    I feel your pain, I have an 04 that needs ball joints and tie rods. Just normal ware parts so you kind-of know its coming sooner or later. The question to ask is, does it run well and do I like the car enough to replace the parts? Its still cheaper than a car payment.
    My daughter is in the same boat. She was planning to get a new SUV at the end of the year but now her car needs pricy work and she's thinking of trading it now.

    I've been mixing everything in 15ml bottles because there's less waste if I end up dumping and there's less chance a bottle is going to hang around for months without getting finished. Some mixes are just better if they don't sit around for too long. I do have a handful that rate a 30ml bottle and they can stand the test of time. The Bittersweet Chocolate Cheesecake I'm vaping was mixed a year ago yesterday and the Berry Shortbread was mixed 8 months ago.

    Good morning. I might do more mixing today but I have so many to vape through still.
    What I'm mixing now will go to my daughters. I'm still trying to vape though my older stuff.

    I know. I would really like to see my daughter in something else but I don’t think I can really afford to buy one for her. I could help with the down payment but she’d have to have a payment. I could do more if my youngest wasn’t getting ready to start college. I’m going to call around and check prices on getting the repair done to see if the price varies any.

    Me too. I’ve got a ton of sft to try and several recipes to try or use. I do need to mix another bottle of LMN#.

    The tie rods were done today and it’s still making noise. It’s a garage that I trust and have used for years.

    Bummer. Not that you have a trusted mechanic, but that his hands on diagnosis is probably more accurate than my long distance guess!

    I just ordered two liters from MFS with 17% off and free shipping it was $38 a liter. I don’t taste the pepper note people have mentioned. I’ve also used heartland and it was fine too.

    I was going to mix a sft of soho and seem to have lost the whole bcf order. I have the empty bottles I bought with the tobacco flavors but can’t find any of the FA tobacco flavors. Time to start digging. I added it to my flavor stash online but not on my paper list so I didn’t put it away in cases yet.

    I've used MFS nic for years. It's clear and doesn't change color with freezing. I have a 100ml bottle out for mixing and a 240ml bottle that's in the fridge, also for DIY and those are clear, too. Like you, I don't notice any signs of color change or harshness in the bottle when mixed and vaped. I have two liters broken up into 240ml bottles in a box in the freezer.

    That said, when I opened the liter bottles and looked down through the top (when new) I could detect a very faint yellow tint in bright light, but that's looking through 10 inches of liquid with some of the light passing through an opaque vendor bottle that isn't bright white. If I pour it into a glass bottle it's clear.

    I've also used EcigExpress (ECX) nic and it's clear and tasty.

    It’s totally bad timing. I honestly would like to trade it in on something newer if we can make it work.

    Adult children need to learn responsibility sometime. Let her know she has to find a job and make payments if she wants another car.

    She’s is very responsible and self motivated. She’s only been home for a few days and was working two jobs after college but her contract ended. She is definitely going to be looking for a job and has done two auditions in the past week. We’ll just have to hope her car holds on a little longer.

    Glad to hear that and good luck to her:)

    I have 3 mixed and need 2 more but I only have one right now. Not going to get done right now anyway. Gd is on her way up and we have to go to the dang birthday party. Maybe later if I can find another one. Really don't want to get the cases out for one recipe.
