Random DIY mixing and More

What brand of Pom do you like best?

I've only tried FA and TFA. TFA wins but I'm not sure if it was a fair fight, TFA was used to work up the recipe. I just replaced TFA with the FA. I dropped the amount of FA but it might need to go lower still.
I don't mind the FA in Pornegranate so they're both good to me.

Those are the two I have and I have only used them together - .75% of FA and 4% of TFA. I am trying to figure out which one would be better to add some tart to a cranberry mix I am working on. I guess I will be forced to single flavor test them. Should have done that already anyway. Thanks!

Judging from the fruit I like I have a very high tolerance for tart. I don't notice it in either.
I tried the FA to use less in the Pomegranate menthol, make it cheaper. I think I'll keep it for mixes to have more room and use the TFA for the mentholated fruit.

I tried a mix yesterday that was a Pom/Gin/ Champagne. It surprised me with sweetness.I dug out the recipe and I used both FA and TFA Pom. I blame the TFA on the sweetness.

Going through mixes has given me a supply of mixing bottles. I really need to be more careful in what I mix. I keep saying that but I haven't paid attention yet. Still have the 2 tea recipes written down but I haven't had much luck with tea yet so it will be small bottles if I mix those. I have no big plans for today other than a couple mixes to try.

I got a bag of 100 50 ml bottles.
(someone posted a bottle company - thank you !)
I shoulda got a bag of smaller ones too.

Anyhoo, I mixed up some stand alones to see how they go.
But dang - I forgot to put the flavor company on the labels and everything is all put away now.

Apple Pie
Fruity Circles
Lemonade Cookie
Green Tea

The Green Tea is kinda freaking me out, it really smells floral !

My blah start to the vaping day has picked up a bit. Find myself liking the FLV Brie in my cheesecake. I tried Brie in rl once and thought it was terrible. I get a nice creamy,slightly cheesy flavor from the FLV Brie flavor.

I got a bag of 10ml bottles from that place too. I was getting low and I use those for my daily carries and for mixing samples.

If it was DropperBottles.com...he'll let you mix a variety of different bottles to make the 100 minimum, ie. (50) 50mL + (25) 15mL + (25) 30mL, etc. You'll pay the price for 100 of the most expensive ones though, which would be the 50mL ones. You put a note in the Order Note section stating how many you want of each size that you order.

Well I sure wish that had been mentioned

I've mentioned it on many other threads in the past when recommending DropperBottles.com. IIRC the person who mentioned getting bottles...didn't say anything though, about wanting various sizes, or I would've posted about it then when I suggested them. I'm sorry.

ETA: I also edited my last post so you'll know how to specify what you'd want in a "mixed order".

Happy Saturday everyone!

Today I’m going to make a small tester of the Pear Apple Kiwi recipe we’ve been working on.

Also have a recipe for a Gemini Octo clone I’m going to try out. Hoping it comes out good even though it wont be a perfect clone.

I picked up a mix of the LDPE BIG MOUTH BOSTON's from them a while back... Pretty nice bottles & very easy to mix in...

Champagnes can be sweet too. Which did you use?

I was just looking at those. I have always preferred the bigger openings for just that reason, altho I do have some bottles that have the little openings and the caps with the needles attached for friends.

@JCinFLA

Do you know where I can get some caps only that fit the smaller openings with the needles attached?

I need those for some of the 50 ml bottles I bought from China, but they only have the small caps and dripper portion. If I remember correctly, I think you mentioned those at one time? Or you got the same kind?

If not, can you guestimate the neck size?

Thanks

Just the needle caps are very hard to find. I searched and searched about a year ago. I found some that were pretty expensive, and since I didn't know the specific dimension and neck threading of my bottle necks...I didn't buy any of them. Would have been a waste of $$ trying to find the correct ones to fit, IMO.

What I ended up buying, was some of these little 5mL bottles with the needle caps from FT:

$2.31 E-liquid Refiller Bottle for Electronic Cigarette (10-Pack / 5mL) 10-pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I just took the caps off to use on my other larger bottles that are 30mL and 50mL. They fit mine fine, but IDK if they'll fit all of those size plastic bottles. I bought the little 5mL ones, instead of more expensive sizes...since the caps appear to be the same no matter the capacity of the bottle.

If not, can you guestimate the neck size?

You can measure the mm diameter of any bottle opening (that's the easy part), but...the neck threading is the part that I don't know how to determine.

That is what I needed to know. Thanks. I think we have the same 50 ml bottles that another member suggested long time ago. So if those are what you are talking about that is what I am looking for.

Don't know about ordering from FT now-----leary on the tariff's, etc.

 

[JCinFLA]

Here's a 50-pack of the 10mL ones, for a lower cost each....if you want that many:

$7.44 Empty Needle Refiller Bottle for E-Liquid (50-Pack) 50-pack - 10ml / PE at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

 

[JCinFLA]

So if those are what you are talking about that is what I am looking for.

If you're talking about the ones on eBay, with the various mL markings on them...yep, those I linked to fit them and work fine = no leaking!
