Top of the day to everyone.
Not the least expensive way, but it sure is easy mixing my juice using 36mg/ml nic juice and then adding flavoring in an amount equal to half as much as the amount of nic juice to come up with 24mg/ml juice flavored at 33% of the total. The MBV flavors are not especially strong and since I like fairly heavy flavoring they can be used at percentages that high. The flavors also seem to be of consistent strength with none so far being much stronger or much weaker than any of the others. Price is good too, at $3 per 15ml bottle before the 10% discount du jour.
Just finished mixing 30ml of dark chocolate/blueberry.

Still way behind in my reading. Hi to all newcomers, sympathy for all sorrows and laughter for all joys to the whole group!

I found this interesting. I wasn't aware that September 19 is world vaping day...

I have some recipes that call for a little bit of a tobacco type flavoring , ...you don't taste it at all.
But it does "make" the flavors in the recipe come together.
I don't know how to explain it, but it's like it ... it deepens, or strengthens, mellows it out, gives it body, and all the time it stays in the background
You'll have to give a few recipes a try at least once.
You really don't taste it, but you taste the difference without it.

When you pick the flavor could you make it a vapor zone flavor? I am thinking my next order will be some of the SC flavors and it would be nice to have everything from a single vendor. Thanks!

Had a wonderful time at the winery. I know it was only an hour and 20 minutes away, but it was vacation for me. I usually stay within a 10 mile radius from our home. Took my pillow and extra vape supplies. (you never know, there could be a wreck or something and I have to be prepared). The tour was interesting and the wine was wonderful. I got a free bottle and two free wine glasses. I love Groupon. We each got to pick 6 wines to taste. So me and hubby picked different wines so technically I got to sample 12 wines. Liked them all and loved most.

The only downside to the trip is I got an email from Wizard Lab about the nic and only four hours later when I read the email, I went straight to the website to order and they were already out of stock. Oh well. Ryan Newman placed in top 10 so it's bloomin' onion Monday again. heehee

I don't know how ya'll go on vacations. It got on my reserve nerve being away from ya'll and this forum for just 5 hours. Lets face it.... I need help. I know it and the first step is admitting you have a problem. Thank you all for letting my craziness mingle with your world.

Thanks for checking in. Miss ya. Love hearing about your adventure but you really need to include a update on dad. Hope he had a nice birthday and is improving daily. Aren't you getting homesick? Check back in when you can.

So glad to hear ya enjoyed the winery I'm not a huge wine drinker, but there are a couple I enjoy once in a while. Been a long time since I did a wine tour.

I remember the first trip we went on after I'd started vaping and hanging out on ECF all the time. We were gone for almost 3 weeks and I only had minimal access to internet for a few of those days. I couldn't wait to get back and see what all I'd miss Not such a big deal now after all this time when I'm away, but I still miss my friends here

Slots- I agree about some tobacco flavoring adding to the body of some of my juices. its not like I taste the tobacco, but it does add something and often taste better for some reason.

I just started with the wine phase of my life. I wanted to find one for medicinal purposes. I have read so much on the benefits especially with my BP and cholesterol. With my problems, I am unable to take statin drugs (tried around 5). And I have found several wines that I like but the cherry wine from Dennis helps me. Only the cherry. Whether it is in my head (possibly) or not, I find relief from it. You just go with what works. I was really glad I got to go today. It is a family owned business with 11 acres of muscadine and other berries and judging from the diamonds on all the people that worked there (all family), it is quite a lucrative business. I see why the nascar driver Richard Childress got into the wine making business. His wine is very good also. But the Dennis Cherry is my fav. So this is for my health. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I'm glad you were feeling enough better today to go and enjoy the tour with your husband. If I'd tried a dozen new wines I wouldn't be in any shape to type! I went to the old Abbey in Canon City the last year the church had it and got a bottle, still have it up in the cupboard. We don't drink much wine around here.

I am bumping my nicotine levels back up a bit after reading up on the Alzheimer's reaction to the nicotine. After watching the devastation it causes I'll stay with the nicotine so I certainly understand your wine if it works on your condition. I'd be out doing wine tours all over the place!

Hi bigs, nice to hear from you. Hope things are going well for your Dad and you.

 

[grandmato5]

If the Dennis Cherry Wine is helping you feel better Rat2chat2 by all means keep drinking it ! I do wish I could find something to help with my arthritis .

I'm with you balwin on the reaction of Alzheimer's to nicotine. After doing a lot of reading I'm convinced nicotine is not the horrible substance some try to portray it as. I know for certain that for me its not an addictive substance by itself, at least not in low quantities.

 

[Iffy]

bb,

Hope your Dad is doing well!

As for flavorings, I do hope you try the 'super concentrates'. Besides the lower %s, they're very repeatable in recipes.

As for pre-mix nic bases, that's how I started DIY. Once you find a fav recipe or two or three, it's easy to dive into mixing your own base!

 

[bigbells]

Thanks for checking in. Miss ya. Love hearing about your adventure but you really need to include a update on dad. Hope he had a nice birthday and is improving daily. Aren't you getting homesick? Check back in when you can.

Dad's birthday was cool. Had a dinner downstairs in the dining room here at the retirement village. I offered a short toast that began with: "Four score and seven years ago, my grandmother brought forth upon this continent a new man...."

Unfortunately, some of the invited guests didn't get the reference. One, who was from Europe, asked: "Is that from the Bible?" But Dad's a major league Civil War buff and he thought it was great.

Dad's broken back isn't going to heal fast. It hurts me to see him in pain but he's a tough old bird, I love him, and everything's going to be all right.

... Nice! ...

My system handles nicotine like a pro, but alcohol is a different story.
I'm a cheap drunk
One wine I really like is "White Merlot"
It's a med/light red, that's leans to the sweet side, and I really enjoy a glass once in a while.
Merlot makes me gag, but the "White Merlot" has to be adopted, as it sure isn't from the same family !!

Thanks You ... glad to find someone else who agrees with me that adding a "touch" of tobacco flavor can work wonders.

 

[grandmato5]

I love Moscato Wine Its a white wine that's a combination of cirtrus, peachy, fruity tasting. Makes no difference if its a cheaper variety or more expensive one, if its a Moscato I like it

I made the mistake of getting VERY sick on very cheap wine when I was 18 I'll spare you the embarrassing details, but tell you my husband who was present when it happened STILL laughs about it to this day fourty years later It took me 20 years to even be able to smell wine without getting sick and another ten years before I could say I actually had a wine I enjoyed

Good evening all - been around and reading, just not feeling too talkative lately - must still be tired from all that vacationing.

Had to put in an order for some eRoll supplies for friends and family (although they are all still smoking and vaping ) so of course I had to order something for myself - so I figured since my 2 Twists are now 9 months old - I should probably get something in case they decide they are done. So I bought myself a birthday and a nine month vaping anniversary present - an itaste 3.0 VV/VW and it sure is nice.

Not sure I understand why a Kanger T3 actually tastes better when using the itaste than when using a twist or a spinner - even when they are set to the same volts - or maybe it really is all in my head but it does seem to bring out better flavor.

I just discovered Moscato wine last September and I have to agree it is very good. Although I have tried a number of different brands - but my favorite is Beringer. Not surprising since my all time favorite is Beringer White Zinfandel - which is the only wine I can drink the entire bottle myself and still function the next day.

I have found a few good reds that I enjoy - but not how they leave me feeling the next day same with most whites too. However there must be something different that Beringer does - since I can drink either the White Zin or the Moscoto and I am fine the next day.

I like their flavors too.

Red wines have a lot more histamines than white so it could really be a allergic reaction. Some say to take a antihistamine before drinking it. Thank goodness there is a problem that I don't have already. heehee

We had to get new phones last week. Now I have to learn to use it. If I can figure this tap to talk thing out maybe Slots and I can still visit with everyone while we are at vapefest... so far I'm still pretty confused.

I usually drift over to the reds myself .. knocked out a bottle of cheap White Zin last night while getting caught up on "Breaking Bad" that was stacking up on the DVR .. that and a 6 pack of Hardees Red Burrito Tacos both helped and hurt my cholesterol count at the same time .. .. and contributed to a mild case of heartburn ..
