I never really did anything with it but the talk of cookies reminded me that I have lemonade cookie.
I finally got around to inputting my flavor acquisitions from the July 4th sales into ELR... Holy crap, I've got exactly 100 total flavors (same ID as here, so take a look and tell me what I'm missing... Hahaha)! 
How the eff did that happen? LOL!
I can make a s#!&-ton of juice right out of the gate, if I wanted to.
I've got a bunch of one-shot flavorings/blends to get my DIY feet wet, while I sort liquid storage options (bottles for testers, base, finished liquids, and nicotine). I do believe that I can now start dumping any retail liquids that I simply don't like, just to re-use the bottle for DIY.
I do know that I should transfer my nicotine to amber glass for long-term storage, but I am still trying to find good sources for the best bottles for longevity/convenience of dispensing (wide neck seems to be best for nic, correct?).
BTW, the plastic nic liter bottles went directly from package to the back of the freezer (including the ziplock plastic bag it was shipped in) a few months ago, so I'm not worried about degradation yet. I've got 3 liters of VG 100mg nic on hand, but I haven't decided how small I want to break them up. Any input on the best, inexpensive options (that doesn't require me to buy a whole case of one bottle type
)?
BTW, @FranC , I did (somehow) pick up one chocolate in OSDIY's sale, that I must have seen mentioned favorably a few times: Choco Yum-Cake (OSDIY). Any experience with this as a single flavor and/or does it play well with others? Oh, and I can see where a good white chocolate can become handy to have; which is best?

Not really. long term nic storage is all about protection from air exposure (along with temp., and light control). A wider mouth has a wider (greater) surface area; and therefore, greater exposure to available oxygen. If the bottle is filled to near capacity, the reality is probably not that much different; but in theory, the advantage goes to the narrow neck.
My starting place, for glass, is always Glass Bottle Outlet. They offer single unit sales, with/or without closure(cap), and their combined cost+shipping is usually the cheapest. Use that as your baseline, and compare to other possibilities (like Amazon, or ???).Any input on the best, inexpensive options (that doesn't require me to buy a whole case of one bottle type
Sorry I can't help any with flavors from OSDIY. I never got much of anything from them.I finally got around to inputting my flavor acquisitions from the July 4th sales into ELR... Holy crap, I've got exactly 100 total flavors (same ID as here, so take a look and tell me what I'm missing... Hahaha)!

I spent some time reading the TFA thread specifically Bills Magic Vapors posts. You are correct that citric acid is used in commercial juices as a flavor preservative.
Bill recommended citric acid at less than 1% to make flavors last and “pop” especially citric flavors.
I’m going to mix ups couple of testers of lemonade and some other fruit juice and try the citric acid in both. I’m not reinventing the wheel here so I’m not going to bother with mixing a control batch without it.
I’ll report back my observations.

Glass Bottle Outlet has a amazon store and is eligible for amazon free shipping. I use 120ml amber glass Boston rounds with poly cone cap for storage.Not really. long term nic storage is all about protection from air exposure (along with temp., and light control).

I am pretty sure it's the pom that is giving it that kick. I did 3% on this bottle. I thought about either dropping it to 1% or taking it out completely.
Have you compared Amazon GBO pricing (w/ free Prime shipping); to the GBO regular website? Aren't the bottle prices inflated on Amazon to cover the "free" shipping? It has been a couple of years, since I did my own comparison, and I can't remember.
My first glass bottle order was directly from GBO. When I needed more they were goind to charge me over 20.00 for shipping for 24 120ml glass. Amazon free shipping isn't prime, if you spend 25.00 shipping is free if the product is eligible. Overall my 24 120ml from the GBO amazon store cost just over half of what I would have paid ordering direct. I can discern no difference in quality of the bottles or packaging between the two.Have you compared Amazon GBO pricing (w/ free Prime shipping); to the GBO regular website?

Maybe do 10ml pom 1% and 10ml with raspberry or a berry mix at 1%. Believe you don't have forest fruit do you?
My recipes on ELR are all private. I can post the ones I feel are successful here, on the Boozy thread, or PM. What works best for you?
No I don't have forest fruit. I have several raspberry flavors and I have a purilum that I think is called wild berry harvest.
If you are just looking to enhance the cranberry maybe just .25% of either.did you try using a little of the Pur cranberry orange in any of the testers?
In addition to the Gin and Tonic I got a back-up bottle of FLV Pink Guava and VT Chocolate Custard. I already mixed the new chocolate into my simple tobacco recipe for testing.
I don't feel so bad this time. They're offering a 1hr infusion now (same price) I'm going to think about it but so far asking around I'm leery since I already don't feel great as it speeds up.
I was thinking I need to buy a bunch of 10ml or 15ml bottles just so I can switch flavors faster and not end up with half finished bottles I've long forgotten.
Most of my sometimes vapes go 15ml.
I know when I compared honey to the actual website Amazon was cheaper and free shipping.
I don't remember who I ordered bottles from other than Amazon (and wine bottles) but shipping glass was a killer.

I did the little shake and vape peanut butter cheesecake but I added the PB to well steeped cheesecake base. I used 5% PB. Pretty tasty.If anything I'd go up on the pb a bit.
