Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

You all did a bad thing posting all those great comments about the WF Hazelnuts & Cream, that got me to try it.

Have bought the 30mL size and then the 4oz. size since then. But...since its been giving my OSDIY Caramel Latte (my ADV for 2+ years), a fight for its position...I broke down this time and bought the 16oz. size of H&C from BCF. Already have 16oz. of OSDIY's Lucky Shot + several 4oz. bottles of their Lotta Latte, to make the CL. I figured I wanted enough of the flavorings it takes to make my 2 most favorite eliquids for 3-4 years each, at least.

Meanwhile, probably 90% of my other 170+ flavorings just sort of sit there, waiting for me to do something with them. Yep, this rabbit hole has been travelled down now...as far as I intend to go.

Famous last words

What percentage do you use lucky shot at? I have some and tried it once but think I used too much.

I have BCF shipping!!

Me too . Now I’ll have even more flavors to forget I have. I’ve started pulling three unused flavors each time I mix. I find recipes for those before I do any remixes.

I am not buying anything at all! Like @JCinFLA, I have 150 bottles of flavors I will never use. IF the FDA cracks down on flavors, I might use these flavors to mix for my son's friends. One of them, the one most dedicated to vaping, has started using a Juul and spends about as much as he would on cigarettes. Once I move back across the country, I might use those flavors but I don't need them now.

PS - I broke down and ordered a 4-ounce bottle VT Granny Smith Apple. I used a lot of that flavor.

Always something........LOL.

That's not a bad idea but I actually don't have many unused flavors. Guess I should say I don't have many flavors I haven't tried at least once.

I have no idea is this is applicable to your situation.... but there are refillable pods that fit Juul, and can therefore use DIY e-liquid. The one I am personally aware of is made by OVNS (replacement pods). They are not rebuildable (that I am aware of); so they still need to be replaced occasionally. But, one can at least get a few refills out of them... hopefully cutting down overall expense.

Thank you so much! I will ask Nate if he knows about those. That is very helpful!

We went out to eat tonight and I got a nice surprise when I got home. My Inawera order came. The mail lady was walking up to our door as we got home. I thought it was odd that I had to sign for it.

I just saw those on sale at Vapes.com earlier when I was checkng out prices on coils for a neighbor. They have them in their Black Friday Sale section for $4 each. However, with the coupon code "hard25"...it takes another 25% off, so they're just $3 each then.

It depends on what I'm using it in. When I make my Caramel Latte, I use Lucky Shot @ 7% + Lotta Latte @ 6%. If I'm using it to make Kimberly's version of Key Lime Pie...I use Lucky Shot @ 8% + TFA Key Lime @ 4%. If I'm making just Lucky Shot, I use it @ 10%.

My reason for not going further down the hole is a little different. I regularly use 18 specific flavorings to make my own 2 ADV and 5 other recipes that are definite favorites of mine, a neighbor, and my niece. About another 25 are used in recipes I still like every now & then, but have only rarely made in the last year or so. Have maybe (15) 8mL vials or 10mL bottles of flavorings that I just don't care for at all. The rest are ones I bought to make specific recipes, but haven't tried them yet. That's why I know I'm done going down the rabbit hole. I need to at least nibble at the carrots I've already got stashed, before stashing any more.

That's a great price! My local B&M is getting $10 for the same 3-pack.

Good morning Anyone have plans for today? I have to get some wood and do a small bit of grocery shopping not in that order. Once I get all the days little jobs done I want to try one of my newer mixes. I don't have any recipes I'm real happy with so I probably won't mix anything yet.

You only save $1 and if there's shipping they would cost more. Unless the "each" means 3-pack.

Yes; "each" means 3-pack... as that is how the mfg. packs/sells them. So, that's a 60% savings (compared to my B&M at least). They are also quite light, and durable (requiring minimal padding). So, unless the reseller is gouging on shipping, I would expect you could get several packs for around a $4 shipping fee.

Therefore a great deal

I just got my Inawera package this week and I had to sign for mine too. Inawera always sends packages Registered Mail.

What did you get?

I got the shortbread, custard, shisha vanilla, and some biscuit.

My tracking never updated from the 10th so I had no idea when it was coming.
