2 for 2

[clh2121]

So I mixed up some Inawera's vanilla for pipe... Nailed what hubs has been looking for to mix in tanks with other flavors.

Then today, I tried to shoot for a Tiger's Blood type flavor... UC'd it and handed it to Hubs (figured he'd hate it, I was TRYing to be mean)... And he swears it's the Banana Runts flavor he's searched for. And 'ordered' a bigger bottle made.

2 for 2 this week.... Perhaps he won't complain so much now when I budget an extra dollar or 2 for DIY. (He would rather me spend it on new nail polish... 10 yrs and he hasn't figured out I'm not a girly-girl.)

So, anyone else had an "I'm the Queen/King of Mixology" moment recently.

I have the opposite problem. Lots of folks like my DIY, and have asked me to make it for them. My wife, on the other hand, gags on everything that I have asked her to taste. I don't even try anymore.

One day, I am going to refill an empty bottle from a B&M and tell her someone gave it to me. I'm going to tell her that I don't like it, and see what her reaction is. I'm going to be really mad if she likes it...

MD that was my experience with the exception of 1 mix (that I didn't take notes on) until this week.... Keep trying, you'll find her one!!!

6 drops Cap sweet strawberry
4 drops tfa ripe banana
1 drop FA coconut
6 drops saline

3 mLs of base (70/30 vg/pg)

I don't usually do the drop method but tank was empty and I was being lazy.

Thanks. Sounds good. I need to get some coconut

FAs coconut is awesome... Creamy goodness...though I can't pick it out in this mix yet... It might peep out with steeping though.

Glad to see your having good success. You PM'ed me earlier about percentages for vanilla pipe flavor. I think this excel sheet for inawera flavor percentage recommendations will come in handy for you.

I dove into creating the perfect BBQ several years ago trying all sorts of wood, wood blends sauce recipes and on. Summary ended up that you cant make everyone happy no matter how hard you try. Best you can do is suit yourself and hope most people like it.

I haven't bought juice since January 25th... I am very happy with the results I have gotten so far.

I have dumped less than 30ml down the drain in 6 months of DIY, so its been very economical as well.
