Must be something in the air. I managed to mix for my SIL - easy, one flavor and pre made base. And a couple bottles for me over the last few months.

But I need to clean out the juice cubby and pitch all the old stuff and make room for new... it always looks like I have so many that I figure I can get by another month, when actually it’s mostly gone funny and I won’t vape it.
Yes, I'm the same. Never throw anything out but as you say it's tastes weird or you just don't fancy it. It's more like a big washing up operation than a sort :D

Everyday when I see that I think

You say goodbye
And I say hello!

:D
Hi Delores.....I've said hello now. To me it seems that you're around for my late afternoon/evening when I'm less active.

How're you doing by the way? Hope you're well and staying completely out of harm's way. We never want anything to happen to our Delores, a very special person.....one of life's little gems there to set an example to others. Your Ma and Pa must have been pretty special too.

Anyway, hoping things are good with you.

On the vape front I just decided to buy the new aspire Mixx which is a new side by side 18650/350 with a 60 watt board like the BB but not DNA although it's clearly been modelled on the same visuals. Here's a Mark Todd unboxing....



And have a great day sweetie :wub:

I got shipping confirmation from Element Vape for my Dovpo Topside Dual this afternoon. Purchased the gold/black limited edition one, pretty psyched as I haven't bought anything in awhile. Fingers crossed it was a good buy. Y'all made me much more confident in the purchase, thank you for this.

Here's a pic of the one you bought (to the far left in the picture)

I've paired it with the vapefly galaxy RDA, the black and ultem one in the photo, and it looks perfect together.. of course, this rda is mtl to a tighter rl, but it's a nice combo as far as looks go..

Does anyone use one of those shortfill bottle cap openers and if so do they work like well enough to warrant buying them? I usually just dig a screwdriver up under the cap but I feel like there's probably a better way and sometimes the cap flies sometimes I poke the screwdriver through the cap and I find myself doing this a lot.

    Oh yes, they do work. I didnt know about them until I was given one at a vape show last year. When I got home I had to look it up to see what it was lol.
    They certainly work, used mine quite a few times now.
    I dont think they cost much so worth it. Another little tool to add to the vaping armoury.

    Well one of my vaporesso contest winnings made it through customs (yay!l and was out for delivery yesterday despite having only arrived at the major Hub a couple counties over at 10:30pm wed. It wasn't in the mailbox and it says that it's awaiting delivery scan (boo!). absolutely hate that and another thing usually my out for delivery notices come between 7:30 and 8:30 this one was weird because it happened at 9:30 which just doesn't occur. I have never had a package scanned out for delivery at 9:30 LOL they don't leave the Hub at 9:30. Hoping that they just did that to stop the clock by scanning it out for delivery but it wasn't actually out for delivery but will be today. Fingers crossed!
    I guess I'll update the postal service has not found it. Yesterday they called me and told me basically sorry but it's likely gone. Then they told me to get a refund because they do not expect it to show up as it already went through there and then became lost. I am very disappointed. They didn't address the fact that every package that I have ever had in the entire history of me receiving packages at this address has shown out for delivery at 7:10 a.m. and this one was at 9:30 a m apparently 10 minutes after it had arrived to the hub. Anyhow I did let the vaporesso brand rep know and maybe they will be able to do something for me or put the pressure on the Postal Service to figure out where it went. That would be incredibly nice. I was very much looking forward to my little tarot Nano. Hopefully it all works out.

    I have an entire drawer of commercial Ejuice some of it probably 3 or 4 years old that I don't really know why I'm holding on to it because I don't like it and I didn't like it then. I like what I made myself better however I want to keep the bottles so that at least I feel like I spent my money on something LOL. I think I'm probably going to dump it as we are moving in a couple weeks God willing LOL I mean bottles don't cost much and the effort that I put forth to get the old labels off and then get the sticky off is not worth the $0.50 to a dollar that I would have paid for the bottle

    I know exactly what you mean. I hate throwing the old bottles away and kept them all in a bag for when I was ready to spend the day at the kitchen sink.
    Half hour later I thought sod this, too much faffing about. The first few labels came off clean but then the rest I was pulling my hair out.
    In my anger I threw the lot in the bin.
    Easier to just buy new bottles which is a shame as I wanted to do my bit for the environment.

    Good morning ShinyOnes !!! :wub:

    Busy, but very fun week for me. A very dear friend called me Sunday and asked if I wanted to head up north to her place for a stay/visit. She owns, breeds, trains and boards horses. Went riding a couple times everyday (after chores). There are many trails around her land. Was awesome, no city BS, people, cars or planes! :lol: Perfect.

    Meantime, I'm expecting a few shiny packages. I am many many pages behind... so likes and loves etc. etc..

    Yep, in April the FDA postponed the PMTA deadline for manufacturers of vaping products until Sept. 9, 2020. Covid took priority over PMTA enforcement.

    thanks! My roommate moved out w her fiancé and left the room a mess. I have a chronic illness and have only myself to count on. So I’ve been painting walls and scrubbing carpets! I can’t believe I’m still standing.

    that was my long way of making excuses for not keeping up on here lol!!

    cheers!!

    I never have for all the different squonks I have. I suppose if I was out all day it might be useful but then why not just bring the entire bottle. Some people have seemed happy with them in the past not sure if they’re still a hot commodity.

    I suppose it would also depend on how easy the manufacturer made the mod for refilling. Topsides are the as easy as it gets as is the Revenant. But I can’t speak to the boxy shaped squonks. Never cared for the shape.

    good luck

    lol! Sounds like me - I have probably 50 or more empty bottles both commercial and DIY ones gathering dust in the hopes that I’ll some day wash them out.

    I really HATE throwing plastics away but new ones are just so darn cheap and don’t have any sticky residue on them.

    its a conundrum :shock:

    Good morning Shiny's
    More disappointment coming from 3f. GT4 finally arrived and came with a plastic tank rather than the glass as advertised. Actually I'm not convinced it is the same GT4 I actually ordered. 2nd time now they have sent unacceptable subs. 3F is officially off my to order from list.

    May I ask what a GT4 is? I can only think of Vaperessos GT drop in coils which I’m pretty sure not what you’re referring to.

    Taifun GT 4 rta. I order the clone of the gt4 pure glass but that isn't what I received.
    This is the authentic...
    Taifun GT IV Pure Glass RTA

    very cool but it is backwords. Charlie exits and then Daniel enters. Haha hilarious. Usually about an hour apart but today 1 minute
    I almost asked @Daniel Forsyth yesterday if he has an alert set up to tell him when @charlie1465 says good night so that he knows when to wish us good morning.

    I envy you because I have bought 3 different orders from BCF, over $100 worth of stuff and facing mixing something feels almost like facing the gas chamber. When I am in the mood, I am in the mood and love it. When I am not I would vape anything to not have to do it. That is what retirement has done to me. I do not do anything I do want to do.

    I hear ya. I don’t know what happened to me. I was in mixers paradise with a setup and over 200 flavors and 7 liters of nic.

    Then one of my dogs died and a week later I fractured my hip and was really bed ridden for several months except for PT and using a walker. Sitting in a chair - any chair- was extremely painful and had to be a certain height blah blah blah And I’ve had complications.

    Bottom line is there’s no reason now that I can’t sit to mix 1-3 juiced myself but I’ve gotten so darn lazy just reaching for a commercial juice. Such a waste of money. It was supposed to be for my “stash” :nah:

    so somehow I need to motivate myself especially since I enjoyed it so much as a hobby and even set up a mix station and don’t need to put stuff away except flavors in a dark closet.

    soooooooo any ideas to get me from making really lame excuses please send them my way lol!!

    seriously :|

    And speaking of broadening horizons. ;)


    Do you really MTL on Gear and Project X?

    Asking for a friend.

    you didn’t ask me but I’ll jump in and say the Gear is the tightest azz “rda” RTA ive ever used. And don’t use anymore. I’m a wide open gal :pervy::pervy: !!
