    I recently got a few of her flavorings and noticed that some are very perfumey. What is your experience with these flavorings?

    On another note, I have about 54 new flavorings coming today. No idea where I will put them.

    Another question for all you mixers, what do you do with all the sft's you make? I am ending up with a bunch of mixes, some I use in other mixes but can't keep them all. Do you dump the ones you don't like much or???
    I haven't bought that much from DIYFS but never noticed any perfumey. On the other hand I never found anything special either so I just stick with my regular venders for the most part.

    I only mix 5ml sft's also.I give most sft's 2 tries so there isn't enough left to save.

    Which ones did you think were like that? I’ve only gotten holy vanilla, ry4, and po po so far. I almost forgot that I have succulent strawberry and lucky shot but don’t remember them being perfumey.

    The worst was the Caramel Nut Cheesecake and lesser ones were ones with cream: strawberry, peach.

    I will say even though I am not a fan of raspberry, the blue razz one is excellent. I haven't tried the melon yet and the pineapple is pretty good.

    Mixed up a few recipes the other day — one refill and the others will be new to me. Two are pistachio flavors. I have a third pistachio that I am getting ready to mix. I am giving one last ditch attempt at a pistachio rice pudding. This is my third attempt and if it does not work out, then that is it — maybe. It is the darn fading of the rice so hope this recent version does not fade as fast.

    One that I mixed last week and was ready to vape smells rotten. FA came out with five or six Pazzo flavors a year or so ago. I have a recipe that uses the Pazzo RE (King) which is a black currant flavor. When I went to mix I found the concentrate was kind of green in color. The completed juice smells rotten — I am not even going to try vaping this. Mix and concentrate down the drain.

    Of the FAUK one shot blends I have tried so far, the best one so far is Brekkers which is an espresso. The other one I tried is CF Envy mixed at 3% which was too low so could hardly taste it. I am going to try Custard Pi and Vanilla Custard next @ 4% although I did use Custard Pi in one of the mixes I did — kind of like putting the cart before the horse.

    Mixed Fran’s Irish Whiskey smells yum. VT Scotch Whiskey smells realistic to me so will see how in vapes in a few weeks.

    I will mix a simple experiment with VT Orange Marmalade and FA Mandarin/Tanger. I did up both by 1.5 over the G&T I mixed. Other than that it includes VT Fizzy Sherbet and FA Cream Fresh although I am not so sure about mixing a cream with fizzy.

    Those 2 are from OSDIY. Maybe they don't use some of the ingredients that cause a perfumey taste to some people in some of the DIYFlavorShack one shots. I haven't gotten that taste from any of the 17 OSDIY one shots I've tried so far.

    Thanks, I totally missed that in his post. Yes, I have no perfume taste from the OSDIY one shots, it is DIYflavorshack that gave me perfume notes which is what I was referencing in Hittman's post earlier.

    Too high. That should be 3.14 % :)

    Joke or no joke, I used Custard Pi in a tobacco custard mix at 2%. The calculators I did for both Custard Pi and Vanilla Custard I initially did at 3% however I was not sure if I would be able to taste it based on the few FAUK one shot blends I tried so far. I plan to mix tomorrow so I can always go back to 3% or better yet I will do a compromise at 3.5%.

    The compromise could be less work.

    Huh? Your credit card company issues the temporary number, what's Apple got to do with it? And it seems to also be a part of the "apple card" system as well...

    Apple Card will let you generate virtual card numbers for online purchases

    Here’s the scoop on the virtual credit card number. My credit card is with Citi Bank so at the time it was on their home page where I read about it as well as called to speak to a representative. It was designed to be used with Windows and not IOS. If this has changed, I do not know. On the other hand I did not know this is available through Apple pay — poor excuse on my part so thanks for making me aware of this and the link.

    I finally tried my Orion Quests and I do like them. For those using the Orion Q I was able to buy the 1.0 ohm replacement pods from Eight Vape for under $6 for two pods plus I did get $5 off with that darn Honey using code BGG8FB. Whether they have the DNA version for the same price I do not know. EV is a vendor that I try to avoid although I have never had an issue with them. I did receive an Out for Delivery notice this morning so should be here in a couple of hours.

    Still seems odd... if your browser will get you to their site, regardless of the OS, it should be able to get you a number... maybe another Apple monopoly... must use THEIR card?

    I’m glad you like them. I have two Orion Q and one dna. I like the Q better than the dna. The dna is too fiddly and hard to get set where it doesn’t burn the pods. One complaint I have on the pods is the drip tips keep falling off and I almost lost one at work. I bought a fair amount of pods for both and am going to finish off the ones I have in use and then they are all going into storage. I recently got a geekvape frenzy and like it really well. It’s a tighter airflow. However, like any device it has it’s cons. The pod is hard to see the liquid level when filling and I wish it had a little more airflow.

    With the stock tips on the Q, I had to use pliers to pull them off as mine were tight. With the replacement tips, the fit is perfect — snug but easy to get it on and keep them on. If I drop it though not sure if the tip would fall off. I like the nice airy air flow.

    I think it’s a little odd how on some mixes that the flavor changes so much after time in a tank even though it’s already been steeped. Anyone else notice this? The coffee recipe I posted the other day is one. The caramel butter was much more forward a couple days ago but has now blended nicely.

    I notice the same. Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised by the taste after a tank has sat overnight.

    Just thought I'd drop this info here, since the OSDIY thread is no longer open for replies. Others may not know about it either.

    Just found in their supplier forum post on June 3rd:

    OSDIY has free S/H on orders of $35 or more during the month of June.

    In their supplier forum post on June 20th:

    They now carry Molinberry and Flavorah flavorings.

    Fine. FINE. Y'all know about my clonidine and also like overdoing the laxatives and stuff. This morning I woke up with what I assumed was severe Hemorrhoid pain. I don't mind that part. I've been pregnant. if you don't get them after birth, you aren't doing it right. But I was like, "MAN I wish I had a real live laxative bulimic to TALK to about this, I mean how do they get through the DAY?"

    So, I went to work. It was not my best work day ever. I was distracted. It hurt to sit. At 1:30 I went and bought 35 bucks worth of H stuff, to deal. I just went into the bathroom and did my best. Yes, I work at a healthcare center but I was NOT gonna ask the secretary for her hand mirror to investigate my H situation.

    I just applied things as best I could. When it came time to leave I got home and like, well, the husband is not here this weekend so I grabbed a hand mirror and I was like um WAIT. That looks metallic. It really does.. Being a hardy sort, I was like, "I am not going to call 9-11 prior to investigation. I'm relieved I DID not NOW. Imagine the press for vaping!

    So, I was like, "That thing has to come OUT. So, I removed it.

    I have these ceramic dishes I keep stuff in so it's organized. I have one for vape stuff, one for my meds, etc.

    It was a COIL. Not a small one either. One of my favorite ones. It had heft it was a Fumytech Rose coil. No tiny MTL coil for me.

    So I accidentally SWALLOWED a coil and then.... It was removed after digestion. I did not KEEP the coil but I might have been able to vape it but I was too busy screaming "Satan get thee away from me!!!" and tossed it.

    The H pain was immediately relieved. To be fair, I have been under stress, but this is JUST UNACCEPTABLE. I'm sorry. To vaping everywhere I apologize.

    So yeah I also have 35 dollars in H treatment I don't need and that could have bought a nice custom driptip!!!!!!!!!!

    I am going to bet I am the first vaper who has done that and it made my day SUUUUCK but at least I have no perforated bowl or anything. There is always a bright side.

    It's okay if you make fun of me, I would. I mean ^I^ wouldn't but I have empathy for me since I lived it and if anyone ever eats a coil and thinks it's a "H" I will have deep empathy and sympathy for that person. I don't think it will HAPPEN but if it ever does... I AM READY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Anna
    GOD
    This must end. LOL

    I don't think I would have admitted to that. to anyone. ever....
