:oops: Sorry everyone :facepalm:

Hello Tea Cup. :wub: No worries. I wrote to him and I see that he posted right here after that.

Mornin' Dale :) While I am very sorry for Dusty_Z, I am glad it wasn't "our" Dusty. My brother lost everything to an apartment fire ~15 yrs ago. It is a horrible, horrible thing.

Gonna try to sleep now; got to work tonight. I tried to catch a few hours last night but could never fall asleep. Maybe because I slept til 5:30pm yesterday?? :rolleyes: My poor body never knows when it is supposed to conk out or when it is supposed to wake up :facepalm: :laugh:

Hi TinkerBabe. :wub:

I hope you get/got some good sleep. :)

Good morning Beach :D

no I am not quitting my position as a mod in the Spanish forum, someone has to keep an eye open there, it is a very very slow mottion thread but it needs the eye :)

i dont worry about me, i will pay my visit to the beach, not as frequently as i use to do it but i will, right now my biggest compromise is a promise i made in a thread, i have to go there a least once a day :)

LIS!!! :w00t: I'm so glad you'll be staying with us!!! :D Buenas Dias, Mi Amigo. :)

Still bad news. The time of year just makes it worse!!!!!!!!

Good morning everyone. :)

Hi JJ. :wub:

Yes, I hate it for Dusty_Z, but I'm glad our Dusty is OK. :D

Good morning Beach(ers) :)

I'm going to a friend's for a tree decorating party soon. I hope it will be fun :D


A local commuter train derailed early this morning...people are dead and injured :( Please send out good energy towards NY today :thumb:

Hello Stone. :)

Wow, bad news for NY. These things usually happen in 3's. I hate to wonder what's next. :(

I love decoration parties. I hope you enjoy yours. :)

You can come and decorate my whole house! It will be a blast!! :D

:lol: I wish I could come help, too. :D

OK, now I really, really am going to try to get some sleep…. :sleep:

Sleep Well, Darlin'. :thumb:

Go to bed with all my love watching and protecting your dreams :wub:

So sweet. You see now how the ladies couldn't live without you? :D

:cry: I will.

Have a good nap Tink!!!

In a bit, other set of grandparents are coming to pick up GD. They are going to go see a movie. Then we leave to go see one too. Hunter Games (2).

I watched The Hunger Games Part 1 last night in prep for Part 2. No Spoilers, OK? :lol:

    Good Afternoon, Early Bird. :D How are you this lovely day, Dearest. :wub:

    Doing okay :)
    Got a bunch of DIY nicotine put up in glass bottle's this morning for the freezer, had lunch ... thinking about a nap if activity doesn't pick up around here ;)

    I don't know if I want to see that second movie or not, was really disappointed with the first one after reading the books :unsure:

    You may already know this, but the only DIY things you need to freeze are the Nic Base and the USP. Anything you mix should be OK left out if you'll be vaping it. Otherwise, the refrigerator is OK (not frozen). I like to keep mine in glass bottles. Some things are OK to vape right away, and any of them can be, but some are much better if allowed to steep for 2 weeks, and some need a month or two. If you make a big enough batch, you can taste the ones that get better with time.

    Movies are hardly ever as good as the book they came from. Things are condensed, you can't know what's in someone's mind, and screenplays are changed to suit that persons likes and dislikes. I'm not a big reader, so I never know the difference.

    Yes, that's what I was doing; transferring a lot of base to glass bottles for long term freezing :) I also kept a small amount out for keeping in the refrigerator to play with. What's USP?

    Oh goodness, I read everyday of my life! Practically inhaled those Hunger Game books even tho' they were geared towards "youth" :)

    Whenever I have read a book that captured me, I was the same way. :)

    USP is the Unflavored VG or PG that you use to cut your Nicotine base. As you know, the Nicotine base comes in VG or PG also. I bought 36mg/ml in 100% VG, and I cut it down to 6.5mg/ml with 100% VG USP, including whatever percentage of Flavor I've added. So mine are still all VG without any PG, including the fact that there is Zero PG in my Flavorings. There's Oils and Ethyl Alcohol in them, but no PG. The Nicotine base (as I'm calling it) is some amount of nicotine mixed with either USP VG or PG.

    Your Unflavored USP VG or PG has no nicotine in it. Your nicotine base has nicotine added to either USP VG or PG, or possibly a combination of both, but generally not. You cut your nicotine base with Unflavored USP to get the nicotine strength of nicotine you want. This cut has to include whatever Flavorings you'll be adding.

    Ah! Got ya' :) That's what I thought, I do have some straight PG & VG without nicotine for that and they are in the freezer also.

    I really should have just bought "Unflavored" in my choice of nic load but I kind of messed up a few times so now I have waaaay too much stuff I may never use :oops:

    But I do know some people who might take it off my hands ;)

    I remember you saying that you bought 24mg strength of your flavored juices. But cutting it down to say 12mg also dilutes the strength of the Flavor. :(

    Stone has given you some advice, but if you decide to get into full DIY, I can be of assistance, too. I've been doing it since January. There's really not much to it. You just need a few mixing tools like beakers, cylinders, and a couple things. I use an online e-liquid calculator to tell me how much Nic Base, USP, and amount of Flavoring to add for say a 100ml batch.

    I tell it I have 36mg/ml VG and I want a 6.5mg/ml end result. I tell it I want say 15% cinnamon red hots, and it tells me how many ml of each item to add. It also says how many drops of each, which is nice for a small test batch of say only 10ml. When there's only 22 drops of flavor to be added, that's easier than measuring it in a cylinder.

    The beauty is that it doesn't have to be absolutely precise. If my measurements are off just a little, I'm still close enough to my desired goal of 6.5mg/ml for Me. Many other DIYers feel the same way.

    Yes, he did and I got some stuff to do as he advised :) And you did link me to a chart which I saved in my bookmarks :) Thanks for that by the way!

    LOL's ... I can't keep up with you!! :laugh:

    That's me, as long as it's close enough I just want to kind of play around with it ... and have the nic base for in case ... well, you know :)
