Good morning Folks :)

Going to try and get some mixing done today.

I tested WF S'mores Cupcake and WF Nanaimo Bars. I do like them, so much so, that I bought 2 30ml bottles of each from BCF yesterday. Also bought a bunch of other flavors. Some are new for me and others are to restock my supply.
You liked the s’mores cupcake solo? I forgot I had it.

    @FranC , I've been waiting two weeks for Bull City to re-stock Ice Cream Vanilla-SSA to get as part of the ice cream base you like. No joy. I was thinking of substituting Vanilla Ice Cream-VT. Think that would work OK?
    Well, IDK, but with the lack of restocking I’d give it a try.

    IMO s'mores cupcake is like a one shot as is the nanaimo bars. I could vape either as a single and be very happy. I have many ideas for using them. Both also work well with my ice cream base. I dripped some of each separately with the ic earlier this morning.

    Argument with self.... You need an rda for flavor testing..... No I do not..... Yes,you do. It would be so much easier to test new flavors and mixes....... Maybe so but I hate dripping almost as much as I hate squonking..... case closed.

    :D Wow. Clearly presented facts. Well done! :)

    I've been waiting two weeks for Bull City to re-stock Ice Cream Vanilla-SSA. I was thinking of substituting Vanilla Ice Cream-VT.
    VT vanilla ice cream is good. It is a darker vanilla. Does well with a long steep (3 weeks). If I was mixing it with SSA Ice Cream or the SSA Ice Cream Vanilla (the one you don't have) I would start the VT VIC at 1.5-2%.

    Hope that helps.

    That would drive me nuts. I probably would have to go thru them all.
    It did. So I started going through them with TFA first and I found it straight away! Vanilla bourbon from TFA was missing. I have no idea how that happened. Maybe I accidentally chose FA when I put it in elr cause I have that one too. I also found a tobacco not correct in elr so I fixed that. I went through my three major brands with a lot of flavors and everything was good. The smaller amounts I figured were correct.

    Then I rearranged my flavors to fit better in my boxes and relabeled the ones I moved to bigger boxes. My flavors were a mess and it was bothering me and now they are not. I have so much flavor it’s crazy. I also got all my premades in one box and relabeled.

    I use the box method instead of cases. It works for me. It’s so much better now. Huge accomplishment that took no time at all.

    Why do you hate squonking? All the cool kids do it. Even the word is cool. Squonk, squonk.

    Probably cause I never could get into dripping. I did try both dripping and squonking so I was fair. It's a no-go for me.

    I really dislike the brands that I have one or two flavors like SC and Gremberry and others. I’m going to make an effort to use those up and curate down to a handful of brands. I saw a lot of flavors that would probably be good as a one shot like lemon pound cake.

    I have too much and it’s overwhelming. I don’t need all this to vape a good recipe. It’s hard to stop buying but I have to...I have big bottles too with some 4 ozs. It needs to stop as some of this may go bad before I even use them all up.

    Imagine 647 flavors. That's why I use the polish cases that are numbered and lettered on each side along with a master list that is printed sitting on top of the cases that lists the flavors in alphabetical order then brand, case number, case side, and slot number. I went downstairs last night and mixed a four flavor recipe in about a minute and a half. I used to hate mixing before I got my stuff organized. I'm not a super organized person but I knew if I didn't get my act together with keeping the flavors organized that I would truly suffer for it.

    For you folks that have bought from Chefs, how is their shipping times? Just in case I have to bite the bullet and get the SSA Ice Cream from across the pond.

    Chefs orders usually take 10-14 days to arrive in my experience. You might run a sample cart at nomnomz just to see but last time I ordered from them instead of chefs since shipping was cheaper and I think it arrived just a little bit faster than my chefs orders.

    I think my past shipping was about 2 weeks.

    well and you're an mtl tootle puffer aren't you? so yeah finding a rda is difficult...I ended up giving up, I mean I still bought an rda but there was nothing (at least at that time) for mtl....I miss my old et's those were great but became harder and harder to find...they were tiny but tall so great mtl rda and a cooler vape that I loved...
    you could take the top piece off and put in an ego plastic tank and it became an rdta (maybe one of the firsts but the tank was on top not the bottom, so the juice dripped down to the coil) and it held a good 20 - 30 drops at a time....man that thing was great....

    Yup, I am a tootle puffer. Never kept me from loving the .5 Kanger sub tank coils or the Vaporesso .6 mesh coils.

    Yeah the box method would not work with that many flavors. I tend to put the most used flavors at the front of the box so it tends to be easy to find them for me.

    The box works for me with only 300 flavors spread out over many brands. And I have a memory like an elephant so I can sometimes go straight to the flavor. If not, it doesn’t take me long to find it as I lift up the flavor, check the name, and move on quickly. The boxes are open with no tops. A lot of the fruits I bought early on are in 10 ml bottles so I can skip over those as I rarely use fruits.

    But I’m in the mood to curate this mess and whittle it down. Too much! I think 300 flavors is about 100 too many. It’s all a blur...:lol:...can’t say as I remember buying all this plus the gear in a year and a half. :|
