Okay update:everything the same but changing nic to vg bumped S/H price to 31$

Add more flavors now??

S/H changed most likely because VG weighs more than the same amount of PG does. (A gallon of VG weighs about 10lbs compared to 8lbs for PG). However, you should be able to make up the difference by buying less of the PG locally from your source. You won't need nearly 500mL of it at all!

Any idea where the parcel might be currently on weight? I want more yummy recipes lol

Well, according to what I saw when I input a 2lb. 14oz. package in the International Shipping calculator yesterday...it said that would cost $33.25. So, you must slightly under that weight. But...really the difference in having only 120mL of Nic Base in VG instead of PG...shouldn't make that big of a difference in the weight!

Yea that's alright its better for the diy experience and I have no problem with that. Im thinking I might be able to squeeze a few more flavors here probably. Ill twinker with their website tomorrow.

Just think what would've happened to me if I had not joined the forum LOL. Thank you @JCinFLA for putting soo much time into this and eye opening suggestions. You are golden in my books!!! :D

Are you sure the only thing you changed was the Nic Base to VG instead of PG? Nothing else?
Yea I put everything as is and only swapped the nicotine and the bracket went from 21 to 31$. So im hoping its barely over 2lb and that would mean I can pack more flavors right?? To fill the 3lb box?? I would have to double check everything tomorrow as I am too wasted(sleep deprived) to do that atm though lol

Well...I'm going to take your list of flavorings and amounts you're ordering and input them into a WL shopping cart of my own! There's GOT to be something odd going on. Changing 120mL should make only a tiny difference in the weight! I'll let you know tomorrow what I find out! i might just give them a call tomorrow, too, since they're right here in FL where I am, and I've talked to them before. :D

Okay put down your guns! Sadly I made another mistake. So keeping everything as it is and just swapping the nicotine does not change shipping (still 21$ )

BUT if I add a single flavor after that the shipping goes to 31$.

I'm also going to talk to them about a possible discount code to pass along to you. They may give me one...might not. Can't hurt for me to ask.
Can I like the above post multiple times???


Okay so that means I get around 1lb more for 10$~ right??? What do you suggest? I'd get to hit more recipes this way right? Problem is that ill have to trial and error how many more flavors I can actually add here

Ah-Ha!!! You found it!

Being right at the weight limit for the $22.25 Shipping...Do you REALLY want that Graham cracker???? You could just swap it out for the same amount of TFA Sweetener, or your FW that 1 recipe called for!
Yea, no not the graham cracker. Im totally taking your word on its uselessness. What im thinking is I pay 33$ of shipping but that way be able to hit 2-3 (hopefully) more recipes???

Im not sure at the moment whether im being sensible or greedy

Nope...you can't. :D I'm pretty good at "working deals" though, so I'm going to give it my best shot tomorrow! Lord knows I've given them enough business, they ought to give me 1 for you!

Totally up to you! If it were me...yep, in a heartbeat I'd order more flavorings for only $10 ore shipping! Hang on and I'll weigh 1 of their 8mL vials of flavoring really quickly, so you can get an idea how many to try for.

An 8mL vial from them weighs .6 ozs. So based upon that, to be within the 3pound maximum for the increased shipping...you could try for another 20 vial...which would add 12 ozs. of weight. OR...if you think you might want to make more batches of any of those recipes...just get the 2oz (30mL) size of some of the ones on your list. Let me think on this a minute or 2.

BTW Great catch on Graham Cracker. That actually was the additional flavor that was accidentally added to the cart!!
