Random DIY mixing and More

[Zazie]

Here is @JCinFLA's post about the sale going on at PackagingOptionsDirect right now, @barkfunklerbunk. Some great deals.

Any interest here on a 75% off Clearance sale that includes Boston Round Bottles in various sizes and colors? A variety of cap types are also included in the sale.

Just a few examples:

8 oz Amber Glass Boston Round Bottle - 28-400 Neck Finish - Case of 12 = $2.67 - Various caps fit them, not just the one shown on the bottle page. I ordered the ones below that have the polycone liner - not on Clearance, but only $.18 each. So bottle + cap = $.40

28-400 Black Continuous Thread Phenolic Closure - Cone Liner

15 ml Colbalt Blue Glass Euro Dropper Bottle - 18mm Neck Finish - Sold individually for $.07 each - Again various caps fit them. I ordered these with the foam liner in them for just $.05 each, because I'm not using them for nic base.

18-400 Round Phenolic Black Continuous Thread Closure

For those of you who love doing SFT....you can't beat these at this price anywhere else:

5 ml Amber Glass Round Euro Dropper Bottle - 18mm Neck Finish - Sold individually for $.05 each! The same caps above will fit them, too, for just $.05 each!

They have many more things on their 75% off Clearance pages. There are other glass bottles, plastic bottles, etc. but many of them are sold by the case only. They are dirt cheap, too, though!

2019 Clearance Sale | 50% Off | Packaging Options Direct - Tab may show 50% off, but on the actual page it definitely shows everything at 75% off.

Bronze, I can send you an extract that has the same profile as your favorite.
Have fresh 50ml or so at home. 10% of this with unflavored should do it.

Send it Pop. Do you still have my address or heck I'll just PM it to you again.

I vaped all those samples you sent me a year or two ago and there wasn't any among them with the DF profile that I recall (that would be something that would stand out to me). But that said, I do need a NET that I like and I do like many NETs. Perhaps saying they are OK would be more accurate and certainly more than worthy of blending with non-tobacco flavors. They are multitudes better than this bottled swill I'm wasting my time with. I always knew eventually I would have to make my own NETs so you can help me leap frog much of this folly. That will be very helpful at this time where the kibosh is about to come down. Do you have any of that Havana Daydream around? That was a nice, mild, inoffensive cigar flavor.

Address on its way. Thanks, Pop!

 

[Bronze]

That Chocolate and Honey is the one I have been trying to get Bronze to try...

I think I tried that one, Pop. I don't get honey in DF at all. In fact, the few honey vapes I tried made me gag. I think of DF as tobacco with some chocolate chip cookie.

Hope it works for you, Bronze

 

[Bronze]

@Bronze , you should take him up on the offer. His nets are really good.

I concur.

 

[Bronze]

Hope it works for you, Bronze

Well, if nothing else I have NET extract to work with right away. I don't have to make my own for now. Pops has done all the work and, given the rush situation we're in, that alone is a major help. I know there are flavors he has that I like. He sent me a dozen of them awhile back but they were ready to vape blends. He's sending me raw extract this time so I can shape them the way I want very easily. Big help.

This is good

Well, I have my Strawberry Biscuit recipe worked out and hope to get it mixed tomorrow

I've tried two of the four that papa sent me and really like them but the honey chocolate is my favorite of the two.

I have one of these, too, and love it, but I hardly get to use it, because I keep finding the battery completely dead, when I take it out of my purse. I suspect that the button is too sensitive and it powers on in my purse while getting jolted around, causing it to go dead quickly.

That seems really odd, to me. Since it takes a very rapid succession of 4 clicks to turn it on and off...sounds iffy that jostling around in your purse could do that. Something may push against it once or twice, but...4 times in only a couple seconds?

Maybe your 4 clicks when you think you're turning it off, aren't quick enough...and it's staying on. I had that happen a couple times when I first got mine and was using it at my desk. Thought it was off, but turned out I hadn't clicked quickly enough. Now I wait 2 seconds and give it 1 more click to check that it's really off before laying it down.

@barkfunklerbunk - I'd personally be leery of using 32 oz. glass bottles for freezer nic. If that size happens to get cracked/broken accidently somehow...that's a lot of nic base to lose and it would make a horrible mess in a freezer. Just my though.

 

[FranC]

I tried my sft of WF Bumbleberry. It's pretty tasty and would mix well with any other berry I think.

What would you suggest?

 

[JCinFLA]

What would you suggest?

The liters I've broken down so far...are in 8oz., 5.5oz., and 4oz. amber glass bottles. From what I've read, the 8oz. and 4oz. seem to be the most used ones. I also ordered more of those 2 sizes the other night. The oddball 168mL (5.5oz.) amber glass rectangular shaped bottles and caps came from a different source several years ago. So I used those early on to freezer store some nic base then.

 

[hittman]

I have one liter in a one liter bottle in my freezer. Everything else is in smaller bottles.

@FranC I did mix a sft of yumberry but haven't tried it yet.

 

[Skeebo]

Is there a code for Nicotine River, just for the nicotine?

 

[FranC]

Ok. I need your opinion when you try it.

No codes that I know of.

Did you try it yet?
