I bought a mini provari once. I couldn't make myself like so I sold it.

I’ve never had one. It just didn’t appeal to me.

It is a Tootle Puffers devise, not for everyone. I was tempted by that site, but I really don't need more of them, those classics though. I only got one of them, my favorite is the Radius though, because of the form factor, it does kind of bridge that gap from MTL to DL. I mainly am using a Dicodes Dani Box Mini as a main devise now though, as they are still being made. :|

    Yep. Give it 4 weeks. Have you had it done?
    Yes, on the more bum of my shoulders. The first time, the quack insisted on injecting me in the spot where he was convinced the problem lay, even though I assured him he was wrong, and there was no benefit whatsoever. The second time, he paid attention to me, and I got a modicum of relief for a week or two. Had to have surgery in the end, though. That brought the pain down from a constant 3-4 to a constant 2--bearable, with heating pad, but even a 2 gets wearying when it never stops. The worst part is that it makes using my cane uncomfortable.

    Oh well, it could be worse. And my experience is in no way comparable to yours. You have something entirely different going on, and I sincerely hope that the cortisone does the trick.

    Several years ago I really wanted a Provari and I wanted a mini in purple.Was excited when it came and thought it was pretty when I opened the box.That only lasted til I took it out of the box I thought It was disproportionatey heavy for its size.I did try to like it but I couldn’t get over that.

    I'm surprised by how much I like the ProVari, since I've never liked the idea of a tube mod.
    That’s funny cause I never thought I’d like a box mod but I do. My tube mods don’t get much use anymore

    They haven't converted me to tubes (I like a mod that stands up and stays stood), but I'm happy with them. And they opened the door to tube mechs, of which I've since bought a few, for the ever more probable vapocalypse.

    I did not mean to offend you if so I am sorry, a lot of people did not like them. :|

    I always thought it was the Provari owners that everyone didn't like. The forum fights and "Why would I purchase a Provari" threads were epic back in the day. It was quite entertaining.

    It was about 6 months after I started Vaping that I first started seeing those threads, people being banned, threads locked. That was why I bought my first Provari, shortly after that it was the Kayfun lite. I am a big fan of them, but like a lot of other devises also. You either like it or you don't, no reason to fight about it. I will say that 6 years later, that first Provari still works fine.:|

    I mixed up my first version of strawberry jam to potentially go with the shortbread recipe. It smelled good. I know fruits steep a lot faster than other profiles, does anyone know if I'll get much jamminess out of it within 3 days? Here's what I mixed in my effort towards a strawberry jam:

    Forest Fruit FA .5%
    Jammy Berry FLV .75%
    Strawberry Sweet CAP 2%

    I figured I'd start low and add to it if needed. Any tips are, like always, much appreciated.:)
    I don't have any experience with FLV Jammy Berry. CAP Strawberry Sweet is vapeable in a day or two, but needs a week, week and a half, to settle into a consistent flavor ( it has a bit of that wierd "comes, goes, and comes back again" performance for me). FA Forest Fruit can be a bit on the sharp side for the first week (it's a bully), but settles down after that.

    Ella's takes on fruits really well in my opinion. I think you can add fruit to it at any point. If it doesn't taste great right off the bat; just park it for a week, and then revisit it. :)
    looking for some ideas with bananas....
    I haven't tried it yet; but it is at the top of my "wanna mix" banana list:
    Banana Milk by Aquaneo

    It is the highest rated banana recipe on ATF. And, given the talent of some of their mixers, (to me) that is saying something. :)
    Steep time?

    Added: I looked up when I purchased my Eggnog flavors and it was in November. Could be a seasonal flavor.
    It really needs a couple of weeks to begin to fill out and start to be enjoyable. 3-4 weeks to really show all it has to offer. As always... YMMV. :D

    I'll have to see how much of the Ellas I have when I get home. I will split it if I have enough so I can add 2 different things. With my memory, I should make a list.
    1. Mix 30ml Lite Strawberry Cheesecake
    2. Check how much Ella's I have and mix
    3. Pick out 3-4 finished recipes to mix and get them mixed
    4. Mix more base

    To be continued
