Yikes. Just doubled my RS cart, reasoning that I may never again be able to get Medicine Flower flavors at such a discount. It's a toss-up whether I complete the purchase, though.
Thought about looking at Medicine Flowers, but I have never looked before and did not want to get hooked on some of their flavors and then have to pay more for them later. Can't miss what I never had. ......my story and sticking to it,,.. LOL

I personally haven't found the MF flavors special enough to spend so much money on. Some of the flavors are very good but other folks have very good flavors much cheaper. I tried to move the items in my BCF to RS but had no luck so just gave up the idea.
Funny you should mention that, I had my BCF wish list open in another window and picked up what I could at RS and then just deleted them on my wishlist. I did pick up some more of the Purilum Raspberry, Mango, Boysenberry and B. Preserves along with PUR cheese cakes(both of them). Those flavors were the main reason I even shopped there. The other flavoring being half price also is just a bonus.

Shocking news. Makes me wonder about the future of flavors.
There will always be flavors available. I suppose Gov idjits could crack down on DIY if they wanted to. However there are some huge flavor companies that don't see much use in DIY that can be used, easily. Those companies are pretty big in the flavor industry. I have been looking into those for almost a year. I am planning on placing orders with some, just in case. For the immediate future I'm not too concerned as my flavor stash is pretty well set with the big bottles of the flavors I use most often.

    To be honest, I was pretty gun-shy about trying coffee vapes again. I'm taking the cautious approach because now that I can vape coffees again I don't want to overdo it this time. Having many other juices in rotation helps.

    I overdid it with peach vapes a few years ago. Now I can finally vape those again but the total % of peach combinations cannot exceed 1-1.5% or they taste astringent to me. As long as I keep them below 1.5% I'm good to go.

    I am totally stoked about being able to vape both again. :)

    I have the peach thing too but I haven't tried it again yet. Lemon and Lime were another 2 I burnt out on. I'm good to vape lemon again but I don't expect to ever vape lime again. I'm happy to have the lemon and coffee back. I really don't care that much about getting peach back but I'll give it a shot.

    I haven't caught up with posts but River Supply has a HALF PRICE SALE ON EVERYTHING

    Stuff dropped out of my cart before I paid so it's get it now if you want it


    FYI
    I could have sworn my cart had 33 items in it when I hit the cart button to check out, but ended up with only 31. Thought about trying to figure out which ones then decided it wasn't worth the effort. Anyway since I used by BCF wishlist as a guide, if I lost 2 they are still at BCF. Gawd I have go to stop spending.....my card is on its last leg. LOL

    Oh yeah for sure. All the biggies have their own websites that ordinary folks can shop at. The beauty of sites like BCF, RS etc is they have all the biggies together and it makes it more shopping friendly to us, plus shipping is condensed.
    We will never be without flavorings, we just may have to shop more places for the stuff we want.

    I was going to pick up a couple MF flavors and a few other things but everything else was just stuff I was going to buy because it was cheap and already have bigger bottles of so I didn't finish the order after I saw the shipping charge.
    I'm waaaay past the free shipping mark at this point.

    I will make my last BCF order soon. I have enough flavor to last me forever. I won't say a new flavor or two won't catch my eye but if it came down to ordering from 5-6 different places and paying the shipping to all....Nope, ain't doing that.

    Same here with lemon and lime. I will slowly work my way back into those as well. With the peaches I started adding a few drops to a creamy vanilla mix of mine. I kept adding a few more drops until peach started tasting like crap. Then I backed off and found 1% to 1.5% max to be my happy place. For me, it's perfect. I sincerely doubt eating a real peach has 10-15% flavor, lolz. Peaches aren't a bold and in your face fruit in real life. I will take the same approach with lemon and lime. :)

    Oh my, I forgot cherry. I burnt out on cherry big time years ago. I really don't care much about vaping cherry but I have a great curiosity and it's only gonna cost less than $3 bucks for a small flavor bottle.
    I never liked cherry vapes. Tried a few and gave up. My wife liked cherry vapes and I used to make her a couple different juices with it.

    I made a RS order right under $53 for the free shipping. Most are 2 ozs, one 4 oz, and four were 15 ml. 19 total flavors. Can't beat it. And that's all I'm willing to spend right now. It's all a blur. I dislike pressure and things dropped off but I just kept going with blinders on. I bought every ice cream they had that I didn't already have. I think I'm overcompensating for not having SSA Vanilla Ice Cream. Must be midlife crisis time or something. Let's buy a BIG bottle of OTHER ice creams to feel less inconsequential or incompetent. Sort of like short man syndrome, or those who buy BIG cars to compensate for having other little things. I should stop. I'm delirious from being at work all day.

    I used a cherry flavor to get through a bunch of crappy tobaccos. Now that I think about it, I actually never mixed with cherry and I'm gonna bump it out of my cart.

    The 10ml of White Coffee that hitt sent me awhile back has mixed a lot of my simple 2 flavor mix. When it’s gone I won’t be getting more. I do still prefer the taste of FA Cappuccino. I do have 10ml of tiramisu in my BCF cart. Taking baby steps with coffees. Don’t want to burn out again.
    A small amount of tiramisu, 0.25%, is very pleasing with the FA Cappuccino. I know you don't like caramel but earlier I added some of my caramel mix and some of my Nanaimo bars mix to a 5ml tester with my coffee and it's just awesome. The Nanaimo bars being a bakery and the tiny amount of caramel made it, IDK... just special, like a fancy European coffee. Hows that for a description? :lol: :lol:

    I think it's plenty strong. I wanted it to be like a cup of freshly brewed coffee, not a whole can full. ;) Right now it is like a cup of strong coffee. When I got burnt out on coffees my %'s were slightly higher, not much though. FA, FLV and SSA are more highly concentrated flavors where less is actually more, IMHO. :)
    I don't what I was thinking, right now I'm vaping mocha coffee that I mixed at 1% and it's plenty strong.
