The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

On another note the temperature of the freezer matters:

0 f vs -20 f makes a difference, the colder, the less chance of degradation...

I have some 2 and 3 yr old Nic that looks like I just put it in there; I have a deep freeze that goes to -30f

Here is a link to a chemist that members here at ecf have relied on for years. Classwife just made this a stickly also at the top of the DIY thread.

Long Term Nic Storage

Thanks a bunch!! Read and bookmarked!

Any luck with this?

Yeah. I just don't use the calc for my own recipes. They don't come out the same as another calc I use for some reason. Gives me a starting point anyways so, tiz all good.

I've had a few tell me that.

I wonder if the versions the recipes were created in vs. the one a person is using at the time of mixing matters?

Quite possible as it's all mathematical formulas hummmm

Got a email from nude nicotine today. They stated. "it is apparent that nicotine base products will not be any more restricted than finished eliquids to obtain and utilize for the home DIY enthusiast and batch scale manufacturers alike."

 

[Frocket]

Uh, I thought the whole problem is that finished eliquid will be restricted.

Am I missing something?

Just a little tidbit I thought I'd leave here...

Nicopure Labs Challenges the FDA’s Deeming Rule - Nicopure Labs LLC.

I saw that too over on the Deeming thread. I didn't realize how big Halo was. Their manufacturing facility is pretty large.

I sent an email to VapersTek asking them if they were going to restock the TH nic. Theor response...

"Good day. Not at this time. But if you are needing some we can special make it for you. The cost will be $50.00 per liter. If you would like to order some, you can just let me know how many liters that you would like to purchase. At that time we can get an invoice for you to pay."

 

[hittman]

It sounds like they are afraid that they are going to get stuck with too much in stock with the FDA stuff going on.

I just spoke with a rep from vapor fi even though I don't use there products, he stated that there company is planning a lawsuit being that they have too much invested in the business.

Good for them,i hope every vape business no matter how big or small,all file lawsuits and keep the Fda busy in court for as many years as it takes to get them to understand,no matter what we aren't going away.

Here is a link to the Dr Siegel interview yesterday. Very informative.

So I ran out of my 4th 16 oz bottle of peanut brittle and pondered if I was going to make a 5th one. So what I did was I made up a 30 ml bottle of something else and vaped just that. Now I'm ready for more peanut brittle, just finished making the 5th 16 oz bottle.

I got that deal from Essential depot a few years ago,not sure what it runs now,but i got the gallon of each shipped for $59,and i thought it was a pretty good deal.However,a few months ago,Bulk apothacary ran a deal that got me a gallon of each for $36 shipped,so i would check both places and see which you can find the better deal at.
As for storage,a cool dark place seems to be the consenus on how to store the pg/vg.The jugs will have a date on them,roughly 2 years from when you get it,some think that is an expiration date,it is not,it is simply a retest date for the manufacturer,if they still have it on that date,they retest it and add another 2 years to it.

Hey @b.m., thanks for mentioning Bulk Apothecary. They have great prices on the PG & VG solutions. Quick question about their PG. They mention Bulk PG can be made as a byproduct of biodiesel production, which I already knew, but leads me to believe they are selling this type of PG. Was wondering if this type of PG gives off any unwanted flavor? Have you used any of their PG in your juices?

I haven't used any of it yet,as i still have quite a bit of my old stuff left,but there are several members here that use them,i believe Bills magic vapor uses Ba,as he has said he buys by the bucket from them,and i have never heard anyone complain of off tastes,so i would guess it's just as good as any other.

Just noticed that the BMV dropbox link is now 404. Is there an updated link that I missed?

This should be it.
