Oh wow!
I don't understand how you can go 6m without leaving your house, and see virtually nobody.
Unless you're a zen Buddhist monk, I don't see how you can manage that sanely.
I think I'm still compos mentis, but I'll let you all be the judge.

That's a BIG bottle.
I'd love to know what flavors folks like enough to order that big a bottle. That would be useful feedback.

TFA: Strawberry Ripe, DX Sweet Cream, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, Vanilla Swirl, Cheesecake Graham Crust, Sweet & Tart, Peach, Watermelon, DX Graham Cracker, Sweetener, DX Bavarian Cream, DX Banana Cream, DX Coconut, DX Coconut Candy, Bubblegum

FA: Cookie, Lemon Sicily
CAP: Sweet Strawberry
VT: Lemon Meringue Tart
WF: Hazelnuts & Cream, Flapper Pie, Chocolate Chunks
OSDIY: Lucky Shot, Lotta Latte, Mexican Fried Ice Cream, Baked Cinnamon Roll

I buy some of the above in the 16oz. size instead though. I explain why below.

Every month and a half or so I make a friend a 500ml bottle of Rainbow Candy FW mixed at 10%. That's 50mls of flavoring per bottle.

Since you use 50mLs every month + 1/2, you might want to consider buying the 16oz. bottle of it from BCF. You could make 9.6 of the 500mL batches with it. The 4oz. bottle is $7.99 versus getting 4 times as much for $25.99. To get (4) 4 oz. = $31.96 + shipping each time. Both sizes have the Bulk/Restricted Shipping characteristic, so getting the 4oz. 1 at a time doesn't help avoid that. The 16oz. is an even better deal when BCF has 1 of their 15-20% off sales!

I buy the 16oz. of several flavorings that BCF and OSDIY carry, because of the savings and because they "keep" a long time with no problem at all. When a few friends who also really like them need some...I pass it along to them at the much lower cost I paid per ounce, by buying the 16oz. size.

    So folks, I just finalized my Bull City order a few minutes ago. 22 new flavors added (well 21, plus rebuy). Many of these flavors are ones that seemed to be used quite a bit by you fine people. I can't wait to try mixing some killer new recipes!
    That’s great :thumbs:

    That makes a lot of sense to buy the 16oz if you mix in bulk like that. Especially if the flavors stay fresh tasting for a long time.

    I kind of forgot about OSDIY. I was meaning to check them out. I know some folks on here really like a few of their flavorings. If I recall, they have a blueberry flavor that gets high praise.

    I am surprised some in here do not like U2, they seem so easy to listen to (to me) I like older rock such as Traffic, Steely Dan and a few others, I like REM. I also like some newer things and all things Red Hot Chili Peppers. I walk a lot and use Pandora and tune it to RHCP station.

    I listen to Traffic and Wishbone Ash when I'm driving.

    I purchased some that you are a big fan of, such as Mascarpone, Acai, Rhubarb, and Bilberry. Also grabbed two pudding flavors (Pudding Base VTA and Vanilla Pudding). Plus, now I will finally have the Biscuit flavor everyone seems to use. Also grabbed some a custard and NY cheesecake, and several fruits.

    Good morning random folks :)Have you any plans today?

    I'm still working on my cloudy Lemon Cake problem.

    I tried it with both the old and new bottles of flavoring. They are both cloudy so I guess it's not a bad bottle. After a few days they go clear but if I shake them even just a little they get cloudy again. I tried sitting a clear bottle in warm water. When it got warmed up I could see strands of cloudiness starting to appear.

    Today I'm planning to make some with straight PG instead of base. Then with VG. I just made a large batch of base before I did the LC solo mix so I want to eliminate the base as the problem.

    I wouldn't bother except that the blueberry LC mix I made looks clear in the dropper glass, but I want to try that in the small clear glass bottle. Plus yours didn't go cloudy. For some reason it's bugging me and I want to figure it out.

    Morning, all.

    A brisk 33 atm, guess it's time to put away the sandals. :)

    Lots of "classic" rock here, and country music. Like Bach, Beethoven, Tchaikowsky. Heh, OLD country ;)

    It would bug me too.

    Plans for today -

    Going out of town to see the 2 newbies who are both doing well with vaping, and smoking less, in only a week. I had both start with just a little LinCig Hypnos pod starter kit for free, to see if they even liked vaping. Also took them each 3 sample DIY eliquids they might like, based on their general flavor preferences and a nic mg I thought might work for them.

    The lady test vaped and really liked all 3 of hers and the pod kit. She had me make 30mL of each when I was there last Wednesday. She's now down to 1/2PAD from 1PAD. So she wants more set-ups...some for home and for work.

    The guy, (who owns the shop where they both work) has been a 2+PAD smoker for many years. He's already down to 8 ciggies a day! He liked all 3 samples, but loved the White Coffee especially. He wants a 50mL bottle of it and some more set-ups, too. He's really liking vaping, especially since his wife loves the smell, and he doesn't need to go outside to vape...like he does when he smokes.

    So...vaping and getting off the smokes looks promising for both of them so far. :thumbs:

    Well done! Although it took me a while to realize what PAD meant. Glad you are able to help get them on the road to vaping instead of smoking.
