    Yes I found it has really come together after four weeks and even when you top it with some fruits it's better after a further week or so to let everything really meld. It's a 100ml bottle for me next mix :wub:

    I figured that but didn't have anything else to vape so I tried it - can really taste all the different flavors and one in particular is not good at this point but I have faith it will get better. Off to mix something I can vape today!

    My other plan is to make tacos. I didn't get to make them last night and REALLY want them now. Must...not...make...them...at...7am.

    Oh, go ahead! We sometimes have breakfast for dinner, so why not dinner for breakfast? :)

    No, haven't kept track of spending. But haven't bought much (other than flavors) in quite some time. I was well stocked on the mods and RTAs I use, and nic, before the first (broken) deadline. Added a mess of another RTA before the second. I think my last hardware purchase was some time last year.

    In Maryland cigarettes are now $9 to $10 a pack and I did 2 packs a day, I'm doing ok.
    I saw the M brand stinkies (the one with the cowboy dude) advertised for $6 a pack on the gas station sign the other day. I really thought they’d be more expensive. I quit almost ten years ago, and I don’t recall the price being far off from that then

    Wow, 10 bucks for a pack of cigarettes? That's ridiculous.

    I have friends in New York who were already paying $10/pack even 5-6 years ago.

    In summer of 2011, when I was still a smoker...I'd taken plenty of my ciggies with me on a 2-week trip to Alaska. But, just for comparison, I checked the price of them while up there. They were already $90+/carton back then!

    That is insane. I never bought a carton, but I seem to remember them being around 30 bucks back when I smoked.

    Apparently partly cloudy means just half the yard will get rain o_O

    Youngest and I are going to go grab lunch. After, I need to sort through the tester pile and toss the losers (mark the recipe sheet too so I don’t forget) and move the keeper recipes to the right file

    When I switched from my usual 1-1 1/2 PAD of Doral Ultra Light 100's, to roll-your-own ciggies in mid-2012...the Doral were $58 a carton. Not only did switching cut my cost to about $24/carton, but the little morning smoker's cough I'd had for years...totally disappeared within 2 weeks. I wasn't getting all those nasty "additives" in my smokes any more. Smoked the RYO from then on, and had gotten down to 1/2 PAD when I decided to give vaping a try. It was the best thing I ever did for myself. I just wish I'd done it earlier.

    I wonder why there was such a big difference in price for cigs in Florida than there was in Missouri at that time. I'm not 100% sure cartons were 30 bucks, but I know they weren't higher than 40.

    They are about $60 a carton now. My wife still smokes. I tried giving her some simple ecigs before but she just won't give them a good try. You know I have a ton of hardware and she could have anything I have or I'd order anything she wanted if she would just give it a solid try. I always wonder if she ever tries any of mine after I go to bed. I always go to bed first since I'm getting up early for work.

    Usually, when the total price varies so much, it's because the state taxes on them are much different...not the actual cost of the smokes themselves.

    I wonder...if you could get her switched over to RYO ciggies, and those "additives" get out of her system first...if that might make a difference. I honestly don't think I could've switched to vaping and never even craved another ciggy, if I hadn't done that first.

    Well I hope you can convince her sooner rather than later.

    Lunch has been had. I'm trying my first amarulu mix with just 2 drops and white cake and bourbon. The mix is nothing special but good enough for me to vape. I need to try my second mix because right now I'm thinking just one drop of amarulu would be fine.
