    Plans today,folks?:) I don't have much on the agenda.Still haven't decided if I'll mix the last two PB recipes. Don't feel like trying sft's or coiling the dang dripper. Going to put some effort into trying the 2 mixes that are ready.

    VTA Botanical Gin tastes like a good, high-end gin. Their tonic tastes like tonic water. Both are surprisingly authentic. It takes about a week of steeping to get all of the bitter quinine flavor from the tonic, but it does come out.
    Bitter you say??..............LOL

    I'm patiently waiting on vape mail this week:

    batteries from Illumn.com came in yesterday and slipped by Canada customs without any problems. :thumbs:

    Chef's order coming soon (10 new flavors)

    Inawera order coming soon (17 new flavors)

    DIY-ejuice due Friday (11 new flavors)

    Best Glycol also due Friday (14 new flavors)

    :shock: I don't think I'll be doing any new flavor orders for a while.

    But, still waiting for the next FT sale :D

    Mine is a clone also also. I just dislike dripping.

    So what do you use to test flavors/recipes? To me it's easier to pop the cap on an rda and put in a new wick than having to clean a whole rta.

    Usually I use my egoOne tanks and just rewick the coils.

    You should try one of those flavors you can't taste on the dripper. I bet it's your hardware. Although I don't guarantee those flavors won't be too sweet;)
    However your over perception of sweet could also be hardware related. When I cleaned up and tried my old eGo-Cs how sweet everything was is something I noticed.

    I'm going to see how many 120ml PETE bottles I have to transfer a L of VG. Get a shopping list set up.

    Have you shared the watermelons? I'm always interested in watermelon ideas.

    From Chef's:

    Chef's One Shot: Ginger Rogers Concentrate (a coconut cookie)
    Chef's One Shot: Lemon Coconut Cream Cake (not new to me, a re-stock)
    Chef's One Shot: Tarte Au Citron (a lemon tart)
    FA Condensed Milk
    FA Premium Custard
    FA Oakwood
    DIYFS Holy Grail RY4
    FLV Bourbon
    FLV Rum & Raisin
    LB Vanilla Ice Cream
    Wreka Sexy Mango


    The FA flavors I bought are branded "Flavor Creative" at Chef's and way cheaper than I could buy them in Canada, if I could buy them in Canada :rolleyes: Oh wait, I can buy Oakwood but yeah, way cheaper at Chef's.

    @NolaMel I'm going to mix 30ml of this to play with. Will pull off a few mls and try adding various flavors like nuts, berries, and Horchata when I get it. All %.
    HS italian cream 1.25
    FE sweet rice 4
    INW vanilla shisha .75
    VTA white chocolate 3
    Thinking of trying another version using TFA vanilla swirl and WF tahitian vanilla cream instead of Italian cream and vanilla shisha. May wait until I get the vanilla gelato for the v2.

    I ordered some coilology braided 316 3mm coils from FT after seeing someone brag on them in another thread. I put one in the tank I’ve been running my lemonade in and really like it. They heat up nicely without a preheat or primer puff. Great flavor too.

    I’m almost half way into the month and figure I may as well wait for the Labor Day sale at bcf. If they do 20 off again it could save me over $10.
