So since I started doing the DIY thing, I had been just using some pre-mixed base that I bought from Liquid Barn. Now that I am buying actual 100mg nic, I just thought of a question. What do you guys use to store the nic that you are actively using?

I of course plan on sticking the majority in the freezer in glass bottles. But I assume that many DIYers set aside aside some at room temp in order to work. What do you guys use to store the nic that you are using for mixing?
I premix a few hundred mls of 10mg/ml base and store it in plastic squeeze bottles that live in the fridge.

Quick question (again) for you long term nicotine storage people. Does anyone store theirs in the plastic bottles it came in? I am storing 100mg/pg and while my working bottle probably is not too bad off, I am wondering about the stuff that will be in there for a while. Some of it possibly 10 years or more even. I do have some 250ml amber glass bottles.
Put it in glass, you lazybones.

I use plastic. Glass is always better but then I'd be stuck using a syringe or a dropper or something. I use plastic twist top bottles.
I too want to avoid using droppers or syringe. Mixing by weight has been pretty much hassle free and I would prefer to keep it that way. I'll be on the lookout for some decent plastic bottles when I make my next nic order. I'm sure Heartland has some available.

Careful, don't call him "Mexican" lazybones. LOL.

OMG I am more tired than I WAS it seems like by doing nothing and not even worrying even.

Like JESUS though!!! (Oh speaking of that @Zazie , this is my favorite piece of grafitti. It was IN a church in Tucson and they kept painting it over, they kept repeating it. I know you are NOT supposed to endorse like, grafit
OIP.gu1Y2Sps2wtj3hOOjlkpfgHaD7
tti and I mostly don't but this was SO clever, we will always have pictures LOL.) I mean, it's CLEVER. Is what it is.

In any case, we talked to our real estate agent and yeah she was a little speedy and then this morning the husband contacted her and she was all groggy and said "I had to take a valium last night and I am groggy. I was dealing with another contract."

Well the husband came to me and asked me if I thought she was having "trouble with ......." and I was just like "WHA????"

She's always seemed fine to ME frankly and the proper response to valium that you don't take EVERY night IS grogginess. I said, "Honey if you want to talk to her husband about rehab options could you PLEASE wait until after closing? Maybe we could give her the deposit in "rehab deposit gift card form" to thank her for all her hard work? No she seems pretty competent to me and what is more I don't think much other than SHE had better freaking just sell our house and you should keep your nose out of it.. She is probably busy, and as a salesperson like, maintains a veneer of cheerfulness but I bet she is pretty busy."

Jeez sometimes he must be the most annoying man on earth. So yeah I am trying not to worry and I better like, complete my direct deposit form although frankly whatever we do we are gonna have to take out a loan. Sigh. This so sucks.

Yeah. I mean, I know you CAN buy houses like cars man, but like, it sounds stressful but I think I wish things went faster.

The husband is intrigued by like the "Alive" show which is offering you like one million bucks if you make it through the tundra of the Arctic.

I told him he could give it a shot, next season man, if I am safely settled in my new home. That would be okay.

IDK sounds like a bad way to die to me. "Alone" is like really bad out of all the freaking shows about survival. It really is. I have seen a few seasons. The dude who developed anorexia and like hoarded all this dried fish but couldn't eat it and like, had to be hauled out of there by the producers.... That guy deserved SOMETHING if you ask me he was only like 8 days behind the winner.

Oh well. Yeah, this is my day wondering if my real estate agent has like THE ....... demon and how Alive sucks.

Nothing new. Man I have not heard back about the RV she is probably harvesting like email addresses or something. I mean it was CHEAP.

Any current coupon codes for element vape? I'm looking at an aspire mixx for $64. I can get it a bit cheaper elsewhere, but I'd rather order through them for a few bucks more than wait for the slow boat from China. IIRC, element vape is a decent vendor.

@stols001 I saw your laughter :)

Yeah, but there were thumbs up in the middle. I would love to rent an apartment only I'm not sure I won't be out on the street corner oh hawking.... something..... Before this is all over. I mean, it is BAD.

Maybe I talk to husbundo about like a year's lease but who KNOWS what the housing market is gonna be doing here in a year, rite? And if I leave early, well WV is SHOCKINGLY draconian about breaking leases. You do not DO IT. Etc.

ETA: I don't want to get too political. But I thought it was a universal thing that former presidents DO NOT comment on the actions of current presidents. I mean, when you saw "W" at the inauguration it was written all OVER his face like, "I just want to get back to my ranch and be at peace." He is not out hawking his opinions like a freaking dude on the side of a NY street with stolen and counterfeit merchandise all in your face. EVERY day it seems like Obama has to trash talk Trump.

Dude, DO IT AT HOME. It's not fair. You KNOW how much it SUCKS being president, spending time giving speeches about how the current president sucks, ESPECIALLY when your crowing achievement was OBAMACARE. COME on you should be hiding in a hole somewhere. I mean, yeah, you DID make some reasonable changes at the expense of the economy as a whole I REMEMBER the Obama years and one way how I retroactively judge presidents is how my life went during their term(s) and seriously it was like the WORST 8 YEARS of my LIFE almost.

I mean I had friends benefit but I don't think Obama really like did anything that great. I mean, I don't think he has anything NAMED after him, maybe we could use a COAL MINE but Trump seems real fond of discussing those so IDK how well it would work.;

Okay stopping sorry.

can't decide about this one
decided to play with lavender....
it's not bad...it's different
after I made it yesterday I was like woah too much honey....but today it's toned down, may knock that back a bit though....
I think it needs more cakeiness...donno, can't put my finger on it, but it needs something

Lavender Dreams
FA Lavender 3%
FW Vanilla Cupcake 6.5%
FA Honey 2%
TFA Butter .5%

at first I was thinking 1% on butter, but then thought that'd be too much....now i'm thinking I should have left it at 1%, maybe knock the lavender down to 2% so it's not so prominent....

right now, though my tastebuds are a bit off, it's more of a sweet floralily almost cream...not so much a dessert

and i'm not sure why, but it seems a bit harsh even at max vg....if i try to chain vape it, it irritates my throat....then again :lol: I am allergic to flowers (though I doubt this is made with real lavender....)
I think it may be the cupcake, I know the angel food cake does the same thing.....

Mowed and weedeated today, birds kept buzzing my head. Guess they confused the grass on top my head for their nests, lol. Saw a Roadrunner with a snake in his mouth, and a Hawk being chased off by some Mockingbirds, taking flight from the tree behind the house.

Anyway, chicken is ready for grilling, homemade BBQ sauce is mixed, grill grates are cleaned, no work tomorrow, and whiskey is present, so it looks like I'm set for the weekend. Have a good weekend folks.

As a child of nonbelievers, I am surprised to learn that such a lot guarantees misery.

I was mainly referring to the Koolkiz reference to country being depressing. I think that song is one of the most depressing songs I have ever heard. I only say amen out of sarcasm... My mother was Catholic and made the mistake of taking me to one of the services when I was in my twenties. I thought I'd make her laugh by splashing my hands around in some water bowl by the doors. It didn't work. My father who was atheist thought it was funny as hell though...

Sometimes I think the difference between religious and spiritual and I have taken part in many religions including various NON Catholic options although I DID get up and get communion at my nieces' like "Wedding to Christ" or whatever it is which is SERIOUSLY CREEPY I MEAN they are little girls. Last I checked, Jesus did not endorse pedophilia. I mainly did it because I could (I am baptized by my ex MIL who is a humorless priest. She did the kid (in utero) which I think is non kosher but she was like, "I don't know when I will have the chance again." Since I rarely talk about religion I mainly did it to see if the like SIL was wondering if I "Did not know" or whether I "Could" or not. LOL.

Also some sufism and other random stuff here and there and the Indian religions.

So I'm not really "religious" although most have SOME good in them but like, well, the difference between religion and spirituality sometimes, is merely and ONLY a sense of humor.

Like, if you behave like yourself too much.... In any religion there is a subtle pressure to like, "conform."

Instead of painting that over I would have commissioned an artist to make a red Godzilla with the words, "ROAR we don't bite come right in!!"

If they had done that I might have JOINED that church.
