Sounds like a solid business plan. I'll get right on it. Maybe Rancid Roadkill. 2% of gross sales for the name?

The funny thing is, the particular mix I was thinking about did not have any menthol in it :) I have exaggerated how bad it is, but it started as Mango Lychee. I was looking to fill in some gaps, added a little of this and that (again, no menthol or cheesecake, I don't even have any) and it turned into something that was slightly worse but okay, nothing special. I put it at the back of my group of bottles, so it was steeping. A week or two later, I tried it again and I can't taste any mango at all, but it does have a menthol cool to it. It doesn't taste nauseating, but it doesn't taste like anything pleasant either. I'll give it another try in an rda, no way I am filling up an rta with it.

That and one other black cherry mix that was one of my first DIY tries are the two that I have been sitting on for months. I should probably give them a final try, then toss them. I've vaped everything else to the last drop.

Oops forgot about the FW Dragonfruit and FW Yumberry tries. They were straight mixes, both turned out to be immediate coil crusters. Could probably dilute them and add other stuff, just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm sorry, but I've just got to sit here and laugh.

My very first experience with DIY was quite the eye-opener. Based off a recommendation I bought sucralose. I was making a very basic peppermint juice and again, based off a recommendation I put 1 drop of sucralose for every 3ml of juice. When I tasted it I almost thought I had accidentally filled by RDA with the sucralose instead of the mixed juice. It was all I could taste. I quickly learned to use that stuff very sparingly.

Pay is lower down there though.

It's all relative.

You can make 50% more than I do in gross pay, but if your cost of living is 60% more than mine I actually have more money than you do.

A point I recently had to explain to my cousin in California who was bragging about making $15k per year more than me, until I pointed out that his 40 year old 1600sq foot home costs him nearly $450k more than my 10 year old 2400sq foot home cost me. His mortgage payments are over $2,800 per month, mine are less than $800 per month. So he makes $15k per year more than me, but spends $24k per year more on his significantly smaller home. The end result is I have $9k more per year than he does, without factoring in any other cost of living increases in his state (such as state income tax, which I don't have at all)

If only everything stayed in balance. I would not mind paying $100 for a bottle of juice if I made $150/hr.

And uyes the company I worked for wanted me to transfer to southern CA in the late 70's. I checked it out and figured out that even with the generous raise the offered me I would be taking an effective pay cut.
No to mention having a yard measured in sq ft vs acres.
