Me either, though I got this one of yours. It has been screwy since the reboot.
I've been having lots of irritating little issues like that since the unannounced VU "vacation" around Easter. Some aspects of links and images have changed for the negative.
I know they're aware of bugs going around, but I don't know anything more. Hoping it all resolves. Some people are having really bad issues, so mine is minor in comparison.
LOL, that was cute!
Me neither. You all must think I'm hibernating in spring?
Maybe he is hibernating?

I ordered it in VG - I found out the really hard way that I apparently cannot tolerate 100% PG... I didn't mean to go 100%, it was a mistake, that I didn't realize until after vaping it for three months and my head nearly exploded.
Okay it wasn't as dramatic as all that but I had been using about 70/30 PG/VG before that, who knew that 30% of VG made all the difference in the world.
OK one more question: What FA flavors are good all by themselves? I'd like to have a few stand-alones ready to go while I let some of my other mixes steep.

I'll start that list!
Cola !!
Peppermint
Irish Cream
Tiramisu
Rum
Cuban Supreme
Vienna Cream if you like eggnog
Anise if, well...if you like anise
Great to know! I LOVE ANISE!!! I'm actually one of the few that enjoys black licorice, and you've listed 2 or 3 on my must get list.

Kinda depends on your tastes @Kingboomer . What are your likes/dislikes on flavors. Fuji Apple is an awesome bright Apple! Lemon silicy rocks hard...Oh so good with some custard! Read HIC's reviews here...

That will help you out some.

@Kingboomer ...she will too. All here are great. Teresa and I have shared a lot mailing flavors and supplies back and forth. I only diy for myself and son n law. I have plenty of 10-13 ml. Of flavors that I love, but use little of...for example fa cardamom, walnut, kiwi, strawberry (accidentally put two 10 ml. In cart), chocolate, blackcurrant. I don't share my vanillas or creams! Have lots of both limes too. I'd be happy to send some your way....cookie, meringue....maybe more, gotta look. Pm me.

Son n laws New vapes...
HICS Prickly pear margarita and..
Candy Island
3% TFA cantaloupe
1.5% FA Custard
1% FA Papaya
.5% FA Mango
This tastes very "candyish". Fyi tfa cantaloupe does not taste like cantaloupe....sweet candyish tasting.
No fa cantaloupe Bet it would be more fresh fruit with 1-1.5% FA cantaloupe vs. The tfa. Think I'd even up the papaya to 1.5% any who try do tell me about fa cantaloupe. I think these four fa flavors would rock together!

Still waiting, o my! V1, v2, or a bit of both?If ELiquid Mart would get their collective heads out of their butts, no. Got a big bottle coming when they decide to wake up.
@wllmc could teach some of these vendors a thing or two about shipping!!

You're son in law has pretty good taste. I mixed up your Candy Island and I like it. It tastes like one of those colorless/clearish hard candy balls of undefined flavor.Son n laws New vapes...

I tried to like it twice. It wouldn't let me.
I agree Cindy that is the approach that I took about 10 days ago . I found 4 or 5 recipes that I wanted to play with adn ordered all the flavors for those and then looked at the list and added a few more that I thought I would be interested in mixing with my originals. I also bought a couple of specialty flavors from Mama J's that I thought would be idiout proof if I had trouble with the recipe's. I convinced my wife that DIY was going to save us money in the long run so I need to have this work.I asked that same question when I first started DIY, then ended up with a bunch of flavors I hardly ever used, while needing a bunch of others I didn't have. What worked for me was to initially pick some recipes and order stuff for those. From that, I started coming up with flavors that I never wanted to be ot of, and I know that list won't match anybody else's, so won't even go there.

Uh oh! @Huckleberried - I have competition =)
Well mixed up my first DIY recipe this afternoon with my 13 year old daughters help. I am legally blind so I do not trust myself to count the drops on small batches. I did HIC's Hawaii'n Pineapple Upside Downcake the only problem was that I forgot to order the caramel, so I added more brown sugar to the recipe. I then found I wanted a little more pineapple to come out so I increased it and I am enjoyng it will mix a 30ml bottle tomorrow and let it steep for a week. Does anyone know how well Game over custard works in place of Capella's

Its a lot different than caps. Id suggest making a small batch of game over at the recommended % to get an idea of the profile. its super easy to mix with. you could use it in place of in a lot of recipes. just try it you will see
I love FA white peach on its own. It tastes just like what I imagine James' Giant Peach did.
I may just take you up on that offer @Daintanee and @Teresa P! I'm still getting the funds together to get nic, pg/vg and syringes/pipettes tho, so that'll be some time. Thanks all for the great suggestions!

I only use the VT no throat hit and I find there is still a slight hit in the back of my throat at 3 MG.

Thanks
that's good to know....I ordered the TH one, but also a small sample of the regular one....and I use about 12-13mg so maybe it'll be enough for me.Boy this vaping thing is never ending innit? Ever since my first day I had visions of grape, green apple, cherry, etc dancing in my head but every time I try fruit vapes, it just doesn't work for me....but now I'm thinking maybe it's the nic and that peppery taste that's killing it and I might enjoy fruit vapes with the VT nic because grape and pepper just don't go well together.
good lord.
Am I going to have to make an order of FA fruit flavors? (All I have right now are a bunch of TFA fruit flavors that I used once and then they went into my "meh" box)
And I thought I'd save money giving up the cigs.
I hear you. I had the same issue with my mixes. Good way to check is to mix up you flavors and base without the nic and give it a try. If you like it then add your nic. If the harshness comes back then certainly is your nic. After I felt the throat hit with my nic I contacted VT because I thought I got the wrong one. Upon receiving my second batch of no throat hit I realized there will be a small amount of hit. I think it's mainly due to my sub ohm tanks because in other tanks it's barely noticeable plus as I have come down from 24 to 3 nic I am more sensitive to nic now. Definitely not a bad thing.

I never liked fruity vapes when I started DIY, not even FA's fruits. I figured I just didn't like vaping fruit, so I mostly stuck with fancy coffees at first.
When I got VT nic and tried fruits again, my hobby definitely expanded! It was like a flavor veil lifted, and suddenly fruits tasted right. I can still use lousy nic and get good coffees, but I can't get good fruits with it.

Darnit all to hell, I'm gonna have to make room in my diy drawer for FA fruit flavors now, I just know it!!
@ouzel, I learned AFTER pif'ing flavors I thought I didn't like, to not get rid of flavors. My taste buds still change/heal from smoking. I very much enjoy flavors that I didn't really care all that much for when I started out. Fruits have fallen into my daily rotation. I never thought I'd like fruit flavors. Admittedly, they are better with the VT nic, but everything has been, lol.
Yes, because there's a possibility that when the FDA regulations come out it might be hard to buy (or prohibitively expensive).
It goes in cycles based off of negative news reports and states getting greedy looking for tax $$. I'm seriously thinking about getting a 6 liter jug of 100mg/ml in VG base to add to my stash in the basement freezer, just in case of a Zombie attack. I just hope they ain't Vaping Zombies, then I'd be fucked.

I was wondering if you've tried nude nicotine,and how you'd say it rates with Vaper's Tek nicotine.....is there really such a difference?
Have you tried this one? http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-light-american-cigarette-replacement.2927/
I'm not into tobacco vapes at all, but I was thinking of mixing some for my nephews - I got them vaping for about 2-3 months, then they went back to smoking, and can't stand vaping food.
