I would like to know who the genius was that figured out and tested beaver "stuff".

Can't imagine those first SFT's went well.
I'm playing "catch up" so forgive me... I am very behind ;)
I actually think I would be OK with this natural beaver scent thing. Wouldn't have it in my ADV but would try it.

Good afternoon. I’ve been busy today mixing. These are some of my most favorites in 200 ml, with 100 ml of each separated in my working bottles. There were more recipes I wanted to mix but after two hours of mixing and going down to the basement to get flavors each time I’m pooped! They were all put in a warm bath to steep and shaken well.
I need to start doing that (mixing large batches of my favorite recipes)

I started using some of the "Gorilla" bottles I had received a couple of months ago. I have plenty of 30 and 60 ml bottles. Unfortunately, the tip is too big for use on the Ares 2 tanks. It inserted and filled just fine but when I removed the tip the split fill gasket pulled out. I did manage to get the gasket re-seated, however, it did allow the ejuice to leak. As a workaround, I used a 3 ml syringe with a blunt needle to draw from the bottle and then fill the tank. Not ideal but it works.
I use a 5 ml syringe w/blunt needle (not sure... 14 ga?) all the time. It is so handy. I don't draw out of a juice bottle... I have these dollar store plastic wine glasses and estimate how much juice (or juices and flavors) I can fill all sort of pods and tanks... don't spill a drop. I am wearing it out... good thing I also have a brand new 10 ml syringe for backup.

I have more bottles I need to clean as well...for another day I guess.
I have a bunch of bottles to clean. Going to do the dishwasher thing again (have this plastic mesh and zip ties to hold them down... up side down) Worked great the last time (BTW, no detergent just water) I wash all the lids/spouts by hand.

    I have to keep my coffee light so I don’t burn out on it again. the White Coffee and FA Cappuccino are light. I always liked the Cap. over the Espresso anyway. I do have the FA Espresso Cream that I want to try. Might be lighter than I think.

    One does not need a label maker when they write this perfect

    Hey, that was done on my label making machine! :D

    It's a font called New Times Sloppy. :lol:

    I live in a van too. I added a full slide-out room to mine and a partial loft.
    That is so cool! My parents gave me their old camper van (1989 dodge van conversion) I loved it (dad told me I was the only one who could keep it running) Enjoyed it for years but it didn't belong up in the mountains at 5000 ft. Mostly sat buried in snow... roof collapsed, leaks, mold, ect. Finally gave it away. It looked exactly like this (stripes and all):

    Had a small sink and small two burner propane stove in the back. Nice little table (could be easily stored) 360 V-8 engine.

    No label making machine for me. :D

    I use a tiny piece of scrap paper, write the name on it, some scotch tape and plaster it on the glass bottle. I have no problems removing the tape. Hot water and a little Dawn works miracles. Tape comes off easily. :thumb:
    I have (finally) settled in on just writing numbers on everything (sharpie pen)... scratch paper, notes and if something changes, just change the notes. Wish I thought of this a long time ago.

    Here you go. Cologne from real beavers €90.00 ($107 USD) a bottle.

    They say it's "all natural". The scent of Castoreum is wild and leathery, very much animalistic, it is pure pheromone.

    Castoreum - Animal Perfumes - All natural perfumes since 1988 by perfumer AbdesSalaam Attar

    To my utter astonishment there are a bunch of different ones out there for sale. Walmart even sells Castoreum!

    :D

    Does anyone know anywhere else to get Purilum besides Nic River? There is one I want so bad and NIc River:-x does not have it
    I don't (and have loved River Supply all along) PUR flavors are cheap and I have liked most that I have tried (there are two I will miss so much) Unfortunately, being they (and I) are in CA there are extra charges so the only way it's going to happen is if I do a big order (and still have to pay all the extra charges)

    View attachment 933173 Nude nicotine came through like a champ with a better batch.
    The new stuff on the right. I am bottling all the old to hand out to friends (and daughter) who have dabbled in DIY but always came to me for the nicotine. Now they will have their own and not bother my stash.

    :thumb: Thanks for letting us know.
