Random DIY mixing and More

[hittman]

My nic arrived today. I’m kind of mad though. They told me they would be in glass and they aren’t. I only had enough 250ml bottles to break up one liter and I don’t want to put a liter in plastic in the freezer.

Well, that sucks.

Does it smell okay, at least?

Put the plastic litre in the freezer. It will be fine till you get bottles for it.

It does suck though...........

Yes, it smells fine. I’ll do like Fran said and put the liter in the freezer. I emailed them to let them know that I was unhappy and that I specifically emailed to ask them if they shipped in glass. If I had known, I could have had four more bottles shipped for free with my order.

Why is plastic wrong ? I store mine in the back of the freezer in the brown plastic tubs they came in...

 

[hittman]

I don’t have any proof but I would think that people fear that plastic could leech chemicals over time.

For my own NET's I use 10% on most. A few of the cleaner blended tobaccos (no flavorings, just various tobacco leaves blended together) like 84 Turkish and Anniversary Kake I might go 15% to compensate for the mild flavor.
If you are using synthetic tobaccos, I would try single flavors at 3% - 5% first.
If you are interested, PM me (or hitman, I've sent him a list).

So, anyways.... I mixed Vanilla Swirl 4% and Creme de Menthe 4% back on 6/1 and broke it out this morning. Close to what I want, very close. Just need to tweak the volume a little. Maybe 2% more CdM, and 2% either BC, FV or VBG should just about get me there...

My Heartland order arrived. 100 30ml bottles and seven 30ml bottles of flavor. Looks like I might be mixing a few more this weekend.

I am interested I will send you a pm when I get off work in the morning

That is the general thinking...........

Hey, Joey Good to see ya.

They should send you the bottles now for free. It wouldn't make up for the mix-up, but it would be a nice gesture.

I was thinking the same but I doubt it's going to happen.

Hiya Fran hope you are doing well

I took the advice of Joel I think it was. I stopped doing them in alphabetical order and just add new flavors to my cases as I buy them. I made a master list in alphabetical order that I can easily edit on the computer. It lists each flavor in which case, which side, and which slot. For example if I want soho, I look at the list under S and it might say case 3, side A, slot 21. It has really taken the hassle out of adding flavors.

I was determined to do it by the order on ERL so it would be “easier “ for me to check my levels. I only enter anything over 10mls

But it really is getting a bit crazy. I may need to start a new system soon.

 

[AngeNZ]

I'm up to a whole whopping 30 flavors! lol
I finally entered in my stash on ELR, which will be quite helpful. It's a pretty nifty resource. Good thing I started now, I'd hate to have to enter in 100+ flavors in one go.

it s so nice to finally see a mixer with a lower stash than me I'm at 77, and very gradually working my way up

 

[dennism]

I have 87 flavors with 5 on my wish list, seems like a lot to me.

 

[hittman]

I honestly don’t know for sure that I have all my flavors on my elr stash list but it says I’m at 329 and I’ve got orders coming from chefs and bcf.

 

[NolaMel]

I’m right at 250, plus two orders not logged in yet. But I think there must have been one I missed at some point, I occasionally run across something not on the list in my boxes. I figure once the home construction is over, I can redo all the cases and double check against the stash. I just dread doing it. It feels monumental, but it must be done ( Yes, I know I’ve said I was reorganizing before. Repeatedly. Yep, I’m an ace procrastinator!!)
