Hey guys, does NicRiver have a code for non hollidays? Thanks for any help. I need a jug of VG.



$60 + shipping at ED is probably a bit cheaper. - http://www.essentialdepot.com/product/CUBE-4VG.html

Bulk Apothecary may be cheaper yet - https://www.bulkapothecary.com/raw-ingredients/other-ingredients-and-chemicals/glycerin/

yeah, prime for a gallon is pretty tough to beat. I didn't see the cubes in that link on amazon that was posted but that sounds better for sure. I have never bought from bulk apothecary but I know some like it and it is often cheaper than ED or Prime. My last VG order was 3 gallons from Nic River last December (haven't started using it yet) at $13 per gallon, a few other items, 25% off and free shipping. I am good for another year or two.

So the TFA DX Peanutbutter is definitely different. It doesn't work as well in the Peanutbutter Cookie. I think it feels way creamier almost to the point of feeling waxy on my tongue. I'll try it in something else because it doesn't taste bad. So if anybody ever thought to try it, think regular=dryer, DX=creamier. I really should try them side by side. But that will make me want to buy a bunch more peanutbutter flavorings to compare lol.

I also felt some kinda way about TFA's peanut butter. The first time I mixed PBC, I used DIYFS's Expert Peanut Butter. It tasted pretty great, but is natural and has an oiliness to it that I didn't like. So I ordered TFA for the next mix. Talk about being underwhelmed. I think I'd have to double the amount of peanut butter flavor in PBC in order to actually taste it.

Am not sure if it was the original or the DX version, but either way, it's not a favorite.

I have the regular, TFA Peanut Butter & I use it as high as 8% in one or two cases. I've not really been disappointed by the flavor (but then I almost always add some AP), but it will fade somewhat after a while.

Well that's just about right - @Matty Vapes recipe calls for 4% peanut butter. I'll try doubling it, and I have some mixed-down FW Reindeer Poop that I use when I need AP. Good suggestions, thank you!

Remember the glycube sale last year? I think we got it for around $35 total? We'll probably never see that again. Prices are going up!
I ordered during that sale and it's dwindling. I mix for three people otherwise it would have lasted a lot longer.

I keep getting emails from ED saying "Buy now, our prices are going up 20%" , "Starting X/2018 we will be charging tax". They can fuck off with all that.

NicRiver shouldn't be too bad since they aren't flooded with sale orders. I want to buy a lot of weight and they have free shipping over $50 I think.

It's my first time noticing regular Inawera flavors cost has lowered at BCF ($2.49 per 10ML, used to be $2.99). I usally ordered them from NR because of that. For 30ML it used to be $5.49 at NR and $7.49 at BCF (Now $5.49). I'd rather buy them from you guys @Roundhouse so thanks for being competitive. I got five new ones in my cart to try :). Again sincerely, thanks BullCity.

I tried this Blueberry Cake a day early cause I couldn't wait. The flavor is on point it's definitely a cheesecake. Slight throat hit that would probably smooth out with a longer steep.

Blueberry Cake

Blueberry Wild 7%
Cheesecake (Graham Crust) 5%
Sweet Cream 4%

Definitely adding this to my rotation. It's pretty damn good!

Made a 60ml last night and for whatever reason, ended up filling the bottle all the way to the top. So shaking the bottle does nothing. Now i think i'm vaping mostly flavor concentrates. smh
I'm always afraid of doing that, so I always keep an empty large bottle in case I do. I keep my VG & PG bottles, so I always have something on hand.

Also placed an order @Bullcityvapors so I can make @wildgypsy70 Creme Brûlée with Sugar Cone. I also ordered the WF Oats & Cream Cookie to make her Crack Pie (at least I’m a little closer :D I still need the OOO powdered sugar & Cream Milky o_O)
Woot!

Mixed up 60ml of Lemon Tart v4 by voodootroll on ELR by mistake, as I wanted to make 60ml of My Lemon Tart v4 by viralLegioN on ELR :D don’t get me wrong the Lemon Tart v4 by voodootroll is great just needs to steep but the My Lemon Tart v4 by viralLegioN is great as a sNv.
Actually just tried the Lemon Tart by voodootroll & it’s good as a sNv too! Yay! Made a discovery it doesn’t have to steep :D actually you can’t steep it for too long as the Lemon fades.

So, apparently it’s been too long since I looked at my BCF shopping cart and all the goodies I had set to order when I got the chance went the way of the dodo.
Any chance I could pick everyone’s brains about some staple flavors that I shouldn’t miss out on when it comes to custards/creams/cakes flavorings? I know @Mykreign gave me a few names of some awhile back while wanting to create a whipped cream filled long john (eclair), but I can’t seem to find the posts about it. I’m mainly looking to recreate G2’s flavor “White Bull” which is a vanilla/banana custard type of deal, but I’m actually able to buy more flavors since I no longer have a sucubus taking most of my money...I can finally get some buttercream or vanilla cake or anything of that sort...getting kind of burnt out on fruit flavors and looking to dip my toes in the water of layering flavors using creams and cakes and custards, but as usual, the selection to choose from is ridiculously long (yeah yeah, “That’s what she said”)...so, any gentle nudges towards some flavors over others or just point blank “You HAVE to have this flavor” that anyone can think of...feel free to lemme know. I’m also having to refill some that I went through a lot faster than I intended (Fuji Apple, all my strawberries, etc)...thinking of just ordering 30ml bottles from now on...they’re a bit easier to use when trying to squeeze a very small amount of juice, since the plastic bottle has some more give than the 10-15ml bottles that can be hard as hell to squeeze an amount accurately with. Thanks in advance!

One staple flavor for me is CAP Vanilla Whipped Cream. I also have been really happy with CAP Vanilla Custard v2, but I've only been messing around with it a couple of times. But I order the vanilla Whipped Cream in 4 oz bottles because I use it in so many recipes!

It should not be so easy for an online cart to hit over $100, considering the items being purchased are (typically) less than $5 a bottle.
But the good part is that I can now afford it, along with being able to order plenty of wire for my Alien Coils and a few new Sony VTC5a’s.
I forgot what it was like being single again...now if I can just try to figure out this “getting used to sleeping alone in the bed” issue, I should be set!

Oh, I’m sorry......? I’m hoping it’s a good thing for you. It sounds like it will definitely be a good thing for your flavor/coil building stash! Good luck figuring out the sleeping thing.....I can’t sleep alone or with my man, so......stupid hot flashes.....

Well, it’s not the best of circumstances...got cheated on and had to move out, but luckily, I was the one that bought (or brought) anything into the apartment. The look on her face walking into an apartment with no furniture or beds or coffee tables/end tables, chest of drawers, the modem and all cable boxes as well as all the TV’s was priceless. I left 2 plates, 2 spoons, 2 forks, 2 knives and a couple of fold out chairs sitting in the living room...no beds or couches or chairs (that didn’t come out of a nylon bag) was priceless...I just wish I could’ve been there the next day when the electric company shut off the utilities that I “accidentally” forgot to tell her about along with my call to the main office that our apartment no longer had renters insurance which is a requirement of living there...oops!
Kinda felt bad about literally taking her daughters bed and putting it in the dumpster in front of our building, but then realized her daughter was 20 years old and hadn’t paid a single nickel for rent or food in 8-9 months, so, that bad feeling melted away pretty easily.
Hell may hath no fury as a woman scorned, but hell also hath no fury as the guy with the credit score to not have to have co-signers or have to pay an assload of money up front because of her bad credit :)

Had a couple of the creams already along with a couple of the crust flavors, but still managed to overspend on my flavors...I don’t pay enough attention to how low my flavors are getting, so, I went ahead and sprung for the 30ml bottles of everything (including a couple of restocks):

Hopefully, these will get my foot in the door in the world of more decadent flavors. Will have to get paid again before ordering any more of these types of flavors.

Long John stuff, just off the top of my head...

Banana Custard filling (Yellow)

5.0% Cap vanilla custard V1
3.0% WF Banana Puree
1.0% FA Vanilla (Madagascar)
0.5% HS Cream

Whipped Cream filling (White)

3% TFA Bavarian Cream
2% INW Custard
2% CAP Vanilla Whipped cream
1% FA Marshmallow
1% FA Cream Fresh

If you want to add the donut/pastry aspect to it, I think @wildgypsy70 has more experience with donut than I.

@Mykreign I have a honey maple donut that you might like posted here. I always stick with these three ingredients for a base:

FA Zeppola - 1.5 - 2%
TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust - 1.5%
WF Deep Fried Pastry Dough - 1%

Sometimes FA Joy at like 0.5% if I want a real fried note. Then vanilla (I usually stick with INW Shisha Vanillla at 1%) and add whatever you want after that! Maybe even some CAP VC1 if you want it denser at like 1.5%

HTH

The only donut recipe i've vaped was Bronuts. That was one of the nastiest juices i've ever had.
Yeah.....I wasn’t much of a fan either. I think the FA chocolate donut is waaaaaaaaay better than Caps. The recipe could possibly be salvaged.....but if he FA can’t do it, nothing can.
