Random DIY mixing and More

[hittman]

Morin' Ya' Random People . . .

Got a couple of questions concerning "Koolada", hopefully a few of you are using it . . .

1) Does it ever get too old?

2) Or "lose" it potency over time, even if you make sure the bottles are closed tightly ?

I'm not getting the same TH and am wondering if it is the "Koolada" or if it's "Me".



.

I've used koolada for a long time in my menthol tobacco mix and have never noticed it weakening. I usually buy at least 2oz bottles of it and they last me quite a while. I have days where I feel like I want more from my koolada/menthol and am guessing that's what you're experiencing. Any extra stress today? When I'm stressed or craving then I tend to want a stronger cooling or menthol affect. I started using INW mix mint at 2.5% at 15mg with some WTA added at work. I normally don't use WTA in my mixes but I can't vape much at work so it helps to give an extra kick.

I saw these that look decent in quality. Not sure if they would be a pain to fill up attys with the twist top though. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F3F9DW...colid=11BGNML4TIPC1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1

I also noticed these for larger bottles. The reviews are solid and would be a good size for bases and VG/PG
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C5LVWB...colid=11BGNML4TIPC1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1

It's hard to tell but the 30ml bottles might be a little hard to fill an atty with. The condiment bottles look similar but not the same as some that I tried before. It was an epic fail for me. I squeezed the bottle too hard with VG nic in it and the top popped off and I lost quite a bit of nic.

Yes, it was snowing on the way to work this morning. The forecast said 1-3 inches but the roads were just wet this morning while it was snowing. Luckily the below freezing temps aren't going to last and we'll be above freezing tomorrow.




I haven't made it but if you want to post it then I'll mix it to try if I have all the flavors.

Hi Hitt and thanks. I get a dry taste to this and wish I know how to fix that. I do not find the Gingerbread taste there much either and thought about adding a smidgeon of FLV Ginger Snap

I'll see if I can get it mixed tonight. I do have everything. I'm not surprised that the gingerbread is light in taste. In my experience, a lot of Cap flavors are weak and require higher percentages. I only have two ginger bread flavors. I have the cap and the tfa gingerbread extra ginger. I might make a second bottle with a little of the tfa added. Does this recipe need a steep?

Thanks, I actually have some of those and like them. However, the reason I am looking at Amazon in this instance is that I would be needing these in a few days.

Eightvape has the 30ml chubby gorilla stubby v3 at a good price: Chubby Gorilla Unicorn Bottle 30ml Empty Bottle

I like the 240ml in these for mixing my nic base. They are soft and easy to squeeze and I like the twist to open caps.

Natural LDPE Boston Round Bottle with Twist Top Cap

Those very similar to these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FFCTDB...colid=11BGNML4TIPC1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1.

I might get these in a 120ml or 240ml. I have about 10 30ml plastic bottles, but wanted a few more until I place a bigger order with Heartland.

New rotation mixed on 9/18/2020:
Caramel apple

All are 50 ml bottles which will last me about 2 weeks.

Yes, going from the picture, they do look the same.

Do you mean that each 50ml will last two weeks or all of them together?

For bulk mixing I use condiment bottles from Amazon.

I like these for the twist caps: https://www.amazon.com/Condiment-Twist-Cap-Condiments-Dressing-Workshop/dp/B077CWQ8FM

Sold. I just got a 6pack of the 120ml. I'll just use the 30ml bottles that I currently have and try to wash them out as best I can.

I added those to my wish list for my next order. Thanks, I didn't see those before.

All of them together, I vape dtl, I average about 20ml a day.

I may have to get those for old age back-up....LOL. I currently pour my nic base from 120ml bottles into 15ml bottles and some 30ml. I do have a good eye for it and rarely spill a drop but.....that could change I guess.

I love these bottles but they are out of stock right now. I have tons of them. Since I make 100 ml at a time it leaves me some shaking room in the 120 ml bottle. I remake a lot of my fav recipes so I just leave the label on and reuse them over and over. They are the soft LDPE plastic and I like they are BPA free as well. They have the small tips as well for filling up my RTAs/tanks. I do not like the hard plastic ones that are not LDPE.

If I want 30 ml or smaller bottles I get them from centralvapors.com. They are the soft kind as well. Decent price with the vapor25 coupon for 25% off and fast shipping.

Morning. Well besides work stuff, I am getting my BCF order today. I have spent a good amount of time trying to find some decent 120ml and 30ml plastic bottles on Amazon as well. I can't really tell which ones are good. If anyone has any recommendations, I would appreciate it.

How about you @FranC? What do you have going on today?

I saw you're using amazon to get them quickly...but thought id' throw this out there
I get mine from Home - PBOTTLE
i like there ldpe bottles, they are nice and squishy, easy on the arthritis....though a few bottles i've had issues with getting the caps off (maybe 3 out of the hundreds that I've ordered)
they've been the cheapest I've found when I needed to order
(100x50ml with caps and funnels, though I don't use the funnels = $24, they used to have free shipping over $20 or $25 but I don't think that they do that anymore...)

I think all recipes benefit from a steep. Therefor I never vape anything that is not at least 10 days old. I cannot answer that. You might find that it does not.

I agree with that.

I think I’ve found the best use for my GTX mesh tank. I decided to try a NET mix and I found I actually like my NET mixes more with the mesh.I prefer the Z coils for my regular mixes or an RTA once in awhile. So I picked Stixx Light Fire with fruits.
