Oh, OK. Yes, @Bronze calls me 'Pops'. Has for some time now.
January is fast approaching. One really good cold snap and I will be ordering from pipesandcigars.com again. That would be my favorite part of DIY - Naturally Extract tobacco (NET) flavors !
This past winter's crop of NET's are dwindling. Black Cherry is gone, 84 Turkish, Virginia Spice, and Honey & Chocolate are nearly gone. That's a good thing, as I would rather give someone else a chance to try them before just tossing them into the woods out back. I will be reordering those anyways.
I still have over 200ml of mixed e-liquids available, so it's not like I will run out anytime soon....

I liked all four of yours that I tried. My favorite ones were the black cherry and honey and chocolate. Why do you throw out what’s left? Should I worry about what I have left going bad?
That is so funny cause I did the same. I got all old favorites for stock. Nothing new. I wasn't interested until they added 40% off FLV.
Not really sure what "Solo Perique" is, but if it's St. James Parish Perique, or Arcadian Perique, vaping that as a single flavor might be a little strong. Most Commercial Blenders mix Virginia tobaccos with their Perique.
I have some Sutliff Stoved Black Virginia on hand if you wind up needing something to mix with.
Not unless you are storing them in direct sunlight. Never, ever store them in direct sunlight.
Otherwise, they are good for a year or so before the flavor slowly begins to fade away. After a year and a half, or eighteen months, I begin mixing them around 15% just to get the flavor where I want them.
Or you could refrigerate them, which I've heard helps them last longer.
It is Perique from Stixx Mix so I'm not really expecting it to be strong. I haven't even got it yet. I do have some of your Stoved Virginia if needed.
I built a cart at gremlin last night but didn’t order. I really need nothing. It was fun to go through and pick a bunch of stuff. I’ve been trying hard to not spend on vaping stuff until after Christmas. I did good at first but it didn’t last long.
I just have so many flavors I truly don’t know what I have so I’m hesitant to buy more. I haven’t had a chance to catalog them. And I’m shopped out. I’ll just have to pass on the gremlin sale. After the holidays, and after paying my house insurance, maybe I can find time to figure out what else I need.
I actually know what I have. Even though I haven't put them all away They are still on a list. I was just after stock anyway, backups for my fav flavors
Saturday morning musings...with a 200 ml batch at 2 mg and 10% flavoring, I need a mere 8 ml of 50 mg/ml nicotine. I wonder how well that small amount of nicotine mixes into the vg based batch? I shake a lot but still. I wonder if at times I’m vaping zero nic? And at other times stronger? And with my working bottles of nic I cut 100 mg/ml down with vg to make 50 mg/ml so that’s another opportunity for the nic content to vary. I mean I’m vaping fine. Just a thought of mine. Has anyone warmed their batches on the stove in a pot of water to molecularly make everything meld together? Or would that even work or does all this rambling even make sense?
I did end up placing a small order. I want to try the tea you got and picked up another stixx I didn’t have. I switch around recipes so often that there aren’t many flavors that I use consistently.
R and J, I really wouldn't worry about it. All those components will mix just fine. I'm making 5 ml batches that call for 0.75mls of nic. It all shakes out.
Well, this Vanilla Swirl gets to work quickly. I'm just using it to brighten up some Double chocolate Clear. I have it at 7% DCC plus 1% Vanilla Swirl. That would be the most Vanilla Swirl I would need. Thinking even 0.5% would be enough.
My flavors are pg based I think but I’m a max vg vaper so my batches are thick at 90% vg. I’m going to try warming my batches to make them shake easier just to see. Since I’m a non-steeper, maybe that’ll slide some steeping in there as well. Doesn’t hurt to try I suppose.
I don't think it's necessary. PG and VG mix just fine. If anything, the heat will have a negative effect on the nic.
I haven’t given it much thought but have heard people talk about shaking bottles before filling a tank. I usually never mix more than 30ml of a single recipe. If I’m getting highs and lows in my mixes then I don’t know it.
Higher pcts of vg may take a little longer to steep, but if you want to mix it, take a coffee stir-er and mix it up in your 50 ml bottle. A 50 ml bottle should not take long and like @Bronze said the heat will have a negative effect on the nic. I usually mix my base of nic and vg pg at high ml's so I have to stir in order for it to blend evenly. It takes a bit of stir-ing so I stir until it is clear as water. Then I mix my flavors. But I am talking huge amount of pg/vg like up to 1 litre at a time.
