Random DIY mixing and More

Sorry about that.
I don't want to get us banned, but I'm quite curious.
How did you find out they weren't viable?
And, how do those eggs get fertilized anyway?

The males and females mate, and I mean a lot. They'll do it all day long after they wake up from brumation (hibernation for reptiles).

When the female first lays her clutch the eggs appear almost a translucent pearl color. Within 8 hours to 2 days if they are viable the eggs will "chalk"... becoming an opaque white color. This is caused by the embryo attaching itself to the egg shell. If the embryo doesn't do that process the egg will turn a pinkish color and stay slightly translucent. One hundred percent of the time this means the eggs are not viable.

It just happens. I think it's just one of those natural selection deals.

I'm not dismissing the fact that the US has an obesity problem. I was just trying to wrap my head around so many people gaining 30lbs or more in a year or less. That just seems like it would be hard to do in that short of time.

But I guess if someone is stuck at home and not moving around much, that would help speed up the weight gain.

Well - Being insulin resistant (besides other health problems) can also put on that much weight in a short amount of time too . . . Just Sayin' . . .

I knew the third hot dog was a bad idea.

I think I just lost 15lbs reading about your 3 hotdogs. I can eat a whole pack of 8 by myself.. and then polish off a bucket of wings for dessert.

Hiya Mixers! Just read this on another thread:


Is it true in your experience? If so, I need more Kroma-Z pods. *sigh*
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Hush your mouth!!

I hope it’s longer than that! I’ve changed a couple sceptre pods since I got the first two. Kroma z are on their first. Hoping they’re like the biip. I never had to open a second pod for it.

I like a good Chicago dog. There are only so many regional hotdogs, and that's a good one.
In Toledo we have the world famous Tony Packo's Restaurant, with their Hungarian Packo Dog. It's a Hungarian Sausage style dog, with mustard, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onions, and chili sauce. But it HAS to be Cincinnati style chili sauce, no beans (good lord no), with lots of paprika flavor and a hint of cinnamon.
That's an Ohio thing. Like Skyline chili.
But Tony Packo's does it best. They make and sell their own sauce, amongst other products. Try Packo's Pickles and Peppers, or their Brittany Tomatoes.

Dodger Dogs rule!

And Pink's. That is an LA thing.

I know. I wanted to grab more, but Innokin Store stopped shipping to US...

Do you guys think it's still OK to order from HC or Sourcemore?

Oh, my FT order placed on March 11th (with all items "in stock,") seems to be lost. Ticket opened.

ETA: If I may ask, why have you changed your Sceptre coils? Something wrong with them? Leaks?

You have an interesting idea of what dessert is.

I don't see any issue with it. They show they are shipping as normal to the US.

Good morning. I ordered what was shown as a lost vape ub pro tank with 510 male threaded base from a website called Vapormo and received the order yesterday and it was just the pods with no base. I emailed them and they are being jerks and said I can send them back at my own expense for a refund. They made the mistake of telling me that they were going to change the picture on the website to avoid confusion and immediately changed the picture before I could go take a screenshot. I paid with PayPal so told them I will file a dispute if I have to. They were snotty about it and said I have no proof but I have the email with them saying they were changing it. It wasn’t a big order but am not happy how they are handling it and may contact PayPal just for spite.

Screw them. File the dispute. It sounds like they deserve some pushback from Paypal for being jerks.

My last order made it to my state! I was worried. TGIF!

That's good news. Overseas order?

I'm not sure what you meant by "si".
There are far more experienced mixers here than I. But, in my experience, if the primary flavor is unpleasant to me, then any sub flavors or enhancers don't stand a chance.

Yepo, that is what I am getting. Something tells me I could douse the flavour with super sweet and everything else lovely and sweet and that acrid flavour will still poke it's head out like a tortoise.

I don't consider custard as an "enhancer" EM is a tricky one (have only used it a few times) Seems to "mute" flavors but... I have nothing against using it by itself with unflavored base (I often use that to "flush my coils between flavors) I really don't use sweeteners, and if I did, it would be with fruits. You might try that... mixing tobaccos with fruits (or get other tobaccos) Personally, I do a mix of "nutty/caramel/vanilla" tobacco (it's a "desert" tobacco but I'm not chasing an authentic flavor) I think I have a reference to DIY (flavor) enhancers... will post it tomorrow. Oh yea... some tobaccos try to replicate actual smoke and might have "smoke flavor" (it's similar to what is used in cooking) Not saying it's bad for you, but I just don't need it. Could give an off taste. It's late... will post the enhancers/additives list soon.

Appreciate that.

I did a new sampler batch with tobaccos in the same line. This time I used some FLV sweetness, INW Cherries and Forest berries which is FA or TFA I think.

What surprised me from the batch I referred to in the quoted reply is that something like Capella super sweet didn't just add a sweet topping over the tobacco but just had a mild funky off note sweetness. I was expecting a good sugary sweetness over that tobacco at that percentage.

Nice choice.. I loved their Southbound and Suspicious Minds...



Lol I was listening to the Platters before that. It's better than Nickelback....

Suspicious Minds was nice but forced vape towards the end. I've come to learn over the years that I just can't stomach peanut butter. There is something in peanut butter that doesn't sit well with me. Half a bottle of PJ and Jam from Stash and District 69 by Drip Code went down the drain. The latter is one of the best PJs on the market and I couldn't vape it.

From Hawaii.

There has to be something going on with FT and China shipping.. I have a FT order placed Feb 27th all items in stock, not shipped until March 5th still sitting in China showing no tracking movement since March 11th... Or was yours never shipped?

I just placed a FT order this morning, so I guess I will see if there is any issue with their shipping times. My two items also showed in stock.

My last two vape orders are due for delivery today (US sites). I am done and it feels like the end of an era.
