    I thought a Canadian company bought out/was going to carry the line?

    edit... @Terri McVeety beat me to it lol. My understanding is they’ll be adding to the flavors offered in time, as they’re producing it themselves.
    American Co I think but still...........

    I’m trying to get motivated to do something more fun than housework. We have a cocktail reception tonight which requires three of my very least favorite things.... lots of people (who Himself will know, but I don’t mostly), a cocktail dress (the worst clothing option ever... I own exactly one dress, which I bought for my daughters wedding. So, easy/only choice), and pantyhose (super worst). Maybe mixing will distract me. Right now, I’m just working myself into a panic attack thinking about going tonight.
    I sympathize. Good to be a man sometimes. :)

    “DIY ejuice Canada bought the rights aswell.... Quote: DIY Flavours has purchased the rights to Real Flavors. These are the same flavors but will now be sold under the name of Real Flavours Canada.”

    Amen... I spent a week halfheartedly trying to convince Himself (and me) that these sneakers would be “dressy enough” if I wore them with a black business pantsuit. They have a satin bow lol.... that’s dressy in my world! :lol::lol::lol:

    Unfortunately, I know every other female will be in full on formal or cocktail dresses :(.
    I’d give anything to just be able to throw on a suit! Dang, I’d even give into wearing a tie

    Shorts, sandals, t-shirt in the summer. Jeans, flannel shirt, mocs in the winter. Don't like it, don't look at me. :)

    I got FA custard prem.... I’ve pulled a big handful of possible recipes. But.... does anyone have a recipe using it that you think is a real winner? This is one flavor I’d hate to even waste on a bad 10ml tester recipe
    I haven't got that far with it.

    I'm so glad that I mixed in the kitchen today. Working with (measuring) VG is not my idea of fun. I premix all my base and I don't measure anything but the nic. If the pg/vg aren't exact I don't give a hoot. They are close enough. Makes mixing so much easier.

    Practically need an Olympic weightlifter to squeeze out that VG.

    I got a beef stew into the crock pot awhile back and figured I'd take the rest of my day to be lazy. (Til everyone gets home). Instead of lazy I worked on my Strawberry Biscotto recipe. I didn't find anything I wanted to change but I made one addition. I think I have a couple of cheesecakes to mix also. I really need to make a list cause I know I'm forgetting something. .....oh yes, I want to mix my version of Rhubarb Custard.I'd like to have 4-5 for a mixing session. Gotta make moving things out of my way worth while...LOL

    Been a rebel all my life and like it that way. The last dress I wore was at my daughters' 3rd wedding and I promptly threw it out afterward.

    As far as that VG, I use as little as possible

    So I'm in the midst of flavor testing two more chocolates today. I already relegated one of them to the bone box. INW's Chocolate. This one tastes like soap too. What makes these people think soap tastes like chocolate? I'm disappointed. I had high hopes for INW. Still working on Double Chocolate Clear. I don't like making judgement until I've given a flavor several mls at least unless it is total crap. I'm not going to pollute my taste buds for the rest of the day just to be "fair" with something I know has no chance.

    How much do you usually mix of each flavor?

    Yeah, some things deserve dumping.

    Darn it, I got a free ounce of INW Chocolate a while back. Guess I'll have to hope my taste buds are different from yours.
