Well that's useful. I have an account there and put things on my shopping list, but never looked at the flavor stash. I guess I can add to it when I get my Bull City package in a couple of days.
I love elr and use it for everything DIY related. All my recipes, my flavor stash, my shopping list. I love it. I had a lot of flavors to add when I first decided to use it a few months ago and it took me a while to get it all in there but I'm glad I took the time to do it. You can find recipes there as well.

I don't mind your drunken ramblings at all, and I even have some of my very own, carefully stashed away (One is called "Welcome to my Sandwich") but they're pretty great.

However, I have also learned (alas! Too late! I'm sober now! I wish they had one for PMS though! I bet I could invent one!) there is like, an app you can put on your tablet or smartphone or whatever, and it's called something like, "Are you too drunk to communicate." It makes you do some math and word problems and like logic stuff, and if gives you a fail, it will not allow you to post.

That is merely for YOUR comfort though, I could care less. I like drunken ramblings, hell I like drunks. You know, being one and all.

The PMS App:
Qu 1: How much do you love your partner, family, pet?
a) they are all pretty great I think but sometimes annoying
b) Oh, they are what I have. I guess I love them. No one is perfect.
c) I am considering starving some of them to death, or at least depriving them a bit.
d) They will all be dead by morning, I am going to set the damn house on fie.

C and D fail you, and D might you know, trigger some sort of emergency response.

I just did a rough calculation based on 46 per liter of nic, 20 per gallon of vg or pg, and average flavor cost of 2.50 for a 10ml bottle and using 10% flavor at my 12mg nic content, I'm coming out at about 3.6 cents per ml of diy. Of course the nic is the highest cost so if you're buying 100mg like me but vaping at a lower mg then your cost would be lower. I don't know much about salts but it wouldn't be hard to calculate it if one knew the cost and concentration.
IIRC, I did a rough calculation.. including flavors of my 50mg nic salt juices. I think it was about $1.25-1.50 or so per 30ml. Itll go down obviously when I decrease the nic, but even right now it's huge savings

OMG I overdrew my bank account for the first time since lithium! That's what not getting paid for like 11 weeks will do for you.

Also that DAMN 1-800-CONTACTS people waited until NOW to remove the dough from my account . They're pretty sketchy man HONESTLY. If I had put the 7 K in my account last night though it wouldn't have done me any good, honestly. Because they'd be like "electronic transfer, sorry." I ALMOST pulled a few hundred dollars from my savings account but I didn't now I wish I had.

Oddly, the did not charge me anything for it. Did that become illegal? I would not know. My days of not being able to manage my money (oh apart from credit cards which like, apparently I have developed some skill there....) But the annoying part is 90% of that money is gonna go to stuff like paying bills and what have you. Like, some of the taxes.

Oh, I'm just not gonna think about it but I'm not in the mood. Maybe a little music will get me going but it happens soon.

Does this include the cost of the bottles?

For people looking for cheap computers for basic tasks and office stuff (word, spreadsheets) or even playing 4k movies at 60 fps.. look into the raspberry pi 4. Basically $35-55+ for a desktop PC the size of a credit card. Building your own computer is also a great option and not as daunting as one might think, especially with the plethora of youtube videos out there. The most complicated part of it all is selecting the right parts that are compatible and that's right for your needs and wants.

Yeah, I believe I put that into the equation too
A quick calculation tells me my 50mg nic salt juice, just accounting for the nic is $.75 per 30ml, most of my bottles are glass and reusable, so I really wouldn't add that to the cost. The flavoring would probably add not much or so, plus the VG.. so 1.25-1.50 seems right.. but I do only vape 1-2ml per day, so I'm vaping currently a cost of roughly 5 to 10 cents a day

I'm as interested in a credit card sized pc, as I am a smart car. Not interested in building my own pc, or building my own car.

There are tons and tons and tons and tons of resources online, Youtube for example, on setting up a raspberry pi 4 as a desktop computer. I have a raspberry pi 3 and I love it, and I'll probably get another one or more. It's currently collecting dust since I built my own PC, but it will see action again when I get around to it. it has so many applications and uses.
