It's been a while since I put up a blog post. Busy busy busy. I can't find much time to ruminate with constant snowstorms demanding me to sled and snowskate. Cincinnati is projected to have its biggest snowfall of the season so far tomorrow. So I put in for a vacation day and am now lounging around, relaxing, and vaping my head off.
I have moved from 3.7v vaping to 6v vaping. It kinda just happened when I got my RoughStack and an extension tube for it. A lot of flavors can't hold up at this power level. I am happy to report that my tropical mixes do great at 6v and really go great with my favored Bacardi Superior and diet Coke. I managed to lose about 5ml of key lime-mango-coconut one night after liberal indulgence in this pairing.
My response was to get a 10ml, 12mg custom Vaporbomb mix of coconut-key lime-pineapple. I thought it would be appropriate since I have recently been drinking Bacardi and pineapple juice at the bar. The results were very good- the pineapple flavor had a bit of syrupy sweetness that helped mitigate the dryness of the original blends, much as real pineapple juice mitigated much of the dryness inherent in Bacardi. Another great match. The key lime-coconut base seems to be quite versatile. It may have the potential to be mixed with many different third flavors to complement a variety of rum cocktails.
Unfortunately, my apple cigar mix is not holding up as well. The green apple ended up overpowering the perique after steeping. At 5 volts, the flavor is too sticky and sweet for me. No matter... I have a Vaporbomb order on the way with extra perique for mixing! I have been stuck on tobaccos a lot lately. They hold up well at 5-6v and are immensely satisfying when properly enjoyed alongside fine whiskeys. So, with this new order, I hope to explore the potential of mixing some tobaccos!

The max ult is really good on its own at 5-6v. I killed a 5ml in no time flat. I also tried their 7 leaves flavor... it is good, but not right for me. It had a funkiness that reminds me on the odor of my (chainsmoking) grandmother, RIP. Now I am excited to try cuban supreme, royal and shade. I also took a shot in the dark and got a custom mix... kicked the pg to 60% from my normal 50/50. I threw in perique, max ult and passion fruit. I can't imagine what it will taste like.
In addition, I have some Vapor Station flavors that need jazzing up (jesus did actually just type the words "jazzing up?" WTF somebody please punch me in the face). They were really good with nice, strong throat kick but have mysteriously mellowed out. I think the perique or cuban will help with that. I am also pretty excited to mix a little rum e-liquid with some fruits and maybe some colas to see if cocktail flavor replication can be achieved.
Oh, by the way, I found that mango blend. I came home from the bar after vaping the pineapple blend with some rum drinks and stopped cold when I saw the recliner... I had a weird feeling of deja vu... the mango mix was hidden under the cushion! It steeped very well and is now all grown up and old enough to go to the bar with me!
