3 line informal labels with a P-Touch. The color labels I make with a color laser printer. I print on full 8-1/2 x 11 label sheets and hand cut the labels out. Can be used multiple times, or I can put about 20 labels or more on a sheet. The nice looking ones are a fairly serious artsy/craftsy effort, but fun using adobe softwares and my own designs.
Has anyone used Heartlandvapes for TFA flavorings? Their prices on 4 oz sizes seems really good and the order I placed with them was shipped quite quickly and the packaging was very well done.
A friend of mine wants a menthol juice. I dont care for menthol and i have never vaped it so i dont really know where to start. I smelled the juice he is using now and it smells like a sweet spearmint. Would spearmint sweet cream sweetener and menthol be a good place to start? What he has almost smelled like wrigleys spearmint gum. Or what would be a good starting point for a menthol juice?
If you use Koolada that gives you the same freshness as menthol but without any taste. Use sparingly.
Infinite variety of menthol juices out there. Menthol is a strong flavoring, but can be mixed with many juices .Here's a recipe or two:
Cool Breeze
Watermelon - 9%
Blueberry - 7%
Menthol - 4%
Raspberry - 4%
Lemon Lime - 2%
Koolada - 2%
Cotton Candy - 2%
Watermelon Menthol Surprise
Watermelon - 12%
Sweetener - 5%
Watermelon Candy - 4%
Lemon - 2%
Orange Cream - 2%
Sweet and Tart - 2%
Menthol - 2%
Koolada - 1%
As you can see, menthol can easily be added to the cool fruits to achieve any flavoring you might like. You can also go the mint method by adding wintergreen, peppermint, mint candy, etc. All make for a great menthol juice. Menthol alone is pretty plain, but spiced up with these other cooler flavors, is quite nice. Good luck!

Yeah I've just got a brother p-touch. Couple things I saw reading reviews etc. that might be good to watch out for is 1) battery consumption and 2) cut options. Apparently some of the current models are bad about eating up the batteries even when it is powered off. I've been pulling 1 row of batteries when I'm done so that doesn't happen. And as far as cut options -- some of the models have a few more cut options, such as a mode where it doesn't automatically feed and cut after each print. It means you have to cut each label yourself with scissors or something after you print several, but you don't waste as much of the ribbon/tape as "margin".

I'm looking at Brother P-Touch label makers. Which model do you have that does 3 line lables? The ones I've looked at only do 2 lines. Thanks.
I use the P-touch PT-1900. Prints 4 lines, but displays only 2 lines via LCD. Auto tape cutter and 8 type sizes and styles. I use it with 6 re-chargeable batteries. With 1,000 charge cycles, these batteries will be dead long after I am! I use the TZ 1/2" laminated tape, black on white, but there are many choices. These label makers are great and I use them for all sorts of projects. Good luck!
I came very close to buying one of these (a PT2030AD), because it was one that wasn't "dinged" for eating batteries. Reading the reviews it looks like it does have at least some cut options (some people mention printing several at a time and then cutting by hand to avoid the waste). It also comes with an AC adapter:

It will take cartridges up to .7" wide.
I did end up picking a different one because I have some other labeling needs as well and couldn't resist the temptation to get one I could connect to a PC. But the PT2030AD was on my short list and it's a bit cheaper but appears to be a good one.

BTW I saw an announcement on TFA's site that they are discontinuing the Orange (Sweet) flavor on March 1st. They do give info on where you can get it, and I looked, but if you want to get it from TFA might want to get your order in.
BCV order in!!! Sweet and tart smells identical to smarties candy, like completely spot on...my sweetener is a little crystallized due to the frigid temps here in PA(like it's so cold out, it stings/burns)...better warm up by weekend, I'm sort of tired of making myself into Michelin / stay puff marshmallow woman to work outside in it! Off to mixing I go!!!!
What I got today....
Dx banana cream
Fruit circles
Sweetener
Watermelon
Sweet and tart

wow first time with Sweet and Tart? cool!
are you gonna try Bill's starburst/bubbleburst etc.? they're spot on!
Tonight's mixing....all trials, fruit loops with cream, butterscotch swirl, a boosted clone(whatever that is???? I don't know, it sounded good though) subbing malted milk in place of dairy, so hoping for strawberry malt type mix, banana-strawberry malt....tomorrow I may give Bill's starbursts a go
I've ordered flavorings many times from Heartland Vapes. They have 30 ml flavorings too in the DIY section on their web site. All flavorings come well labeled and packaged very well.

What boosted are you trying? I cant seem to get that full cake fill your mouth goodness
this is the description of the "boosted" by boosted This is the original Boosted E-Juice flavor. Some say it taste like a strawberry milkshake. However, it's constantly becoming known for changing flavor.
