Thanks for the coffee Blues, Strong and Black just like... never mind.

Holly if you want a real easy way to mix get a few 20ml syringes, I bought a bunch of graduated cylinders but pouring VG out of them is likw watching the grass grow, it takes forever. The syringes are cheap and very accurate and if you knock them over they don't spill. Sometimes I have problems with dropping things when I wear gloves and the syringes have saved the day many times for me. You can just wash them in hot tap water and reuse forever. Awsum gave me a good tip, put clear packing tape over the graduations and you wont wash or wear them off. Wizard sells the 20ml real cheap, I bought 10 and have only used 3 in two months. Get some pipettes to measure your flavoring and write down how much you used that way when you hit the sweet spot you can duplicate the formula with ease. This thread is starting to look like the DIY forum, I love it! :vapor:

...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

One of the few flavors that I still get from LorAnn's is their Cheesecake. It works for me.

My favorite from Capella's is the Vanilla Custard. It is to die for! It is one flavoring that I cannot do without. :p

Lilac, White Chocolate and Macadamia cookies sound heavenly! Can I have two. :laugh:

Please have all you want, Marlou. I've had them and they taste heavenly, too. ;)

I have a free 30 day trial at Netflix and I've been catching up on Supernatural. I can also get all 9 seasons of the X-Files. I'm sure there are more I would like to see. I think I prefer Netflix over Hulu. I may decide to stay with Net. I wish I could figure out how to watch on my Tablet. I am technologically challenged. :confused:

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...

That's my problem. 42 years of smoking. But now: over 3 years without. :D

I stuck with Netflix and dropped Hulu....didn't like watching the commercials. lol

Can't you just sign in on Netflix on your tablet and then pick something to watch? I'm sorry if that's a stupid question because I don't have a tablet and have never used one. I either watch Netflix on my big desk monitor or send it to the tv when I want to sit in the recliner. :)

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

Heh I think my area is urban enough to not have to deal with the neighbors aside from being asked "what's that". I was looking at the software. How do you like it?

Not a stupid question at all, Marlou. This is my first Tablet and I have spent a few minutes playing around with it. I may have to get one of my techies (Hub and DD) involved.

Am I the only person on this thread that is not interested in DIY? I mean NO interest.

The saving money part sounds good, but the only way I'd want to DIY is if that was the only way I could get eliquid. I have some eliquid flavors I really love and there's no way I could duplicate them.

The subject can get tiresome. Feel free to head us in a different direction. I thought your tablet would spark more interest. What kind do you have? Raven has been playing around with a tablet for a while.
