    @FranC how do you like the Flavorah Jammy Berry? Where did you buy yours? Yikes it’s $10.48 at BCF but $8.49 at Wizard & Gremlin. But of course Wizard doesn’t have the rest of what I want.
    I don't know if I have the jammy Berry. I'll have to look tomorrow when I get home. I checked my orders online and there is nothing from Chefs or BCF.

    It’s my own base mix I’m using. So when you mix do you just use the Base Total as listed or go into Edit then select vape Ready Base then scroll down to use that base amount?

    Sorry I keep asking the same questions over in different ways. But at least I understand about the weight difference now.

    Oh and I make me nic base assuming a 15% flavor total.
    No, I check max vg and enter nic and water as 0. This gives me the weight/volume I need to use of base. I mix by weight not that it matters in this instance. I also let elr assume my individual ingredients weight. Since it's the only calculator I use I get repeatable results.

    MY final move was yesterday. I'm not leaving here for quite a while unless they hoist me out dead with a crane or something, @FranC . The husband is here to torture me, I mean do taxes. Then he will finish emptying the Sierra Vista apartment and go to Tucson to finish the house.

    There is some unpacking to do, but I will likely do very little of that TODAY. Etc. However, I'm SO HAPPY to be here. It really is a nice place. Could stand to have a dishwasher, but eh. LOL.

    I'm glad we moved yesterday I was thinking (yesterday) "If it were Sunday night right now I would off myself." Etc.

    But, I have a couple days to adjust my schedule and I got up at five and it was/is horrible. But I really have little that I MUST do other than fixing a few vape setups. And yoga. That really does need to happen (yesterday was no Bueno) and Spanish. Etc.

    Glad you're finally getting to settle down.:)

    WOW! Fran! You're on here. I've gotta question for you. Was just getting ready to ask people here if you usually get on here while at your daughter's. Are you about ready to need more PG and/or VG...or have you got plenty?
    Well,I have plenty right now but I expect to need more. I have one gallon of PG which hasen't too much removed. My VG is in various plastic boottles in the frig. (Empty gatorade bottles and 1 empty half gallon.) No back-up to that at this point.

    Well, I received a special coupon code for $15 off a $35 order at Bulk Apothecary, that's good until midnight tonight. Just got home and found it in my emails. I've got 3 gals. of VG and 2 of PG, so I'm not going to use it. I started to think of people who might be able to use the coupon...because they make a lot of eliquids and/or those sfts you all make. Your name popped in my head first. So, would you like to use the code? I'll PM you if yes.

    I found a 10ml taste sample bottle dated Feb. 24 for a Rhubarb & Custard that I like. It is a simple recipe that can be used as an inspiration. Not sure where I got the recipe — maybe from the UK DIY recipe forum.

    0.5% INW Biscuit
    3.0% INW Rhubarb
    6.0% CAP Vanilla Custard
    Noted:)

    Ok thanks. That’s what I did after you helped me earlier.

    But can you at least see how it could be confusing? (This is where you say yes lol)

    Ok I’m totally getting it now. Played with different options and although the weight changes the volume says the same. Makes sense now. Again thanks. Now the tricky part is will I remember this next month lol!!

    Did two mixes today - 40ml which turned into 50ml after yet again over pouring VG :rolleyes: of my fave adv, and 40ml (didn't over pour this one :lol:) trialing a pur raspberry/boysenberry preserves ice cream mix.

    Ha ha! I did the same thing but I had started out only making 20mls. Ended up with 30 lol!! Glad I’m not the only one. I sometimes space out pouring the VG :cry: !!

    I mixed four flavors today. It would have been more but noticed I chose too many juices that are S&V.

    HIC’s Lime Curd Tart — I have not mixed this since last year. You can find the recipe with a Google search.
    ID10-T Mango Blossom Macaron — I have mixed this many times. To be honest I do not taste the Honeysuckle which was a disappointment for me. I tried once deleting it and even though I can not taste the honeysuckle, the recipe appeared flat so it must do something. I leave it in now.
    The White Hummingbird — First time I have mixed this so no comment at this time. The White Hummingbird
    Fizzy Lemon Sherbert — Umpteen time mixing this.

    That’s it for today.

    Can't vape cococnut and have no holy vanilla but I made note of the White Hummigbird as a use for some sweet rice.

    Somewhere between here and there
    Can you post the recipe please tia

    It isn’t my recipe. It didn’t taste like much of anything to me the first time I taste tested it. If it doesn’t the next try then I’m going to double the flavors.

    ok well i think 1 it was that coil and 2 it's me
    I tried some in a different rda and while it's still not a strong flavor it's decent
    plus the tip of my tongue is burnt so maybe not tasting well
    hopefully after it steeps the flavors are more prominent
    right now it's hints of caramel and hints of coffee grinds lol but it has a very nice mouth feel
