DIY Digest XVIII: Time & Resources
submitted over 6 years ago by ApexifiedDelightfully Mediocre

> With so many helpful people and resources around here the whole “Do it yourself” things pretty much comes down to finding the information or the right person to answer your question. The Frequently Asked Questions thread is a pretty good place to start, along with the FAQ Friday index. But my question for you is; What’s missing & what needs updating? There’s only so much time in a day or even a week that I can dedicate (and occasionally delegate) time to organizing, archiving, and creating new resources for the sub. With a little input from you, I might be able to use that time more effectively (or just waste it doing more giveaways on the Discord)

>Let me know what you think (please)

 

#Highlights from Last Week

  • /u/eyemakepizza is keeping the Ice Cream Trinity alive with a fresh new remix “Trinistachio!”

  • /u/EighthTry asked “What am I missing?” when it comes to CAP Sugar Cookie and all their failed attempts to make it work.

  • /u/UnappreciatedRobot gave us their “Top 5 lessons learned” and sprinkled a little appreciation on it.

  • /u/ID10-T shared “Counter Punch” by “mostly” /u/AlfredPudding who then went all /r/deeper_diy in his attempt to ironically refuse credit.

  • /u/Foment_life has answered about 25 questions (so far) in our semi-weekly “Hotseat” which is barely 24hrs old, so keep the questions coming.

  • /u/kindground our resident warrior and flavor guru released “What the Yam?!” which also happens to be available as a recipe pack from BCF.

This could be useful in the sidebar under Vendors. Unless it's there somewhere else of course.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think there is a similar list somewhere in the wiki that I was working on. I'll dig it up later and add it to the vendor page.

I think rebrandings should be frowned up instead of promoted.

Really, it's useful info. Particularly when the reason for rebranding is to get around manufacturer-imposed minimum prices.

Duplicating some of the info we let the JuiceButler take care of on Discord would be nice -> standing discount codes, flavor rebranding, trinites, etc.

I think that baking trinities and well known bases/stones into the Flavor Facts sheet would be good.

How about vendor localization? I know personally I don't use this sub to find vendors at all because I'm only looking at Canadian vendors. No way am I losing 1-2 hundred worth of ejuice to your country's judgmental border security.

There are Canadian vendors in the list. But if you know of any that aren't in there you can tell me the names (no links, though)

I know that they're there, but it would be awesome to separate the vendors by shipping availability/cost so people in NZ or Denmark or something don't waste time picking out a whole cart on a 'murican site

It's only customs canaduh you need to worry about. Or being anally raped by a courier using their own personal customs brokerage and billing you a extra forty bucks for having done so.

Either way, I only order/shop domestic if I have the choice.
