So what do you folks think about flavor bans and all the other crap coming down?
I think my stocking up supply, just got smaller. I need to order more nic, more pg and vg, and more flavors. My atty's and mods are secure, but I'm planning on more purchases VERY soon. I feel the noose noise tightening.

    Of those purchases your nic should be secured first. There should be no problem with flavors ,pg or vg but I’m still making sure I have plenty. I know I have plenty of hardware.

    Somewhere between here and there
    Anyone looking for specific items on the Black Friday sales? I can’t really think of anything I want right now besides a geekvape boost and I don’t think any US vendors have them yet.

    I think they suck. But I just got done freaking making 3 flavors and like putting 6 liters of Heartland nic into glass storage. I still have 8 500 ml bottles to fill, but you can only do so much. Yoga calls.

    I found an extra 100 mg liter of NicRiver nic salts in the Freezer though. Bottles take up a lot of room.

    My gift to the husband this year.... May be his OWN chest freezer. Between the dang nic and the snus. LOLOL.

    Sort of praying my cheaper Armor nic is ln LEPD bottles or whatever and maybe I could use it first. IDK.

    What is a boost?

    No, there’s actually nothing I need and not even anything I want atm. I only have one flavor on my wishlist at BCF and I haven’t decided If I even want it

    Since you got all this nic recently it doesn’t matter much which you use first

    It’s a new aegis pod device that you can also use an rda with.

    I tend to stick with the 'old' flavors I started with years ago. Glad that TFA double chocolate clear is working for you, many like it. I wish that it worked for me, only thing it worked with ime is creme de menthe and peppermint. I think chocolate may be a flavor like coffee for me, some are better than others, but none seem to get it just right. I've been told that adding a smidge of vanilla flavoring rounds out the chocolate, maybe try that?

    I was thinking a bit of cream but vanilla might work.
    I agree with both of you. The chocolate is dull. This is why I crave the milk chocolate because it is the least dull of all of them. It’s as if the chocolate needs to brighten up or come to life. Something like vanilla or creme could do that. I’m sampling two malts today. Plain malt and malted milk. They’re not too bad. Wouldn’t want to vape them alone but they could influence other flavors. In this case, the malted milk could also put some life into the chocolate. Maybe even a little brown sugar. There is a minor flavor component I’m looking for that breaths life into the chocolate. I have several ideas and can add yours to the list. Whatever it is, it’s a minor component but a very important one.

    I mentioned before my current vape is strong on chocolate but there is this faint lip smacking sting in it. Faint, mind you. But it does play a vital role. Vanilla (in extract form used in bakery) has a bit of sting to it. Sorry I can’t come up with a better word than sting but that’s all I can come up with. Bitter might be a better word. Slightly bitter. IDK.

    Up till now I have focused all my efforts on finding the right NET and right chocolate components. I’ve made some nice strides. But I know I need that third component that sets it apart. I should be able to start my search for that third component soon.

    Vanilla, and cream (@FranC), are essential to rounding out chocolates. Chocolate flavors seem to lack those notes. Maybe a vanilla cream flavor, best of both worlds? Or a buttercream, with vanilla? Fran could give better advice on this than I. Good luck on navigating your personal flavor rabbit hole.

    White chocolate always seems to help regular chocolate somehow. Of course, I have felt that way since a young age.

    OMG Cadbury's (in England) makes this incredible chocolate (it's nothing like the brand here) where they have milk chocolate with white squares on top.

    I smuggled (will brought with me maybe) about 30 bars back, but like, I still ran out eventually. Sad day.

    Although my favorite chocolate of all time are Cherry Ripes. I don't know how Aus found a way to make sort of candied cherry and maybe some coconut? I think with dark chocolate SO GOOD. They are all kind of things I am not necessarily fond of especially alone but together?

    That's it. I need an AUS DIY to like find me a Cherry Ripe vape recipe.

    Speaking of my laziness I hope ID Joel is okay!!! I miss his insights. There was a dude who could DIY with the best of them. He also kept apologizing for his ignorance when he was a savant or possibly a god!

    Believe it or not, but I’m thinking something more like a vanilla bean. Something not quite so creamy.

    The White Chocolate I sampled was really not different than the regular chocolate. Granted, I tried only one version, however.

    It’s funny that I know I have more than I’II ever need but I’m still worried
    I know what you mean. By the nic calculator, I can vape a couple extra ml a day, and make it to 137 before I have to quit. Given I smoked for a little over 30 years, I’m pretty sure someone in my family is going to have to sell a bunch of nicotine at a much sooner point in time. But, I still think, maybe I should order some more, just in case.

    137? That’s still a 20 year supply, no?

    Don’t make me come slap you up side the head, boy o_O!!! I slightly mis-mathed before I found the nic calculator (this is why you don’t want me balancing your checkbook). It gives me 81 years worth. (There, I’ll let you reverse math that out lol).
