    With the talk of commercial juice, it reminded me that I have some I got on a special that Fran told me about to get free shipping on something. Anyway, I’m probably never going to use it. Any suggestions on what to do with it?

    I have plenty of tanks both MTL and subohm so no worries there. I even have the eGoOne along with a few boxes of coils. Was never my favorite though. I have enough coils for the subohm tanks which of course I do not use often. I do need to stockpile coils for the MTL tanks.

    Mods I should be OK with too as I have a number of asMODus, a couple of Dicodes, XvoStick plus ProVaris and some others. I did sell several ProVaris late last year sometime — hope I do not regret this down the road. Got rid of all my Picos (I do not miss these) plus a few miscellaneous ones last year.
    I have a lifetime supply of cotton,rayon and wire.I also have another lifetime supply of pre-made coils from ft. Problem with that is I don't use my sub-ohm tanks much anymore.I seem to have lost my patience with winding coils.There is something to be said about the drop-in Zenith coils that last so long.........I have plenty of mods also,I just worry too much. It's really aggravates me cause my younger self didn't worry about anything. I have no provaris at all,simply because I didn't like them.To each his own.

    I had a provari, but I really didn't like it. It was way too clunky for me. Sold it and got 3 mechs instead. The provari was a huge step up from my paperweight innokin mvp2 though. To each his or her own though, many people have and love them still.

    I predict nicotine will go the way it does in a few other countries. They will classifie it as a drug and you will need a prescription to get it. Think what that will cost? Just think about how its been going the past couple of years and how the talking is twisting it into a drug. Part of the plan from the beginning maybe

    The eGO-T (I think it was the T) was the first vape pen I had. Worked fine with the CE tanks. Shortly thereafter when i started using cartos and Kayfuns I needed something else. Got a few mechanicals and one Provari — actually two. I purchased one back in Oct. 2013 and it was truly a stealth version that was made by ProVari however not sold by ProVari at the time. It was sold by a company called Vapor Force out of WA and was designed for military people and thus the stealthiness. I don’t remember at what point ProVari added it to their line up but it was just a little less stealth then the original. I made the stupid mistake of selling it to someone who wanted it although later replaced it with the version ProVari was selling. The other ProVari I bought was in Sep. of 2013 and it is still going strong as well as all the others. They are truly a well built PV. This is not to say they are faultless.

    I am glad to be rid of the Egos and mechanicals. The ProVaris have done me well. i never found them nor did the thought of being clunky ever cross my mind. The choices were very slim back then and of course I did not know about online vendors.

    Any thoughts on fruit to add to cheesecake? Except lemon, peach,strawberry and blueberry. I need a flavor I’m not currently using. Forest or harvest fruit maybe?
    I can't really think of much that wont go with cheesecake.:D

    Tropicals come to mind... coconut, passion fruit, mango, papaya, kiwi, acai, and/or guava (though not the real acidic types like FLV), all sound good to me. I am not sure about pineapple or banana though; but maybe as part of a tropical fruit blend?:confused:

    Any berries seem like a no-brainer. Huckleberry, boysenberry, currant/black currant, raspberry, lingonberry, blackberry. And, of course, any of the mixed berry blends (Forest Fruit, Mixed Berry, etc.)

    Stone fruits; like plum, apricot, nectarine, all sound intriguing to me. Cherry could be good too... if you can find a good cherry concentrate to start with.

    Pear or fig might have potential. However, they may need to partner up to shine. A caramelized pear, or a boozy fig, could work.

    Rhubarb or pomegranate might work if the tart/acidic notes can be controlled.

    I don't know much about exotics; but maybe lychee, starfruit, jack fruit, or yangmei berry/yumberry could work. A lot of these run sweet, and may need an additional "tart" note, to balance it with the cheesecake.

    Apples, melons, and citruses; for whatever reason, aren't sounding "right" to me.

    Darn it, @NolaMel! I thought I was done with cheesecake. But, some of these are motivating me again.:facepalm:

    While brainstorming, I even started thinking; certain nuts, or even a light tobacco note, to bring a fresh face to a tired base. We'll see if I can maintain my sloth-like inactivity. :D

    VaporDNA won't ship to Maine, South Dakota, and Utah. I checked a few sites that I frequent and most don't list states they won't ship to. Many states require the vendor to have a license to do business in that state. Maybe some online retailers have applied and gotten those if the expense was not exorbitant. Some probably just ignore the laws and take their chances. IDK

    I would be happy to purchase the items you want from VaporDNA and then ship them along to you.
    That is awfully nice of you, but I think I'll take advantage of this opportunity to show some r estraint. I so rarely do these days.

    I had one too. Bought a new purple mini provari. I really did try to like it but that didn't work. I just didn't like the feel of it.I sold it on the classy's in the 1st 10 minutes.

    Good news, I have about 230 ml of cheesecake base left :lol:! Star fruit sounds good too. I added some pear and custard to Ella’s butterscotch shortbread biscuit. That worked nicely, otherwise I’d definitely go for a caramel/pear cheesecake! Toooooo many choices!

    The ProVaris I sold last year I had used for several years and was surprised at how well the value held up. The person wanted to buy more but I decided to put an end to it as it was never my intent to sell. I am so grateful for the variety of choices we have compared to others. I always say — everything about vaping is subjective.

    @FranC — I just saw this recipe on ATF. I will more than likely try it when the weather gets warmer and possibly use FLV Watermelon. I did watch the video that is linked in the recipe to get an idea of what they were after. Use as an inspiration as I know there are flavors in it that you do not like namely lime.

    I was looking at my shopping list. In addition to flavors, I will watch for a good sale on coils and possibly a few batteries and who knows what else. I did get the 18650s I ordered today from one of the first Memorial Day sale by IMR Batteries. Their Memorial Day sale is good till May 27 at 11:59 pm CST. My flavor order from ECX that I placed on May 19 shipped today.
