    ROFL. I mixed today too, including some FranC inspired recipes (Granola Crunch and BlueBill Cheesecake) and several posted here, but Bica (avatar) wanted up on my lap desperately as I was close to the end.
    Tare, pat head, add flavor, pat head as cat winds around my feet,
    tare, pat head as cat tries to climb on lap, add flavor,
    tare, pat head and finally she curled up in a sunny spot close to me and I could finish! phew!

    Also good timing - I finished up just as DH had dinner ready :thumbs:

    Oh my. I have learned a great lesson about meds and small towns. I pulled up at my CVS at oh, 6:23 and it was CLOSED. CLOSED.

    It's Saturday night, dude! It did not even OCCUR to me that it would close before 9 pm.

    This is super unfortunate because I have NO Seroquel, and yeah Seroquel is not "addictive" but it has a discontinuation syndrome from HELL. I found this out on a camping trip with the husband when I forgot to pack the bottle. I actually MADE him drive home in the middle of the night, I was so sick.

    At the time everyone was all "yeah yeah right, special snowflake" but like nowadays, they actually WARN you not to run out. I barely realized I WAS out and called this morning but did not check like pharmacy times.

    I pulled the house apart looking for a dropped pill but Seroquel is really HEAVY I found plenty of OTHER meds including CONTROLLED substances meds which drive me BATTY because they think you are overusing them when I just can't find them. NO luck. I am sitting here waiting for like a couple benzos to kick in so I can try to eat.

    I am sure I can get though this and I am NOT looking forward to it, I'm like waiting for the benzos to kick in so I can start to eat, before I get to the puking phase. I really hope I don't get to the puking phase.

    There is literally nothing I can do, fairly soon Meredith and I will be communing over food. I went to Walmart anyway because I have a feeling half my day will be sleeping in deep gratitude once the pharmacy opens and I feel better.

    I'm trying to be chill about it. I have lots of Diazepam. Sigh. It doesn't really fix it but maybe I will pass out.

    Seroquel is not an antidepressant it is an antipsychotic.

    Also, there are no legit "meds" that will help the discontinuation syndrome, at least none anyone on the internet would admit to, so I assume more benzos will work at least as well as anything else.

    I appreciate the thought but (although my WALMART is 24 hours) I highly doubt I will be running out from some OTC meds.

    Thank you for the thought, though. I'm sure antidepressant w/d is not fun either; I would not know. Usually each new doc put me on a traditional "antidepressant" for 2-4 weeks despite my strident protests, and then pretty much would hand me a limitless bottle of Seroquel coupled with their most abject apologies. So I never got brain zaps or nothing, I would reach "nuttier than hell" within about 2 weeks, and I would TELL them but NO they ALL had to try their "pet" "bipolar" antidepressant on me. My least favorite was Zoloft. Talk about activating.

    I usually let them. The best way to get a new doctor to see me like, as bipolar and in need of their prompt attention was to usually let them get to see the "minorly manic me" and then I would ask them if they had ever played "Manic Minor" on the Commodore 64 and they would get it and be like, "Here is my after hours cell number." Or whatever.

    What kind are you looking for?
    Nothing in particular. Just some pretty ones. I checked out with the ones I posted. I have so many now but it's fun (and cheap) to pick up a few more.

    Actually, yes. Coming here reminds me I have to start sampling my mixes. I should have started Friday but I don't want to. I hate vaping crap. :)
    Ya really have to be more optimistic:)

    I really have to hope you're wrong:)
    That makes two of us.

    Biggest hurdle for me is finding a tobacco flavor I like. I don't have to love it but liking it is good enough for me because it will be used as a flavor shaper more than a main flavor. I may have to make my own NETs and I'd rather bypass that for now. What would be the ideal is if I could buy the tobacco extract from my vendor for my ADV/EDV. Get a lifetime supply. I'm curious if tobacco extracts will ultimately be banned for sale. And what will juice vendors do? Close shop forever and take their extracts and recipes with them? Share them? Sell one shots (legally)? No one is talking yet. One vendor closed up and divulged his recipes online.

    You're not going to find anything unless you start trying your mixes. So pick one and go for it. Don't worry about getting discouraged. It happened to all of us. We got by it and you can too:)

    I try one or two puffs. Enough for me to know if I hate it or it is salvageable. If not, dump it and move on. I am not going to vape crap. :(

    Who is the one that disclosed recipes?

    I have asked my fav vendor since deeming first appeared in 2016. They just smile and say nothing, as though they know something the rest of us don't know.
