I have 30ml bottles and I think they came from FJ but not sure.

I just took a look at FJ. The picture shows a 30ml bottle but they only sell 10ml bottles. The size button doesn't give you other options.

Did some googling. FJ is the only place that sells Flavor Express. I seem to recall someone saying FE is their house brand.

Found another odd Gooseberry at Nature's Flavors. It says in the description no Diacetyl which suggests it's aimed at vapers. I don't think diacetyl is a problem for edibles.

But the ingredient list says:

Organic Concentrates Contain: Water, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Gum Acacia, Natural Flavors, and Organic Citric Acid

Cane sugar and gum acacia don't sound right for vaping. No PG either. And of course the site doesn't mention vaping so you have to guess.

Labeling is odd sometimes. Back in the 70's I found a child's eraser on the sidewalk. It was shaped like a whale, and on the back it said "whale oil free". Maybe back in a previous century erasers were made out of whale oil.

    If not FJ then it has to be NomNomz or Chefs.

    The following post by Flowerpots has very extensive notes on using NF Gooseberry. Maybe you'll find it helpful. My DIY Diary

    When I first got my dvarws I dumped a couple tanks due to not having the holes completely covered and that scared me away from the bunny ear method. Really glad I finally decided to try it.
    I just smoosh (advanced technical term) the tails down and then look at the outsides of the juice holes to make sure they are fully covered with cotton. Then adjust with a small screwdriver or paperclip as needed.

    I've done two with no adjustment needed. I'm going to rewick the three with new coils tomorrow.

    I smoosh the same way, while watching the holes. After together I checked the holes again.

    Sorry for the late reply. I did order some after you mentioned it...thanks. I ordered a creamy hazelnut.

    Flavor West Hazelnut has a definite creamy sweetness to it, may be a bit toasty. I enjoy it as a stand alone flavor, as well.

    Hope its a toasted one....raw nuts are a bit boring, but the woman folk might disagree :cool:

    I bunnyeared 2 used coils. Tomorrow I’ll bunnyear 3 new coils. Plus I have one more wicked thru the holes that I’m going to try as is because it’s been sitting for awhile. That’s 6 coils. Thought I had 7, will have to looky.

    I have 8 loaded PVs in front of me. :thumb: Just went to reach for one and my right hand did one of those freakout things as in "I don't know which one to grab, help me". I could hear the despair in it's voice. Thank goodness my left hand immediately knew how to rectify this unusual conundrum. :lol: :lol:

    Somewhere between here and there
    I finally got everything set up. Not without having to call Google twice. It was a bit of a pain. Now to see if the wife can get used to it. I set up one of the included chromecast devices on the living room tv. The remote is kind of small but does everything you need to do. The bedroom tv doesn’t need one since it has fire tv built in. The one in the living room is old and isn’t even a smart tv. I had been using a roku on it.

    Shame on you for having a dumb TV.
