Sorry for your loss sparky, I know the feeling, as a lot of us do. Hang in there, then the good memories will take over. The cat we lost is my avatar.

that's why I put her up as my avatar too. And this must have been a sign 3 weeks ago my wife picked up a little one someone threw out to fend for himself the heartless jerks but he is identical to the one we lost only smaller and male. Ok end of hijack thread here.

Sparky, don't you worry about hijacking the thread! We all know how hard it is...and the need to hear comforting words from friends.

Has anyone heard anything else on the rumor that Flavour Art is going to stop wholesaling to vendors? Most of my flavorings are FA, and I'll be damned if I'm ordering from Italy! When I first started DIY (and when I thought I still had money) I ordered directly from them and it cost a small fortune :(

I haven't heard that but if its true it wouldn't affect me as bad as others. There's a couple of FA bottles that I would want to keep around but they last me a long time so I wouldn't need to reorder them but once or twice a year anyway. The others I would just supplement from NF. I'm turning into a big NF fan. The FA stuff is already a little high, if it gets any higher I would have to pass.

OMG I love Oba Oba by Flavourart. After a 2 week steep this flavor is really good.
The three flavors I mixed last week, Caramel creme, kona cream and butterscotch are improving. Today, I added some EM (cotton candy) flavoring to the mix to see if it would cut out a funky note I was tasting. So far, they improved and I am now happy with these flavors. :)

I doubt that there is any truth at all to that. RTS is going to offer 120s of every FA Flavor in about 2 months or less :D They said FA will take about 45 days to get there.

You should try the Oba Oba after a month or two. :thumbs:

I love the Oba Oba too...I mix it 50/50 with FA coconut.

Salem, that's good news about RTS planning to stock larger bottles of FA. I kind of didn't believe the rumor, but you never know.

I have a wishlist on NF's site, but I can't pull the trigger until after I stock up on Fusions...when Isaac finally gets more in stock! My luck is that he'll get them in, and by the time I get the update, they'll all be gone again :unsure:

All this talk about Oba is making me want to mix up a batch. I'm going to try the 50-50 mix with Cocanut like your doing but add that to a tobacco type and see how it comes out.

For some reason all week Ive been running into people talking about coconut flavor. This is one I yet to try so recommend me a good coconut if you could. I cant see FA doing something like that. They will lose tons of customers cause people just will find replacements. I am also really enjoying the NF stuff. A week sitting really got rid of most of the alcohol taste in them for me. This is some really good stuff.

what does the Oba Oba taste like?
It is the only fruit blend I love. People who know me know that I cannot vape fruits for more than a minute...this is the only flavor I could vape forever.I have to limit myself to this flavor.

It does have a mellow fruity vanilla flavor. It does enhance with aging. This one should be blended with a tasteless nic base...When I first started mixing I used MFS and Boxelder. LOL I really thought it had some tobacco notes. However, it was just my harsh base. :) _

Yeah the NF stuff is awesome, I think I'm gonna put a hurtin on them the next time free shipping is offered. I've switched over to Bov's technique on the evap. Put it in a very shallow dish and nuke it. I did this twice on the 4 oz vanilla cream and reduced it just a little over 35%.
