    I'm beginning to think, at least for me, that less is more. I've started to reduce my recipes by 20/25% and seem to get better flavor. This after 6 years of vaping.
    Yup,I did the same.

    I got my master flavor list finished and discovered that I have the same flavor in different cases. I’ve also got 30ml bottles and some tall 15ml bottles that won’t fit in the polish cases that aren’t on my master list. I need to transfer some to 10ml bottles and incorporate them into cases. This is like the never ending project.
    It is:(

    I wish I made labels like that, they are awesome. To all of you categorizing your flavor organizers, I hate to make it feel good, but it appears to me that POSSIBLY my "store in random boxes in the fridge" is an equally good solution. I mean, there is probably SOME flavor amountage where that is not going to work but for now it appears that the "just get them out and look" method is fine. LOL.

    I am not mixing today. I never cook while angry, and I'm assuming the "fire and brimstone" thoughts involved would mean a sort of "fire and brimstone effect."

    I did promise the husband I would make spaghetti but that's because he's being a whiny little (censored.) I did ALL the dishes while he went outside and sulked with the doc. He says my back doesn't hurt more than his neck.

    I have no idea why he would KNOW that and he's had like over 25 years to ADJUST to his back. To be fair, his injury is probably WORSE but ACUTE back pain is also the suck. I really wanted to smoke.... some things... But I bet I get drug tested the moment I get back. It would not shock me even the TINIEST bit. So, I suffered. He gets to use that stuff as pain management all the time (again, I'M SO HAPPY for him, etc, I mean it works) but like I AM SUFFERING!!!!!!

    LOL that is a long way to say my mood has improved but only a touch.

    Happy mixing mixers. Yeah. You could shove tape on those labels. But anyone who makes those kind of dainty delightful labels is also the type of person who never spills a drop of eliquid. I'm just saying.

    @stols001 I just used Avery.com like others here suggested they give you the template, make sure that it matches the labels you buy, you can use their templates or a blank one and add text, pics, even a barcode or QR code which I really like, I'll be using that on bottles I sell

    Good to hear you are getting better every day. Always takes time.

    I did a search on this thread for the 5Star Custard and could not find it. Can you please provide.
    Sure, it’s from Nick Bean Binding & got really great feedback from other well known mixers.

    I've got an order ready to go at nicotine river - it's boring, mainly restocks, and flavours I can't get in NZ.

    Do they normally have a Father's Day sale? Or should I just pop it through?
    NR only has MF and maybe MB on sale 20% off.

    I somehow messed up and made something very tasty, finally! I started experimenting with this recipe after enjoying Soho from FA mixed with FA coconut. I figured I could add some ingredients, perhaps coming close to something along the lines of Castle Long.

    I mixed it at 35/65 for a mtl style vape. The percentage for Soho does seem very high, however if one is familiar with this tobacco you'll know it's needed. When I vape it as a standalone I have to mix it at 13% to get it to my liking.

    Here's the recipe:
    Brown Sugar TPA 1%
    Coconut (coco) FA 1.2%
    Madagascar Vanilla FW 1%
    Kentucky Bourbon TPA 2.5%
    Shisha Vanilla INW 0.5%
    Soho 12%

    The brown sugar adds just enough sweetness to the mix. Coconut is not overpowering at this percentage and gives just a hint here and there. The vanillas add more body to the bourbon, which is perfect and not overpowering the mix at this percentage. I've steeped this two weeks, but I it should get better with more time.

    Awesome - some of my 'stuff ups' have been my faves too ;) That's the fun of DIY
