Pilot G2 pens have been ordered, took two sets 0.5mm, and one 24 set with Pilot juice 0.38mm. And, brought G2 Neon colors with me.
With shipping, customs, it came to 100$. Should be with me in mid-April.

Tomorrow I will order 100ml stem bottles for Nic, the same ones I bought last time, + measuring cylinders and glass funnels.

When I first started mixing I bought a bunch of stuff. Couldn't live without the measuring cylinders, it's all I use for mixing. Got a bunch of assorted funnels, including a tiny glass one. The funnels are in a cardboard box in the attic along with loads of other stuff I bought and never use. The liquids we use are a bit too thick for funnels in my experience. Plus if you try to use a funnel in a glass bottle it seals itself on the top of the bottle and cuts off the airflow so nothing moves. Unless you have three hands, one to hold the bottle steady, one to hold the funnel up a bit from the top of the bottle, and one to pour. Then you put too much liquid in the funnel and it fills up the bottle then floods your table.

I'm only going to have two funnels, if they can't be used for this the wife will get them.
The glass measuring cylinders are from 10ml to 1000ml. They are so cheap that I consider them a success already.

I mostly use weight, but it is optimal for small amounts, I see the cylinders as ideal for mixing nic shoots.

    I found I had the same issue with some metal funnels. I solved it by putting the stem of the funnel through the end of a paperclip before putting it into the bottle. The paperclip stops it from making a seal.

    I ordered some 50ml bottles that are plastic and didn’t know until I received them that a bunch of little plastic funnels came with them. I’ve had a couple times where they seal in the bottle like you said but most times they are fine. The only problem is when I add vg then I have to pour slowly.

    I got my squonker a couple days ago and haven’t even taken it out of it’s box. Not ready yet.
    Good morning, Fran!

    I picked up a Vandy Vape Pulse BF 80 last year since it was marked down but also haven't used it yet.
    I did take it out and tested to make sure it fired up though.

    I got a really good price on the Centaurus Quest BF that sits in it’s box. Yes, I should take it out and make sure it fires up.

    I’m still not convinced I want to squonk but now I have no excuse not to. I have a squonker, at least one RDA and a few RDTA’s. Someday……..
    I ran the Helheim with the squonk pin on one of my Centaurus BF's for quite a while. You can squonk and fill the tank and don't have to squonk again for a long time. If you fill the tank and the bottle to begin with then it lasts a long time before you need to refill.
