Do you know of any other flavors off hand like that? Flavors like vanilla , watermelon, etc. or is that too general of a question?
I’ve decided to shell out over $12 for the FLV Alpine strawberry. I read or heard that even for those that normally can’t taste strawberry will be able to taste this concentrate.

Has anyone tried it?

I haven’t tried it but I look forward to your opinion on it. I love strawberry and was curious about FLV alpine strawberry’s flavor and if it indeed is stronger thus allowing for low % usage.

I can’t think of any off hand. But if I come across some I’ll post here.

Where do you think I could buy some in reasonable quantities? Not 1000+ or something

I think I got my Boston’s Round glass bottles at My Freedom vapes and a few smaller ones at Amazon. I was able to specify the number of items I wished to purchase.

I lied I actually had to buy 12 of the bottles but that didn’t matter because I’ve used all of them for nic

ok so i signed up on elr, put in the names of flavorings i have and it only spit 2 things that I could make out at me :grr: what's up with that

Thats bizarre! How many flavors do you have. Even a few concentrates should get more than 2 mixes

It really is deep. Jeesh I thought I was done.
It doesn’t help knowing flavors have a pretty long shelf life if stored properly. Makes it easy for me to justify that I’ll actually use it! I have WAY too many flavorings that are unopened

@ChelsB - About this: "I once bought a bag of phenolic caps off of amazon for a reasonable price...."

You want the phenolic caps with polycone liners for use on your nic base glass bottles. There are other caps called phenolic, too, that don't have the polycone liners.

As IDJoel said, Glass Bottle Outlet and Packaging Options Direct both carry them at decent prices. I've regularly bought the caps and bottles from both of those places. You do definitely need to know the specifics of the caps you need though, if you're not buying the bottles at the same time. The cap size and threading is determined by the bottle neck size and the threading pattern on the bottles you'll use them on.

    I can go either way — the 3D or the Plexus 0.5. I let price make the decision for me. I used a new vendor for the 3D so I hope there will be no issues. Price was $8.95/box of five and then I had a 15% off code.
    I haven't decided yet but I think my favs will end up being the .8 and 1.6.

    I’m waiting for the smoker to heat up so I can get the pork shoulders on. After that I’m going to break into my chefs order and mix the zing recipe. It sure is nice not being at work today even with rain in the forecast.

    Ugh... I hadn’t thought about the blooming truck. We’ve had highs in the 90’s, nights mid 70’s. Although my mail is usually at the door by 11am at the latest. Think it’ll still be too hot for flavors??

    Although you've already received some good advice in regards to your question, I wanted to respond as well.

    As @IDJoel mentioned, heat is much more problematic with Nic than flavors however, that said, I live just north of Hades ( summer temperature wise anyway, lol ) so heat can impact flavors too, at least in my experience. I made the mistake of ordering some refills in August one year and I recall distinctly that the Bavarian Cream I purchased had almost no flavor while others seemed quite a bit less potent.

    Of course I could have just received a bad ( old ) Bavarian Cream and my subconscious went to work on the rest however I do believe there is a valid reason that manufacturers recommend storing your flavors in a cool dark place.

    Long story short, I think you will most likely be fine. My experience however has made me wary of ordering flavoring and/or Nic anytime the temperatures are expected to exceed 90 degrees. I should add that I'm not usually able to retrieve my mail immediately so it often sits in my mailbox for several hours. You would have a significant advantage there I believe. :)

    oh and bcf's VU6 code for 6% discount still works (maybe if I wait til this weekend they'll have something better) still waiting on nicriv to have a coupon code....

    As you mentioned, some sfts may be a good way to start.

    I mix a lot with dragonfruit. Maybe a dragonfruit, guava and strawberry mix? Try around 3% of each for starters, depending on brand and relative strength? Should be a good shake and vape.

    I got the zing mixed and loaded a tank. It’s pretty good snv. I’ll be curious to see how it develops. I also mixed the strawberry and cream recipe someone posted earlier. I thought about bumping up the strawberry but didn’t.

    If they are, $6.10 for 0.8 or 1.6 ohm @ KangerWholesaleUSA.com

    If you order 10 boxes...the little additional 10% off message will pop up. That'll make them $5.49/box before S/H. The FREE S/H applies if/when you have 13 boxes in your cart.
