Uh, if you don't take the cap off before shaking (DON'T!! :lol: ) you're not adding any air to the bottle.

I'd warm it well, and shake it very well before decanting.
It's room temp so I don't know how much warmer I can get it without microwaving it. But I will shake it up good before I pour it into the bottles.

    VG is thick. Pour slowly.

    I didn’t have any trouble the other day, but maybe their system is overwhelmed right now. The huge % off sales started much later than I expected. It’s like a vape Black Friday right now.
    I just tried to order and its really wonky on check out. Tried checking out twice and nada. Probably why stuff is still available.

    Dicodes SBS is out for delivery. They shipped it from Switzerland on Monday...

    I will. Stupid PG shortage is the only reason I got VG Nic in the first place.

    Ouch man, I am very worried about you.

    I have a question for those of you who have bought and bottled VG nic. Do I need to shake the hell out of the container before pouring it into glass bottles? I remember reading something about hotspots being possible in VG nic. But then I also remember seeing something about not shaking nic due to it adding oxygen.

    I never bothered. Someone who knows about this stuff, Kurt I think, said that nic and VG wouldn't separate because of the way they interact in solution.

    It isn't Shingles, is it? I thought I had bug bites for a week and it turned out to be Shingles.
    YIKES! I hope not. And I think shingles presents itself on one side of the body...these bites are on both sides. I read that gnat bites are horribly itchy and can be that way for an entire week. The ones I've scratched into scabs seem to be better. The others are still gnarly and itchy. I'm hoping they will get better soon.

    Although they‘re expensive, they may be the ones I like best.
    What color did you choose?

    You have chiggers in your area?

    I think it's gnat bites. The gnats were swarming me the other day. We've had gobs of rain lately and it was the first mowing so I disturbed them.

    I asked this question once to River. They said to move the bottle up and down for a bit before decanting. I think. Gosh my brain is fried. But it seems like I remember that. I always shake mine as much as I can.

    That’s strange. I’ve ordered from them a lot and never had that happen. I have an order from them that just shipped.
    this is the second time it's happened, the first time they were all like oops our bad....this time they are being buttheads about it.

    I like the idea of mango wafer. That reminds me, I need to decide on a strawberry flavor to use for my Strawberry Wafer recipe. @ShowMeTwice recommended Shisha, but I don't have that one.
    with fruits, esp strawberries, I find it best to mix different kinds together in equal parts (a normal version, a sweet version, and maybe a ripe version)

    I think it's gnat bites. The gnats were swarming me the other day. We've had gobs of rain lately and it was the first mowing so I disturbed them.
    every year they are a problem here in my apartments (they don't spray or anything and there's a lake outside)
    I use old olive and pickle jars, use a corn cob holder and poke a bunch of holes in the lid (it's about the right size). Pour some apple cider vinegar, dish soap, and water into the bottle, shake it up and put the lid on....I place one in the kitchen, one in the living room and one in the bathroom....the gnats climb into the jar, attracted by the acv and get stuck due to the dish soap, and the lid makes it harder from them to escape.
    I'll also soak any dirty dishes in soapy water, something about the soap changes the chemical structure of the water so it makes it hard for them to get out of it. you could also use pieces of fruit in the jar...but I just stick to acv so that they drown and then I can easily just dump it down the drain :p sometimes I'll put my used coffee grounds into the jar as well, seems to attract them fairly well too.

    I am a bath taker on most days. But I will throw in some Epsom Salts today. Thanks for the tip!
    use 1 - 2 cups of vinegar in your bath (apple cider is best but any will do, I buy a gallon of it cheap at walmart) soak for at least 30 minutes, but longer is best in as hot of water as you can stand....it will help restore your body's natural ph levels...great for skin conditions and dandruff....the smell can be a bit off putting but once you are out of the bath you don't smell like vinegar (your hair still might) but you smell like something sweet :p I try to do this at least once a month, you can do it weekly, I wouldn't go more than once a week...

    I'm glad I'm not the only one. Mine keeps giving me a reCAPTCHA error or however you spell it. I've done it over and over, sometimes it doesn't even give me a picture, and others it does, but it still won't work.

    So I heard back from support. I called them and we did the transaction over the phone per his recommendation. So make a support ticket and wait for his response and he will handle it over the phone. His name is Dip Patel. He said they were having website issues and he just got off the phone with another person from ECF. He said he would post about it on ECF.

    I just got 10 packages of the Pilotvape Cloud cotton that comes in a pack of 50 shoe string cotton pieces. That makes 500! And I also got two packs of face masks.

    I found what I was looking for cheaper elsewhere. So I'm just out time. :) Glad to know it wasn't just me. I'm exhausted already looking for bargains. :)
