Random DIY mixing and More

[hittman]

Good morning mixers. My phone is still messing up and I think I’m going to have to get a new one. I post a lot from my phone so it’s a little hard to type with it. I’m pretty sure that the screen is going bad. Sometimes I can’t type a letter and sometimes it types for me. Sometimes it opened apps I didn’t open.

Here is mine. I keep my VG/PG in the fridge because I take a looooong time to use it up. I know it's not necessary, it would be fine if I stored it somewhere else. I have easy squeeze bottles for mixing. Some flavors in fridge, some in my storage bin in my sewing room closet.

Thank you very much. I may go with how you store yours. I ordered 1000ml of vg/pg. Well I ended up making another order somewhere else and I got a gallon of vg with that order. So I'm thinking it will take a looong time to use it. Where did you get the easy squeeze bottles of you don't mind me asking? Thanks for all the other places you mentioned on storing flavors

Thank you so very much. I appreciate it

see if there's any repair shops around, here there's a uBreakiFix store and they fixed my daughters phone screen and replaced the speaker/mic for under $100, I don't remember how much it ended up being...I know they quoted $100 but after it was all said and done I want to say that it was $50, they threw in the speaker/mic for free (we hadn't asked to fix that but when they tested the phone they noticed they needed fixed and they had some used parts)....
unless you want a new one

pick you up some condiment containers (ketchup/mustard squeeze bottles ) just make sure that they can close/have some kind of cap
I had a ketchup bottle but the piece that connected the cap to the bottle broke off and well eventually I lost the cap...live and learn....

I got 3 16oz twist cap bottles, so they're big enough I don't have to refill them that often, 1 for nic, 1 for pg, and 1 for vg
makes mixing so much easier...

Someone here mention that Mt Baker juices are made from a certain flavor brand... might have been Flavor West (was that you @smacuser ?)

That is correct. I most recently made that claim on the Ice Ice Baby thread a while ago, a few other places, as well.

I did get some Zappola for an apple fritter, bear claw and fried ice cream recipes, but forgot to write them down. Guess I'm going to have to start over again .

I used that same store for a screen replacement and they charged about 150 with tax. This screen is most likely an aftermarket part. It's less than a year old but the warranty is only about 60-90 days. I forget which. Anyway, I'm not going to put another 150 into an iphone 7 so it can last another 7-10 months. I'll just bite the bullet and start new

good morning plans today to work a bit, bring my pup to the vet, and try to maintain sanity. Fishing is slow, and I wish it wasn't for multiple reasons, but I'd like to be slammed right now with fish to keep busy.

 

[chanelvaps]

HI DIY experts.
Does anybody have a recipe using Absinthe and maybe Lemon? I will take anything even if it does not have Lemon.
thanks all

 

[DavidOck]

Happy Monday, mixers.

Now that the smoke is gone, back to yard work.

I hope the fishing picks up for you. Would be good to stay busy right now.

Fires are better?

 

[DavidOck]

Nope. Fires bad. Just had to put all the outside work on hold for the last week. Hard to pick up all the debris when you can't breathe

Yes, and that really is the pits. I hope things get better for you soon.

This is a really good idea and it was sparking some kind of memory in my brain. I remember buying the twisty caps but I found all kinds of bottles in my stash that the twisty caps go to. I just don't remember when I bought them. I think I may have bought them for my finished mixes but who knows. It's been years and I just don't remember. I found all the bottles and caps in my stash and I just filled up one for VG and one for my nic. Not as big as @Shadav 's but probably around 250 ml. This will be very handy when I'm mixing.

GOOD Morning All,

Yes @hittman I need a phone too but the wife says Uhn-Uh. I'm retiring 12/1 and we may not have income for a month or two it seems. Doesn't keep her off of Amazon though.

Funny how that works. I'll probably just go to Best Buy again and do the monthly payments added to my bill. For some reason they usually give you a better deal if you take the payments but you can pay off the phone any time after the first payment. I don't need the latest and greatest phone. I usually just go with whatever is the cheapest iphone at the time. I damaged the screen myself the first time. I had it in a coat pocket on a service call and it got hit and the screen stopped working completely. I needed something fast so got it repaired the same night. I thought the replacement screen would last longer. It hasn't been dropped, hit, or anything.

Easy peasy. Tell her, no phone, no Amazon.
