I'm thinking its using the TFA custard, not the capella, it doesn't have that heavy capella feel to it.

Likely he is. I know from back in 2010 when I was emailing back and forth with the owner of TFA/Linda that he gets a lot of his flavors from her. Now if I could find out what he is using for Tin Box mint!! I ordered TFA Mint Candy to see what that tastes like. FW candy cane is a bit weak but tastes good.

for some of us, prepping is no problem.
i have a garden because it's fun.
i have fruit trees because they are fun.
i have guns because i love them.
i practice shooting because it's fun.
none of this has anything to do with prepping.
these are just -my hobbies.

What problem do you have with labels?

One easy approach is to print a sheet of labels on plain paper, cut them with scissors, and use clear packing tape over them on the bottles. Almost everyone has some kind of printer, a pair of scissors, and a roll of clear packing tape, no?

That's what I finally did for my labels, except I took a picture of the original container's label, then printed out the photo 9-up on a sheet of paper.

Since don't have a printer, I took it to work and printed there.

Just curious. Does anyone store their nic in mason jars?

There are 2 people I know of on this forum who have been doing this for years and claim no problems. IIRC, though, they both recommend getting the BPA free plastic lids (or at least one of them does).

If you go this route, it is claimed that the blue freezer jars are not necessary as these are merely sold because foods/liquids expand when frozen - so the jars will not break. But since nic base won't expand much (you'll leave some headspace anyhow), then it's not necessary to get the more expensive blue freezer jars.

I think you can some find the lids suspect but who knows.

I shoot fine without my essential tremor, I kill plants indoors but I gardened with my dad. I got the space currently should I need to be.....but really.

I am extra good at talking folks into doing things. I mostly use this power for good. Also, per my mother, "I attract men who are highly competent and work hard."

She wanted to know how I did it. I was like...."Dood… Mom, you just act like a ditz and LET them do it, if they figure it out you KEEP them. This requires giving up even the ILLUSION of control though, so I stand ready to place mine AT your disposal (my husband has at times been resentful about that, LOL) because you would NOT be able to tolerate the uncertainty to find out.

Gosh even my kid is highly competetent.

Take just now, I just convinced the husband to get me more diet pepsi from the kitchen to the couch. I think he mighta already been in bed but he did it.

Persuasional powers, I wouldn't trade them

Maybe not... Fingers crossed. I just received this email from the VTA. Not a done deal yet, but most definitely a possibility. :)

BREAKING NEWS:
FDA SEEKS PMTA DEADLINE EXTENSION CITING COVID-19
March 30, 2020


Today, the FDA submitted a letter to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, in American Academy of Pediatrics, et al. v. FDA, et al., asking Judge Grimm to extend the May 12, 2020 court-ordered PMTA deadline by 120-days to September 9, 2020 “in light of the global outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a new coronavirus.”

FDA explained in its submission that “the global coronavirus outbreak poses unforeseen challenges and has made the May 12 deadline a public health risk to those who cannot comply with the deadline through telework.” In addition, FDA explained that telework also will complicate and delay FDA’s review of applications.

In deciding to request a 120-day extension, FDA noted that it had received requests from numerous trade associations and companies, including consultants involved in the PMTA process, for extensions “between 8 weeks and 180 days, with the majority of requests for 180 days.” VTA was one of those entities that submitted a request to FDA and did so on March 20, 2020 outlining the basis and necessity for deadline extensions for large manufacturers and small manufacturers.

At this point in time, no one can predict the length and severity of the COVID-19 commercial shutdown. FDA explicitly recognized this point in the Second Declaration of Mitchell Zeller which accompanied the letter to the Court. In his Declaration, Director Zeller testified: “It is not clear at this point what the precise impact of the COVID-19 outbreak will be on the scope of FDA’s ability to complete application reviews within the 12-month period of time once applications are filed.” That is precisely why VTA requested a new deadline of November 2020 (or at least 180 days from business resumption) for large manufacturers, and a new deadline of February 2021 (or at least 270 days from business resumption) for small manufacturers. To that end, VTA explained that “the question of whether these deadline changes are sufficient or ultimately realistic can and must be re-evaluated in the coming months as more information comes to light about the length and severity of the commercial shutdown due to COVID-19.”

Moreover, VTA also encouraged FDA to utilize the additional time to implement PMTA process modifications that will ensure the survival of small businesses and a diverse array of the vapor products on which former smokers now rely.

In its letter to the District Court, FDA notes that the plaintiffs (American Academy of Pediatrics, et al.) will not oppose the FDA’s request, though the plaintiffs have requested the opportunity to “express their misgivings about the extension on the record.” In order to rule, Judge Grimm still will have to have the case remanded to him by the Fourth Circuit and then he would need to make his decision on whether or not to grant the FDA’s request.

However, given the strong case made by the FDA, the obvious insurmountable obstacles created by the coronavirus, and the apparent lack of opposition by the plaintiffs, a ruling extending the deadline is reasonably likely though still not certain.
We will continue to monitor the situation and will keep you apprised.
