    I have a doctor's appointment today to see if the drain can be pulled. I don't think he will pull it, though. Yesterday during the day, it hardly put out anything, then last night it started to put out like crazy. I could reschedule the appointment, but I do want the doctor to check my incisions. Maybe I'll reschedule for tomorrow.

    Morning, mixers.

    We seem to still be avoiding the worst of the current storm, so it looks to be rain here, with snow about 10 miles east. And warmed up here overnight, 33 at 10 PM, 39 at 6 AM. Heat wave, while points north and east shiver :)

    Tomorrow I will collect my 2 liters of NIC, emergency reserve in the freezer.
    Next year I'm going to stock up on PG and VG, thinking of storing them in a fridge. Is it stupid, or is it a good solution?

    Like others, nic on ice, PG and VG in a cool dark place. Done so for years, no problems.

    Somewhere between here and there
    Since I was up early anyway, I placed an order online for two dozen donuts from Dunkin to take to work. I usually do that around Xmas time each year. I still ended up getting to work early even after stopping to pick them up.

    Good morning folks,

    2.3 liters of NIC on the way to the freezer, now there is a total of 3.3 liters there.
    I will buy 1 liter next year as well, a good 4 liters in the emergency storage seems reasonable! 150ml is my annual consumption.

    I keep my nic in the freezer and just keep my pg and vg in the basement where it stays a consistent temperature. I've never kept them in a refrigerator but am sure it would be fine if you want to do that.
    I keep my nic in the freezer. My working bottle is kept in the fridge.

    Never saw the need to keep PG/VG in the fridge. Like Hitt, I store mine in my basement.
    And, I've never heard of quality PG/VG going bad.

    Also store my flavors in the basement.

    Really nice Holiday gesture. However, what - No real bakery in your area to get some real donuts or coffee cake ?

    Not around where I live. It's pretty much all chain bakeries. There used to be a really good one on my way to work but the location wasn't the best and there wasn't enough parking. They were always busy so I'm not sure why they went out of business.

    That's a shame the Bakery 's gone. But the important thing is you did something very nice for your co-workers for the holidays.

    Has anyone bought vg pg from nude nicotine?

    As I recall, @Katya has only used Nude Nicotine VG/PG for her flavorless and DIY mixes.

    Currently the prices for each vary widely at NN versus Bulk Apothecary.

    A gallon of VG at NN is $25.99. At Bulk Apothecary a gallon is $19.00.

    A gallon of PG at NN is $28.00 and at BA it's $35.84.

    Both sell USP grade VG/PG. BA is a major supplier of both in the US.

    NN is in San Diego, CA and BA is in Aurora, OH. I would think shipping from San Diego would cost you more versus from Ohio.

    Thanks, I'm going to compare both. One reason I was checking Nude Nicotine is because I can get 30pg/70vg premixed. Saves me one more step.
    I can get one gallon of 30pg/70vg from Nude Nicotine for $18.56, makes me think.

    Earlier I took Carli dog to Pet Supplies Plus for some new toys for her and Angel cat.

    While there I came across this level 4 Nina Ottosson interactive game. That's a product photo. There are 24 hidden compartments. A dog has to slide the blue tiles to find a treat.

    81y4rrSMTyL._AC_SL1500_.jpg


    The lady at the store told me I should start my dog at one of the level 1 games not level 4. I laughed and told her you do not know my dog. She said she never heard of any dog starting a Nina Ottosson interactive toy at level 4. I said "perfect, I'll take the level 4 then".

    We get home and I place a tiny piece of a treat in one of the outside compartments and place it on the floor. LOL... it took Carli all of a couple seconds to figure out how to move the sliding tiles to find the treat.

    Okay, next I placed a very tiny morsel of a treat in one of the inner compartments. Placed it on the floor and again Carli figured it out quickly.

    Angel cat was watching this all with great interest. So I tried it with her. Cat figured it out almost as quickly as Dog.

    Scent, they know the scent of treats and regular food. Okay, let's up the ante then!!! Next I took some gross smelling canned dog food and smeared some in each compartment. Then wiped out each compartment. The scent of the canned food was still present in each compartment. Then I repeated the test with a very small morsel of Carli's regular dry food. It took her a little longer but she still found it quickly. Same with Cat.

    LOL, I need to look around for more difficult interactive puzzle toys for both Dog and Cat. :lol:
