    Good morning random folks. Our cold snap is over and we're back to autumn weather. High today is to be 77⁰, then we got 80s for the rest of the week. Nothing much happening here. I do have several atties that need rewicking. Misty has the zoomies.
    Good morning, Terri.:)

    Has it been your experience that strawberry flavors fade fairly quickly?
    For no real reason, I haven’t used strawberry in a long time but I don’t remember it fading.

    I was looking at an old video from 2018, that said it fades quickly, just for giggles I'm going to try his shake and vape.

    What brand of freebase nicotine do you use in your mixes?
    I haven’t bought any in a long time. I know I got some from heartland vapes and some from nic river. I’m not sure who’s still selling it.

    Thanks, actually I don't mix my DIY liquid, considering the cost, I don't see much difference between buying commercial e liquids and making them at home, so I buy pre made commercial e liquids, thinking it's not worth the hassle to mix them at home and wait for steeping. However, some e-liquids I like use synthetic or TFN nicotine, and for some reason, these nics don't provide enough satisfaction for me. So, I'm thinking about buying 0 mg and adding the nicotine myself. Just need a good freebase nicotine vendor. I tried some little nic shot pods sold at local shops but they are not very practical to adjust my desired nic strength.

    I don’t know how much it is now but early in my mixing days I calculated roughly the cost of mixing a 30ml bottle of diy and it was less than thirty cents. It can vary a little depending on what and how much flavoring you use. A liter of 100mg nic lasts me 4-5 years. PG and Vg last a long time and most flavors are pretty inexpensive.
