Case C. Nuts on one side and creams on the other. I made some decent room on the nut side but the cream side is pretty crammed and I only freed up one space.
I’m at the same traffic jam... I think I’m going to have to move cheesecakes in with desserts. They’re in with dairies from creams to ice creams etc, and I’m over full. I have another case coming tomorrow. And, I’m already thinking I should have gotten two. Drinks and herby flavors are still in a shoebox.

So ran the idea by the wife and she wasn't too enthused. Apparently I "don't have to add bourbon to EVERYTHING", and "when was the last time I tasted banana in butter pecan ice cream".... So back to the drawing board. Will probably do a 30ml for him with the normal and then a 15 with the bourbon.

    That's pretty much what I was looking at, but I bought this insteadView attachment 817985
    Unfortunately it did not come with the nail polish toe separator thingys :(

    I have two cases that are similar to that one. I ended up using one for tanks and still have flavors in the other one. Right now I have a piece of paper in the top with a list of what's in each section. I like the polish cases much better and have lists in those also. I've still got some organizing to do with all four cases but at least for now I can usually find my flavors in a reasonable amount of time. I want to eventually switch to all polish cases and have a master list of what's in each case and then a list inside each case. The problem I have right now is that I haven't put away my last three orders and have two more coming. I don't think I have space for all of them. Taking out the 30ml bottles and putting in 10ml bottles of those flavors will help make some room. I just need to find time to do it all. It's going to be a little at a time for now.

    I'm not a banana person when it comes to vaping although I eat one every day. I was thinking that the addition of banana to that recipe was odd. Sometimes less is more.

    Speaking of DIYFS, have any of you mixed with their French Cafe Napoleon? I got a 30ml free sample of that with my Holy Vanilla order and have no idea what it might be good mixed with. It is not a coffee flavor, from what I understand. It is more of a French Vanilla Creamer. IDK what to use it with.

    I know I used French Cafe Napoleon and French Vanilla in a recipe or two however I cleaned out some of my recipes. It appears their flavorings need to be mixed at higher percentages as @Skeebo did and this could be the reason I did not care for the recipes I tried — I really do not know or remember.

    FYI — I placed several orders with DIYFS last year. They were always generous with including a healthy sample with each order. Once I had asked about a couple of flavors they did not have. They mixed it for me at no charge. Unfortunately it did not work out. Since then I stick with Holy Holy Vanilla and Holy Grail although they do have a flavor I keep wanting to order but always forget when I place an order.

    I have 2 more of these cases that I could use for flavors, but are used for home improvement stuff. I also have a small tackle box I usually use for rebuilding, but was left behind down south. I really didn't want to buy another one when I'll just get it back eventually. If (when) I do get a nail polish case(s), my ridgid case will get repurposed to home DIY. Although, It sure is convenient that it stacks and locks on this crate which holds my large items, like VG. With such few flavors at the moment, it doesn't bother me to rifle through a few bottles to get the ones I need. It sure beats the cardboard boxes I started out with.

    I do have a tendency to go big or go home. I'm also constantly searching for the best banana vape so I figured I would try it.

    Just checked and mine is the same.
    Mine, too. In fact, my order doesn't show up anywhere on the website, but I did get an email confirming and the tracking status is "shipping label created." In fact, that showed up Monday night, which surprised me since it was a holiday. I imagine they did some work Memorial Day since there were probably a lot of orders.

    I do have 2 empty cases but I like to keep my flavor cases in the dark and I'm going to have limited space for that.Soooo I'd rather not fill another but if I have to so be it. I'll deal with it. Extra cases can be used for tanks and small parts and stuff. I'll make it work out I'm sure.

    I keep mine on the floor (stone) of my hanging clothes closet. It’s not ideal, but it’s always crypt cold in my bathroom. The only plus is there’s room for plenty cases (or is that a minus since it doesn’t discourage buying more flavors :lol:). I do need to reorganize them, I just can’t seem to motivate myself to get ‘er done ;)

    My future problem is I won't have a spacious closet but if there's a will there's a way.

    Well no company today as yet and I've stayed nice and busy today. Good day so far. I'll take this opportunity to explain myself. I believe I've already told ya'll that I only get a tad more than $500 for my SS. I can't pay my property tax with that so mid August I'm moving in with my younger daughter and family. I'm going to rent the house to one of my GD's and that will enable me to keep up with the property taxes,insurance and hopefully a couple bucks spending money. Now this is not a bad thing for me cause I live in the sticks,don't even know my closest neighbors who are all new and I just don't want to spend another winter here myself.I am at a high elevation for this area and it's colder and there's more snow. I have a downstairs bedroom at my daughters which is a big plus for my bad knee but the closet is rather small so I have to be creative. My desk / computer is in her office where there are lots of shelves but they're pretty packed full already. Baby steps. If this doesn't work out for me there are more options.

    That there is and I intend to make use of that. I'd like to keep my flavor cases upright it case of leakage but I certainly can put other things under the bed to make room for my flavors...LOL. I have a 6 drawer rolling plastic cabinet that will fit in the closet and hold most of my ecigs,wire,cotton,carto tanks,coils,dt's and stuff. Daughter bought me a brand new bedroom set. It's only the second one I've had in my life....LOL

    Just checked tracking, and my BCF order is moving and should be here tomorrow. Oddly enough, it still does not show up in the "orders" section of my account along with all my other orders from there.
    Just checked mine again.No movement yet.
