Random DIY mixing and More

[Skeebo]

Ouch.

These are my first hardware purchases in close to two years. I PIF a great deal to forum members so I was lacking a lot in the backup department, especially with RTAs and RDAs.

Shortly after I ordered the Recurves the wifey messaged me... I think I am done ordering now.

Now you need to clean the entire house, fresh sheets, everything before she returns. Have her a nice meal fixed upon her arrival. Looks will only get you so far! I don't even want to know how much I've spent.

Piffing is very kind of you

I prefer to keep my head in the sand when it comes to vape purchases.

Well I finally received my refund of my 2018 taxes from redoing them and it had interest in the refund check that I wasn't expecting. That's how I justified it.

We've been together 19 years and married for 17.... Her fortitude is strong. I would have left me two months in.

I've only used cotton in it. You can either buy the fat cotton threads for it or use probably three regular threads or just cut your own.

I am reading that rayon can be used with mesh and some prefer it.

sometimes I feel I'm the only poor person in here
I've barely spent maybe $100 on vaping in the past year and that's pretty much all just diy stuff

i hardly spend any money on vaping on average....
I used to get a new mod every year for my vapaversiary but haven't really been doing that either...
pretty much since I got the aegis legend and then the profile and then got the squonk adapter because dual squonk mods are expensive.....I've been pretty happy with this set up

i've barely put a dent in my bag of muji cotton
my mesh strips last, well....forever...I burn the gunk off of them every week or two and rewick...only had 3 that I had to toss because the mesh gave out...no joke, I bought a 10pk of mesh back in march 2019, and I've still got 4 of them left...so in 1 1/2 years I've used 6 strips in 3 atties...they seem to last about 6 months before the mesh just falls apart and I get them off of ft so like $3 worth of mesh strips will last me a good long while...
now if only i'd stop splurging on diy

I would rather use a tart fruit. The additives never worked good for me.

I use tfa sour in my menthol tobacco. I know I'm weird but I like tfa sweet and tart. I haven't used it in a long time but do like it.

I bought the rainbow profile. It was my top choice, if for no other reason than that gorgeous drip tip. And it will look great on my dovpo topside squonker. I had a $10 store credit, plus another 10% coupon, so it was a great deal.

did you get the original profile or the new one?
if it's the original...
these are the mesh strips I get they are dirt cheap and last forever

No, you're not weird at all. A lot of folks use and love the additives. They've just never worked so great for me.

I bought the v1.5. I figure if it's worse than the original I'll never know since I have never tried the original. I already bought the mesh for the 1.5. But thanks! I have only ordered from FastTech like twice in my early vaping career.

There was a stipulation involved, which was we must all buy up his current inventory which mysteriously grew as the weeks went on. Everyone still came through though and cleared his shelves. He never released one recipe.

Actually, he said after the mad buying frenzy...that it didn't all sell and that was why he didn't release the recipes. He also said he put 15,000 bottles in his dumpster, instead of giving them away.

Nicoticket returning?

I forget who makes it but I have one called tart and sour I bought a long time ago.

It's made by LorAnn and is super strong. A drop or 2 goes a long way.

I know I'm weird but I like tfa sweet and tart. I haven't used it in a long time but do like it.

I agree that the TFA Sweet & Tart is a good one to mix with fruits. I know several people who use it to make their various fruity bubblegum eliquids and Starburst candy ones.

Nah,you're not the only poor person here. I've been using my stimulus money. I'm very careful with it.....LOL.

If I want to make a mix sweeter I will use a sweet flavor and if I want to make a mix tarter I will use a tart flavor. IMO using the needed flavors is more natural than using an additive.

I prefer to use as little additives as possible. One of the reasons I have yet to attempt to even add any Super Sweet to any of my liquids.

 

[Zazie]

I have never tried ahlusion juice. At least I don’t think I have. I always loved looking at their site back in the day. They had the prettiest pictures of their flavors.

I haven't, either. I'm getting the urge to order some now just so I can find out what I missed out on.

 

[Redbird11]

A little INW Rhubarb works great. A little Acai would be good also.

Both of those are on my shopping list for my next BCF order.

Hey I just noticed this thread hit the 3000 page mark.

And, the way it's been going, 4000 tomorrow!
