    Curious to know what you think of those one-shots. I have Chef's Lemon Coconut Cream Cake and Ginger Rogers - neither needs much of a steep. I've even shake and vaped them and they don't change much even after a couple of weeks.
    I have the three I got mixed so they will be well steeped when I get back home

    I don't have creme de menthe, I'm sure it's easy to make...I have several creams and then peppermint, spearmint and wintergreen...any ideas....

    I have TFA Creme de Menthe (a lot!), a small bottle of FW Creme de Menthe, and a small bottle of FLV Creme de Menthe (which has a definite chocolate flavor to it.) I would be happy to send you some of whichever you would like. You can have all of the FW and the FLV, and a generous amount of TFA. PM me if you are interested.

    If you want to make it, HIC says his Heart of Andes will work as Creme de Menthe in a recipe.

    You can do a Google search for the recipe. Just key in HIC Heart of Andes and it will pop up.

    This is my current ADV but I use 1.5% of all the flavors except Peppermint and add 1.5% of VTA Sweet Cream. Also, I sub INW Shisha Vanilla for the FA.

    Nail polish holders - I've been drooling over these for months, but the price to get them shipped to NZ doubles the cost. Found them today on a local site for $20 incl shipping.

    Before I go crazy and order 5, how many 10ml/15ml bottles can you fit in each slot?
    You CAN cram 3 small bottles in one slot, but it makes the doors harder to seal. I did it until I ordered more cases at first. It makes it harder to find stuff though. I do have a few two different vendors/same flavor in some slots that I use together. Honestly, I’d buy enough to get everything organized well. It just makes it so much easier. This is one of those times where organized chaos just doesn’t work. :2c:

    It would depend on what you are getting for cases but should take 2 10ml per. Slot

    If you want to make it, HIC says his Heart of Andes will work as Creme de Menthe in a recipe.

    HIC's Heart of Andes recipe: smooth vanilla-mint, like the center of Andes' Mints candy

    2% FA Peppermint
    1% FA Vanilla Bourbon (Classic will work okay, but Vanilla Bourbon's better here)
    1% FA Vienna Cream
    1% FA Fresh Cream
    1% FA Marshmallow

    Shake 'n vape! Velvety smooth immediately, with awesome vapor clouds. This can replace any Creme de Menthe flavoring, either standalone or in recipes. It's bold flavoring, so if you prefer light flavors, make this half-strength.

    This is my current ADV but I use 1.5% of all the flavors except Peppermint and add 1.5% of VTA Sweet Cream. Also, I sub INW Shisha Vanilla for the FA.
    I really do appreciate that...I've never ordered it because I didn't think I'd need it...I'm not a menthol fan, I don't mind mints sometimes...hehehe and that's what I needed it for is an Andes recipe...it called for chocolate 10% and creme de menthe 10%

    The offer stands if you want me to send you some Creme de Menthe. I will never use all that I have (TFA is my personal favorite but I have TOO much.)

    I put one of the plex 3d coils in my zenith last night and noticed an improvement in flavor almost immediately. It's a ton better than the .5 coils and noticeably better than the 1.6 coil that I've been using.

    I ordered the plex 3d coils and should be receiving them today. Anxious to try them.

    Apple recipes always sound so good but I for some reason can't stand apple forward recipes. They smell so good and then I can take a few puffs and don't want any more. I'm ok with adding apple for accents.

    I got mine a few days ago but haven't tried one yet. It's nice to have something to look forward to.

    My Z Plex 3D coils came less than five minutes after I posted that I should be receiving it today. I ordered from Vapesix that @Hillman mentioned — thank you for this. I placed my order yesterday around 1pm and received it this morning. To be fair we are both in SoCal.

    So far I am liking these coils. I find I do not have to let it sit for a long time as I usually do with the 0.5. In addition, I do not get the initial cotton taste. The big difference is the 0.5 coils can be used up to 19W and I use them at 16.7W. The Plex 3Ds goes up to 16W — oops. I started at 14W and will play around with the watts. As far as flavor at this point I cannot say for certain since I am not vaping the same juice. When it comes time to refill the other tank, I will use the Plex 3D for comparison.

    I pulled a really stupid move. I was really enjoying the plex 3d coil in my zenith and had the kroma and zenith in the side pocket of my carpenter jeans. The button on the kroma is easily pushed and I know to shut the mod off before putting it in my pocket. Evidently I forgot and smelled something sweet burning. It was my graham cracker custard. I think I ruined the coil and am going to have to clean the tank when I get home and put in a new coil.

    Interested in your thoughts on the plex coil.I have so far just bought 4 boxes of the 1.6. The one I’m using in my. Zenith is a .5 and it’s still going strong.

    I got snookered into going shoe shopping with my wife tonight but I did end up with a pair of Nike slip ons . My youngest had a friend over so we wanted to leave so they could hang out.
    Slip-ons can be nice
