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!!
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.

It would be a dream to have a space set apart just for all the DIYing. I possibly could do it in my dining room that I’ve actually used twice in 25 years for dining. I had been calling it the Dog Room for when I had a plethora of rescue dogs and I was working. Now it’s just a room I put stuff I don’t feel like putting away in it’s appropriate place.

Oh and ALL the boxes and boxes from vape mail and Amazon deliveries lol. Time to break them all down for recycling.

So it’s a project especially with my health but if I paced myself I could set it up.

I have a desk in our family room I can DIY at, now I just need to get the flavorings.... They seem so cheap until you look at your cart after adding all the ones you need....

That would be a perfect scenario. Just make sure any nic or flavored juice are placed where kids or pets can’t get at.

I don't use nic but will definitely be careful with the flavorings. No kids but a great dane that's taller than I am when she get up on her hind legs. Might need to get a locking cabinet.

Can anyone give me the mixing % for a sft of INW Shisha Orange?

Haven't used it, but one reviewer on BCF has this to say:

Orange Zest
Posted by Courtney on 17th Jul 2018

This is nice to use for added depth to your oranges. It is not really an orange juice or fresh oranges but more like the zest from the peel. It is wicked strong so start out really low like .10-.25%.

Another mixed at 2.5%, I presume (risky!!) as a sft, and reports a 2 1/2 week steep.

If you compare their cost...to what smokes would cost, for as long as it will take you to use up all those flavorings...they're a bargain, to me. :thumbs: Even adding in the cost of the PG, VG, and nic base used, too, until those flavorings run out, you'll still likely be way ahead $$ wise.

    Thank you:) I'll take the light side.

    thought i'd share here :D
    not a bad price, it might sound steep but really it's not
    334 flavors for $198.00, sadly no free shipping so about $20 on shipping; with shipping that brings it to about $0.65/10ml bottle....that's a heck of a deal!

    I've seen online people that use tiered nail polish racks, but this may be a better option.
    Racks might be great if you had a dedicated mixing room or even just room enough in your kitchen. I don't, so the portability of the cases is a plus. Besides, with racks the flavors would be exposed to light; my cases are tucked away in a dark cabinet.

    Later: And now I see the post is completely redundant. Apologies.

    I subbed it at 2% for the 4% FA Orange specified in a recipe (Vaperol Spritz), and it took over. Perfectly pleasant vape, but I'll cut the percentage next time.

    Sometimes I have these ideas, like using the rack, and then by experience, and the forum, a better and more practical solution presents itself. The dedicated room would be cool, it's just not a reality at this point.

    Yup, the cost should be prorated over the years of use.

    The trouble with leaving all your flavorings out on an open type of rack is they are in the light most all day. I prefer to tuck mine away in the dark.

    That’s true Fran and that’s a big problem. Right now they are in the cases in a wonderfully smelling hall closet.
