Random DIY mixing and More

[Shadav]

$159 for a gallon at heartland.

I'll look into that, but I use salt nic and in vg

I just paid 235.00 for 2 liters of 250mg/ml at LNW.

yeah 1gal of 250mg was like almost $500, that's not gonna happen
I was debating about getting 250mg so it'd last longer but man nope, not paying that....I'll look at lnw
I usually use river as they are the cheapest but gonna have to shop around
though I may still wait a week, usually around labor day there are a few sales (and as that's my b'day I usually pick up some stuff .... well the 6th is my b'day)

A gallon? That is a big jug of nicotine!

hehehehe yes but...I'd be set for.....eh I donno....I mean I usually only order 500ml maybe once a year

Good morning. Waiting to hear about signing for closure on my house. They want me to go somewhere for notary and o/n it to them. That requires several contacts and since I have symptoms of the virus, I think that is a bad idea. I need it closed though so whatever I have to do.

check with your bank, a lot of times they offer it as a free service....otherwise if memory recalls I think fedex was the cheapest, like $8 or something....you'll just need your id with you and maybe a second form of id

Banks are good for that. They don't have a lot of in person visitors these days and they have very strict mask policies.

Banks here are closed except for drive through. Also, most won't notarize outside stuff not to do with them.

Guess they will do zoom, never used that. Where is RJ when I need her? Hopefully, my daughter can help me get through this and I hope it is closed by tomorrow.

Fingers crossed on your closing

Hello Random people. Checking in. I just completed my butterscotch sfts Thought I'd impart what I learned.

Butterscotch (FA): Medium strength. Leans toward the buttery side (vs the brown sugar side). Good flavor.
Butterscotch (FW): Medium + strength. Even heavier on the butter vs FA.
Butterscotch (FLV): The weakest of all I tried. Kind of had a nutty finish that tempered the buttery flavor.
Natural Butterscotch (FW): Medium/mild strength. Good balance between the butter and brown sugar.
Smoked Butterscotch (FLV): This one was most different versus the other butterscotch flavors. Kind of a peppery taste. Yes, a bit smokey. Wouldn't want this as a stand alone but could work in a blend.

If I had to pick just one I would pick the Natural Butterscotch (FW). It wasn't overly buttery and had a nice balance to it. Not too strong.

As part of this project I also sft'd Salted Caramel (FW). It's not a butterscotch but butterscotch and caramel can be lumped in the same category and why I wanted to try it. Wow, was I pleasantly surprised. It's not salty, but the salt is present by shaping the caramel flavor. It is not sweet. Actually kind of tastes like a light toffee. Sort of a nutty finish. It doesn't have that burnt flavor that is so common in caramel...and this is where I think the salt shapes this flavor. It takes away that deep burnt flavor of the caramel and kind of brightens it up a little. It's close enough to a salted caramel in the edible form that it is deserving to be called salted caramel. I could vape this by itself and not complain. I believe this could be a very versatile flavor that can be used in bakery, fruits, tobacco, etc.. I will be experimenting with this extensively as my next step. The butterscotch could possibly fill out this flavor. Very happy I stumbled on this flavor.

Rainy, nasty out here today. Dog is not pleased lol. I might put together a couple mixes after I clean a load of tanks I’ve been ignoring. Sadly, they’ve proven they’re not going to clean themselves

 

[Shadav]

hehehehe I've done my occasional yearly splurge...
though I still want a new mod
the only "panic" buying is the excess mesh strips (which is cool because ft does give discount on "bulk" orders) and well debating on a gal of nic....better safe than sorry....
ug and then if I do get it, where to store it....I gots no room at all in the freezer
still trying to talk myself into and rationalize the justification....I mean it's not like I won't use it...and it'd be better to have it, than not be able to get it later....and if needed can help out some fellow vapers who may not have been able to "panic" buy

I get a link in my Outlook calendar for a zoom meeting. I click the link and it takes me straight there. Sometimes I have to turn on my video and my sound. But it's pretty clear and laid out where you will see it. You can also use a phone if you don't need video. You just call the number they will provide you. If you need video, you will have to have a web cam and a microphone on your computer. I did not have either on my home computer so my work loaned me a surface that plugs into a larger monitor they also loaned me so I can see. So my dining room table is setup for my zoom meetings. I do all my other work in my home office. I've got work and vape everywhere! I suppose, but I'm not sure, they can probably send you a zoom link through email...but I've never done it that way.

You're just procrastinating is all.

Thanks. They will send the link through email and fortunately, I have a Surface so hopefully this will work out. I dread it, don't feel well and want to be done with it.

Glad you are ok. It's a very nasty storm.

Maybe you should tell me what I need. Suggestions? The only thing I MIGHT be willing to try would be a mesh tank but I want MTL.

I wish you luck Also hope you feel better really soon.

It's not hard and you will do fine. I'm happy for you!!! I was putting a bra on and makeup and everything for my zoom meetings but I stopped. Sometimes I brush my hair. Joking! I *only* brush my hair and make sure I have normal clothes on and not my PJs. I put the surface as far away as I can so they can barely see me. Working from home has ruined me...spoiled rotten! And I love it! I'm feeling great the closer I get to September 1st when I get my retirement time in. My boss is sometimes ridiculous. He called this morning with an impossible task and I told him no...not necessary and/or ask somebody else! HAHA Just a ridiculous task that is not needed and somebody has to have some common sense around here. I'm getting mouthy and voicing my opinion...FINALLY!

Well, I don't care for butterscotch to eat or vape. The Salted Caramel does sound good, unfortunately, it's a flavor I can't taste in a vape.

Good for you. Time is getting short. WooHoo.

I really don't think you're going to find a mesh tank that you like that doesn't take prebuilt coils. I like the freemax mesh coils in their different devices but I know you don't want to get into stocking different coils. The vaporesso gtx coils are good too and fit a bunch of their devices and tanks. I could be wrong but I haven't seen a MTL tank that takes mesh strips. I think they are just too low of resistance.

I still have some stimulus left plus I sold some more tools. If you think any mesh drops-ins would be good for MTL I'd be willing to look.

Vaporesso has the most device options and a good selection of mesh coils in the gtx line. My favorite is the .3 ohm mesh but it's not a mtl. They do have a 1.2 and a .8 in mesh. The gtx coils fit several of their devices. They work in the pm30, pm80, pm80se, Xiron, GTX Tank that comes with the Gen nano, and there might be more that I can't think of right now.
