Strawberry flavouring is one of the few that actually fades or changes a bit as it ages (or steep).... so if you had a fresh bottle, it might be very different.

I was making 100+ml bottles of my Strawberry stuff, then found that out... I'll do smaller batches.. between 2 to 3 days of steeping is more than good enough, then it's to be used within a month otherwise it's "at your own risk" I find.
I'll have to mix some smaller ones up to see how I feel about it again.

There's no humor here anymore either!
I made a joke about dripping and driving and got damned into a tree and hope that I didn't take any innocent bystanders with me!
Jeez man, lighten up! LOL
That's the problem anymore.......can't make a joke without somebody getting offended or upset......different world now...........

People in general, and most especially online, are angrier.. it's rather sad really, but anger is up considerably, in general. I've noticed this as a whole. People are saying things without thought nor feeling, nor are very many left who are thinking..
Very well said...............................

Well, I remember that fiasco of a thread a few days ago.. it wasn't coming off as a "joke", and upon stating that it wasn't something safe, all hell broke loose with "you ain't the boss of me" and "I better than you because I can do it" type comments.

So yeah.. there's having a sense of humor and there's flat out flipping out and escalating things.

It's like that Snoop Dog shooting the clown president "funny"... at some point, it's just not funny and could cause trouble should someone take it as it looks.

Hahaha.. I did water because it's a healthier option then say, cookies.. lol.. but anything you put in your mouth is likely to work, even just a straw.. your just replacing the hand to mouth thing with something else - that is key - until you find your not reaching for something to stick in your mouth. It took me a couple months to stop with the hand to mouth thing.

I've seen some threads about nicotine and such, and that's been a topic I tend to mention: where the oral fixation is the worse "addiction" for some people (than the nicotine itself), and they didn't realize it could be like that, simply, many don't know.

So your post is great as it goes into that very thing.

And the recent quitters, don't know that it's not just the nicotine that their bodies goes into withdrawals for too..but all the other toxins.

I seen quite a few that after they get through that phase, they can lower their nicotine fairly fast and end up quitting vaping too as it wasn't the nicotine at all that was hooking them in... But still, I see some end up restarting or finding alternatives for that fixation thing.

Have you seen those spinners gadgets for keeping hands busy.. their popularity (especially with the vaping community) is skyrocketing like crazy.

Our bodies are all different. We all handle different substances in different manners. I do know that when I go without a vape for a few hours my desire for one feels just like it did for a cigarette, and that's over a year without one. If I'm in a place where discretion is needed, I do use a low watt, high nic low VG juice and it satisfies that desire.

Still, even though it eliminates that desire, it's not as satisfying as my usual vape which is 30-40W but with a very loose airflow. I've really come to enjoy that over a restricted draw. Bottom line, whatever keeps you off cigs is good.

You call that a controversy?

Back in the day we had an ECF beauty pageant.
It doesn't get much more controversial than that!

Most people wouldn't like me in real life either ;)
I'm not the most serious person on the planet. It is my purpose in life to make someone smile/laugh at least once everyday or I'm sad :)

Vaping is pretty boring these days.
That's what I want it to be, thought I was there with nautilus mini, easy peasy, but then I realized drop in coils don't give a lot of flavor compared to RBA's like the kayfuns for MTL. But I don't want coil building and wicking to take up so much time, I don't want a vaping hobby I want to just vape lol
