    Somewhere between here and there
    If the other Pur/NicRiver flavors aren't much better that will save me from making any future orders.(I dislike the bottles that won't fit in my cases......LOL)

    I think like any other brand, they have some good ones and some not as good. I think dc has tried most of them. I have several myself but haven't been using them. It seems my regular flavors keep changing as this thread progresses.

    Most of their one-shots have pretty good ratings but I only have Lemon Coconut Cream Cake and Ginger Rogers. While I love Lemon Coconut Cream Cake I don't much care for Ginger Rogers as I find it too sweet.

    IMO one-shots are great for new mixers and lazy mixers but probably not for the rest of us. Lately I've fallen into the lazy mixer group so having a couple of one-shots on hand has been convenient. :)
    I have Rose Milk that I threw in an order to hit free shipping. No shame in keeping a few on hand. Sometimes both juice inventory and available mixing time are short ;)

    I'm neither of those types of mixers...but I definitely love some of OSDIY's One Stop Flavors and One Stop Blends. Compared to me, Kim's husband Shane (who's a chef and develops all of them), has a much better sense of taste and knowledge of what flavoring combinations will produce specific tastes. I could probably try for a long time to clone them, but without success. So...instead, I have 4 of them in 16oz. size, to make eliquids for a few friends and family members, too.

    The one shots below though, aren't from a vendor. I make and use them because they're just more convenient, to me.

    I keep a 60mL "one shot" onhand, of a clone I made. It's to make the NannerBerry eliquid that a neighbor and I used to buy from a vendor for 2 years. Can make a bottle for either of us (at our different PG/VG ratios and nic mgs) in less than 5 minutes.

    About a week ago I decided to also make a good sized "one shot" for Nick's Lemon Meringue Tart. I'd already individually made and gone through (2) 30mL bottles of it myself and made (2) 10mL sample bottles for friends. Since some of the flavoring amounts in it are very small...it made more sense to me to just make enough of a one shot to make 300mL of eliquid. Good thing I did, too, as I've needed another 30mL bottle for me, a 30mL each for both friends, and sent some to an ECF friend to make 30mL herself! It's easy-peasy to do, with the one shot already mixed. My own next one will be a 50mL at least. :thumbs:

    I wanted to try a new flavor but I spent oh, about an hour and a half?? Trying to coil a tank. It wasn't my best moment, I must say.

    The apartment is clean, and like I could not fall asleep til 12 due to my IRE. The apartment complex has this teeny tiny clause (right after all the bedbug stuff.) Also, more floating stairs have died, and been replaced. It's been terrifying.

    HOWEVER, we are/were supposed to give notice of our lease ending EVEN though it has an end DATE. Now even though my husband called SEVERAL weeks ago, we have to pay another month's rent PLUS fifty DOLLARS. THE SMELL was never fixed, my clothes still live in my trunk.

    I did not have a STOVE for over a MONTH. Apart from the hot water heater it is the only APPLIANCE in here. I seriously.... Well I did not go to work. When I awoke today, I was like, "I need help."

    When I feel that way mentally I say "Better to take a sick day than like try to help people and suck. potentially to the point of something bad.

    BUT I SO want to march down there and threaten the hell out of these criminals and be like, "Hey so give me my security deposit and my lease is OVER on the LEASE end date, or I will censored censored censored call the health department and there will be a TON of evictions an you will be doing UPDATES. Or maybe bulldozing. I know that's not right. I mean, it's not fair to everyone living here..

    The leasing agent though.. She's a biker. BUT I AM TELLING YOU I could take her!!!!!!!!!!

    The husband was trying to get me to chill but he caught me at my coming down moment of well extra Adderall to clean the apartment.

    If I have not mentioned. BROWN RECLUSE BITE number three is coming along nicely. Thank god they did not like, give me steroids or anything or I'd be down there right NOW, choking out the leasing agent and threatening her family. (Also bikers, I could take them.)

    OOOOH yeh no work for me today I basically feel like a very angry version of death. Sigh.

    Oh. I am going to go. Just not today. I'm not coherent enough. I'm also going to record it.

    Who knows what will happen. I mean the leasing lady does not know my threat to call the health department is totally EMPTY. I will go when all my stuff is gone because I don't trust these folks.

    Since I had some FA flavors on my Wish List already, I partook in that ECX 30% sale. Grabbed a few more fruits, because I'm lacking in that department, too:

    White Peach by FlavourArt
    Aurora by FlavourArt
    Apricot by FlavourArt
    Passionfruit by FlavourArt
    Pear by FlavourArt
    Ry4 Tobacco by FlavourArt
    Kiwi by FlavourArt
    Madagascar (Vanilla Classic) by FlavourArt
    Marzipan by FlavourArt
    Bilberry by FlavourArt
    Vienna Cream by FlavourArt
    Candy Cane by Flavor West (I'm all out of Kringle's Curse, so I need to make a clone :) )

    Not bad for $30 (saved $8.81, but had to pay $5.53 in shipping). What I really need is a nic salts sale! :grr:

    There like every other company, they do some really really well, some ok and some just s..k. I really dont think the SBRS is a good one.

    I’m getting real low on juice. Probably the lowest amount since I started. Of course I just can’t use what I already have (>180) but absolutely NEED to wait until I get my orders from BCF and Chefs.

    Sometimes I annoy myself.

    Second coffee and one sft down. Finally got the sft of Pur Van Bourbon w/cream mixed. WooHoo.

    I'm not real big on doing sft's of creams and vanillas but I have 4-5 I've been putting off. 3 are Hangsen flavors and since I've had those quite some time I'm going to try to get those done.

    Do you “publish” your flavor testing notes?

    Well,if someone asks my opinion on one of my sft's then I give it.Other than that I generally make some comment on the one I'm currently trying. Other than that I don't "publish" my flavor notes.

    Ugh another 45 minutes "coiling" my doggy so I can taste my new flavor.

    Gosh, you'd think... even by accident? I got one leg done so I was mildly optimistic.... for a while.... THEN bad things happened, sad things, eventually my tremors got so bad I just went and took a clonidine. I hate that stuff, it makes me all loopy and out of it. Heh. Sounds just fine to me today. Especially since my duties are gonna be riding in a car, signing some stuff, and not arguing with the husband.

    Man, I am so glad I did not go to work today..... And I swear, whenever the husband is around I "stay up late" because he "misses me."

    Not Tonight.

    And, you know fixing the house is seeming sort of restful in this nice way, because my IQ seems to have dropped about 100 points. I'm gonna be all "look at this lovely dirty bathroom I get to scrub, grout, etc.

    2 more days to go. That went FAST.
