Random DIY mixing and More

[hittman]

I'm going to transfer a liter of nic into glass and freezer, and do some basic mixing.
I need to make a 500ml bottle of Rainbow Candy for a friend, and I have sfts of FA Vanilla Bourbon and FA Meringue.
Going to have a serious talk with the friend about buying a liter or two of nic for himself and storing it, because if there were a ban on nic I don't want to use my stash making nic liquid for others... I mean I WANT to but that's not wise for me.

I hope he's at least paying you for it. Even if you stored it and mixed it for him, he should pay for a liter or two.

Not my cute, hot pink iStick 30w with the cool metal fishnet tank for the Nautilus, but it is very shiny... As I don't have a matching tank for my black & bronze Pico, I figured I try to find a tank to match it, so it can come out to play (shiny bronze is hard to find). Found an old Subtank Mini-C in the exact same finish, but they call it Rose Gold, for about $10... Then I saw the complete Subox kit in the same color for a little over $20... I bought both! I think that qualifies as a 'screw you'!

I’m glad you got them but I just feel so bad for you and your son.

I agree

I’m sorta kinda packed to go but have most of tomorrow to make sure cause we’re not leaving til about 3.

Yeah he pays me for it. It was kind of an understanding we had when I started making liquid. If he can get it for less than 50$ for 500ml he's happy. I feel bad charging him more than cost, but there is a little effort involved too, so not that bad. I've dropped the price on him twice, still a little more than double my cost. I have told him my cost and again how easy it is to make recently as a last resort when I last dropped the price, trying to convince him to start making it himself. Nope.

Maybe the price should go up?

No I just can't do it hahaha. At first I was charging him 45. Then 35. Now 25. I do it for the cred not the credit.

Well he should buy some nic or give you the money to get it.

I think that answers my question. I understand paying more for quality. However, it’s out of my price range. There’s no way I could explain $300 for a mod to my wife.

If you are talking about the Dicodes, (which I think you are) there is no authorized retailers in the USA. The one site that does sell them here marks them up about $50.00 each. So they are really about $250.00 after shipping on average, still quite a bit of cash for some.

I'm going to try to talk him into that exact thing Thursday. He's not a penny pincher.
I have considered, if there were a nic sale ban, dropping my nic strength from 3 to 1.5 immediately, and my wife's from 12 to 10. She said it made sense. My friend also uses 3mg and I think he has talked about potentially using 0 nic in the past, so that may be an option for him. I'll have to really grill him next time we meet, we work at the same place with opposing schedules so we never really bump into each other anymore.

Does anyone have a recipe that instantly pops to mind when you think of FA Vanilla Bourbon?
I will have to try it with a custard, maybe a cheesecake, perhaps a cookie.... Hmmm the rocks are churnin'. In my head I mean.

 

[uthinkofsomething]

I also picked up FA Meringue. Have not used any meringue yet.
Is that one that might mute fruits?

 

[hittman]

I picked up Pur boysenberry after hearing someone on this thread go on about it. Any suggestions on percentages for a sft?

I only use TFA vanilla Bourbon but my recipes are buried at the moment.

Just be sure to lock them up when you're not around to protect them.

I don't know about muting but the rare times I use Meringue it's just a tad.

I almost got that on their last sale but then I read a review saying its very sweet so I skipped the whole sale. Don't remember now where I saw the review.

That's just sad.

Got my 500ml nic replacement today, and my 1 gallon is also on it's way. I'm done stocking up on nic, but thinking of getting 1 more mod and a few more RTAs. Anyone use a Coppervape Hussar Project X? I'm thinking about nabbing one

It, along with the SJMY Doggystyle RTA is my favourite. The X has a very RDA-like deck, and the chamber acts like a slam cap does on an RDA. It works well with mints and shines with berries and creams.

If Provari was still around, I might have bought a radius instead. But, they’re way more than the dicodes if you can even find one. Plus, no service/repair/warranty since provape is no more. From what I understand, the Provari repair guy is winding down. The dicodes comes with a two year warranty, and since they’re based out of Germany, I feel like there’s a better chance of getting it repaired if something happens. I bought it for the quality and excellent engineering. I have some money left from my retirement “bonus”, so I thought, why not treat myself to something awesome since I worked so hard for years to earn that bonus. Certainly, it’s not the mod for everyone. Buy what you like and at the price point you’re comfortable with. I also bought two more of my favorite istick 40s since mine are getting elderly. But, they’re internal battery means they won’t last forever. For roughly the same size and a 18650, the dicodes will last a lot longer.

If I had a $300 bonus tucked away, the Dani Mini would be first on my list

Well, get old and retire early to save them your salary . Tell you what, send me a permanently miniature Spike, and I’ll buy you a dani!
