one of the best places I've found for extracts but most of the guy's I mix for like the Marlboro extract that Wizard sells, if you like the cowboy it's a lot like that but a little stronger. I don't care for the tobacco flavors since about the first month of vaping, I go more for the sweet stuff.

sorry about the wind, Officer,,,,,,,that sucks :( I'd be lost without the internet :)

You and me both! I live about 100 miles past the middle of nowhere and wouldn't have any human contact other than the family and the club without it. I dearly love both but I don't always want to talk about family issues and motorcycles so I am a member of about 6 forums that cover the gambit from politics to Vaping.

extra PG,,,,,,check!

wow, you all make your own??????????

I didn't realize how HELPFUL this board would be for DIY! thanks so much, you guys!!!

If you look around where you live you can buy both PG and VG much cheaper at Pharmacy's and chemical supply stores. If you add in the shipping I pay less than half of what Wizard or Xtreme are charging and it's the same USA, USDA inspected and the brand I buy is even Kosher. I get my VG in 1/2 gallon brown glass containers.

Speaking of wind I just ordered that weather station you recommended cant wait to get it.

Just don't tell your neighbors you have it, some day's like yesterday I get 10 or 15 phone calls from people wanting to know what the wind speed is or what kind of weather to expect, some days I fell like the national weather service. It's a cool toy especially if you hook it to your computer and link it to the network of stations around you. Ham Radio is next on my list of toy's, maybe Santa will bring me that...:D

Some people steep, some don't. It's all up to you, Holly. If you mix something at the amounts you want and it doesn't taste exactly the way you want, let it sit somewhere for a while. Flavor and potency change over time.

You'll learn as you go along what you like and what you don't like. Start with the one flavor mixes; watermelon and apricot you mentioned. There's a starting point. Have fun!!!

Mine will steep in the bottle for as long as it takes me to vape it. I let a bottle of my favorite Almond Amaretto Cappuccino steep for about 14 days and I couldn't tell any difference from the stuff I mixed the same day I opened it but my taste buds might be permanently fried from 35 years of smoking either way I wake up to it every morning and it is my favorite of all. I don't think I could go back to smoking unless someone made a cigarette that tasted just like it...
