My youngest just left. She’s going to spend the day with her boyfriend and his family. My father in law bought a new dishwasher since theirs was leaking. My wife was talking with her mother earlier and I may have to go over later to help install it. I’ve replaced ours twice since we’ve lived here and swore I’d pay for installation next time since it was a pita. My father in law didn’t want to pay for installation for some reason. I guess it’s easier to have me do it for free. I wouldn’t mind doing it if he would leave while I did. He’s very difficult to work with.
LOL. I had and replaced a leaking DW a few months ago, and watching the guys remove the old one and install the new one made me glad I didn't try doing it myself.
Good Luck

When you can't vape a flavor anymore, what happens? Does it taste terrible? Or not at all? Something else?
Yes.
LOL.
Some just began to taste unpleasant, some just got boring, some just didn't taste much at all. This has happened with both diy and premade commercial juices.
This happens less with NETs, for me.
I envy those who've had an ADV for a long time.

I don't really have an ADV either. I have a couple of mixes that I can pretty much always count on liking. But even then, I my taste buds will get burned out if I only vape the one flavor.

Good evening. I did end up going over and installed the dishwasher. However, my father in law was there when he wasn’t supposed to be. It was the total nightmare that I expected. When he installed the fake wood floor in his kitchen, he didn’t pull up the linoleum so his floor is too high. We had to pry up the kitchen counter in order to get the dishwasher in but he gave me the wrong insulation that wraps around it. It was from the old dishwasher and was too thick so I had to pull the dishwasher back out again and put the right insulation on. The feet on the dishwasher kept getting stuck on the old linoleum and it was a real pain to get in and out.

I've installed a lot of dishwashers, used to work maintenance in group homes and they didn't last long there. There was a resident in one place who used to open the door and stand on it when she got mad. She was big. She did the same to oven doors.

The one I have now has an annoying feature. If the tiniest amount of water gets to the underside of the dishwasher it triggers a sensor that is meant to detect leaks. Happens a couple of times a year like if you spill some water on the countertop and it drips down. There's a metal drip pan about 1" below the bottom of the dishwasher and water gets in that gap. Then you have to pull it out and tip it over on its side and dry it out with a hair dryer. And because the floor isn't level the back feet have to be raised up on a piece of 1/2" ply, which makes it a major pain to get back in.

No difference in taste. I can’t really say it becomes repulsive. You just lose all desire to vape that flavor and your taste buds put the brakes on. Best I can do.

I know that feeling. I loved Earl Grey for years then I just stopped liking it. Same with Chef's English Trifle and banana flavors. More often I just use some flavors less or more for a while but never stop using them. The only one I never had a hard time with is Creme De Menthe.

Good morning. Not really. My side hurts from yesterday and we are getting our first snow which will make for a long drive to work. It’s not going to be a good day I’m sure.
I heard from some family I have in your area that you were getting snow today. Hope it is not too much.

Oh well. Placed a BCF order not long ago with the TFA Pistachio.
Thanks though.
Maybe just make small batches of whatever you are making and check and see if you get the soapy note. I do not. However I am anxious to try the FW Pistachio since I always look for, and try recipes with Pistachio in them. I will probably jut order some from BCF because they are pretty fair with shipping prices and small orders.

    Yes, it was snowing on the way to work this morning. The forecast said 1-3 inches but the roads were just wet this morning while it was snowing. Luckily the below freezing temps aren't going to last and we'll be above freezing tomorrow.


    I am sorry, I do not always read back in this thread so I do not know if anyone answered me on whether or not they made the Gingerbread ICS?

    I haven't made it but if you want to post it then I'll mix it to try if I have all the flavors.

    Good morning random folks :)Have you any plans today?
    Morning. Well besides work stuff, I am getting my BCF order today. I have spent a good amount of time trying to find some decent 120ml and 30ml plastic bottles on Amazon as well. I can't really tell which ones are good. If anyone has any recommendations, I would appreciate it.

    How about you @FranC? What do you have going on today?

    Morning, mixers, and good luck on the week!

    Temps kept above freezing overnight. Barely. Did get all the hoses and such winterized, yeah, it's that time. :facepalm:

    Flavor "burn-out" is why I have a dozen mods going. Yes, I do have about half of those with "regulars", the others rotate with the new and different. So never a dull moment, just grab a different mod.

    Not Amazon, but I like these for the 30 ml size.

    $1.85 Empty Square Dropper Bottle for E-liquid (5-Pack / 30ml) 5-pack - PE at FastTech - Free Shipping

    Looks like we're on for the town run. Trying to guess what the next hoardiing item will be... :cry:

    Sorry I can’t help on the bottles. I use all glass now that I finally have enough. I might use a small plastic for an sft though. It’s just my preference.

    My plan was to mix more nic base (nic,pg,vg). I had 3 empty 120ml bottles. I got that done already.
