I must be one of only a handful of people who truly enjoys grocery shopping. Funny thing is I find it to be a very relaxing and pleasurable experience. Even Zen like. Always take my time, never rush. Knowing when to go to avoid the masses is key.
I enjoy it too but my wife doesn't and hurries me all the time :)

I'm a browser...it's kind of like the man's version of a clothes shop....mind you I'm like that in those too o_O:)

    If your wife doesn't like grocery shopping maybe she'd let you go alone?

    What % did you use graham at? Graham still might work for you minus the gooey marshmallow. Maybe the gooey was messing with the graham too.

    Just a thought, mix up 30mls of just s'mores and FA marshmallow. Then you could split that into 3 10mls to test what base you prefer.

    Yes, maybe INW biscuit or FA cookie for more texture.

    Or if you have one of these...

    SSA Caramel Biscuit - I think the caramel needs help. It's a good flavor.
    SSA Shortbread Biscuit - Just as good as their shortbread cookie. A little less sweet.
    I have those except caramel biscuit. I used FW graham cracker. My only others are TFA cc( graham crust), CAP gc, and TFA gc. Is there a better choice out of those?

    My wife hated grocery shopping with a passion. Early on in our marriage I told her lets make out our list, add whatever ya want/need, and I will do all the grocery shopping. That worked out perfectly cuz I prefer going very early in the mornings when they are restocking all the fresh produce and whatnot.

    When I was younger there was a learning curve, like understanding women do prefer certain brands for their special needs. First time I came home, very proud that I saved some money, with the generic brand I was nearly hung and quartered. I learned a very valuable lesson that day and kept all my parts. :D

    Do the groceries on your own. You will make V even more happier than she already is. Come home with some fresh flowers for her = icing on the cake.

    I lived by a simple rule... Happy Wife, Happy Life.

    Oh boy. o_O Maybe TFA graham cracker clear??? I didn't like FW graham cuz it was a coil gunker. @FranC might be better to ask which one would be better.

    FWIW, BCF has FA graham. ;) :)

    Yeah, yeah, yeah… it’s on the list for next order. I was surprised at my lack of gc, given my deep love for cheesecakes.

    Hi Tor. Last year I posted some info in the Shiny thread about regulations coming to the EU and other parts of the world. Nearly every EU nation, and many others, follow the WHO's recommendations. Some in the Shiny thread felt this would not happen. Since then, it is happening, or beginning to, all over the world (including China). Big Tobacco's roots run very deep. They want complete control ($$$) over the vape industry.

    Stock-up on as much nicotine as you are able. Flavors too.
    Most nations are really just copying each other, and to be honest, it's $$$ that rules.

    I will buy a liter of nic next week, comes with four KFL'21 and accessories.
    It's time to start bunkering up, even for me.

    Everything they come up with does not affect me, not right now.
    The actual formulations they have are almost like that Tor's smoking history is the way we see it should work.
    But when I think about it, of all the ex smokers I know, I'm the only one who prefers tobacco taste.

    And they are concerned that young people feel that the package looks attractive. Most Eleaf, Innokin, Aspire's I have bought, the package is at least not super attractive, maybe the other way around.
    The most expensive products I have bought have a very distinct box.

    The last time they changed on tobacco related packages in Norway, everything was supposed to be brown, the color so dull that no one wanted to buy something like that. The young people are not like us, retro and minimized appearance ticks all the boxes for them, so things like a brown box "snus" took off properly.

    TFA Graham Clear would be my pick.

    Today is mixing day for me. I've got all my bottles washed. It will be mostly single flavor vapes, but I will mix up another bottle of of the wedding cake recipe plus a bottle of the wedding cake with a couple of raspberries added in. Can't forget Fran's Irish Cream Coffee. Add in a few new mixes as well. One is Mother of Dragon's Milk. I think it was Red that posted that one always back. Another I got off of ELR called Forest Custard. If it's any good, I'll post it.

    Has anyone tried Thingamabob?

    I mixed it but am letting it steep. It may be ready by this weekend. I may actually have a whole week without a review to do. Who knows though. Sometimes stuff shows up with no warning.

    I'm on DIY Vapor Supply website to get a few flavorings that I couldn't find elsewhere, for a DIY newbie to try. I already have (3) 30mL bottles in My Cart, and S/H via First Class is only $4.95.

    I remembered your post above, so went looking for it. Seems like maybe something "wonky" was going on with their S/H calculator widget when you were on their site...for it to show the S/H you mentioned above...for just (2) 10mL bottles. ;) You might want to try it again.

    ETA: Also just found out that if you sign up for their newsletter emails...they'll send you a coupon code for 10% off! :thumbs:
    Thanks JC. You are right, it is now showing $4.95 for shipping for me. That is a little more palatable shipping charge than the 9 or 10 bucks I originally saw.

    Out of curiosity, what flavorings did you get there that you could not find anywhere else?

    Yep, I did mix up the Dragon's Milk about a month ago. It was pretty good. It is something I could see myself mixing again.
