Afternoon all! I hope everyone is enjoying some beautiful weather like we’re having here!
I try not to check 17track, but I did (bored lol). I have a FT package that’s been stuck in NY usps since 2/27. @Eskie , would you be a dear, and run over and find it for me :lol:. I’m guessing I’m not going to get it. Fortunately it’s only spare glass.

shineeeeeeeeeeeez!

i need an alternative to FLV Sweetness. anything else doesn't gunk and is sucralose- etc. free?
Can’t link to ELR here, but there’s a fairly recent forum thread on CAP super sweet vs Sweetner that people discussed all the alternatives. Also try putting stevia (as in the liquid drops from the grocery) in the search bar there. This was very frustrating for me when I started mixing, because I wanted people to tell me exactly what to buy. Unfortunately, that’s like letting a stranger order your groceries for you. My favorite flavor may be your “never again !!!”.When I was trying to start to build my stash, I went to the flavor list on ELR (under the resources tab), left the search bar empty, hit search, then selected it to sort by recipe. It’ll give you the most used flavors. It’ll look like this:

    FA pear, WF star fruit, WF quince jelly are my go tos for a touch of sweetness.

    thanks a mill.

    but now @Opinionated stepped in with her opinion, reminding me that most recipes need layers for a decent taste, which renders my research for each flavour moot and requires a ton more research and products the time for which i honestly shouldn't put in__ i;m at least two years behind schedule on my work as it is.

    i can just go back to Dampflion oneshots, 3 all day vapes i get from them, price still much cheaper than buying 10mls like when i first started and i could still get a couple flavours to try out a cardamom-mint black tea.

    feel i'm wasting a good sale though, have to go to a german website for the dampflions.

    I sometimes use a drop or two of Pyure liquid organic stevia if I need a tiny boost in sweetening but it requires a longer steep time.

    Get your list, just make single flavor testers so you know more about each individual flavoring.

    It's not my first recommendation but going to more expensive one shots isn't the answer either.. don't ruin all your plans over my opinion.

    DIY is a rabbit hole. Take Mel's advice and find one or two tea recipes that appeal to you and just order those flavors. Keep in mind that just a handful of flavors can be experimented with & can produce dozens of outcomes.

    no worries don't feel my bumber-ed-ness make you feel guilty. depressed over my stupid dissertation is all.
    thanks

    thanks both for support. just checked my oneshots and they all contain stuff from warning lists.. mint oit, citral, linalool... trying to avoid them until 'more is known'.. enough motifickation to try and go for it

    Morning all.

    If the new postie is at work/can read my letter box number I should get some shinies this week:
    Another Serpent Elevate plus mystery item(s) from NZ (Ange!) and my replacement Kudos from 3F which left Zhengzhou on 3rd March. Fingers crossed.

    Good morning shinies :wub:

    So decided not to go to the po yesterday as noticed that the pick up note said the 23rd after 14h00 so will get my panels tomorrow....or rather my lovely wife will :D

    @chanelvaps just felt like checking in to see how you were doing. Have you had a follow up scan yet? :wub:
    I'm glad you didn't have to go out. Seems to me this is a time for you, especially, to stay home. I'd be really annoyed if you caught this thing.

    goodbye
    Cabin fever has got me. Been looking at all my old photos, and being a retired Navy photographer....I have a ton. These aren't Navy, but two of my favorites. With all this time being stuck in the house, y'all just may see some of those old Navy pics before this is over with.

    Same here. I just hope I don't slip into full-blown agoraphobe territory. That would be tiresome.

    it is. breakable, like over-socializing habit, but yes, prbbly more painful, itching to go out is just restlessness. those first couple of times out; heavy on the chest, is best i can describe it. good, comfortable company can help make it easier. my go to was a more serious, lifelong socially awkward friend.
    taking walks or something or if you have a garden just sit there a bit at least_ and for social contact i found phonecalls on the regular at least also help keep your vocal cords active, they rust a bit after a couplodays not speaking.
