There are only 2 vendors I would still order from. In fact, I received an email from one yesterday that said they are submitting their stuff for PMTA, which is good to hear them at least trying.
The only vendor juice I'd order, and I haven't done so in years, is DIYFlavorshack. They were my first exposure to DIY when I would order their DS ready to vape juices in 2x the nic level I usually vaped. Cut that 50/50 with PG and double my order for only a $1 more. It took me while to realize I wasn't getting the same PG/VG ratio, but I was only vaping on pens at the time.
I would order from venders if they offered lower mg
some do, but most don't....and I'm not going to pay for 0 nic
I mean I know I'm at an odd level, 1.5mg, but still....a lot of places don't even offer 3mg...
I have some additives just in case but yeah I haven't used them...unless you consider river's crunch an additive, not sure on that one...it just adds a kind of crispness to baked goods...and every now and then...I might add a drop or two of super sweet after mixing if I feel that it needs it
like the sft of fruit circles....I ended up adding about 10 drops of fresh cream, 2 drops of [ignore that]eucalyptus[i meant cactus...haven't had my coffee yet], and a drop of super sweet to it (50ml)...it's now tolerable to vape...smoothed out that harshness it had but muted a bit of the fruity cereal flavor also

It would be $40 for a 100 ml bottle not including shipping at HHV. That would last me 5 days. Comparable price to smoking. I'm not sure how I afforded it when I used to buy it, especially at the amount I vape. It's good though. But I'm happy with my DIY.
I got my 3B Cheesecake mixed. Let the steeping begin. I'm gonna miss it.
It was already in the blog.
Crap, I should have mixed my new recipe while I had my cases out. In the middle of doing laundry so it probably won't get mixed today.
sometimes I feel I'm the only poor person in here
I've barely spent maybe $100 on vaping in the past year and that's pretty much all just diy stuff
i hardly spend any money on vaping on average....
I used to get a new mod every year for my vapaversiary but haven't really been doing that either...
pretty much since I got the aegis legend and then the profile and then got the squonk adapter because dual squonk mods are expensive.....I've been pretty happy with this set up
my mesh strips last, well....forever...I burn the gunk off of them every week or two and rewick...only had 3 that I had to toss because the mesh gave out...no joke, I bought a 10pk of mesh back in march 2019, and I've still got 4 of them left...so in 1 1/2 years I've used 6 strips in 3 atties...they seem to last about 6 months before the mesh just falls apart
I can tell you that I'm not wealthy and not poor. I did grow up very poor when I lived with my mom growing up. We were lucky to have enough food to eat sometimes. I wasn't mad at her since I knew she was doing her best but swore that my kids would never experience anything like that as long as I was around and able to work. I've worked for everything I've gotten. I can definitely sympathize with folks that have medical issues keeping them from working. My mom had health issues and my wife has had more things than I can even remember.
Apologies if my post about my spending came across as bragging. I was simply posting my usual lame humor that probably rubbed some wrong. I've worked hard all my life. I have my own business that was just side money for more than 25 years and it's finally started paying off in the last five.
Health issues, I have my own. A few here know I suffer from early onset alzheimer's, I don't speak of it often. My older brother is in the final stages of it now. I know I am a distance from the stage he is in .. but when I visit him it hits me at what I will face one day.
I'll keep my posts lite moving forward. Again, I'm sorry.

I still need to mix. This weekend I'm mixing up buttermint. LOL It does smell good. I hope I like it. Otherwise, the family will get it all.
I grew up poor. My mom worked 16 hours a day to provide. It was hard and took a toll on her. She had a massive stroke at the age of 42. I have constant fatigue but have to work now. For the family and for my health insurance. My partner he is doing a lot around the house (he was terminated from his job/downsized due to covid). I still cook and wash dishes. I've been though a few jobs in the past 4 years due to: they sucked and getting diagnosed with a disease. So yes, money was tight.

na not at all...I was just teasing
I enjoy seeing all of these posts of what others have gotten
I mean I am poor but I don't grudge anyone ... circumstances are what they are, that's no one else's fault...
don't mind me one bit...you'll know if I'm really upset about something
I do not offend easily...and if I am, then there will be about a 10 page notice
my husband jokes a lot that I really only talk when I'm mad
I grew up in a not great environment of you should be seen and not heard and not seen really either unless asked to do something...so my conversation skills aren't that great...if I offended you somehow please don't mind, I didn't mean to...take most of what I say in jest
Ok, one more order placed. I went ahead and ordered an extra pod and two packs of coils for the sceptre from ecigmafia. I may place a flavor order if there's a sale over the holiday and that's going to be about it for me for a while.
Not offended one bit. I enjoy your posts. Carry on.
I've been downloading videos for precisely this reason.I hope they don't remove youtube videos on vaping. I'll be in trouble if I can't watch the pros and learn how to coil and wick my vapes.
Oh, come on @hittman. Just one more order. You know you want to.
Although I guess it is possible, but I really doubt all of the coiling and wicking videos get deleted from Youtube.
I've placed more orders this week than I have in the last two months. I wouldn't be the first person to swear I was done and then place yet another order.
I am a single, never married Mom with no help financially or otherwise and my salary does not make us rich by any means. All these years were a struggle to manage everything, raising my son, job, home, and money when my pay was lower. I was selling blood plasma just a few years ago so I could have a budget buffer, even a small one. I always feel guilty when I buy myself things. Things improved, but the struggle and worry will never be forgotten.
