My working nic base lives in the fridge; my stockpile in the freezer.

Flavors, PG, and VG are in a cupboard against an interior wall in my cool, dark bedroom. I daresay it never gets over 75 in there, and that only at the height of summer. For most of the year it's in the sixties or fifties.
Thank you I thought it should probbly be stored in a place that's cool and dark. Didt no if the flavors should go in a little drawer or something like that.? Cuz I'm just changing the computer room to a mixing room so everything Will be in that room expect the nic. It will be in the freezer and what I plan on using will be kept in the fridge. There is no kids in the house. Again thanks.

    I've got a wooden like cabinet and the drawers are about three foot long and about 4 to 5 inches high. That would be perfect for storing flavors. Thank you for letting me know about the flavors I didn't know if they should just be tossed up on a shelf or in a cool dark place or in the drawer I had no idea I just know I have about 65 of them coming and I do not want them to get ruined. Thanks again

    I store mine in the coolest place I have which is a storage chest at the end of my bed.
    I've got this wooden thing with long drawers I don't even no what to call it but I no that wood is very heavy. And should come in perfect for flavors and other diy stuff. Now just have to find a place for all the computer parts , boy this is going to be fun! Hell no it isn't but I want a room I can go to when mixing. EXPECALLY when using nic. Thanks again everyone is so helpful.
    So is there forms on here for new people like me. Like where I can go to take notes ? I no this may sound stupid but I want to have it written up on paper and tape it rite where I'll be mixing. how much nic is 3mg. I don't care if I'm mixing a10ml batch, 15ml,30ml,60ml,120ml,200ml,500 until I no the exact %, ml or drops of nic. That goes into what I mentioned above I think it's a safe way for me to start out. Could you point me in the right direction to where I can find this stuff on here or maybe I'm not doing it correctly. Thanks

    Here is a small part what I've learned after a couple months of playing around with chocolate flavors in order to come up with a milk chocolate or as close as possible.

    When I started this project I looked at online recipes to see how milk chocolate is made. I used combinations of flavors I felt matched best. I had 8 testers going using several different chocolate flavors and combinations of. All included other flavors per actual MC recipes.

    I sent a couple of what I felt were the best to @NolaMel for her opinions. We both agreed this one was the best.

    Milk Chocolate ( 10ml )

    FLV Milk Chocolate 5 drops
    VT White Chocolate 2 drops
    FLV Vanilla Custard 2 drops
    VT Milk Fresh 2 drops
    FLV Sweet Coconut 1 drop
    INW Biscuit 1 drop

    • Is it a "true" milk chocolate? No
    • Is it good? IMO yes
    • Would you make it again? Yes (I have)

    One thing I did learn with this recipe is that FLV Milk Chocolate is not a coil/wick killer like the other chocolates I used were.

    Something else I learned came after the fact by way of Matthew Topolski (Charlie Noble). Acetyl Pyrazine, Toasted Almond and Graham Cracker (clear) were key in his creating a chocolate bar tasting flavor. Or the "true chocolate taste" he was aiming for. FLV Milk Chocolate and/or INW Milk Chocolate are what he would use today.

    Next up is a test using MF Dark Chocolate. Folks I've interacted with say it's not a true dark chocolate and can be made into a convincing milk chocolate. I will know in about a month.

    Coffee might help too

    I forget who said it to me but they suggested that a bit of vanilla in chocolate helps, which I see you added

    maybe some dairy milk or condensed milk might help with milk chocolate

    @Sugar_and_Spice Can you help?

    I’m not great with math or explaining it. Hoping Sugar will help you.

    The old INW was fantastic (maybe the best chocolate out there). It was reformulated a while back and is straight up "band aid" now. I have tried it in a while so who knows if they changed it again.
    One of my favs is glamour choc by MB

    Glad you’re back :thumbs:
    Glad to be back, it was a miserable few days but it could have been much worse. We had a lot of good people come in from all over and get the job done, the guys who restored my power were all the way from Ohio.

    Still a lot of cleanup to be done but it's a lot easier when you have food to eat and air-conditioning to take breaks in.

    Health Cabin sent me the Drag II to review and should you want edification AND pictures you can visit it here:

    Say something, but do it here. If things are to be said. LOL/

    My Review of the Drag II Kit , sent by Health Cabin
    Nice review, I couldn't see the pictures but I have a Swag II in my hand at this moment so I know what it looks like :)

    I love it, great battery life compared to my other devices, tiny, the velvety coating is comfortable, loaded with features. Only two cons, screen isn't very bright and it has no stealth mode.
