    I should really try to get some more sft mixed later. I’ve been doing 10 ml sft but think I’m going to start doing 5ml.
    Mine are all 5ml.I hope to get back to those Monday. Still have a bunch to mix.

    I had started also at 10 mls but quickly dropped it down to 5 ml. 10ml is just too much imo. 5 ml is perfect.

    In cooking, a whisper of lime can brighten up blueberry beautifully. Don't know if that holds for e liquid.

    I love blackberry! Think I'm going to enjoy black currant, too. I'll find that out tomorrow.

    I like black currant too. I am going to be experimenting tomorrow and mix several versions of a Creme De Cassis.

    I've vaped all the juice I made (except for the coffee one, it still needs help)
    looks like I need to mix up a bunch of different things today
    right now decided on an apple cinnamon waffle for a nice shake n vape

    so question, I typical aim for a 80/20 vg/pg but sometimes the calculator says it can't add enough vg for desired level....does it matter or should I lower it to 75/25, this is what I usually do...

    I'm really liking these waffle vapes (ok lol except for my 2am bright idea of key lime waffle lmfao)
    Apple (TFA) 5%
    Cinnamon (diyflavorshack) 1%
    Belgian Waffle (TFA) 10%
    Maple Syrup (TFA) 2% (actually I usually split this half maple syrup and half brown sugar to get a nice syrup flavor that's not too maplely to drown out the fruit flavor)
    Marshmallow (TFA) 2%
    and then I add one drop of butter per 10ml to round out the flavor

    Long as you dont go past 20% flavoring and your nic is VG based you should be able to get 80%vg

    Hello everyone alive, well. "happy."

    OMG I only have one more move in me. This is IT. My first week I'd wake up swill coffee and vape and just gaze into space, it is all I was capable of. Man then Friday I was like "I am ALMOST back to normal" but the husband woke me at four he thinks it was kidney stones because he was ...... blood and stuff. He was like, "I think kidney stones are nothing like childbirth it didn't even come close to my NECK."

    I was like... doofus, you were hospitalized for like 18 MONTHS and you had to relearn EVERYTHING. Duh.

    Goofy dude so yah Friday was running after him getting chicken soup and whatnot. I feel asleep on the couch and we have both been very, very lethargic. Even the dog is sick.

    New team is great Douglas is great one bad apple on like every team but I am Currently Musing as to How to Remedy That.

    None of my mixes leaked in transit. That is my big eliquid news. I'm glad, cuz I am fried. Finding clean underwear is a challenge, not trying to mix right.

    I have no idea when the husband will be back in Tucson but I hope it's soon. More because... One step closer to selling the house.

    New place remains Fairly Awesome. We have tons of room to spread out ALL our boxes. I'm not sure if that's good or not.

    If it comes close to your preferred ratio, I'd just go for it.

    I'd bet that they're definitely Amber, since the pictures and the Specs both indicate that. They only have 1 case of them left, too. Yesterday morning they had several cases when I looked at them.

    If you do get them...of the choices of caps below the bottles...I'd recommend the 2nd ones shown, with the polycone liner since they're the same $.06 each as the ones with the foam liner.
    Yup, I was planning on getting those caps. Thought it was weird they're the same price as the foam-liner ones.

    I ended up order the case without waiting to hear back about the color. These are only for sfts, so I won't be storing anything in them for all that long, and all my bottles are stored in cupboards anyway.

    I also ordered a case of 30ml amber Boston rounds. Couldn't resist the deal, though it's a ridiculous number of bottles. But, who knows? Maybe I'll become an avid mixer and fill them all!
    Gotta stock up on those small bottles for sft's. As many as I have I still run low when I have a ton of flavors to do like now. Where in Maine are you,Zazie? I've been as far as Bangor.
    I lived in Bangor for ten years. Now I'm on the coast about two-and-a-half hours northeast of there.

    I like black currant too. I am going to be experimenting tomorrow and mix several versions of a Creme De Cassis.
    What are your favorite black currants? I just tested TFA, Molinberry, VT (a shisha), and Capella. I liked VT the least. Molinberry the best, with Capella a close second. All were fine, but none of them wowed me. I think I may have mixed them at too low a percentage. Plus my testing equipment isn't great: I don't know if it's my inexperience with bridgeless atomizers or what, but it's not satisfying at all to vape on them. Wish I was or knew a builder, but that's not in the cards.

    Tasting is also difficult because it amounts to chain vaping, which I don't do. Made me a little dizzy.

    FA has got to be my number one favorite — it is the only one I have ;) I do not remember ever seeing a fresh black or red currant at the stores. I have had the dried version in salads although it has been a while.

    Nope. Far too fancy for me. I'm in Lubec. The easternmost town in the US of A!
    Did you have a nice day today? Down here in southern NH we reached a beautiful 74 for the first time this year.No doubt be awhile before we see it again.
