LOL, I smoked whatever was on sale - could have had up to 3 brands in the house at one time.

I do not feel I have wasted any money on flavors since none have ever been poured down the sink and only one flavor was not vaped - but it did make a delicious double chocolate cake...

With a subtle pick-me-up kick, depending on the nic level. :)

I usually have 8 - 10 flavors ready to pick up and vape, but only about half are "regulars." Easy to play with other flavors when one DIYs.

That is one of the many benefits from DIY... Yep for sure a good result for all around...

Many of my DIY flavors are stand alones which I have a tendency to make mood mixes in a tank. Some Pineapple and Coconut when I am in the Mood for a Pina Colada!

With 9 tanks in rotation I had to start making labels to remember what I put in them at the time. With the RDA/RDTA tanks no big deal to change out the cotton for something new but the factory coild tanks you really need to know what was in it before!

Apparently so. Janet and I were never flavor junkies. We both vaped the same 2 juices for 4 years now. Our 1st year of vaping we tried dozens of flavors. Then Janet started DIYing and we settled on just two flavors. Hey for 45 years we smoked the same brand cigarettes. We thought we were doing good w/ 2 vaping flavors.

On the plus side ... all the $'s we saved not chasing flavors allowed me to build a nice collection of mods.
Apparently I'm heading in Steve's direction. I know I have over 100 10, 13, & 30ml bottles of flavors, & have started getting 4 oz sizes of the ones I use a lot. Then there are the new ones I got today from the Labor Day sales. That's the only time I buy anymore. Gives me time to save & do some puppy sitting. I got 5 pacakges today, 10 4oz bottles, 19 10, 13, & 30 mls. One more packge should be here Saturday. One package was 2 more Tobecco K5s. Now someone come mix some of this for me!

The bottles are multiplying even though I haven't bought any in a while I still have a bunch I bought that now need to be boxed up for storage. I get glass dropper bottles from a vape shop guy and I have hit a dry spell on creating new recipes. Flavorings on the way so creativity will be sparked!

Now does that mean pigging out like over eating or a pink piggy running around the park?
No it's a thing they have every year and almost all the restaurants in the city have a stand. You can buy smaller samples of all their food. I have never been cause I don't care for crowded places (a little known fact). I heard from one of the vets at the VA that you could barely walk there was so many people. Not my kind of thing anymore but back in the 60's and 70's and even 80's I loved that kind of thing. Went to a big company picnic there in the 80's when drinking was not frowned upon by the railroad they even had a tent set up right outside the park property with all the free beer you wanted. Me and Ginny were just 2 Wild and Crazy people. I entered the Watermelon eating contest and won and immediately ran 5' to the bushees and earped.

Well Steve you got to let me know some of the brands and where to get them of the good Standalones. I love those. I have about 100 bottles of Bakers Flavors from Russia and they are mostly Standalones at about 2-4%. Really strong and hard to get nowadays. Standalones make mixing so easy. I usually make 100ml of a flavor at a time.

Damn I wish I'd have believed some of the guys about how good these DNA board have gotten. I could've saved a lot of money. But I thought YiHi was the best thing going. No No Nannette t'aint so, who'd a thunk something that works this good could be made in the good old USA.

Well I can see all of you guys that live in "The Great Unknown" east of me have gone to bed. So I will finish watching this series called Narcos about Pablo Escabar. Really good but you have to be a fast reader cause most of it is in Spanish with subtitles. And they talk fast.

Right now I have only been using Liquid Barn for my DIY supplies because they are FDA Approved already and will be here two years from now. I have been contemplating the Italian Flavor company but mixed reviews from others kept me with my tried and true.

I need to find a way to store these. 2-3 30mls deep, and about 3' wide x 8 shelves long. Shelves would have to be tall enough for 4oz bottles. With doors & wall hanging. I want to be able to open the door & scan the shelves for what I need. I hate digging. A perfect thing would be able to hang on the inside of a closet door, wouldn't even need doors on it then.
