    I have no idea what a currant actually is? I always imagine it to be some large sort of grape, mentally.

    Boysenberry too it's like the do everything of flavor berries only like, it's also weird? I've never tasted one IRL. I am kind of scared of ruining it.....

    Be adventurous. Black Currant and Boysenberry are both great flavors.

    Yup, I was planning on getting those caps. Thought it was weird they're the same price as the foam-liner ones.

    I ended up order the case without waiting to hear back about the color. These are only for sfts, so I won't be storing anything in them for all that long, and all my bottles are stored in cupboards anyway.

    I also ordered a case of 30ml amber Boston rounds. Couldn't resist the deal, though it's a ridiculous number of bottles. But, who knows? Maybe I'll become an avid mixer and fill them all!

    I lived in Bangor for ten years. Now I'm on the coast about two-and-a-half hours northeast of there.


    What are your favorite black currants? I just tested TFA, Molinberry, VT (a shisha), and Capella. I liked VT the least. Molinberry the best, with Capella a close second. All were fine, but none of them wowed me. I think I may have mixed them at too low a percentage. Plus my testing equipment isn't great: I don't know if it's my inexperience with bridgeless atomizers or what, but it's not satisfying at all to vape on them. Wish I was or knew a builder, but that's not in the cards.

    Tasting is also difficult because it amounts to chain vaping, which I don't do. Made me a little dizzy.

    Omg that’s sooo true! I’ve been chain vaping my 12 sfts since last night. I had the worst headache and was queasy lol! And I DO chain vape!! Must’ve been terrible for you!

    It was in the fifties and overcast. Getting there.
    Boysenberry is another good one.
    Which boysenberry? Flavorah, as @dc99 says in the recipe given above?

    Well, not entirely comfortable, that's for sure. I usually take two two-second puffs and then stop for several minutes. I tried out six sfts today, so three or four puffs of each, with the same number of unflavored puffs between each to clear out the flavor for the next.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for testing mechanisms other than bridgeless atomizers for someone who doesn't build? I was hoping to avoid putting my old G6s into service, but I think that's my next step.

    I have never had a currant of any color but I like Black Currant flavorings.
    I've only had black currant preserves, creme de cassis, and those sugar-coated chewy candies that Pazzo King is supposed to mimic (got to try that someday). All four of the black currants I tested today just had a vaguely berryish flavor. Nothing too specific but eminently combinable with other berries, I'm thinking.

    I test with a entheon or hadalay clone and clapton

    It’s been a lazy day for me. I got a whopping 3 sft mixed and that’s it. Maybe I’ll do better tomorrow.
    Got more done than me, Don't have any flavors or other mixing supplies down here at my daushters.

    I think it was a good idea you went ahead with the 8mL bottles. That clearance stuff has been selling out. First sale day they had 427 items listed. Now, there's 397, and the sale doesn't end until the 24th.

    Even if the 8mL are clear (which I doubt they will be since their Specs & pics indicate Amber), your sft will do fine in them, IMO. Many people only really prefer colored glass for nic base storage anyway.

    You've got a case of 432 of the 1oz. Amber glass bottles coming, too? What kind of caps did you get for them?

    Guess what else I found on there this afternoon. They aren't in Clearance, so they're not 75% off, but...they can be ordered individually and not just by the case. Wish I'd looked for them before I placed my order last Thursday AM, because they fit the 4oz LDPE bottles I ordered from them then (SKU: 022447).

    24-410 Black LDPE Plastic Twist Open/Close Linerless Dispensing Spout Closure - .145" Orifice - $.33 each

    They also fit the 8oz. LDPE below on their website...like on Amazon and OSDIY. They're only sold by the case though. Think I might bookmark them, in case they ever pop up on another of their 75% off Clearance Sales or they're sold individually at Clearance.

    8 oz Natural LDPE Plastic Squeezable Boston Round Bottle - 24-410 Neck Finish - $.63 each

    Pre made coils. Anybody can put a coil in a entheon. Its super easy and you dont really even have to wick it to test
    Hmm. Are there tiny screws to deal with? My hands are very clumsy (I don't have full sensation in them), and my eyes are terrible.

    Yup, not too worried about clear glass for sfts. I'm glad I got them. Getting 400+ 30ml bottles was kind of crazy, but that price! With caps (20-400 phenolic), it works out to thirteen cents apiece.

    If anyone here wants some, let me know. I could fit a bunch in a medium flat-rate box.
