I'z gotz stuffs!

But, I'm at work and can't play wit it.

The bottles are heavy, as in thick, were packaged well 'cept 2 of them were broken. I emailed Specialty Bottle - Wholesale Glass Bottles, Jars, Metal Tins and Plastic Containers and told them as much, good and "bad". I didn't really expect them all to be in tact. Stuff happens with UPS. About an hour after my email, I received a stalking number from them and an email telling me they were very sorry and replacements were on the way. How's that for customer service?

Wow....good space saver, but with my hands, I don't think I'd pour very good when breaking into smaller quantities. Probably make a mess.

That's why I got the pump.

If you're thinking long-term on those 200mg, you might want to put a feeler out to @Kurt, he kinda talked me out of going beyond 100mg/mL. He mentioned he had some separation issues when he tried storing the higher nics. I don't know how long, or how bad, I just remember he said it wasn't worth it to him. Maybe he'll step in and comment.
Braking it down and diluting right away is probably not a problem (though I'm not sure how handling requirements change). But it might not be a bad idea to have an idea what to watch for if you're planning on parking it to the back.
FWIW...

Yeah,it won't be long term at 200,only a few months until i make room to get it broke down.I'm not worried about seperation for the short period,i always shake the crap out of my nic before storing,and again after coming out of the freezer anyway.The way i see it,the glass they come in will work perfectly,as i can leave half of each in those bottles,and mix down to 100mg,then that's 2 bottles i don't need to buy when i get more 32oz. glass here soon.

I made a bottle of his 54 Fireball not long back. I really like it, but I can't vape it all day. I keep a tankful on a mod all the time and vape it here and there.

I haven't tried that one,but the fire & ice is great.I used it as an adv for a couple months before,and so far have been using it as an adv again here for the last week,and probably the next few months again haha.Here is the one i made.I think the next bottle i make though,i will probably up the koolada and menthol by 1% on each,but it's great just like it is.

Fire & ice

Cinnamon - 7%
Bavarian Cream - 4%
Cotton Candy - 4%
Vanilla Swirl - 3%
Koolada - 2%
Menthol - 2%

That does sound like a good idea. Let us know how it goes when you do get them into smaller containers.
Thx

I got my bottles from Specialty bottle too but mine arrived unbroken. I've got a liter of 100mg broken into mostly 100 ml bottles but am thinking about just ordering a glass bottle of 100mg and leaving it to be broken down later. With any luck and some legal cases, maybe we won't need this stockpile. Of course it can still be used over time.

I didn't try the Fire and Ice. The 54 sounded more up my alley. (plus I never bought menthol) I may give the F&I a whirl. I've found that even 1% Koolada in recipes is too much for me!

I had to switch the BC for Sweet Cream in the 54. I used to have an ADV with BC, but here lately, everytime I try it in a mix, I end up switching it out for sweet cream.

I have to do another large "100 drop" session in the next few days. I still can't find another ADV. I prefer fruity mixes. I've tried most of the ones that have been on this thread and a bunch I have found online. I've tried to concoct some myself. I think I am the pickiest vaper around. I've been vaping my version of Black Pom for 2 years now.

Looks like fun! I just got in some more nic Thursday and bottles today. I already have my labels printed. I need to bottle it up today or tomorrow.

I have a feeling I'll still have to use a funnel but, wont have to pour out of a heavy gallon jug. I'll keep y'all posted.

Labels?? I knew I forgot something.

 

[DebiK]

Labels?? I knew I forgot something.

Mine are pretty simple. Avery address labels. I add Lot #, Bottled Date and the amount in the bottle.

 

[Simply Red]

I suppose I ort to do something like that.

Well, USPS failed again. My flavor order from BCV was scheduled for delivery today but wasn't delivered. Now I have to wait until Monday.

It's such a sad feeling when you are expecting Vape mail and only get junk mail.

 

[b.m.]

Wow awesome deal! Do they have a coupon code? yah, I know - still thinking of jumping on a few of these either way - what with my limited space and all this would be fantastic!

Ok,to give a better answer on this,i did find a couple different coupon codes for 10% off,problem is neither of them worked haha.On the bright side,if the shipping to you stays at what mine was,i paid $75.14 after shipping,so after breaking it down to 2 100mg liters,it's only $37.57 a liter,plus whatever the vg to cut it with comes out to,which i have a gallon and a half already,so figure maybe $5 worth of vg if that,still a great price for 2 liters worth.I plan to grab another later this month,and one more in July,so i will be set for a long,long time.

I get to the point that i would be happy to see junk mail haha.We have been revolving through alot of different carriers here lately,doing our route after their normal one,while they try and find a permanent replacement for our route.The problem with this is,none of these carriers are familiar with my neighborhood,and they are already worn out by the time they get to us,so we have gone 3-4 days with no mail at all.Not sure of they are throwing it away,losing it,or whatever,but i'm almost afraid to order any vape mail right now that will be coming through the mail.I was glad to see that nic is shipped Fed ex,i've never had any issues with them.

I understand part of that. There is another street in my town named almost like mine. They have mixed up mail both ways. They've not sent any of my vape mail there, but they have sent something my husband ordered there. We get their mail occasionally as well. We recently got a new carrier after many years. He "left a notice" for a vape mail package one day. He didn't actually leave anything and it didn't need a signature. He delivered it the next day. I don't know what happened. Our old carrier would drive to our back door to deliver things needing a signature. This new carrier won't. I miss her. She was awesome!

Yeah,in the past when we had substitute carriers,i have gotten that left notice messege several times,and never got a notice and no signature required,and like you,most times it showed up the next day.I have also had 3 different times of packages saying they were delivered when they were not,and they are no help at all when you call about it,and my favorite was a package that showed out for delivery,then didn't show up,it went back to the sender because "address does not exist",i live on a dead end street and my house is the only one on it,it is maybe 50 feet from the intersection,so if the carrier would have simply turned his head to the right,there is no way he could of missed it haha.
