    Lucky you! We have to take hazardous materials to our local recycling center (5-min drive)--paint, batteries, electronic waste, etc. Everything else goes in the recycling bin and gets picked up once a week.
    Pretty much the same here in the UK. 1 bin for recycling, 1 bin for non recycling and another bin for food and garden waste. Anything else or big we take to the recycling or rubbish tip.

    oh no I think we actually o the same! We have hazardous materials day but I THINK you can take it on regular recycling Saturdays. I could be very wrong. It’s a pita because the line of cars move so slowly but it makes me feel like at least I’m trying a little bit.

    Morning shinies ;)



    I was a menthol smoker too, so I also went for menthol/mint ejuice. Most were OK, but it wasn't until I found these guys:
    Mist NZ Vape Store
    that I found something I absolutely love vaping. And I know that played a huge part in keeping me smoke-free. Their juices aren't overly flavoured or too strong and they are a fantastic ejuice store.

    They used to offer a custom made 50ml, where you pick 3 of their juices and they mix them together. I tried Menthol, Vanilla Ice Cream and Whipped Cream. The result ended up being my favourite ejuice for the next year. I only stopped buying from them when I successfully cloned it - and even now, that mix is my morning wake-up juice :wub:
    The recipe is Enticemint:

    Thanks Ange. It has been bookmarked :)

    With the same kitty on it too?! ;)

    Oh my after reading this. I looked again at the pic and I saw Luna (I will assume). I didn't before :facepalm:

    I can hear in my head "Should have gone to Specsavers" :lol:

    @chanelvaps Got an update for you on Capella's Choc Fudge Brownie:
    I used 1% in a mix with lots of creams and 3% FLV cream and cookies. As a S&V it was horrible - chocolate saucy taste with a big throat hit. 3 days later, no throat hit, and the fudge is coming through. I'm steeping this mix for 2 weeks to see what happens to FLV's C&C as it's pretty faint still - but I love how the Fudge Brownie is shaping up :thumbs:

    I was a menthol smoker too, so I also went for menthol/mint ejuice.

    And on the subject of menthol. I was never a menthol smoker, but I love menthol vapes. Go figure. I like to add mint to my tea vapes, spearmint mostly, but sometimes I want a little menthol. Do you guys and gals prefer menthol crystals or menthol flavorings ( see @AngeNZ is using CAP menthol--never tried this one, as I vape FA almost exclusively).

    Thoughts? Tips? Advice?

    Throw them in a pot of very hot (just boiled) water, let them stew for 30 min or so, then use an abrasive pad and a bit of Goo Gone or nail polish remover (acetone) or Isopropyl alcohol to remove what's left--paper and adhesive. Rinse and you're golden. I like to upcycle all kinds of glass jars and bottles and this method works for me.
    Same here, upcycle (learned a new word, TY). Goo Gone, yep. Still have much of the wife's stuff including nail polish remover (in the tool kit now :)).

    I use Dawn for soaking.
    I thought everyone used Dawn for soaking/cleaning atty's etc.. :blush: It's one of my all purpose cleaners along with Pine-Sol (not for vape gear). They use Dawn to clean critters, birds and other assorted animals when nasty stuff gets them all messed up (human shame). I've used Dawn in a pinch to give my dog and cat baths. SOS pads work good for removing left over labels and adhesive too.

    Or switch to unflavored. Really. Very nice vape--and trouble free. And your coils will last forever. :D
    Yep, have one RTA w/flavorless going on 30 days with a rayon wick and the coil has gone almost 1/2 a year (with cleaning). ;)

    CAP menthol was a game-changer for me. I'd tried menthol crystals, but found them too overpowering, no matter how low a % I used. CAP menthol is more of a mint, it's not too strong, not toothpasty, it just works.

    No more Mod Dominoes :D
    I have a box like that for the same reason. Angel (cat) liked playing dominoes with my mods. Nice Luna photobomb btw. If I could just figure something out for Carli's tail sending mods (not in the box) flying through the air.
    Thankfully none broken yet. :nun:

    Ah... loverly Luna. :wub: Her and Angel would have great fun together. Angel unwound another roll of toilet paper earlier. She was running around with some yapping up a storm. :facepalm:

    Thanks, Ange. I too find the crystals overpowering and a bit off flavorwise for my taste, but that's all I have. I'll give Cap Menthol a try.

    I've been on a menthol kick for the last few months. I use (10%) crystals dissolved in PG because their more cost efficient (I'm cheap lol). Haven't tried all the cool additives/mint mixes out there, menthol does what I want. I bought 8 oz. of crystals on Amazon recently, should last me a long while.
