Grrrrrr... those worthless :censored: lazy :censored: idiots (a.k.a. USPS) have done it again. Now I have to call a customer first thing Monday morning, explain why I can't deliver on time & hope I don't lose the sale. :glare: Must be nice to have a cozy little gov't 'job', make way too much money on top of the benefits/retirement that they don't earn & still not do a job that trained monkeys couldn't screw up. [/rant]
Let me guess................could it be that you are not happy with the postal people?:blink:

a lot of business people are fighting to keep support up and running for XP.....it is widely used. Time will tell I guess.

We finally switched to Windows 7 over the summer and I am glad we did. XP was turning into a dog and becoming a nightmare for compatibility issues. Caused a lot of instability with the company's software. Windows 7 is rock solid though. :)

I need to stop checking Singapore Post. This is going to be a long wait and checking it four times a day isn't helping... Is the pot boiling? no.. Is it boiling now? no... Now? NO....

Was a very popular os. Maybe they'll extend the deadline for a year like they did for the one it replaced.

we still have one or two around the office and all but 2 of the others are "7".....then since I needed a dual monitor and an upgrade the stuck me with "8"..... and I hate it.

Sweet, got my order in and it all smells very good, all of them I can identify right off the bat except for the sticky bun and hawk sauce. They don't smell bad they just smell interesting.

In the last 3 months, they've cost me 3 very expensive projects, the future business from those customers & I've had to discount 2 repeat customers' projects. In the last 3 months alone. :glare: This time it's put me in another bind. The custom piece was supposed to show up yesterday, it was scanned in today so it's sitting there but they can't walk it a couple feet to a PO box. I can't do anything more on that project until I get that part. I was irritated yesterday since it put me a day behind, but I figured I could work 22 hour days over the weekend & be caught up... now I'll be 3 days behind & I have to deliver on Tuesday. Even without sleeping or vape breaks or eating there's no possible way to finish on time. Them not doing their job because they're just too lazy to bother is taking food off my table. Yeah. I'm slightly unhappy.

buy the 36mg nic solution and 0mg PG/VG, then use this calculator to tune it down to 15. You will need a way to measure your liquids. You can get cheap graduated cylinders, which is what I use. DIY is not hard at all, but it does take a small investment to get into. If you are going to make your own flavors, I suggest making small, single flavor batches. Let them steep, find what you like, then tweak your recipes. There are a lot of good recipes out there already you can emulate, but the most fun is coming up with your own. And there will be stinkers, trust in that.

Thanks. I already have all the appropriate chemistry gear, back from my days playing with perfume oils and shea butter. (No, I'm not DustyZ posting under a different account.) :)

So pretty much all I need is base, nic, flavor, bottles to put it in, and to set aside the time.

I think the 36mg + 0mg option would make the most sense as you can measure it down to whatever mg level you want, but the biggest factor for me would be that if you are ordering from MBV, the 236ml bottle of pg/vg with nic is $29.99 and the bottle of just pg/vg is only $7.99, that's a lot of savings :)

Good point. I hadn't checked pricing yet.

Unhappy with my selections from mbv.

Did I choose terrible juices, or is mbv not for me?

I got 30 ml bottles of the following:

Texas sweet tea (70/30 dw h2o)
Rum tobacco
Vanilla tobacco
Thug juice
Hawk sauce
Zinger
Cake (yellow cake)

None impressed me. Taste is subjective. What I like, you may not... and vice versa.

I shared the order with my son's, one who likes menthol likes the hawk sauce and thug juice.

The rum tobacco and vanilla tobacco have ZERO tobacco flavor to me, zero.

The cake taste chemically, the zinger not horrible, taste like lemon...citrus...

The sweet tea taste like sugar water. Just sweet no other flavors.

They're fresh still... about 10 days old now, no change in flavor.

Left the caps off overnight, let them sit in a hot tap water bath for 4+ hours changing water when it cooled down and shaking bottles each water change...and let them sit for over a week... still unimpressed.

[QUOTE=Sambuca;11706112]hello Mr High Falootin' Seanchai! :D

good job making your sister happy!

greetings Dusty, Mike, Mia and everybody else!

Mcol, you know windows 7 is gonna be obsolete soon, right? :ohmy:

-------------------

Sam......I have windows 8 at work and it SUCKS....will take "7" anytime. I really hope the decide they have made a huge mistake like several times before and make it GO away. Often I want to knock it off my desk....it does not play well with my email, spreadsheets, or a lot of previous programs.....and finding anything on it is near impossible. good to keep getting windows 7 if your smart !!!!

I use Windows 8 on three different machines and love it.

Get your IT team to move you to Windows 8.1. And if you don't have a touch screen, have them set it up to boot directly to the desktop.
