Does this mean they are discontinued by the manufacturer? Or does it mean that Nic River is just not going to sell them any longer?

I meant to say River Supply...o_O
I found this on diyordie in an article...”NicRiver’s own flavoring line, Purilum Flavors”. Doesn’t sound good for butter mint in the future :(. I didn’t realize it was a house brand

Is butter mint good?
There’s quite a few people who like it. @Sugar_and_Spice ... are you still using it solo at 8%? (For some reason I screenshot that note in 2017, and nothing later :blush: so I’m guessing that’s what I mixed it at). @classwife might chime in too :). It reminds me of the dinner mints they used to have at the maitre d’s station at The Club.

some stomach bug is going around in my area. I am hopeful that it passes me.
We had that too. It's called "noro virus"... about three days of "I runs to the bathroom" (bad joke but there isn't a good way to say it) and nausea. Then it just goes away (thank goodness) Had surgery, recovered from that, had the cold and then got the stomach bug. Been a rough couple of months. Doing fine now. Best wishes for all and hope it passes soon.

River supply’s website is not iPad friendly whatsoever. I remember the same thing last time I ordered. :eek:
I use a computer... love the simple, quick, straightforward website. Didn't know it was not phone/pad friendly. Must be the Java script... I've had issues before with that (because I use Linux)

My last batch was @5%. But that may be cause i always mix at least a 60 ml bottle. So by the time i get half way through it it has gotten a bit on the strong side. Still good stuff and all my friends love it.

I thought you had probably adjusted it down over the years. I’ll amend my note to 5% then. Thank you for heeding my call!

If you guts are still talking about butter mint, yes, less is more. I think I mixed it too strong also (when I was testing it with other flavors, I had made a small batch and found it was easily overpowering the other juices) It was still useful for my "quick and dirty tests" but will dilute what's left of it. I actually don't remember but might have been up to 8%.

What do you all use to test flavors (not recipes, just individual flavors for the first time)? I do "quick and dirty" tests with a single coil in a RDA. If I want to test quick combos of two flavors I just put a few drops of one, a few of the other and vape. When doing lots of tests I don't even bother vaping all that's in the wick (get too much nic too fast) so just waste it and re-wick. Pull the wick, dry burn and re-wick.
After I get an idea of the flavor (and adjust strength) I use a different method. MTL tank... put 1 ml in, vape it awhile, dump it, then vape some unflavored for awhile, dump it and so on. Don't laugh, but I actually save all the dumped juice (can't seem to waste anything) and call it my "mutt mix". Sometimes it's good... sometimes it does go down the drain LOL.

    I usually use a small MTL tank (egoOne) mini to test sft’s.

    I have so many flavors I’m not real inclined to buy more so I don’t do many sft’s anymore.

    Good morning random folks:) Have you any plans today? Grocery shopping this morning is not my favorite endeavor. Not sure what's up for later. I took a look at the discontinued flavors on RiverSupply but couldn't even get tempted.

    Good morning! Filled a cart at River Supply, but didn't check out. I really do have plenty of new flavors to play with. Speaking of which, the WF Butterscotch Cream Pie is very good! I'm liking one-shots. Getting lazy in my old age. :lol:
