Dx vanilla cupcake now too?!!! Thanks for sharing your order

I've experimented with cotton candy. It was in my first stretch of mixes. I'll bring it back up to the drawing board. I've also noticed (maybe it's just me) that the flavor profiles tend to die off after a few days. One other thing, in your Pink Starburst recipe will strawberry ripe replace strawberry? I have strawberry and it's god awful. Lol. Thanks Bill!

I prefer the strawberry ripe as well but generally not by itself. when I make Bill's starburst I take whatever percentage is specified as strawberry and use 2/3 strawberry and 1/3 strawberry ripe.

Most other recipes I use 1/2 strawberry and 1/2 strawberry ripe but it's all personal preference...

Were those all 4ozers?
I think you could start a juice factory

Yes, it shipped on Feb 9, exactly 2 wks ago, which was 10 days prior to their holiday. I expect it should be here pretty soon

Andria

Hopefully you will get lucky,but i wouldn't hold my breath on it showing up too soon.I placed 2 orders with them Feb.5,they both shipped the 6th,and were processed through a sort facilty in xiamen or something like that on the 7th,well before their holiday started,neither of mine have made it to the U.S. yet,so i'm thinking even though they were processed,that they did not leave the sort facility before they shut down for the holiday.


On another note,i went into flavor buying frenzy recently,i got several 4oz. bottles of flavors i had tried before and needed to restock on,which was all good.I forgot 1 bottle on my first order,so i made a 2nd order for 1 more 4oz. bottle because i was almost out of that flavor,again sounds good right?Except for the fact that i'm an idiot who doesn't look at what they are ordering haha.I meant to order the graham cracker,but instead ordered bavarian cream,which is ok except for the fact that i still have about 15ml of bavarian cream left,but i definitely don't have to worry about running out now haha.Oh well,i'm doing another order thursday anyway,so i've added the graham cracker to that cart already so i dont screw up again haha.

That's one of my favorites I use normally at 10-12%..

Yep they were!

The truth is, you really can't beat the pricing when you buy 4oz bottles (or larger) directly from TFA. Not when you look at what the smaller bottles are going for.

Updated blog entry with a few pics of using a glass stirring rod to transfer liquids from bottle -> bottle.

 

[trueagle]

Love the glass stir rod trick

 

[Nic-holio]

BTW kudos and shout-out to Packaging Options Direct for wrapping a 64pk of 4oz bottles entirely in plastic. Amazing how much cleaner bottles are when they are encapsulated in a plastic membrane before they go into a box....

 

[Nic-holio]

Love the glass stir rod trick

Thanks. My old high school chemistry teacher would be elated.

 

[trueagle]

I just ordered from glassbottleoutlet.com and haven't received them but I'm hopefully they come all wrapped as well I ordered 360 and the were 49 cents a piece with the child resistant dropper

I just made my first 15ml of it last night and believe me that recipe is perfect! Vaped it right away and its pretty friggen close to the real thing! Even got a comment from one of the pharmacists at work when she walked by me and smelled the vapor..

I should've just made a whole 60ml, it is off the hook in my Magma at about 18w!

I'm even down to 6mg from 10mg since starting these recipes! I may be a vaper for life at this rate!

Any suggestions on good label printer for 30ml bottles. I'm unhappy with printing multiple labels 30 at a time

 

[Bill's Magic Vapor]

Oops! Made a mixing error with my cinnamon Danish. Was going to make 300 mls of my ADV and forgot I had already added PG to my base flavoring mix, way back when. After adding another 7% by accident, I had to correct it and now have a 600 ml batch. I should be okay now for a couple of months. I do these recipes in my head (multiples of 100 mg), and just forgot my bases are always 30% PG and include the PG in the base, if less than 30%, which the CD is 23%. Anyway, I'm set now!

 

[trueagle]

I've made that same mistake, I add pg to make mine 30 then I use vg and vg nicotine. It's worked out great for me thanks bill

I just use one of those Brother P-Touch printers, but then again I dont have 30 different juices to print for..
That reminds me I gotta pick up some new tape for it tomorrow too.. The clear with black print worked fine for my clear plastic and glass 15ml bottles, but now that I have all these blue 60mls Im using, you cant see a damn thing on those labels unless I hold it in front of a lamp haha.

 

[trueagle]

That's what happens, upgrade one thing sets off a chain upgrade reaction

For informal labels, I use a Brother P-Touch printer. Three lines:

Cinnamon Danish 23% (flavoring)
6 mg/ml 70/30 (VG/PG ratio)
120 ml 1/15/15 (volume/qty and date made)]

Works great. I also make formal labels like this:



Whatever works is the best way! Have fun!
