Random DIY mixing and More

[PJReid]

I did 10% with Dark Bean Espresso FA @ 1%. Initially the DBE overpowered the mix, but it settled down nicely after a few days. I still think I can drop the Dark Bean to .75% and up the French Cafe to 14% for a better vape.

Thanks! I was thinking that 10% might not be high enough.

Just went to take a look at those caps linked to...and it shows the same chart on there, too. I saved the one I posted, several years ago from a bottle manufacturer's website, and didn't know it was on the Amazon listing, too.

My BCF order arrived today too. 42 new (to me) flavors that have now officially pushed me over 400 concentrates. But, I am happy to report, all have been added to my calculator inventory, ELR stash, and put away (with locators updated).

And... I only had one user-error. I ordered 2 10mL bottles of VTA Sugarloaf Pineapple, when I only intended to get one. I can live with that.

I do have a bone to pick; with all my fellow Random ECFers, though. I placed my order at 3am Sunday... and they were already out of 30mL VTA Sour Lemon! Again!! I have been trying to snag one of those on sale... since last July (incl. at CF)! I could get all the 10mL, 2oz, and 4oz bottles I wanted; but not one lonely little 30mL. So, I consoled myself with a 10mL. Maybe the vape gods are telling me something...

Just curious,Joel What fruits give you a "fresh/real flavor"? I know taste is very subjective but that's OK

To be honest; not many (for my palate). I have lots of "canned/candied/cooked/artificial-syrup-syrupy" or are jumbled up with other flavor notes (e,g, cookies, or creams, or other fruit), but not much in the way of "authentic/real/fresh."

So far, just off the top of my head; the ones that have passed my taste buds personal approval are:
TFA Cantaloupe
TFA Honeydew
TFA orange Mandarin
FA Lime Tahity - Cold Pressed
FA Kiwi

and that's about it. I do have others, that I use and enjoy, but I would not describe them as anything approaching fresh/unadulterated fruit flavor.

Yup,that's rather strange. My order still hasn't updated.

What exactly are you looking at? Are you looking at the BCF site? Or, the USPS tracking site? If the latter; you do know you have to expand the History bar, to see all the interim transfers right?

(Note: this is not from a BCF order; my BCF came via FedEx this time.)

@FranC - Do you know the neck dimension and type of threading on your bottles? I've seen 18-400, 18-410, 18-425, and another 1 from different bottle companies...that fit their 15mL glass boston rounds. All of them don't take the same cap. Also, if they're continuous thread or not also depends on the threading and neck size. Those last caps (linked to above) are continuous thread, but if your bottles don't take that kind...they'll leak and/or let the contents evaporate.

Yes,I know the correct size. Just had trouble finding them. Ty

 

[FranC]

Yes I know all about how to check tracking and there is no change on my BCF order at all.

Fran, I think I’d email bcf at this point. Maybe yours never got shipped. Everyone makes mistakes once in a while.

I was thinking I might do that. I'll give it another day....maybe.

I just finished mixing three recipes. I mixed Sconed, mango blossom macaron, and lime longing. I’ve still got some work to do on organizing cases. I thought I was doing good. I had all four cases out and kept going from one to the next looking for flavors and it seemed like it took forever. I have to make up a master list of what’s in each case so I can more easily locate flavors. Not to mention some of the ones I needed were in the last three orders that I haven’t put away yet. I had forgotten that I had mixed sft of some flavors and put them in the case with the flavors so I can take those out and make room for the new stuff.

In what order are you organizing your cases? By manufacturer? Type? Alphabetical?

I organize mine using the My Flavor Stash oN E L R. After awhile you’ll end knowing where the concentrates are or at least the the area it will be in.

I’m still waiting for my BCF order as well @FranC Tracking said it was out for delivery yesterday but it was a no show. Hopefully today.

I try to keep my cases as simple as possible so as not to tax my brain too much I number each spot in the cases,sort by flavor type and make a list for each case. It's worked well for me. Now I just gotta find room to add more flavors to my cases. I have more than I thought left.I may have to put overflow into another case but I'm hoping not. I guess next week I'm going to have to try to fit as many flavors in my cases as I can.

I'm still at the label created stage. No real tracking at all.

 

[FranC]

BCF says my order is on the way but not scanned by PO.

 

[JCinFLA]

I'm still at the label created stage. No real tracking at all.

Still the exact same thing with mine, too...as of a minute ago when I checked again.

 

[JCinFLA]

I'm on the phone with BCF right now checking on mine. Will see what they can tell me, if anything.

 

[Skeebo]

I was thinking I might do that. I'll give it another day....maybe.

I placed two orders during the sale. One was made late Saturday evening and the other early Monday morning. My Saturday order is still showing pre-shipment and the Monday order is out for delivery right now. Strange stuff.... but I am holding out hope that both orders will be in my mailbox today. If my big Saturday order doesn't come today I'll shoot BCF an email just so they are aware of a potential issue.

Tell'em Skeebo wants free stuff in his order... and an autographed card from the shipping department.

I've got all my juice lined up in the top of an old unused tackle box. I find this allows me to setup all of my juice bottles like a row of dominoes. One wrong move and you have to start over again.... kind of like Tetris without the enjoyment.

 

[FranC]

Another email from BCF letting me know my taking updated. Order is out for delivery. I will pick it up when I get home Sunday morning.

My BCF order went from Shipping Label Created to Arrived at Regional Facility with nothing else in between for two days. Once it arrived at my local PO then tracking resumed. Definitely PO issue.

My BCF order is still showing as accepted by USPS tuesday night, no progress from there. My zamplebox jumped from being in pre-shipment hell to being at my local distribution center around 5am though. Maybe it will make it out to me today.
