I won't order any cinnamon flavors -- I overdid it and now don't enjoy them. I just keep looking for line extensions for you because you'll never reach your stated goal of a flavor for every day of the year without having variations on a theme.

I don't drink cola (and I haven't tried Vanilla Cola the Fire Kitty ordered for me) but Cherry Cola is another possibility. That might actually taste like Dr. Purrpurr.

Found a source for standard caps. We can all breathe a sigh of relief now... :)

Try to 86 the hard plastic PET bottles also. The softer PE bottles are much better also, IMHO.

Can you really add a flavor a day and properly test it and get the formulation correct? That seems like a pretty daunting feat.

Much better how? The soft ones are way more susceptible to leakage during shipment...

Dr Purrpurr might be my favorite juice name of all time, but maybe it should have a hint of grape to go with the purrrrpurrrle name :)

I like that name, too!

It snowed in Calgary today, so the mailman was running behind. :( No chance of a deej shipment this morning, but perhaps when I get home! I'm tearing through this chrysanthemum and have separation anxiety.

Oh noes! Breathe, baked, breathe!





:-x No cruelty to FireKitty! :-x

He is an avid DeejStuff fan!

He cannot be blamed for wanting to

keep all of the delicious DeejStuff for himself!

:rules:


No FireKitties will be harmed... :)

oh my goodness, FireKitty is a speed demon! I ordered more CantaMelon (and cantamelon cheesecake & cantamelon champagne & a handful of other incredibles including Jasmine!), on Friday afternoon around 430p EST - it arrived in the mail today!!!

Thank you Deej & FireKitty for bringing CantaMelon madness to my life! I'm only going to have a tiny taste of each - Trying to force myself to let it steep this time, so one or two drips today & then into the steeping box they will go :)

I'm a very happy birthday monkey :party: :thumbs::banana::toast:

I agree with Kitty!

The softer bottles are awful IMO!

:2c:

I like to keep the smaller bottles
to re-fill from larger and glass bottles when out-and-about.

When you put the dropper-top back on the softer ones,
the e-liquid goes every-where because the softer bottle-neck squishes down,
making a mess and wasting the

precious and delicious

Thanks Deej!

I have mixed feelings about the bottles - the softer bottles ARE much easier to squeeze & drip, however the harder large bottles are more durable & less prone to leakage from squishing. I have been saving all of the bottles I receive so that I can easily fill a different sizes for different functions & needs - I usually have a few 5-10ml bottles of my favorites in a case that I can hang from my cane - that way they're always handy if I need to top off a carto. I don't like to carry a full 30ml in that pouch, especially if it's a soft bottle since Iron Puppy likes to sit on things he shouldn't, and he is big enough to squish the larger soft bottles. I will say that I haven't had any real problems with soft bottles squishing while removing or replacing the drip stopper, but I'm still pretty new :)

I think you should use whichever bottles you prefer Deej, and keep offering the option of glass bottles - I think I may try those next time!

It's evening now. :D

Not for me... :laugh:

RE: Soft (leaky) vs. hard (to squeeze) bottles.

Syringes, people. Blunt tip, 16-18 gauge syringes. Laws vary by state, but some sites on ECF sell them, and you can also usually find them at your local tractor & feed store (yeah I know, Poeia ... not in The City!) :) Look in the Veterinary section.

amazon.com

That's all I'm sayin'

The 5 & 10ml bottles are too hard to drip. The 20mls are nice. I bought these 1/2 oz flat bottles for carrying around. I've been ordering mostly small bottles recently (taste testing) but when I split up a larger one, these fit in my carrying case much better -- zipping it closed doesn't put pressure on them.

I think he said his eventual goal is to have 365 flavors -- not to add one every day. But I can't imagine coming up with 365 completely different flavors. The multiple variations within a line (different cheesecake, champagne & lemonade flavors, for example) is the only way it can happen.



Dr Purrpurr might be my favorite juice name of all time, but maybe it should have a hint of grape to go with the purrrrpurrrle name :)
Dr. Pepper doesn't have grape in it. It's cherry and some other things. (I like it but it does taste a bit like carbonated prune juice.)

Luer lock syringes and needles are good. Go for 18-25 gauge on the needles (higher is thinner.) I bought some 15 gauge ones when I started and they don't go into the filler well but too narrow won't let juice through.

yeah... stay away from slip-tip syringes... I had one blow the needle off and splash juice into places juice was never meant to go!

blunt needles are available as a separate search on amazon... and you can find syringes of many various sizes without needles...

I tend to recommend against sharps... :)
