Watching this with interest as my first TC mod should be getting off the slow boat any day now.

Like @scooby I'm also a smoker, the BBQ kind is the only kind of smoking I do now. All my BBQ stuff is in Fahrenheit so you get used to it after a while.

I've just ditched a load of custardy juices that were 18 months old. Tasted them first and they had lost the high notes, that is, there was a vague underlying vanilla/buttery flavour but no real taste, at least to my palate. Did try mixing them all together and adding a sharp fruit flavour to try and rescue them, but didn't really work, so took the plunge and washed them down the sink. Much prefer the newer mixes I have just got my hands on.

Thank you for the words of wisdom Perpetua. I've got loads of stuff "in the post", unfortunately they are still using donkeys & carts to move it around the country. Hopefully I'll have some Shake n Vape concentrates, & some ready made juices arriving soon. Once I have enough in stock to vape on a daily basis, I can work on developing some patience.

While I'm waiting for a shipment from Chefs Vapour, I started going through my box of home made juices that never made it. Most of them are failry black now, made over 18 months ago, and TBH, despite the label, I'm not too sure what's in them. That's because I find a nice looking recipe, buy all the bits, make it up & let it steep. For one reason or another it doesn't meet expectations, so I fiddle with it a bit, add a bit of this, a bit more of that, all the time trying to maintain the nic & vg where I want it. This rarely works, if it does work then I've vaped it without really knowing what was in it, if it doesn't work it gets put back in the cupboard.

I know that I'm not disciplined enough at keeping records, although I have been using dot1ml.com to try and keep track. I should also be making up 10ml testers, but find that dealing in small fractions of a ml makes it all a bit tedious, so I usually make 30ml as a minimum, just because the quantities are easier to deal with.

So I've got a load of failed juice that I have now put into one 500ml bottle that will almost certainly end up down the sink. There's a sort of reluctance to flush it away though, all that expensive nic and flavourings, despite the fact it probably tastes terrible.

What do you do with your failures? When do you "give up" on a recipe and decide to bin it? Do you try and recover it and make something else, or just write it off?

Had a "doh" moment this morning, rebuilt a mini RBA about three times. Dry hits & horrible flavour....was using one of those muji cotton pads and realised that I had cut the wick material across the grain instead of with the grain. I was wondering why it was so difficult to pull the wick through the coil without it feeling as if it was going to fall apart. Now I know
