What Ya Vaping/Mixing Today? (Part V) 2021 - 2022

Thank you, Rocky. I suppose I could make a 10 ml tester while waiting for OOO. Somethings better than nothing.

I order directly from OOO, and there shipping is speedy, the only thing I don’t care for is the rubber dropper top bottles…

Yes, I agree. I wonder if the glass droppers can be replaced by something like a European dropper bottle cap and if the caps alone are available?

Nah, I’ve just been rebottling into PET bottles I got from River Supply, glad I bought a lot of um in different sizes while I could…. haven’t found a good replacement supply at same prices…

Heads up for anyone wanting to make that Flakey Filth Fest. The Flan just got restocked at BCF.

The only reason I happened to have to OOO Pie Crust on hand was because my daughter wanted dill pickle flavor from them and I threw a few more flavors in my cart while I was there to make it worth while. I made her a “movie night” themed ejuice pack for Xmas (e.g. pickle, buttered popcorn, licorice, etc). But when I order bakery flavors, that’s all me, lol, I KNEW I would find a use for it! :wink:

You really need to know the exact size of the threading on the bottle before you can order replacement caps.

There are several different sizes, and they look very similar. You are either going to have to measure what you have, or look back on what you’ve bought, and hope they specified the size/thread count. (Most vendors don’t, unless you buy from someplace like the two links I’ve used for examples here.)

Size examples here:

As for the “by the drop” inserts (if you can find them…especially for a 15ml or 30ml), you’ll need to go with a cap without a Phenolic insert:

Personally, I was never able to find the inserts used on the MF (lotus) bottle that ECX used to sell.

And before you ask /chuckles, there isn’t an ‘industry standard’ when it comes to lid size. Of the bottles of retail liquid I’ve accumulated, I learned very early on (while cleaning), that there are several sizes used. Which indicates: they just buy whatever bottle is the cheapest and available at the time. They don’t care about thread size, etc. They simply buy however many bottles (with whatever lid/dropper) that they need for any given run.

18-400
20-400
22-400
These seem to be more common, but that’s NOT a guarantee.

If you get lucky, and it’s 18 or 20-400, check here:

Capital idea my friend, my memory is not up to par these days but when I hear an old obscure song they come flooding back.

Sorry I wouldn’t know off hand but it looks like @Rocky02852 has already helped you with your question. Thanks @Rocky02852 for helping out here.

It’s amazing that music and aromas can trigger memories the way they do. Memories get tied to those two things deep in our brains. A friend and I play music (pre-COVID days) at Assisted Living facilities. When we play certain old rock and roll songs, certain people really perk up and you can see the light in their eyes return. It is a great feeling to see that happen.

I totally agree with you. My wife used to work at a day centre for the elderly and disabled and I would sometimes pop in if I was passing by. I remember seeing a room full of elderly people many with Alzheimer’s all sitting in chairs nodding off to sleep but as soon as one of the staff played some old singalong records or played the piano they would wake up and start singing along remembering all of the words to the song.

How is that Dill Pickle, anyway? I have a friend looking for that flavor and it’s not something you often see from other brands.

Honestly, I would pass on it. It has a strong dill pickle smell, but it tastes more like a sweet pickle. TPA used to have one years ago that was actually dill, but I can’t find it anymore unfortunately

I would love to have a plain dill flavor. The only flavorist I know in the states who would/could make that would be Shane of vsoflavors.com
I suppose if he had enough requests it would be worth his efforts. He has fresh basil, that I know.

I would buy that!!!

COFFEE LOVERS , REJOICE . New research suggests that people who drink two to three cups of coffee a day—caffeinated or not—may have a lower chance of dying …
So vaping Coffee must be 10x better, right :ok_hand:
