Kawfee beanz iz purdy, I can almost smell 'em.
Holy vape cave, Batman! I'm in awe...

You'd blow a snot bubble laughin at my paltry collection.

(How many bottles before it's classified as a "collection"?...Don't bother answering that)

Who wants to see Dinger blow a snot bubble?

Since I have about 500 flavor bottles now, I have a spreadsheet. I label all of my bottles by number (masking tape on the top of the lid with the number written on it) in the little bins I keep them in and have the spreadsheet (alphabetized by flavor name) tacked to the door of my desk that I use to mix in. When I need Apple TFA, I look on the spreadsheet to find apple and see what bottle number it is--then I can pull it out easier.
Wow! 500! That is a lot of flavorings! Lol The spreadsheet is a perfect method. I really respect how organized a spreadsheet would be.

Guys, looking for organization? Here's my "vape cave"

vapecavemedium-jpg.463961


Flavors are grouped by "likeness". Vanillas upper left; miscellaneous/tobaccos lower left; two shelves on the right are fruits and beverages. There's a shelf below that has candies and bakery flavorings. I put little stickies on the tops of the bottles (mostly alphabetized, but if I can't see the front label, I can see the top.)
That is nice! Very beautiful vape den!

Good morning everyone! Like Chad said I've been busy so this is my first day since Wednesday of being here. Lots of IRL stuff going on.

@markfm So that's what coffee beans look like before they are roasted? That is so cool! What do they smell like?

Fresh beans have a hay-like, slightly floral, scent, nothing like the wonderful smell after roasting. They are also about 1/2 the size of roasted beans.
So they puff up while they are roasting? Or am I confused and they shrink? Sorry! Too much sleep last night I guess. :)

Yes, they puff up from roasting, expansion. There is a "first crack" that sounds like popcorn popping.


After first crack you have what is known ad a City roast. Continue a bit longer and you reach City Plus.

A bit later there is Second Crack, sounds like Rice Krispies. If you stop roasting just before then, or just slightly into Second Crack, you get a Full City roast - the beans have just a little oil showing on some of them.
