03.24.2011. thURsday. More Flavours!

Right, well, I decided to have at DIY again. I ordered from One Stop DIY shop. I do like to order directly from the manufacturers, but I wanted to save on shipping.. since I was ordering some LorAnn and Flavor Apprentice. Yep, I'm giving them another shot, since I think I messed up my last batch of mango.

Yay, they sent me some nice freebies, including two polystyrene pipettes, a reusable dropper, and one dram of LorAnn tropical punch. Nice!

Right, so. After searching for a good guide on mixing Lorann, I found this....

If you are (a) starting out and (b) doing a new recipe, then 10ml will be too much as you stand a good chance of wrecking it. Instead, start with 1ml only. If 20 drops from your dropper = 1ml, then take a small 5ml dropper bottle like the ones halfway down this page..... 5ml Childproof w/ dropper - Clear ..... and put 18 drops in it. Then add 2 drops of flavor. Insert the dropper top, screw on the cap, and shake. You have about 1ml of mix @ 10% flavor.

....Awesome!

I used Rolygate's idea to mix up a tester of LorAnn mango. Blech. It's just awful. It tastes absolutely nothing like mango. Hm. However, the tropical punch was awesome! I quickly mixed up a batch.

Then, I used the same method to work up a bit from Flavor Apprentice's mango. That went very well. I mixed up a bloody ton of the stuff. It doesn't seem as strong, now, so I'm wondering what is going on.

I'm awaiting my order from Faerie's Finest, which I was assured by some in the chat room was great. We'll see if the Luck of Opposites doesn't try and kick me in the pants, again.

By the way.. there will be another blog entry about Cignot and that wonderful Vicki. I am going to wait, because this one will require a photo, methinks.
