his juice, he pays $8 per 30ml + $2.99 for shipping, no matter how big his order, and he is happy with that.
I was happy with similar prices when we first started (three years ago) because... well, again compare it to cigarettes... he pays $11 total for what lasts me about 6 days, which would be about $60 in cigarettes. But, with Lannie making all my joose... my cost is about 30 cents for what Phil pays $11 for.

What's the temperature outside now, Rich.....uncomfortable to sleep?
75 outside, but 85 inside at 54% RH inside. Hot and sticky. Makes for a pretty crappy sleep. Down here in the basement (where the computers are located), it is only 77 degrees, but RH is 62%.

Well, hate to say it BUT...sounds like the basement is the place to be, sleeping or screwing around with the puter.

My t-stat is set at 77, A/C hasn't turned off for more than about 10 mins per cycle. Tomorrow is gonna be a SOB.....:devil:

Hate working in this shit. But, the sooner the school job is done, and a couple other small projects next week, I'm out of where for about 30+ days (i hope).

I assumed that was your strategy. You have a fan in the bedroom window, to move air....?
Fan is over by the headboard/nightstand because that's where the plug is. And the window only stays open if there is no thunderstorm in progress, which remind me... gotta check the doppler before I crash.

Have a good one, Dale. I gotta wrap this up soon too and crawl up on the bed. No kitty snuggles tonight - they are all outside in the cool and refuse to come back in.

I have to get up in the middle of the night tonight!
6:30 AM!

so early to bed for me.
Last night, due to sauna-like heat in the house and severe thunderstorms that arrived here at 1:30 AM (OK, technically this morning), I didn't get to sleep until around 3 AM then up again at 7:30 AM. I am hoping for slightly earlier than that tonight, even though the forecast has more severe storms supposedly showing up here around midnight.

I wonder why it is that your humidity is so low (compared to ours, of course), because whenever we get high humidity, it comes from the Gulf, which means it ran over the top of you to get to us. Obviously it did not come down to ground level until well after it passed you.

Inspected that catholic elementary school today, damn they have money....the best of everything in that building...and in surprisingly good condition. I was quite shocked, being about 12 yrs old, roofs usually go to hell quickly, but they have been maintaining it well, something I don't see often.....it's usually out of sight <-> out of mind with most people.

Must have been reading my mind, posted the answer prior to my post.

Oh, by the way, the scotchcake is delish...I added a lil caramel and a lil Caps V1 in a different bottle last night, they both taste good.

Phillip is trying to insist I don't do DIY juice, telling me I can't do it unless I buy one of those gadgets vape shops use to dispense ingredients when they mix juice. He also thinks there is a difference between standard milligrams and medical milligrams.
I think the stress at his job may be causing a disconnect between what you say and what he thinks. I know an oral syringe with markings on it should be accurate enough when I read up on how much of what to mix.

We obviously have very similar tastes then. Any chances your GF in EC is a redhead? :rolleyes:
With the concentrate info Lannie told me, there are all kinds of combinations of vaping goodness....BLISS I should say.....:teehee:
She is a mixtress extraordinaire, so stay in touch via PM. Oh, and I think we now have permission to share a really hot custard recipe from across the pond.

Correctamundo. Get a small syringe for those recipes that might be 1% of some flavor and a larger syringe for your nic/vg/pg. As long as you can do simple math (and I know you can), that is all you need for mixing. For example, if you are trying to fill a 60 mL bottle and your recipe calls for 10% X and 5% Y, then very simply, that is 6 mL of X and 3 mL of Y. Given that almost all flavors use PG as the carrier, subtract that amount out from the total PG you want, such as: 50/50 VG/PG mix (if you so desire) would be flavors plus 30 mL PG minus the flavors (in this case,30-9= 21 mL PG) + 30 mL VG... oh, and the nic, depending on what you buy and from whom, might be VG or PG, so figure that in as well. You do not need any fancy equipment to do this. And if you are off by a mL or so, it really doesn't matter that much because how you make it depends entirely on YOUR taste, not some friggin' chemist somewhere. And if Phil still doesn't like the idea, you do it for you and let him keep paying for his pina colada until one day he wakes up and notices that you are making some good shit and he is the one missing out.

Indeed....it's what most used, until the scales were used widely, which I prefer, but certainly not necessary.

Think I paid like 12 bucks for a scale on Amazon....goes to .01...and UP.
He was looking at dispensers online. The cheapest he found is $188.00. I guess that means I won't be making his. But, I see no reason not to make my own. He is a stubborn one, and I'm not going to force him to vape anything I mix.

I'm gonna have fun this coming spring, if I decide to build a chicken coop. First, it has to be snake resistant, but I can buy the wire mesh I need for that. Standard chicken wire won't be good enough. Then, buying chickens and feed. The price of eggs is not going down any time soon .

Should have added this: Ages ago I dated a really sweet lady from Columbia whose hair was jet black (natural), so not everyone down there is brown. Got my Latino friend to teach me to say "comu tu estas, Leenda" (that's phonetic, not spelled properly) for when I called her.

Could happen....I like animals too, wouldn't want the lil Mink getting nailed by a rattler....although I'm not sure if their allergic to the venom....Prolly are, I assume.
Mongoose devlope some immunity to rattlesnake venom, but I don't think I'd want one as a pet. I don't get along with weasels.

What animals are immune to rattlesnake venom?

The hedgehog (Erinaceidae), the mongoose (Herpestidae), the honey badger(Mellivora capensis), the secretary bird (Sagittarius serpentarius), and a few other birds that feed on snakes are known to be immune to a dose of snake venom.
