DIY Bloopers

[Adephi]

A friend asked me if I can make a bourbon RY4 mix. I'm a diy'er, I can do anything.

After a week steep had a toot. It literally tested my gag reflexes. Worst tasts I could imagine. Luckily it was only 10ml.

Decided to let it steep longer. But I think it will steep for a long time still.

Once mixed one with 100% pg. Was in thought and didnt look so mixed with the pg bottle twice. Was horrible to say the least.

Must of wicked magically though !

well, turns out Blck are situated right where I have to drive past once or twice a week, actually been passing them for months without even knowing they are there, as always placed the order online, but then I discovered where they are after a glitch on the EFT payment I did and had to call them. Friendly as hell bunch !

I believe you can pay beforehand but have to get some kind of self collect code or something

Reading @GregF opening this thead just now. Eureka!! My first mix kicked like a Mule. (still tried to fix it as of today).Now I know why: I never opened the scale cover.

Ladies and gentlemen... always inspect your bottles before mixing.... think pg will be dripping out of my scale for the next three months luckily I ordered an extra bottle

Small tamper seal ring on concentrate bottle falling into mixing bottle

Start collecting them and I promise you it won't happen again. Lol, it used to drive me insane.

It has become routine for me to check when I start a mix - I learned very quickly that the rings don't dissolved in the juice

I have been lucky enough never to have had 1 fall into a mix, but for some reason, it used to give me a damn fright when it did fall. Like a fright you get when the bread pops out of the toaster.

I don't mind the rings on concentrate bottles because at least I can slip them off. I bought some aromatherapy bottles from West Pack the other day. They come with a dropper and a sealing ring built into the cap. When you screw the cap on, it seats the dropper attachment and the ring. The dropper isn't a problem, just lever it out with your nail or a screwdriver. But the ring stays in place, it is seated under a glass lip in the bottle neck and it would require a hacksaw to remove it. It's not a problem, it's not going to fall off and it doesn't get in the way of anything. But, conditioned as I am against rings on concentrate bottles, I hate unscrewing a cap and seeing a ring around the neck of the bottle.
