    Syringes should be coming in on Friday. Maybe they'll make all of this make sense... I suspect that I'll be throwing out 22 pipettes soon. Thanks again for the help, man.

    DIY Day One

    So my first batch was a loss. I had read the lines wrong and botched it. It was TFA Whipped Cream at 15%. I dumped it. My second effort was FA Custard at 15%, and I think it turned out okay, though I suspect that it needs some serious steeping. For fun, I mixed up Strawberries & Cream at...

    Thank you. I'm hip to percentages, but I can't imagine doing a 1ml tester with pipettes. Maybe that's where the syringes come into play, but it seems to me that for a 1ml tester, drops might be "good enough" to get a feel for the ratios. There's so much to learn! Thanks!

    Thanks for your efforts. I just got my lab equipment and chemicals today, and in my limited experience what I'd like to know more about is the actual measuring process and what equipment to use to easily get accurate measurements. Pipettes aren't doing it for me! They seem like a total waste...

    I might try that one the next time I order...it does sound really good.

    I just dripped Berry Lil Cheesecake and Twas Brillig - Twas Brillig is the winner right now, but both are very delicate to me. I reckon I'll cleanse my palate with Orange Makes Me Creamcicle; I have that tanked up in a Protank Mini II v.2 for when I need a quick change-up since I don't...

    Mrs Ts...Anyone have trouble getting orders?

    Yeah. I've tried a lot of juice from a lot of vendors, but so far Ms. T's Bakery is the only company, for me, that is totally irreplaceable. I understand being frustrated with long wait ship times, too, and I'm not making excuses. However, I will continue buying what I think to be the...

    That's interesting. I like Berry Lil Cheesecake! Let me know if you finally give up on it...contact me privately, though. I didn't expect to like everything in the LBE sampler pack, and I don't. However, I think that it was worth every penny to find out what I do like! I sure hope that...

    No. She was teaching English Comp 1 at Akron for night classes. This was back around '95. I wish that I was a better writer, but I'm never happy with anything that I write...my standard is always higher than what I produce.

    TPA/TFA Recipes only!

    That makes a lot of sense. I do similarly when it comes to dripping. I'll put a few drops of unflavored nic juice to help clear things out in between different flavors. For some reason my package still hasn't arrived, even though the mail has already come today; sometimes they'll deliver...

    These are all longer papers, so I'm fine with a couple of weeks, but 4-6 weeks or more is too long! My first final paper when I started my M.A. years ago, well...I got an A in the class, but I never got my final paper back. I love seeing RED INK on my papers. Not getting a paper back at all...

    I think that you might be onto something there. I'm having difficulties expressing exactly what that "weird" taste is, but smell, especially, along with taste is so incredibly subjective and also complex, playing with memories and other feelings, too. As to White Rabbit, the prominent note for...

    I'm still waiting on two papers that were handed in 4-6 weeks ago...and another that I turned in at the end of July! Thanks for the information about them not having rebuilding supplies. I won't bother going next week, then, and I'll just wait for your report on Groove E Juice in Kent. Thanks!

    TPA/TFA Recipes only!

    Also, I want to make a "big bottle" of Whipped Cream to use as a mixer; any advice on what percentage I should use? I often find myself mixing in MBV Whipped Cream with various fruit juices, so I figured that I could save some dough by making my own TFA Whipped Cream in bulk. My initial...

    I'm totally new to DIY, but I am patiently waiting for my first DIY lab equipment and chemicals to arrive at any minute. I've read through all 42 pages of this thread, and I have some proposals to make for your review before I make them, I hope. Not being too familiar with flavoring...

    THE Banana eJuice Thread

    I just got in another banana flavor from MBV - Banana Cream Pie. It seems pretty strong out of the mail box and in desperate need of steeping. That aside, my DIY lab equipment should be arriving today via USPS and I plan on whipping up three quick test recipes: 1) Banana Doodle 2) Creamy...

    Some people, including myself, do seem to find some sort of base "signature" taste that comes across kinda weird. It might just be my tastebuds and subjective experience, too, but I do find it a bit odd, myself. It's not terribly off-putting, though. I've wondered if it's just that I'm not...

    IKV Now OPEN!

    Hope is a powerful thing. I don't know your faith background, but based on your name and his being from the Hebrew scriptures, it's likely that some variety of Jewish or Christian faith is in your family history. If you ever want or need to discuss these things, I am an Anglican clergyman, and...

    IKV Now OPEN!

    Since the 510 Punched XL Fusions are sold out, I ordered a few of the remaining Platinum cartos. I hope they last until more Fusions come in; next time I'll probably order in bulk - enough for 2 or 3 months, I reckon. It would be nice to have some sort of estimate on when shipment will be in...

    LR Fusion Carts Punch

    I have enough drip tips that one or another will fit just fine, but where this becomes more problematic is that I only have one tank tool. On some cartos it fits fine, while on other ones the edge of the carto cuts into the o-ring something fierce!
