So much helpful info., recommendations, details, explanations, etc. that people have taken the time to write here...and 99% of it is/was on the other thread already, a few days ago. :blink: But, it's hard to know if other threads already exist sometimes.

For reference: Can we still buy diy online?
Yes that would probbly be what I posted in new. And everyone was so very helpful on both threads.

I actually didn't mean to start the conversation here as well. I was actually referring to vg/pg nic. That someone was talking about and got me going again. Everyone taking the time to help newbie's is awesome. Cuz it can be hard to understand EXPECALLY when your not actually talking to one another.

    Please don't use those for storing nicotine base. For one thing, those lids are not
    airtight (unless processed in boiling water like for canning) and will let oxygen in, and they corrode. If you must use Mason jars, make sure to buy plastic lids--sold separately.

    Ball Reusable Wide Mouth Food Storage Lids Gray or
    Ball Reusable Regular Mouth Food Storage Lids

    Also, we are trying to minimize head space in the storage container--bottles with narrow necks and poly-cone caps are much more suitable for this purpose than jars with wide opening on top.
    Thank you! I saw them at Kroger yesterday and I figured I'd grab them. They had some extra lids that was plastic but not in that size..

    The kind that e liquid comes in at the moment I only have the kind that has a dropper. Is it ok to use that or do I need a bottle cap?
    Thank you so much for letting me no about the Mason jars maybe I could use them for mixing or something..I'm glad I sent a picture to you.

    I've got a list with about 33 diff. Kinds I've been looking at recipes and comparing the ingredients and who makes it. I love strawberry with vanilla bean ice cream and some milks and creams even marshmello.
    I also like strawberry, banana smoothie as well. I no there are many different creams, cakes, batters, cheesecakes, cookies etc.

    I'm mostly getting 15.ml bottles except on the strawberry ripe, sweet strawberry I've been doing this for HOURS NOW o_O !lol I think I about got it tho. But I'm open to anything. I also bought some peach I thought a peach smoothie would be different to the taste buds. I got a grape candy and a sour I plan on using together. Starting out it can be quite expensive.

    You need the correct caps for your bottles or just buy the bottles with the correct caps. You need caps like these Plastic Bottles, Plastic Jars and Glass Containers | Wholesale and Bulk

    I love birthdays. I’d go for a whole week of celebration if it was possible lol. Yep, the month of March is all mine lol
    I’ve climbed alot of rocky mountains, passed through beautiful plains, and crawled through some hellacious chasms in 57 years. I’m happy to celebrate where it brought me to today. Age is just a number. I’ll be 58 next March no matter what, so why ignore it and not celebrate it?
    End of February is mine. Pisces. I missed being a leap year baby by hours in 1960. If I would have been born on LY I would only be 15 now. Don't think I would have been allowed on ECF. :lol: The journey you've been on sounds similar. Like you I wouldn't be where I am today without All the "stuff". And you're right, age is merely a silly number. It don't mean a thing. I'm still a kid at heart who loves to play, play, play.

    We'll all celebrate your next bday, virtually of course!!! :D

    If you like cheesecake flavors, Chezzy biscuits or anything like that. WF Mascarpone is a great cheese flavor.

    I hope you DID NOT BUY ANY OF THOSE flavors at Kroger.

    And the easiest way to initially succeed is to buy specific flavors to match a recipe. ;)

    IDK, you might just slip by me. I just got the notice that my pkg cleared customs on 9/12 which is 4 days ago. So who knows where it actually is.
    The 4PX tracker that @Katya showed us says my package cleared customs on the 13th. Don't know where (New York?), but better not look back Fran, I could be gaining on you.

    River is your best bang for your buck especially their clearance section
    and I’m not a stickler when it comes to brands
    if a recipe calls for let’s say pur strawberry but you have tfa strawberry ... it’s fine
    very rarely do you need to use the specific brand, not saying that some are better than others but just saying you can usually achieve the same thing with what you have on hand or cheap flavorings.
    Everyone’s taste is different so what one person likes better, another might not.
    Like for me, I can tell you that I do not like any tfa chocolates at all...but others like them.
    As Fran mentioned if you like cheesecake mascarpone cheese is a good one to have on hand to add to cheesecakes and graham cracker clear
    vanilla bean ice cream is nice to have on hand for creams and things
    A drop or two of cactus can help and moisture back into a vape. A drop or two of fresh cream or vape train pudding base can add a nice mouth feel.
    a drop or two of ws-23 can add a cooling effect without a menthol taste
