    I’ve got a bunch mixed but a lot of it’s really old. I’m thinking of dumping most of it. If I ever get done here at the garage, I have a bunch of bottles and tanks to clean. I might stop on the way home and pick up some bagels or something.
    I vaped away/or tossed all my old stuff already so my current supply of mixes aren’t that old. Most have already been sampled so I know they’re good. I’d like to rotate/mix a smaller supply but that never seems to work.

    Last month I mixed acai/am4a/vanilla custard all at 2%, had to dump it. I have since mixed acai/sweet cream at 3% each, this turned out to be a very decent vape. Next I'm going to try acai 2%/ with either sweet, fresh, or bavarian cream at 4% and see what happens.

    I’d be interested in which cream you think goes best with the Açaí. I’m a big fan of Fresh Cream but also have several others.

    After trying a few recipes with 10+ flavors and not liking them, I don’t even mix any with that many. Maybe I don’t have a good set of tastebuds but they just end up muddled to me.

    Me too. Not muddled but just not worth it.

    maybe i'll evetually adapt and need less: i did start out more reasonably, 5% or so with 4 or less aromata and it didn't do the trick. asked around and a few people recommended mixing with 10-15% flavour, esp. as i wean off strong oneshots.
    the reasoning behind the variety is rather not to overkill one with an unrecommended amount, plus rounding and layering the flavour.

    since it's been a while since i first talked round here abt it, i should prbbly mentionthat the cactus-thing started out as an attempt to clone my ADV singleshot:

    BUY FLAVOUR WHITE KING 10ML | DAMPFLION CHECKMATE - Electronic Cigarettes

    which is cheap and available, but contains some stuff i want to avoid including rumors abt unlisted sucralose in it [i know it isn't that scary which is why i still buy it, but hey.., ]..

    there was a consensus in a german forum (it's a german singleshot) that it needs strong souring and cooling agents (i ll end up upping my ice and sour, but i'm gradually testing 30ml batches to study the different results), so even if i don't layer the cactus with dragonfruit and the mandarine with the orange and the other mandarine it'll still contain 5-6 things in the recipe: 3aromata and 2-3 additives

    Can't be, the person with the 8 pages/160 reports is no longer here.
    I closed his account - you are not welcome here when you cause disruptions.

    my eye just fell on you are not welcome here and the effect just stuck

    Whatever works for you is a winner. If you are coming off something really strong it’s a good idea to do it slowly.

    I really need to get some more glass 15ml bottles and stop mixing so many 30-60ml bottles. I often get burned out before I finish them.

    I wonder if it would be good with pudding base. I might try it.

    I have limited experience with cactus. I used some in a cranberry recipe. I did find that too much and it can ruin a mix.

    I highly recommend doing that. All my Cheesecakes are all 30’s but most everything else is 15. Of course I’m overboard on the 15’s now....LOL. Going to vape them down a bit before writing any new recipes.

    It's like knowing there's another universe full of bubbling crazy out there but it can't be detected from my reality.
    Priceless. ty :thumbs:

    Took out a dead overhead microwave a while back and trash collection wouldn't take it away. So yesterday I got the screwdriver and reciprocating saw out and reduced it to small pieces that went in the trash bin. Take that suckers.
    Priceless x2. I did something similar with a beat-up small table.

    My swimming pool is up and running. I'm in there every day as long as it isn't raining. No swimming, just float around with a couple of floaties listening to music. And my trusty waterproof Solo to vape on.
    Have my Solo's + tunes and I am on the way!!! Would love to discuss the oasis of happy. :lol: :lol:

    I found that after 4, maybe 5 years of vaping I had to drop my flavor % down quite a lot. Thank goodness I didn’t have half as much mixed as I do now.At the same time I could no longer vape what vendor juice I still had because of too much flavor. I did try to add some base to them but that was just yuck. Ended up giving the rest away.
    When I started vaping I thought all retail juice was yuck. Too much for me. Was about to quit when my buddy and his wife got me going with making my own. Massive light bulb moment. :)

    I was good with vendor juice for awhile. So great full I was already into DIY when I could no longer vape it. Had to drop the % on all my DIY at the same time.

    Glad you had friends to get you into mixing :thumbs:

    Rats! These 15mL below were just $.07 each until midnight last night, as part of their 75% off Clearance Sale. But, even at $.14 they're not a bad deal. The only 2 caps they carry that fit them are shown on the page, too. The first ones have a euro insert that you likely don't want/need because it will dispense like a drop or 2 at a time. I've bought the 2nd ones in the past and they work fine. Depending on how many bottles & caps you buy...the S/H likely won't be really cheap though.

    I would! However, I'd feel like an accident waiting to happen...with that tank attached to my back while doing it. So, nope...that would nix the idea for me.
