Enjoy the moment.is right - I gots to chill before I crawl out of my skin!!!!
Could you answer a question for me and Sarah she is trying to mix her own juice but she has already put 18% flavor in her vg/pg and nicotine base and still doesn't taste her flavor she is making a 120ml bottle how much more flavor should she add

What recipe is she following?
Some recipes need to steep awhile before the flavor comes out, also
If you are just mixing a bunch of flavors together and hoping it will taste good, chances of success are very spotty
She is doing one flavor apricot concentrate to a 50%vg/50%pg 24mg nicotine for a 120ml bottle
One flavor. Apricot. Added to a PG/VG mixture with a nicotine strength of 24. With 13 ml of flavor, I cannot taste it, after I let it sit for 2 days. I added another 5 ml of flavor today.

She should probably be closer to 2.5 - 5 % flavoring, depending on the brand. Brand does make a huge difference.
Too much can sometimes mute flavor, believe it or not
Vape Mall flavor concentrate.

Hmm, don't know that brand, it is probably bulk bought from one of the big flavor makers and repackaged under that name
I know MFS brand is rebottled TFA; Mt Baker flavors are repackaged FW
It may be. The site says nothing about where they got it from.
I was thinking about the same, or close to the same app their using at ELR to figure out weight, when mixing. I understand a chimp can copy and paste....
Their definately rebottling some other companies concentrates.
So is there anything happening on here tonight?
Not much, yet.
I was talking about furniture in the Refugees thread, with other refugees....
I really need to get rid of my Refugee sticker doohickey... I do not believe I have ever posted in that Foogee thread.
Got rid of moine a couple years ago.
The last new furniture I got was a chest of drawers. Still got it after more than 20 years, even tho the slider tracks wore out in the first year.
Oh, I got a new mattress and box spring a few years ago. The frame, headboard, and footboard don't hafta be new, unless they are really bad.
Only thing I use is the frame, screw the incidentals......
So who do I ask to remove it? I have totally forgotten who put it there in the first place...
Don't we all spill a bit of blood now and then?
You have to ask Joe or Smokie.
I don't recall ever shedding blood in bed, nor wanting someone else's.
So you're saying ya just never got banged up enough for it to leak through the bandages?
Rained like hell again last night for about two minutes. Today the temp was in the upper 80's. Guess all the rain is finally cooling off the heat radiating from all the rocks boulders and rocky mountains.
Never been banged up actually. Most of my day is sitting at the computer in the office. Haven't hurt myself doing that (yet), but who knows, anything is possible.
Here's a funny one for you: Yesterday the forecast was for clear and NO chance of rain. That was as of midnight before I turned the computer off. By 4:00 AM Lannie heard the thunder, then the rain started. It was still raining when I got up and the forecast still said clear with 0% chance of precipitation. But by noon, the clouds started moving off and the rain quit. I checked the weather forecast again and they had changed it to "thunderstorms and 50% chance of rain." AFTER THE FACT! Sky cleared and no more rain until about 11 PM.
That's good rationale for the weather service, 50% of 100% ain't bad....they do the same here. Only 20% means heavy flooding, 100% doubt we get any. But if I was a troll weatherman, I'd stick with 50% chance, every day.
I guess I have blood stains on the mattress because I have always taken chances... you know, that "climb every mountain" bullshit. And cut trees (they can cut back if you don't get out of the way quick enough) and wang on things in the shop... chain saws, table saws, band saws, saber saws, jig saws... sooner or later, you're gonna get cut. The list goes on forever.... OH! And then there's things like having my legs cut off to get new titanium knee joints installed (this body has had dozens of bloody operations). Even now that I am a really oldt phart and no longer climb mountains and swing from trees (like those chimps who copy and paste bananas)
I still have a philosophy that if I don't bleed a little every day, I'm simply not working hard enough. Sooner or later, some of that leaks onto the mattress.
Was up at Flagstaff this morning to figure out why lighting circuits and contactors were overheating at that growing joint we inspected a few months ago. They had their company sparky there at the facility. I think the labor might be indulging in their products during work hours.
Without taking the thermal imaging camera out of the truck, I noticed 14ga wire attached to 20 amp breakers, drawing 16.5 amps. When I did bring in the TI cam, it was showing 198F at the cable insulation.....unbelievable.
There were five guys there trying to figure this out...blows my mind. BUT, they paid $1,200 bucks for me to looks at wires for 30 minutes. I was home before noon....

Oh I'm sure anyone living on a homestead has bled a time or three. I was talking about buying a used mattress with blood stains....just not my cup-o-tea....I guess I have blood stains on the mattress because I have always taken chances... you know, that "climb every mountain" bullshit.

Damn! I thought everyone knew that 14 ga wire is only good for 15 Amps maximum, and a 20 Amp breaker requires 12 ga wire (you can use 12,10, 8... but NOT 14 ga in a 20 Amp circuit). Overheating and, eventually, a fire is likely from such bad wiring practices.
Like you, I don't want to sleep on any one else's blood.Oh I'm sure anyone living on a homestead has bled a time or three. I was talking about buying a used mattress with blood stains....just not my cup-o-tea....
Y it didn't catch fire is beyond me.
Did you at least notice some melted insulation on those wires?
Yes, when I removed a cover from a pull box, all the wiring was the same color, including the neutrals.
Back in the day... (heavy sigh) ... when I was an office worker (you know, all the electronic engineering stuff, weather man stuff, etc.), I still spent my weekends up the mountains, down the cliffs, skiing the black diamonds, spelunking the caves... yes, even as an office type with no cows or horses, I routinely got bruised and bloody. It's just the way I lived...
OK, nitey nite. Don't work too hard. Catch ya later....
I've done my share of bleeding, and am still able to control cuts bleeding to certain extent. My side of the bed is bloodfree. Phillip's side, however, has it's share of blood stains.I guess I have blood stains on the mattress because I have always taken chances... you know, that "climb every mountain" bullshit.

I view furniture as a consumable not an investment.
Kinda like clothes?

For my wiring all is 12 ga if it has a receptacle on it. I will use 14ga for lighting only circuits, but calculate the load as if all bulbs in the fixtures were 100w incandescent and go for an absolute max of 12 amps if everything is on.
A business building just down the road just went through remodelling. I got the conduit they were getting rid of. I could not believe they had stranded wire in it, when the place was a burger joint. That stuff was 16ga at best. I put 12ga through it when I used the conduit for lighting and incidentals for outdoors.
Nope
