Random DIY mixing and More

[Bronze]

There is a thread for that on here somewhere - I can't remember where exactly. It never seemed to gain any traction. I have given away flavors to people here. It is a great idea.

It would have to be a one time event. Everyone makes a list of their duds. Then do a 1:1 exchange. Of course the volume has to make it worth the shipping. Cripes, with 450 flavors I’m guessing 300 fall in the dud category. With an exchange you at least get to look at someone elses duds. Kinda like driving around the neighborhood on a saturday when everyone has their garage doors open so you can see each other’s crap.

A few of us tried that years ago in the ecf forum PIF. It just never caught on. Not even sure that sub forum even still exists today.

Good morning flavorers! It is super early... I set my phone alarm for 6:3- but somehow my regular alarm for 5 sm. The husband was bashing me (not hard) on the side and by the time I got up and figured out what happened I was awake. This is probably for the best, I need to get back to my regular sleep schedule. Feeling blear eyed however.

Still I got all my notes done! Plus odds and ends like fixing a few tanks and rebottling some mere of my nic. Slow and stead, just 5 L to go,.

IDK if I am going to rebottle my gall on of 60 nic salts, honestly. That would require well, labelling and that type of process always seems to goo bad for me. I have labelled and dated nothing so far, they a re all in plain, amber bottles.

I could use it next, I guess. Or, could order DIFFERENT color bottles for it or something!! That could work....

I am butter mint minting today come what may. Also yoga. Also Walmart. Etc. Oh yes, must find (even if it means building) a setup worthy of my Silver Diicodes with the sleeve, but something not too much work. I am thinking Kafun lite clone, perhaps. Although they seem to be cursed for me.

Long weekends are great.

It’s closed I believe,

The reason I like having that many flavors is that I can look at most recipes and try them. Mixing out of necessity turned into mixing for fun. I might get burned out on a recipe and not use some of those flavors for a while then later go back and make it again or find a similar recipe that I’ll use them for. I’ll admit that there are some that either rarely get used at all. For example, nick evans posted a recipe on FB yesterday that sounded good to me so I checked my flavor list and have everything to make it. That made me happy. I’ve bought many flavors in order to try recipes posted here on this thread. Most of them I’ve liked and will make multiple times.

I really need to document my flavors. I’m either going to use e l r or just a spreadsheet. Anyone use a simple spreadsheet?

 

[DavidOck]

Spreadsheet for me. I do try to keep my list updated on ELR as well, although only with flavors, not amounts. Sometimes the "what can I make" there is useful, even if only for ideas. But the spreadsheet lets me also keep tabs on which slot in which polish case holds the magic bottles

RJ, I list all my flavors on ELR but I also keep a spreadsheet on all of them so I can sort the data. I tired of picking up two dozen bottles every time I needed a flavor so I have them in one of those thingies with the plastic drawers. I can get six bottles in each drawer. So each flavor has a corresponding drawer number for quick finding. With a spreadsheet you can easily sort the data alphabetically and then print out a list. No more searching for flavors. Need Raspberry (FW)...look at the sheet to find which drawer it's in. Done! And as always, for those functions in Excel where you're rusty you can quickly learn them by looking it up on You Tube. Data sorting is a snap.

Yes, I use excel. Organized by flavor name, brand, case number, and slot number in that case. It makes finding flavors very easy.

I changed the name for myself since I honestly think it has some medicinal value for nose and throat but maybe not so much for coughs. IDK If it works for you, who am I to say it isn't good for coughs.

Honey Lemon Cough Drop was the name under which you originally posted the recipe. I'll add Lemon Honey Eucalyptus for Colds to the listing as well. Now all bases are covered.

 

[FranC]

I'm behind on ELR and also behind on getting some flavors into a case. Most or all of these flavors are just restocks of stuff I don't want to run out of. I do have them on a list.

 

[FranC]

@hittman Did you get the Stixx Perique? I'm really liking the recipe I posted yesterday.

 

[stols001]

My work has its own special university, There is a class called "Using Excel" so popular, you practically have to go to the past to sign up. I have considered it. It's supposed to be really good.

Fortunately, I don't have to address it yet, as I am on a performance improvement plan for my tardiness/failure to call in on time. So like, I don't have to worry about it yet.

Unless I go back in time and improve my tardiness, and I would also hire my husband a Pharaoh set of indoors workers he could beat with a whip. It would be expensive, but so much better than this.

Damn it now I want time travel.. Guh.

The. majority of the flavors I piffed to my friend are not duds. Just too sweet for me.

I can’t do both elr and spreadsheet. That would be a full time job inputting everything. I think I’ll do elr since I want to start keeping my recipes there as well. I don’t have a flavor storage solution yet so I’m not sure how I’m going to handle that. I’m doing major house cleaning today as I’m behind. But I really want to move my vape gear cabinet upstairs in my office...too humid in the basement for long term storage. The basement is perfect for flavors though. I wouldn’t mind lining up my flavors on the bookshelf I’ll be moving downstairs to make room for my vape cabinet upstairs. I really need to get everything put away as it’s driving me crazy. Once my son leaves home I’ll have the entire office to myself for all vape stuff...a vaping room. What a dream! But I’m a few years away from that. Cats and kids are messy and I’m an older Mom and I’m having trouble keeping up with everything.

I always add orders to elr from the packing list. At least that way I can look up to see if I have a flavor even if I don’t add it to my list and put it into a case. I’ve got a box for flavors not put away yet.

 

[FranC]

Mixing did not happen this morning. I did not put my scale back in it’s box and by the time I found it I ran out of morning. Being a morning person it’s not likely to happen now........but maybe.

 

[FranC]

Kicked self in lazy .... and did both mixes. Put my scale in the box where it belongs but did not put away. I will have to remix two cheesecakes soon.

 

[FranC]

Did I even say good morning? IDK. So anyway, good afternoon random folks. Have you Any plans for the rest of this day?

 

[stols001]

Yoga. Walmart. I am getting restless in the sense that I also want to buy something which I don't need, except more rose v3 glass which I do NOT want to pay 15 bucks of shipping on.

I should just do it, I will kick myself later if I run out of glass. LOL..
