Yep, each group of manufacturer got alphabetasized. And a label machine is on my want list. I was looking at them, then started looking at label printers - and quit while I was ahead ;)
For one batch of sfts, I entered what they were in Word, printed out the document, scissored away, and deployed the Scotch tape. Probably won't do that again, or at least only for bottles that are going to be hanging around a while. It took forever.

    What coils are you using. I put in the ones that came with it. I’m able to run the air about 2/3 open at 32 watts and get a nice vape. You could probably run dual single wire coils and close the air down quite a bit.

    I didn't use the coil that came with it and used a single coil. Only went with 20w which could be the problem. Maybe it is my old eyes but when I turn the cap, I don't see where airflow is being closed very much. Most of the honeycomb still looks open, if that makes sense. I will play with it some more.

    Do you have a magnifing device?

    You can close it all the way down. I think if I was going to try a single coil then I’d put one of my own smaller tips on it and close the airflow down to 1/4 open or so.

    I am using my very closed dt. I will check closer cause mine is definitely not closing down when I turn it.

    Self reliance is over rated I think. I could be wrong on this one, but like, I am reliant on the mailman, on the electricity people water, sewage, my bank you name it.

    When it comes to activities of daily living well YEA self reliance can feel rather good I guess. I am probably ABOUT as self reliant as I have ever been because I may suck more in some areas, but I am better in others.

    Still trying to mix my one shots! I got everying out last night and cunningly placed it where I need to do notes. That way I can like, or rather HAVE to mix before I do the note which must be Done.

    I did get all finished for APRIL. it was horrible but I did it and it required way too much Adderall for my tastes. That is why I shall be doing ALL notes today.

    My clinic is way busier than I thought it would be! Still crazy happy!

    Oooh, I am vaping a new chocolate toffee mix, it was overly strong two weeks ago. Currently (in the same tank) it's delicious. It's always good to remember how much steeping matters.

    I don't even HAVE a recipe on this one but it makes little difference.... I can't find the recipes I even HAVE.

    I have a few ADV that like, I've memorized the recipe pretty much. I am gonna steep the Chef's mixes some if I can make me do it.

    Yeah, teef better too. I was getting hives and I was like "is it the bleach or abx" but it turns out too high thyroid can do it, which I have totally been doing.

    Husband and ME 15 year ANNIVERSARY on Wed. I have NO clue how that happened. Sometime, I will post a wedding pic or two if I can even find them.

    I have no clue how we pulled it off but HAPPY!

    I have been in such a lazy slump the last few days. To get out of this slump I decided I wanted to mix some juices however they needed to use six or less flavors. It was easy to find recipes and the biggest decision was which ones. This is what I ended up mixing:

    PRY4 — four flavors
    HIC’s Mendis Coconut Brandy — three flavors
    Stixx Ruyan Custard —three flavors and
    Manner — two flavors

    It took me longer to gather up and put away everything than it did to mix these.

    And a label machine is on my want list. I was looking at them, then started looking at label printers - and quit while I was ahead ;)

    My label machine...

    Place pen (or a #2 leaded pencil) in hand, grab piece of paper, neatly print (using brain font #333:eek:) something that makes sense to me like "nilla crm" or "bscotch", cut paper to size and apply to bottles with scotch tape.

    May not be the purrrdy-est but it works for me anywho! ;)

    Whatever works for you is good:) I use a simple Brother label Maker.

    I saw a recipe that I want to try but it calls for aurora. I don’t have it. Does anyone know of something I could use instead?

    I do not know. @PJReid is the expert on Aurora. I use it in her Cranberry Gin recipe that I have mixed several times. I bought Aurora when Chefs had their 20% off anniversary sale.
