just realised how wasteful ive been

[emba]

it only just struck me, just got back from the shop to pick up a few beers and looked at the chewing gum, there was one there which was "citrus pear" good idea i thought, so ive mixed some up (not tried yet, that lemon needs to steep a bit to get the best out of it) but after mixing it i thought about all the car crash flavour combos ive made and then disposed of, every one of them with nicotine in, why oh why dont i test flavours in a no nicotine form before i go wasting the most expensive component of eliquid!

tell me im not the only wasteful fool whos done this!

I did it about a dozen times before I had the same revelation!

I learned something for if/when I start mixing so it's not a waste

I test new flavours without nic and when i think its just about right i test it again with nic to see how the flavours meld with the throathit as the two can be quite different experiences.

We've all done it. My neighbour Gary was my route out - he vaped quite a bit of menthol flavour and I'd souse the frankenjuice in this and give it to him. But - he's now not only given up smoking but just about given up vaping too - he says he has a vape now once or twice a week. A result for him, but it means I have to be more careful when 'creating'. My last 'disaster' was thankfully 5 ml and my 'ever so difficult' mix I have been making up in constituent parts - so nothing will be wasted.

I always mix up 10ml bottles with Nic. Luckily I've not had too many disasters and now I'm down to 4% it really doesn't hurt too much if I do make a monster

Sensible

I couldn't imagine ever giving up vaping, its so much more exciting than smoking, however, its an option we may all have to face soon

im totally using this method from now on. and as for quitting vaping, i dont see it happening, ive been actively lowering my nic content so i can vape more without the feeling that ive consumed 40-50 cigs worth of nic a day, i think i could easily cut out the nic if it came to that, and i dont see them banning PG or VG for any reason, or id just move to china or mexico or something where theyll never ban it

also another revelation for the day, eat some miracle berry tablets and vape just as a treat, it could be interesting. for those who dont know what the miracle berry is see here: http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/ab3f/

and i just thought of the best flavour that doesnt actually exist, yuzu fruit, its a small citrus fruit that only grows in japan and as it happens yuzu sake is my favourite drink in the world (despite being INSANELY expensive) imagine if someone took all the best parts of every citrus fruit ever and smashed them together, its amazing
