Random DIY mixing and More

Interesting. I would've figured it was me and taken zofran. Real coffee doesn't do it?
As touchy as I am getting nauseated I can't say vaping has ever caused it other than nicotine or from getting me to not be smoking. Helping is one reason I go with strong peppermint often.

Yes real coffee does it also. So its not the vaping it is the flavor/real thing.
I have only tried coffee as a teenager. Instant hating/sickness. Good thing tea and I get along cause that is my favorite beverage to drink and vape.

That makes sense then.

Mixed up the TFA Dr. Pop at 2%





It's good - tastes just like Dr. Pepper !

Mixed up 30mls of the Key Lie Pie just as it is.
It's really nice as a shake and vape - I'll keep using it to see how it changes (if it even does) and to see if I need to add anything to it.
Will mix up another bottle to set back for some time.

I didn't look but is the recipe in this thread? (Too lazy to go through all 235 pages.)

I love key lime pie and vape it every day in one of my squonkers. Finishing up a 240ml bottle that I bought a while ago and still looking for a DIY recipe to replace it.

I ended up adding some Graham, it seemed lacking.


I used 2% FA Key Lime Pie and 1% Purlium Cheesecake Graham

I don't mix strong tho.

I like it a lot and keep a tank full in front of me.

Had my first diy eureka moment

I've been trying to make a mint vanilla ice cream - all my testers were either too mentholly or just weren't quite right.

Read up on some flavour reviews - saw one that said tfa vanilla swirl tastes like soft serve, so I used that instead of tfa van bean ice cream. Also overdid the marshmallow and I got the taste I was after

Ordering some tfa creme de menthe for the next batch (thank you @PJReid )

Mint Ice Cream
Tfa Vanilla Swirl 5%
Tfa Whipped Cream 5%
Tfa Marshmallow 4%
10% Menthol 0.25%
Sweetener 1% (optional - I'm used to store ejuice)

Its a sweet creamy mix ideal for beginners (like me) - who like mint but want some ooomph

@PJReid What size testers do you normally mix and how long do you keep them?

I mix 5 to 10 ml depending out whether or not I will want to steep, test, then steep and test several more times. So far, I have kept them all but I will probably toss quite a few as I pack up my gear for my move. I will take with me the ones, like VTA Blood Orange Champagne, that need to steep before a final test. I will only keep the testers as long as necessary to make good notes after a steep.

Ok,pretty much what I thought

 

[PJReid]

@FranC - I noticed in going back over my notes doc that I neglected to state on some the % used in the test. I think that it is important to note that. Guess I have some work to do before I toss the testers.

WOOHOO! Vape mail began arriving today.
VapeMail

I'm impressed. 3 orders placed the evening of July 3rd (BCF, NR, NG). Two delivered today (BCF, NR). (Sorry, NR; you came in third.) Considering the orders were placed Tuesday after hours on a holiday eve, and at the mercy of USPS, both the vendors and the Post Office have exceeded my expectations!

Now that I am looking at the boxes; I am beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed. I now realize my stash is going to need major reorganization!

So, here's my question:
How can I label my concentrate tops, so that the labels can be seen from the top? I have bottles ranging in size of 10, 15, and 30mL. The cap shapes range from small flat caps on the 8 & 10mL vials, to the conical caps that are common on the 10-30mL dripper bottles.

I've got an idea, but I wanted to see if anyone else has already figured it out, and I can stop re-inventing the wheel.

My son-in-law is shipping a car from Virginia to Seattle. My husband suggested that instead of shipping my mixing gear, I put it in the car that is being shipped. I worry about heat, etc. but thought I would ask for opinions here. I know you all have opinions. Shipping this stuff Priority Mail is going to be expensive but worth it not to ruin anything. Thoughts?

Is the car shipping by weight or by just the car ?

I long time ago I saw someone do this.....

They used tiny round sticky dots and numbered them, and a spreadsheet to look up the number for each flavour.

I agree about the heat. Especially for nic and flavors. Those I would mail. Anything else DIY should be fine as long as its well packed.

Good question. I will ask him. My stuff won't weigh much compared to a 3000lb car, so it would probably be okay BUT is it safe for my flavors, etc?
