Phew. Came in here tonight to get caught up. Just finished reading 10 pages. Copied some new recipes. Sounds great. Was hoping to see Pumpkin Roll developed.

I recently ordered some 4oz bottles of flavors from TFA. 2 bottles had bad seals and leaked during shipping. I sent an email to TFA and explained what happened. TFA promptly shipped me new replacements. That's what I call EXCELLENT customer service!
Interesting... I bought some 4oz'ers a while ago, and they do not like being laid on their side. Probably 3 of the 6 are on the leaky side.
But none of them have anything besides a plastic lid; no paper circle or anything. Is this normal for the 4oz bottles?
I just assumed it was my fault for laying them on their side.
I think it depends on the flavor.I have gotten some that have a seal and some that dont.All of them i have gotten in the frosted looking bottles that are tall and skinny have had a seal,but the ones that came in the short clear fat bottles did not.They get their flavors from a few different suppliers,so i dont know if maybe some don't put the seal on,or if tfa is getting those flavors in bulk,and then bottling those ones themselves.All of my creams have been sealed,but the cinnamon,juicy peach,and orange sweet were the ones that weren't.
That's exactly opposite to my experience, b.m.
All my tall frosted plastic 4oz bottles are simply bottle + lid, no insert paired with the lid (compared to the 8ml bottles from Wizard Labs).
I have 4oz (clear plastic) of peppermint that's got a little plastic deal that pairs with the lid. I think this is also the case with my two 1oz bottles directly from TFA.
Maybe I'll shoot them an email to see what's up. I don't need new bottles, but if they could just mail me the little guys that pair with the tall frosted lids... Assuming I should have them, of course.
My DIY toolbox just requires me to lay the bottles down, otherwise it wouldn't be an issue. Some compartments do get a little wet.

First time ever ordering from TFA straight. IT COMES IN GLASS BOTTLES?! HELL YES.

None of these bottles, be it glass or plastic is perfectly air tight, or leak proof. I wouldn't lay any them on their sides, if you can at all help it. The only air tight bottles I have are reagent bottles. The glass tops are grounded to fit the bottles. These work well for our purposes.
Just fixed up Bill's cinnamon Danish and chocolate cream pie! GONNA do up the banana foster recipe next!

I may have misunderstood what you meant.I know what your talking about with the lids from wizard,my tfa bottles dont have those either.I thought you meant the safety seal or whatever it's called.When my tall bottles come,they have all had that seal under the cap that you have to peel off,but the short clear ones i have got didn't have that on them.
Shout out to Bill: your chocolate cream pie recipe is DELICIOUS. Gonna make a huge bottle tmr hehehe

Glad you like it! You can adjust the two chocolates to reflect more like milk chocolate, or more like dark chocolate. Keep same overall percentage, just adjust each in opposite directions, when you make a change. I do love my pies!
All of my 4oz bottles came with hermetically sealed pull tab seals.

I wouldn't worry about air tight seals for storage too much. I have flavors over a year old in the plastic containers without the paper lid and they still work fine.
I think a majority of the taste change happens after nicotine is introduced. I notice that juice flavor will dissipate after a few months when the nic is added, but base mixes don't really seem to change.
I think it's called a stone or something on these forums.

Yeah, sorry for the discussion on lids, I was just getting a bit OCD there, I misunderstood something, then was misunderstood, and the whole thing really got away from me
In related news, has anyone had any luck with Key Lime as something other than a primary for a pie?
I've become a massive fan of Bill's Key Lime Pie, and I now need to find other things I enjoy as much; the bar has been set pretty high. I doubt I want everything to be lime-flavored, but I'm debating how much use I'll find for it.
It's time for my first flavor order since going all out a while ago, and I'm leaning towards some cake type flavors, in addition to general refills. That lemon cake recipe looks pretty good, I might have to go on a citrus kick.

Key lime chocolate truffle is on my to do list. The following is not finished mind you, just where I'm going to start.
Key lime chocolate truffle
Key lime 10%
Double Chocolate 4%
Fudge Brownie 4%
Sweet cream 4%
Butter 1%
Caramel 2%
Sweet 3%
Nutmeg 2%
I'm sure it would be a prime ingredient in a Margarita mix if you feel like vaping margaritas.

One thing you might try. I make what I call a killer custard. Sometimes I will add a drop or two of a flavor. I have use strawberry blueberry etc. A good one was when I added Key Lime. What is the worst that can happen to you? You hate it and dump out one tank
. What if you love it 
Hi everyone .... I have been stalking this thread for a long time now, there is a ton of good information and everyone is so helpful. I have now started doing the 100 DT on everything and it has saved me a ton of time. I have to commend Bill on his recipes, I've made the Lemon, Peach and Cinnamon Danish and all of them are amazing!!
I've been mixing my own juice since April and have always just followed other's recipes, you guys have inspired me to venture further and start trying to concoct my own recipes from scratch. I have made a couple and I will post them when I get them right.
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone on the thread and ask for some suggestions on a mix that I was asked to make for a friend. She wants me to make a Blueberry Mint vape, most of my flavors are TPA, I was thinking somewhere along the lines of Blueberry Extra 10%, Peppermint 3%, and maybe Cotton Candy 2%. Was also thinking about maybe some adding some creams. Any suggestions you all had would be appreciated!
Thanks you

Your farther along than me then.I started mixing in April also,and i still just follow others recipes haha.I have had a few ideas on a couple i want to try and make,just never have the time or patience to sit down and really try at them.Blueberry mint sounds like it could be really good,i think some cream would really bring it all together.
Hey bill!! Your cinnamon Danish adv recipe is this right?
Cinn dan 10%
Cotton candy 10%
Bavarian cream 3 - 6%
I made one batch and it was. Weird. Hahaha. Might have to redo it. It smells AWESOME but vapes awful
I'm assuming cotton candy is EM?
