    We are just glad you are alright, comp.. No stress, ok?  Take the time you need to get settled again.  We've missed you, is all.  Glad you're ok and out of the grips of dealing with the mentally ill.  Hope you guys can recover and return to a normal life.  I know it's rough. Good to hear from you.

    I don't use to many FW flavorings, but have noticed the chocolates they carry are very dark. Yes I would still go at least 20. If you want a lighter color Chocolate then you may want to try The Flavor Apprentice (TFA). When it comes to chocolate and coffee flavors are dark by nature. The Caramel from TFA is a med tan color. I think it has good flavor as well.
     
    The darker color flavors will burn out coils faster, but it is the flavor that really matters. You know when it has too much flavor if it has a chemical after taste.

    I'll toss you a bone Tug... As a rule do not go below 20% on any flavoring to start, except Tobacco flavors. On high VG mixes that rule changes to 25%.

    True point, Comp... graduated cylinders are great for mixing anything larger than a 30ml bottle, but when mixing small batches (5-30ml) I rarely use my graduated cylinders and just measure straight into the bottle, using 1ml, 3ml, 5ml. 10ml, and/or 20ml syringes.  I opted for a larger assortment of syringes so I could measure VG/PG/Nicotine "in one pull"... nothing worse than trying to count out 18ml of VG (for a 30ml bottle), using a 3ml syringe, and getting interrupted by the phone ringing... and trying to remember "was that 12 or 15 ml I just put in the bottle?" after you get off the phone, lol
    Agreed, pipettes aren't ideal for accurate measuring, but they are cheap (can get 100+ for a couple bucks), and do a good job of topping-off a graduated cylinder or for counting drops (on those really small batches).  They're disposable, too... so that makes them a winner in my book... less things to wash/dry when I'm done mixing

    I had a job today that was about 3 miles down this two track today. LOL The home owners son that drives a Redi-Mix truck in a city said that it was not possible to get one to his cabin. I told him to tell his son that us hillbillies can get our trucks in anywhere. LOL It was a nice ride out in the sticks. This is just the strait part and it turn several times.

    Since I've moved away from "commercially manufactured juices", and mix my own (DIY), I've not had any issues with stains on my teeth (or in my tanks).  The flavorings I use do not contain food-colorings or additives.  I think @Jeffb is right... you're experiencing staining due to food color added to the juice to give it a pleasing color in the bottle.
    Many companies do this... Chocolate should be brown... Strawberry should be red... Blueberry should be blue... when in reality, very few flavorings are the color you expect, and most of them are, in reality, clear or slightly tinted.

    Compenstine got a reaction from Jeffb in Rebuilt My Hourseshoe Pit   
    Spent Saturday rebuilding my horseshoe pit. Before it was just two stakes in the ground. It was root bound and the shoes would bounce like hitting a trampoline. LOL Saw a lot crazy ringers. LOL Saturday was a day off and my boss let me take the Bucket loader home with a bucket of sand for my pit and the swing set. (About 2 yrds of sand for $20) I'm only 2 1/2 miles away so I could just drive the loader to the house. Anyway here is the result.

    She is correct.  They have had trouble all of my life with it.  I live in a small town, 26 miles away and it is much better here.  Like the saying goes we get 20 inches a year, and you should be here the day we get it!
    True!  My wife is definatly the type that would have waded out there...  The fire department luckily had it blocked off.
    Those pictures were taken in Lubbock.  The forecast shows it has moved out for the next 10 days.  I will never gripe about rain, but I am ready for it to clear out.  The bible is drying out pretty good.  It is definitely damaged, but salvageable.
     
    Thanks for the thoughts everyone!

    Compenstine got a reaction from Bebop in FDA Regs, pretty stringent, however, there is hope IMO   
    As Jason said there is the fact that these regs will affect everyone differently. Me, personally, I'm set for a very long time. It is the new vapers and the ones still smoking and want to quit that will be done the most harm. I do have hope, but I must look at a more realistic view. Ever here the old saying "Hope for the best and plan for the worst", That would apply here.
