Don't worry, if you keep mixing you'll get to the point where like, you are thinking "OMG can I vape all these this YEAR?"

Also I have THE BEST Bavarian Cream that has steeped for like 9 months. LOL. I add it to things occasionally. You'll be thinking "AWESOME, 9 WEEKS until I have to DEAL with that mix" and etc.

It pains me (although now that I have premixed base, it pains me less) to have to say, "Okay, you are going to do 20 ml AND THAT IS THAT.

Because the whole 100 ml sizes are NO longer working. Not even a bit.

The crazy part is, I still want to buy more flavors. That's a separate issue I think because I have in excess of 100 of them.

Oh boy I have the same issue with buying flavors too. I’m up over 120 with another 10 coming from BCF. It really needs to stop!

I’m glad I jumped on the premix base bandwagon. For some reason just eliminating those couple of steps makes it so much easier & quicker. Probably all in my addled mind though lol!!

I haven’t even bought 100ml bottles! And I’m not going to. I have 50 ml and just order 30 ml. I’d rather have a little bit of a lot than more of one. Lmao. Does that make sense??!!!

I made 60 ml custard base in June and actually did let it steep before using it so I can do it if I try hard enough. Mixing up the base before hand is great especially for my lemon custard. I just add lemons to the base when I want that juice.

I’ve learned so much here!!

    I need to jump on the bandwagon and mix up a big bottle of nic base. I hate to break my procrastination streak though.

    I mixed up a 10 ml sample of the OOO cheesecake and juicy raspberry. I figured it was best to keep it simple and see if I like it before adding more ingredients.

    I'd never done a 10% dilution before this thread. I never thought I had a need for it. Well I guess I really didn't before that Hangsen Italian Cream came along....LOL:lol:
    Why, Fran? What percentage (undiluted) are you finding the Italian Cream working best for you?

    Seemed like a good thing to do. I have a 60ml bottle of it steeping. Haven't used any yet.
    Oh and I'm not sure at what percentage I like it yet. All my mixes and such are still steeping.I expect either 1% or 1.5%.
    So, you're doing it to get a jump on aging, vs. doing it for dilution's sake. Gotcha!:D

    umm, Fran, I think Joel was asking what percent of flavoring did you use to make the 60ml of the IC?

    Inquiring minds want to know....LOL

    @IDJoel You have any luck with your Stixx?
    Not yet. I am past the one month mark with my original Stixx testers and I remain underwhelmed.:nah: If/when I feel motivated again; I will try upping the percentage, and see if that helps at all. I'm not feeling particularly motivated. There is a bit of Dtixx discussion going on in the tobacco only thread; and I am keeping an eye on that, just to see if I can learn anything.

    For now, I don't see the value in them, and will not be making any future purchases.

    Because the whole 100 ml sizes are NO longer working. Not even a bit.

    I mix to fit 30 ml bottles, usually, 10 for sfts. If I'm mixing one of my edvs, I might mix 100, since I know I'll have at least part of a bottle from its last mixing time :)

    I haven’t even bought 100ml bottles! And I’m not going to. I have 50 ml and just order 30 ml. I’d rather have a little bit of a lot than more of one.

    :thumbs:

    Yeah, time enough for that later.

    Well,I'll soon be trying 2 INW tobaccos,1 FA tobacco and 1 FLV tobacco. Maybe I can find something I like as well or better than the Hangsens. Not that it really matters a lot....LOL. Just wanted to try some different ones.
