Uh, afternoon??

Just got power back a bit ago, been a chilly morning here... close to a foot of that cold white stuff on the ground, and apparently a few car meets pole events overnight...

Hello again. I had just gotten in from a trip to my local pharmacy and my order from BCF arrived. I'm glad I was home because the guy rang my doorbell and waited for me to answer the door. He just wanted to know who I was and handed it to me. No ID check just said he had a package for "my name" and ask if it was me. Oh, well. It was a different FedEx driver than the usual guy. I wonder if he has just taken over the route and getting to know who is on his route.

Good morning mixers! I don't know why but I feel panic when I think of my nicotine stash. I know "I should" have enough. However, I keep thinking I can squeeze another liter or two in my freezer. Maybe I'll live a long life and need more..
Thanks for the heads-up. I ordered a few more flavors and another liter of Nic just for grins and giggles. At that price, I couldn't pass it up.

TY for asking! I am just logging readings for the doctor, but it seems to be trending down some.
That is good news. I'm going to have to get another appt with my Dr for a follow-up on my BP. That can wait until after this winter storm leaves our area. I have a 2-week supply for these meds and then she will reevaluate what is happening.

Absinthe: I hate these kinds of flavors in a vape. Like licorice, which make me cough and whose flavor I can't get out of a tank with a week soaking in PGA.
That's how I felt about rootbeer. Also wanted to try licorice (and I do love old school hard core black licorice IRL) but I fear it would be the same.

@FranC how do you wash out your bottles? I have a bunch of glass (and a small few plastic ones) that I need to reuse. I always end up replacing the seal inside the glass bottle caps since they seem to absorb the smell of the eliquid and probably some actual eliquid, that's inexpensive to do, but other than a very hot water bath I have always been unsure about the bottles.

    I have a container of warm water that I soak them in.Of course the water cools off but still works fine for me.I just leave them soaking til my container gets full or when I need something. I rinse in hot water and let dry. It’s always worked fine for me.

    I need some advice folks. I do so many SFTs, then use those to create recipes. That works great (I can switch up ingredients and try different combos) but now I need to write a recipe from scratch and having trouble on the % to use. It's my peanut butter banana pudding with vanilla wafers. These are the flavors and % (if mixed solo):
    TFA peanut butter DX 1.5 %
    WF banana puree 4 %
    VT pudding base 5 %
    PUR cookie 5 %
    Logic would seem to say use them all at 1/4 those % (because four flavors) but I feel that will be too weak (and I can easily dilute this later if needed) Any suggestions? Yes... this is where I admit doing all these SFTs has backfired on me ;)

    You can try leaving the Pb as is and cutting the others in half.

    I forgot to mention... when I did mix this from solo batches, basically equal amounts (proportions)
    Ironically, I actually felt like the peanut butter needed more (because I mixed it at 1%... that's why I posted it at 1.5 %) Thank you Fran... half % sounds perfect (and dilute later if needed) I have made the mistake of not using enough % and it's really hard to add all four flavors later :thumb:

    Any suggestions?

    To me, the % you use of each in your recipe...would depend on which one(s) you want to be the dominant/primary taste(s) in the finished eliquid. The others would need to be lower % than their SFT %. If your SFT % each resulted in a strong enough flavor to be to your liking....if you use the SFT % of each flavoring...you won't have any in the background or as secondary ones....will you? IDK, that's just my take on it.

    JC... I totally get what you are saying but this recipe does need all the flavors (equally) I actually think that is why I like it so much. There are no primary or secondary flavor(s) even though that is how most recipes work. This is an "in your face" desert and I want all the flavors to be forward. When I do cheesecake and berries, the cheesecake is primary, the berries sit on top of that (OK... I'm pretending I know the lingo) but this is a special one for me. But... please feel free to give me advice (I admit I still need some help creating actual recipes and not just playing with my SFTs) Anyway, going to mix it tomorrow using about half % for each flavor (then will dilute as needed)

    I love mine and it is all I've used since I got it.

    "My" thoughts:

    The Innokin Kroma-Z POD/MOD - Review by Uncle

    Innokin Kroma-Z Review

    Hope this information is helpful . . . :D

    BTW: I have a couple of the Kroma-Z . . . :facepalm:


    .

    So many new mods and the time is running out.

    There's a Kroma R also, but I've seen some complaints about it doing weird things (like refusing to fire for no apparent reason).

    I love my Solos, but I'm still looking at that little Vaporesso Swag 2. I really like those new quick-firing chips. :)
