I've only ever used diyflavorshack's cinnamon so far but it's worked fine for me, I don't think any of dawn's flavors haven't been pretty much spot on (just wish they weren't as expensive...but worth it I guess, lol ok not expensive they're like $5 or $6 but still, when I'm getting flavors for under $1.70 lol I can't bring myself to buy hers at the moment, but again as I said from the 15 flavors I had of hers they were all good and worth buying)

I’ve never tried those flavors. It’s funny how I’ll spend a couple of hundred dollars on a mod buy squawk at $5 flavor concentrates lol!!

Thanks for the info. Appreciate it.

Yeah, I read up on the saga. It's too bad a fix can't be found. Oh, well. Less temptation. Maybe I should be grateful.

I suppose it’s a good way to look at it. There’s another forum that has a very active classifieds thread on it though haha!!!

    NH has joined the crowd and is pushing for a 65% tax on wholesale vaping supplies. Had me scrambling to check my nic supply which I'm happy to say is pretty secure. Another litre would make me feel better,LOL. I have enough flavors to last just short of forever. I still use my rba's from time to time but finding myself preferring drop in coils more and more as the old eyesight gets worse. There is the option of the magnifying glasses still. All in all there not too much I feel I need to stock up on.

    Somewhere between here and there
    Where will your reviews be posted?

    It'll be in the APV section of the reviews. After I use it for a while, I'll write the review and post a link on this thread. I've actually had an aegis solo mod on pre-order for over a month but it hasn't shipped yet. I'm pretty much done with pre-orders. It seems like they end up taking longer to get than if I would have just waited and ordered from a US vendor. I'm not real happy with Sourcemore right now.

    CA went through this approximately three years ago. Initially it was a mess because vendors were confused too about the tax changes. If someone asked me how much is the tax, I really cannot answer that anymore. I think it comes down to ~10% to me the end consumer even though the wholesale number is substantially higher. A few vendors moved to NV around this time and I cannot help but think it was to avoid this whole mess. On top of this CA in general is not a business friendly state as it relates to business taxes. To this day I still buy from a few CA vendors.

    The other important item especially in CA is if the vendor is out of state. They are suppose to register with the CA tax board. The bigger named vendors do and others do not. In the beginning though a few of the vendors that did not register in CA was charging the tax and even one vendor that I cannot remember in the UK. I questioned the UK vendor when he charged me CA tax and asked if he was registered in CA and if they are reporting and remitting the tax dollars to the CA tax board. This particular vendor deleted the tax entirely. I really do not think they were being dishonest and instead was confused like many were initially.

    I believe we are the only State that has no sales tax or income tax so they're always looking to tax something. We do have a rooms and meals tax and a few years ago they tried to apply that tax to campsites.Needless to say they failed.

    I'd gladly trade our sales, income, and personal property tax for a single vape tax.
    I bet. We have a 9% rooms and meals tax. That includes all prepared foods you might buy in a store.Grinders,salads etc etc. Not just resturants.

    I've seen online people that use tiered nail polish racks, but this may be a better option.

    Those look great for people that can keep their DIY supplies out on a work table or something. I’d use those if I had a dedicated area to use for mixing. Unfortunately, I’ve got to pack everything up and put away in my vape closet at the end of each session.

    I seem to be incredibly lazy today and can't move myself to mix the 4 more sft's. I did however get a handful of flavors tucked into the cases they belong in.

    Well you’ve done more than me. I’ve just been vaping lol! Enjoying the fruits of my “labor”.

    tbh I’m still recovering from my last flare and just don’t have enough energy to mix after taking care of one or two household chores.

    I’d really like to get to this sfts I made last week. Maybe tonight I can do a few.

    I missed the Nude Nicotine sale and had wanted to get one or two more liters. But there’s no way in hell I’ll pay for their nic at the regular prices. I’m using heartlands I bough on sale and it tastes the same as premium nic I’ve tried. I’m glad I don’t seem to have a discerning palate for nicotine. The $44 liter tastes the same as the & $70 to me!!

    Yes,me too. I think my first nic came from RTS years ago.Since then I've bought from MFS and ECX. All good to me. I'll probably catch ECX's next sale. I probably have enough but another liter will make me feel better.

    That's how it is for me, right now it's varied cardboard boxes to hold my stuff and put away in a closet. I don't have 75 flavors.... yet. :D
    Eventually I want to have a dedicated space in my basement, but that is far, far away and on the bottom on my infinite list of house projects/renovation.
