Random DIY mixing and More

@Zazie THAT is something I could send you so I will I don't need an ounce of it.

It tastes like marsala wine. I think it might be too sweet for you @FranC I'm not sure. It is boozy so it offsets the sweetness some but it's more sherry than gin.

If you want, same goes with the sending you a sample to try if you would like. It's pretty good in my estimation but Marsala wine is a dessert wine, I'm thinking. It's got a distinct little bite but I'd have a hard time calling it not sweet. It could work for you at a lower percentage with some less sweet items I'm thinking? I have considered adding rhubarb, hell Ketchup that's how much of it I have but yea.

Let me know @FranC I'd be glad to send some.

After going im my vape cabinet today, I’ve come to the realization that I need to stop mixing new stuff for a while and use up what I have on hand. I only go through a few ml a day and between the three 30 ml I mixed up new and 5-10 10ml mixes, I have enough to last me quite a while. I stopped mixing 60ml batches except for my menthol tobacco. I kept having big bottles of mixes going unused.

LOL, I am not a wine drinker. Never was. That's very generous of you but I'm not sure I need any. I will let you know

 

[Zazie]

Oh heck... I'm pretty sure it was Chef's actually? I know it was in my last order and that was Chef, so I'm going to guess there, no clue who the flavor maker was but it is YUMMY.

Anna

Just checked, and you remembered correctly. It's a Chef's Choice flavor.

I think it would work beautifully in a Pimm's Cup recipe. Don't think I'd attempt a Veal Marsala mix, though. That's more up @Shadav's alley.

And thank you!

Soooo, with the FDA looming over us is everyone stocked up yet?

Soooo, you can't stop there. What does it taste like?

Uh, yummy?

Soooo, with the FDA looming over us is everyone stocked up yet?

For just over 3 years. I got that way before Aug. 8 '16. If the hammer had fallen then, I was ready. Of course, I've added a few bits and pieces of hardware since then, and a couple more liters of nic (100 mg) on ice as well. Lots of iterations of my preferred RTAs, spare parts as well. Since I only use replaceable battery mods, and strictly RTAs, no need to stock 1000 miscellaneous drop-ins.

Still time for those late to the party.

Is there another blueberry I should perhaps consider besides CAP? It's the only one I've ever used. I like it, but maybe there is a better one out there..

 

[rosesense]

I have been stocked forever. I am a hoarder when it comes to vape gear.

 

[Zazie]

I have no idea. I've been buying up a storm but have no real sense of how much I need. I do know I must buy more spare parts for RBAs and some mods, and that's a challenge in itself, because, unless they're on FT or offered by the manufacturers themselves, I don't know where to find them.

But how many mods are enough? How many RTAs/RDAs? There's the rub. I wish there were a checklist somewhere.

At least I know I'm all set for nicotine.

FW blueberry is excellent and so is HS. Dont leave out bilberry

 

[barkfunklerbunk]

My 2 RTAs are solid and should last forever, resistance wire and cotton should always be available, and the o rings needed should always be available. I have a 100 of each I ordered from oringsandmore.com My mechs are solid and built to last, although still considering getting an aegis solo or two. Flavorings and PG/VG should always be available. It's just the nic that I need to stock up on.. hopefully still available in October.

I'm still working on my cotton and wire I bought 6 years ago.

Heck, I even stocked a few telescoping mechs, a half dozen Kicks and a dozen fuses, just in case!

How many mods... That's a hard one to figure, since shelf life is an unknown. But most should weather the storage. I have some that have been in service for 6 years or so, no problems. One, in service for about 4 years, is starting to only fire intermittently, likely a button problem and thankfully a mis-fire problem and not a continuous fire. The rest of the dozen in rotation average about 4 years old, and no issues. But any electronics can fail, so backups for the backups. And having a few mechs.

RTAs, generally only the glass (if so equipped) is ever going to fail. Dropsies happen, though, and it's possible to damage the 510. So multiples of your favorite. O-rings can be sourced, and the specs on those can likely be found online.

Wick, resistance wire, flavorings don't need to be stocked. Same for PG and VG, all those items will still be around.

Yep, nic. Lots of nic. Use one of the calculators to estimate how much you'll need and get a bit more than that

 

[barkfunklerbunk]

If any of you know your o ring dimensions, I definitely recommend oringsandmore. Super cheap. I buy the buna duro 70 o rings. I think I got 100 of 3 different sizes for $13, shipping included. That will last me practically forever, and if for some reason I need more.. it's available.

TFA Blueberry Extra

Was just looking at that, I think I'll go for it.. and look into this "bilberry". For some reason it reminded me of Bilbo Baggins, which coincidentally.. I am currently reading through the Lord of the Rings for the umpteenth time

Yeah, I stocked up years ago too. Now that I've found another couple things I like I'm stocking up again. I'm getting a rent check now and plenty of time to make sure I have what I need/want. Of course, my property tax bill will be out in Nov. so I have to keep that in mind. Always a bummer in there.....LOL.I have plenty of nic so the big worry is ok now.

I think I already asked you this but are you signed up for whatever help is available for seniors for property taxes? I know when I was in Fl, I practically paid nothing. It is based on age/income. Many states have programs.
