It certainly is, and I’ve never been a fan of dessert / bakery vapes.
Seems that your advice ^^ above ^^
Couldn’t be so true!

Oh that does look nice, haven’t tried FLV Apricot, but I have been mixing a lot of apricot lately but mainly Sasami and MB.
I’ve never got Pound Cake to work for me. One of the flavours that I put in the category of not what Aussies are used to, if that makes sense. Others include blueberry, mango and butterscotch.

NET is pretty simple to make, just takes time for it to mature. I’ve forgotten about some jars and had them steep for at least 18 months.
Which is good, especially with cigars, they tend to have a lighter flavour than the pipe tobacco’s.
Cigar is a lot cleaner though.
I stole the steps below from the ‘other’ forum, I’m sure Jim doesn’t mind 
- Combine 1 oz of tobacco in an 8oz jar with 150ml of PG or until you “top” the tobacco with PG.
- Warm jar for 6 to 8 hours, between 125 to 150 degrees.
- Place sealed jar in cool dark closet for at least 30 days (longer is better, esp. for cigar leaf).
- Strain through coffee filter at least 3 times; low micron scientific filters (Grade 5) are best for final filter.
I also want to say how sorry I am about your dog.

Thank you @Jose, that’s very kind.
In fact, “Thank you”, to everyone who’s offered support, advice, and in many cases, both !
The euthanasia of Mia was one of the hardest things I’ve done, but it was the right decision. She wouldn’t have lasted many more days with kidney failure, according to the vet, and had barely eaten for 4-5 days. She was very weak, and as someone posted earlier, kinda knew her time was up.
Because of this ridiculously long lockdown in Scotland, we were not allowed into the vet’s practice.
We had to park at the rear of the building, and the vet came out in full PPE gear and administered the injection whilst Mia lay on her bed in the back of the car. She slipped peacefully away as both my wife and I held her. 
We’ve registered with a local dog’s charity and are hopeful of offering a new home to a rescue dog in the near future.
Apologies if I’ve posted this in the wrong thread. 
So, back to the mixing…
Hopefully taken most advice…
@woftam & @anon72991949 Checked out https://chefsflavours.co.uk/, found a few I fancied trying and good prices, but their stock levels are pants currently…will wait a wee bit before ordering.
@anon96069639 Your, “Sorry I can’t be of much help without specifics”, has been more help than you can imagine. 
@Sprkslfly Appreciate the encouragement.
@Jose Will give DIY NET a go when I’ve worked my way through 6 Black Note Notebooks ! 
Could you recommend a decent CBD vape that doesn’t involve remortgaging my house ? I’ve tried a few, but not been that impressed…
Ooh, one final point, are Dash Vapes in Canada any good ? Free UK shipping for not a silly big spend, so considering placing an order for a range of concentrates to get my stash up and running.
Any recommendations for base flavours that I’m likely to use in a range of recipes ?
Really sweet stuff is the only

I’m afraid not. I’ve never ventured out into that area. I live in Amsterdam and I just go to the coffeeshop.
I like some THC with my CBD

I do miss our annual Amsterdam pilgrimages, especially when we stayed on a river boat. 
Bluebird & Barney’s were favourites, and another I can’t recall, further out of town, that resembled a Turkish bazaar.

Ya, Dash are pretty good the free shipping has never worked for me in the cart I always have to drop them a message YMMV . One thing you will find atm is that international shipments will sit awaiting departure for a minimum of 4 weeks right now.
There are plenty of good suppliers in the UK with international mail being what it is I would start there for a much quicker result.

Cheers @woftam.
DV prices were good, and covered many of @anon96069639 recommendations.
Thought I might chance a couple of 5.5ml Zenith Pro tanks, too. Getting fed up refilling all my (EU 2ml restricted) tanks 2-3 times a day! 
My 1.5kg package from Black Note left CA last Thursday, and landed @ Stanstead on Saturday. Is currently in Newcastle, and expect delivery in Scotland later this week.
UK customs must be self-isolating… 
And I’m not in any rush, the Mrs is already giving me grief about the volume of juice deliveries, not to mention my first couple of batches steeping in the garage…this bloody lockdown !

As much as I try to support both local and UK merchants, I’m also keen to save money and encourage international trade, China being the one exception.
My FedEx package from Irvine, CA dispatched 21/05 and landed with me in Scotland 11.30 am 27/05. Amazing really, considering both the weekend, and UK Bank Holiday Monday. Saved me a bundle of £££s too, with the special offer, on a product I know and love.
Rightly, or wrongly, international shipping affords me the opportunity to piggyback an ejuice order with an EU oversize 4-5ml tank.
Sick and tired of refilling my 2ml tanks 2-3 times every day.
I do need to look into UK concentrate outlets further. Most recipes that have taken my fancy seem to be from mainly North American suppliers.
With everything that’s subjective, when you find someone with similar tastes to yourself you tend to pay closer attention to their opinions and recommendations.
I’m itching to try a few of @anon72991949’s recipes…

@anon96069639, thanks bud.
Even though we’re still under lockdown in Scotland, (longest lockdown in Europe ! Bloody SNP 
), I still have a wee bit on my plate atm.
Tinkering with new mixes, nic salt and nic ice shots, and playing with my new digi-scales. 
Had a visit earlier today from a local dog charity and met a prospective new addition to our family. Hopefully hear back later today if we’ve been accepted as rehomers. 
Also got a couple of 4ml Zlide tanks on order, and a Nautilus GT to try out.
I’m under instructions from my better half not to purchase any more juice or concentrates, until we’ve used a good chunk of current stocks.
Not even opened any of the Black Note that arrived Tuesday because I’ve fallen in 
with this premix…

So, yes, a rebuildable is on my radar, but it’s gonna have to wait a wee bit I’m afraid.
Need to find my way out of the current warren I find myself in first…

Well, Eilidh, pronounced “ai-lee”, and her rehoming officer spent over an hour with us last Friday.
She explored every nook and cranny of our house and back garden, enjoyed the homemade tuna biscuits my wife had made, and stretched out on our sofa.
We’ve had further adoption forms to complete over the weekend, and had to provide references and vet registration confirmation.
She’s due back tomorrow for her second home visit and will be left with us for half a day.
If all goes well she will be officially signed over to us on Thursday.
She’s only 18 months old but has already had 4 homes, due mainly to her anxiety, ADHD, and destructive behaviour.
The dog charity are just being really thorough, ensuring that her next home is the right one for both her, and us.

Yeah @marsh8 I’ve found the Pound Cake works well with CAP Sugar Cookie had good results with that combo. As far as blueberry, mango, and butterscotch I’ve struggled with all of them myself, especially Mango. Funny thing is my ADV for 3 Yrs. before DIY was a Commercial peach / mango blend, Hope to clone it (someday) every other Mango mix I’ve tried taste like cat pee to me
