    I never had much interest in premixing bases other than my Cheesecake bases. Tastes change and I’ve been thinking ice cream mixes could be good and therefore a good ice cream base could be helpful. Guess I’ll have a project.

    I like the idea of some good bases. Having something like a go-to ice cream or cookie base would be nice and efficient for trying new flavors.

    By the way...iVapeSupply has 40% off sitewide with coupon code CVDIVS40. I placed an order about 2PM this afternoon and got the shipment notice at 5:49PM, so...I know the stuff I ordered has already been pulled and sent.

    They still have Nautilus coils (yes, even 1.6ohm and 1.8ohm ones), quite a few Eleaf HW coils (compatible with several different tanks), a bunch of other coils, replacement glass, Gorilla LDPE 30mL bottles for dirt cheap even before the discount, a whole Clearance section that the code applies to, too....and much more! Might want to check out what they've got before someone else posts it on the Bargain Bin thread....if they haven't already!

    Oh, and all eliquids are 80% off with the code JUICE80.

    Their S/H used to be a Flat Rate...$6 for packages up to a pound, and $9.00 for all weights over that. But, I'm sure with the 40% off...he couldn't keep those S/H rates and lose even more money. I got $349.83 worth of stuff for $226.90 including S/H. So S/H wasn't that bad, especially considering the savings on the items themselves, because of the 40% off!

    ETA: Forgot this - The S/H would've been about $5-6 less if I hadn't gotten as many of the Gorilla Bottles as I did, which required sending my order in a larger box.
    Thank, JC. I grabbed 12 boxes of the nautilus coils, $10 shipping, but total was only $91. Sweet!

    I recently bought some random flavors and wanted to know what people have done with these.
    Don't know what to say... have never heard of any of those. Very interested in what you think of them. All I can tell you is I like many Purilum flavors but they are weak... most need above 5 %

    I think an ice cream base would be the go to for me. On a cookie I’d like to mix different ways. I like to test some things with yogurt but that’s a single flavor. Ice cream would be a nice change I think.

    I was just kind of using cookie as an example. Ice cream would be a good one. I also think having a good pudding and/or cream base would be nice to have, for me anyways.

    Hello, Anna!
    I mentioned this before (and me and Anna have gone back and forth... not always good but I do miss her)
    I want to thank her for the suggestion of combining peach/mango/apricot... I love it. I add some bavarian cream and really like it. Tell her vaper dude said hi ;)

    Had to look up those old Clouper mini threads on here lol! Well no actual fires but random firing on its own and overheating issue with certain batch number(s) of the preorders, had to drag out my still in the box stashed ones... not that batch but yikes! I honestly have been using one since 2015, no issues and I never have charged mine with a USB or any of my external battery mods.

    Not every single one of them did that. Just a... certain percentage. :D

    It gets rid of the cataracts and, since the natural lenses are replaced with artificial ones, it eliminates what flaws were in the originals. But the artificial lenses are imperfect, too. I did what most people do and chose lenses that gave me good distance vision but require reading glasses for any close work. Objects that are midway between the two are somewhat blurry but not so much that I need to wear glasses to see them. But I can no longer make things clearer by squinting, which is a loss, and I find that in general the replacement lenses provide a less flexible, adaptable kind of vision. As I said earlier, I would rather have my old eyes. I had to wear glasses with very thick lenses, but, with them on, I could see everything clearly. And, without them, I could still hold things really close to my eyes and see.

    I do have a pair of prescription trifocals that are supposed to support near, middle, and far distance, but they're a strain to wear because my eyes are constantly having to locate the portion of the lenses that will allow me to see what I'm trying to see. I only wear them when I go out, because I don't enjoy always having to whip out a pair of reading glasses whenever I want to see something up close.

    Don't get me wrong: I enjoy not having to wear glasses all the time anymore, and heaven knows the way I see now is miles better than it was with cataracts, but the rigidity, for lack of a better word, of my new vision is irksome. (It doesn't help, of course, that I frequently suffer from double vision because of MS, and it has also scarred the optic nerves in both my eyes.)

    Sorry for the tome, everyone.
    Thanks, that helps me understand the whole thing a bit.

    Got VT Milk Fresh

    Please report! I have to place my order soon, just in case.

    And it just hit me right now--I'll probably never place another online order and I'll never have a pay a penny for my addiction--for the rest of my life. I don't really know if it makes me happy or sad, but it's a strange feeling, to say the least. :blink:

    "I also think having a good pudding and/or cream base would be nice to have, for me anyways."
    I am absolutely loving VT pudding base (simple, rich but not too over the edge, smooth and just seems to work as a versatile "pudding") No off notes at all.
    On a side note: I have been very pleased with most VT and WF flavors I have tried :)

    Well... reality is a double bacon cheeseburger or pepperoni pizza (I doubt we were ever meant to eat such things)... and I know for a fact, we are not supposed to drink "mother's milk" from cows. Why do people get so freaked out about the thought of eating insects and worms? Do any of you actually know what's in hot dogs? You might be surprised. BTW... I am more than willing to test my theory ;) Some other cultures (countries) are appalled by what we eat... including eggs! The very thought horrifies them.
    I didn't say I was freaked out.
    I've eaten a lot of weird stuff in my years on this planet.
    All I said was I was awaiting your test of your theory about eating bugs.
    Still waiting.

    Cheaper than a carton of cigs where I am. Anyway, that's what I tell myself every time I place a ~$100 order. :sneaky:

    Thank you!!! I grabbed up some more gs air coils for my new pico baby at a great price plus a few more nautilus 1.8 just for good measure.
    Much appreciated! :wub:

    Purilum Strawberry fizzy
    Flavor Revolution West Coast Punch
    Flavor Monks Monks in Love
    Any input is welcome and appreciated, thanks
    LOL. Yes, I'd also love to hear what folks have done with Monks in Love.

    I would like to have a perfect milk to add to my tea and coffee vapes. Ice cream would be nice to. So I could easily make a black pepper ice cream with just two ingredients. It's a thing, really.
    This is HIC's recipe, but too many ingredients for me. I only do two. :vapor:

    2% FA Vienna Cream
    1% FA Black Pepper (can go as low as 0.5%)
    1% FA Custard
    1% FA Vanilla Bourbon (or your favorite FA vanilla)
    1% Fresh Cream

    Hmm... This is a nice ice cream base.
