Random DIY mixing and More

Can you put it in the fridge? If not, and you live somewhere with a basement, put it there out of the light

I might be able to fit it in my fridge. I do have a basement and it has been getting quite cool lately. High in high 60s low in low 50s, high 40s. It's only going to get colder. I think it would be alright in a dark cool spot for up to a couple months. Ideally, I'd like to get this freezer asap. My garden has been very bountiful!
Winter is coming

After some thinking.. I'm going to just buy a 2.5 gallon jug of nic salts. I don't think I'll be vaping 50 mg/ml my whole life, at least I hope not. Almost 10 liters should be more than plenty. I'll seperate them into 9 1 liter glass bottles with phenolic caps, full to the brim, put the rest into 100ml glass bottles, and invest in a large chest freezer. I planned on getting one anyway for surplus frozen goods and produce from my garden. Will I be okay keeping the 2.5 gallon jug sealed and in a cool dark spot until I get the freezer?

I would think that would be fine as long as it's not a long time.

@NolaMel This is what I have so far

I don't really need any more RTAs than the 2 solid ones I've got.. but with the current climate of politics, BS, etc..

Only two?!?! You DO have spare parts, yes?

Should be fine for a while. But. DO leave a little bit of air over the nic when you make the transfer. You need to allow for the expansion/contraction so you don't wind up breaking the glass. Half inch of air should be sufficient, and won't have much oxygen.

If I ever get all this stuff organized and sorted, I can send pretty wide bore DT's to anyone who wants them. I hate wide bore tips.

Quick question RE OSF Baked Cinnamon Roll...

It's been several months since I mixed up my first batch with OSF BCR & LO CCI to what was my taste preference. At the time it was a new to me concentrate, and the recipe was right up my alley. I mixed another batch and the cinnamon seems to be quite muted this time around. I cold store my concentrates and that's never been a problem before. So curious if anyone else has seen this or if it's just this concentrate.

Thanks.

I do have spare tanks, spare o rings, and I just realized I have a clone for spare parts. I have 2 authentic Erlkönigin RTAs and one clone. They are very well made. I can't foresee anything failing with regular care and cleaning. The spare tanks I have are all SS, so no worries about busting anymore, if my polycarbonate tanks break. I've rode it out with just the 1 Erl for about 5 years until I got the clone last fall, and another authentic a couple months ago.

Good for you Wouldn't work for me because I have too many pv's going. I have some new stuff but I'm part old school.2 of my pv's are topped with tanked cartos.

I guess I'm a contradiction.. a minimalist hoarder. When the 2 solos arrive, that will bump my total number of mods to 5. 3 rtas, 3 rdas.. yet I want gallons of nic

IMO Blueberry is a weak flavor overall which is why I boost it with Bilberry. You might get the same boost from adding another blueberry??

I used 4% fw blueberry and .75 fa bilberry. Do you think I should up the bilberry or just add like 1% of another blueberry?

Can you cut it in half and try both?

Anyone have any recommendations on flavor MTL RTAs? Authentic or clone? I've always wanted a squape, but that's out of the question for now($$$$). Someone had suggested a SJMY doggystyle.

The True is a popular tank.

Do you mean use the bilberry and blueberry half each?

Split what you have mixed already into 2 equal parts. Add more bilberry to one half and more blueberry to the other half.

Over the last 4+ years I've gone through several different bottles of the OSDIY Baked Cinnamon Roll. Each batch I've made, following the same recipe each time, has tasted the same, to me. However, I just store mine in my flavoring cases in the A/C house, not in the fridge. Don't know if that makes a difference or not.

ETA: This is probably a silly question to ask you, since you've been doing DIY for years, but...did you give the flavoring bottle a good shaking before using it this time?

Anyone have any recommendations on flavor MTL RTAs?

I love the original authentic Vandy Vape Berserker MTL RTAs. They give me by far the most flavorful, smooth vapor of any RTA I've ever tried. Of the 2 sizes, I prefer the 4mL full size, but still have a large supply of both sizes in my stash.
