deejStuff Is Here!! (Part Three!)

[Digimon2k]

Okay, here it is...

I saw my primary doctor yesterday (this is actually the first time I've seen her since I've been in Arizona), and she confirmed the belief that one of the medications I'm taking is what's causing my low heart rate. I am now being weaned off that medication.

Went to the Wound Care Center today, in the news there was good. The tunnel in my foot is half a centimeter shallower than it was last week, and the other wounds are healing nicely. In fact, on two of the wounds it took them a lot longer to dress them because they're so tiny.

I'm still enjoying the daily infusion of vancomycin, and this daily routine is really starting to wear thin. I can't believe how exhausting it is to sit in a chair for 3 1/2 hours doing nothing.

There's really not much more to report. Everything is looking good and getting better. I've been able to shove at least a couple orders out the door every day for the past few days, and it doesn't look like it's going to stop. I'm estimating that sometime next week I'll be caught up. Probably closer to the end of next week. There's less than 40 orders in the queue at this point in time, so I'm pretty optimistic on that getting caught up part.

Glad to hear the good news deej!

Hang in there and it'll be over before you know it!!!!

 

[JerryRM]

That's good news, Deej. You are on the mend.

Oh, I got your e-mail today, about my order being shipped. Thanks.

My order came in. I'm very excited. For myself I ordered Caramel, Belgian Waffles, Caramel Belgian Waffles, Caramel Corn, and Watermelon Champagne. For the wife I ordered Lemon Meringue, Cherry, and Forest Fruit. If you can't tell, I'm in search of a good caramel flavor and waffle flavor. I need to let them get to room temperature so their scent can truly come out. Out of the box Caramel Corn smelled fabulous!! I'm gonna try that one first!!

Hmmm... not a fan of Caramel are you..?? That caramel corn is fantastic! Enjoy!

Deej, so happy to hear positive progress! Keep it up and thanks for the update my friend.

Woo got some money and ordered my stuff

Hi sonic and oki.

Long time to run in to.

 

[Okiki]

Mmmhmmm busy busy busy. Nice to see you too jj, and clowder.

Glad to hear your doing better deej. I haven't been posting but I have been keeping up with the thread. Vancomycin is some strong stuff we do send a good amount of it out through our pharmacy.

Deej's caramels are good. Also his butterscotches. If you don't find what you want in the selection you got, try Butternilla (or Vanilla Butterscotch or Vanillascotch.) Guess which flavors all 3 contain (the ratios are different.)

I was unimpressed by deej's English Toffee the first time I tried it but he has a few flavors that are like fine wine -- they get better with age. So I have another bottle at the back of my collection, maturing. (I didn't particularly like Vanilla Cola at first, for example. I didn't even know why I bought it -- I don't drink colas. I put it away and tried it again two months later and polished off the bottle in one day.)

ETA: If your wife likes fruit flavors, she should try some of the fruit taffies -- especially Black Cherry.

First off I'd start by saying, just about all juice flavors benefit from some steeping. However from the ones you've mentioned it's my opinion that the Cherry, Watermelon Champagne and possibly the C-corn would probably be pretty good right out of the mail box. However if you could just maybe "sample" them then put them away for at least a week or two, you'd be doing yourself a great service.

The others I'd suggest only opening them to "breathe" them occasionally and giving them a good time to steep before even sampling them. For example one of the best vapes I've ever had was opening a bottle of the Lemon Pie one full month after it was made. My taste buds exploded, my brain melted, and I had to go change my shorts. It was that good!

It seems a month is perfect for the pie. Most other juices I'm finding best after anywhere from 20-30 days. In the case of a lot of juices, it's usually after a pretty dramatic color change. Though the clear or very light color juices don't always change color all that much. I've seen some switch from almost clear to dark brown, while most often it's more like a lght yellow or golden brown to a much darker brown. The "fruit colored" or "pre-colored" juices (e.g purple for blueberry) don't seem to change color much at all.

My general rule of thumb is, the more complex the flavor, the more it benefits from longer steeping.

I'm still enjoying the daily infusion of vancomycin, and this daily routine is really starting to wear thin. I can't believe how exhausting it is to sit in a chair for 3 1/2 hours doing nothing.

Don't you have something like a Tablet, Laptop, or Smartphone you could load with games, music, books, movies etc to help pass the time? I know even that stuff can get a little old, but at least you can switch out the content once in a while. I used to have a similar problem commuting 2hrs everyday by train. Heck even a walkman or something helps.

Glad to hear the good news! Keep on keeping on!

 

[Fudgey]

That's great news Deej!!!

 

[fatcharlie]

Even though I don't know you like everyone else here does, I'm glad to hear you're getting better Deej!!

So far I've tried 2 flavors. I put Caramel Corn in a Kanger T4 and the Watermelon Champagne in a Boge Carto. The Caramel Corn tastes a bit more sugary than buttery when vaping. It does smell buttery when I just smell it. And that kind of seems usual with all of the other Caramel flavors I've tried. Maybe steeping will change the flavor a bit? The only truly buttery caramel I've found was Caramel Popcorn from Sweet-Vapes, but I couldn't vape it because it irritated the heck out of my throat and made me go into coughing fits (diacetyl maybe?). I am definitely in search of a buttery caramel.

The Watermelon Champagne is strangely addicting. It tastes like a sweet watermelon Jolly Rancher and Champagne mixed together. My first couple of vapes were sort of unimpressive. However, the more I vape it the more I can't seem to stop. It really makes me want to chug some real Champagne! I think the only thing that could make it better is a tad bit more watermelon flavor, but regardless this flavor surprised me and I think it's going to be a permanent juice in my rotation. Perhaps tomorrow I'll try it in a larger device, either an Evod or CE3 BC. Or wait until my Ravens come in and use one of those.

 

[TravTech]

Yeah I'd say let the caramel corn steep some. Not sure how long I let my first bottle steep, but it was plenty buttery when I got around to it. Though tbh I thought the buttery flavor was more from the popcorn than the caramel.

Definitely getting some more in my next order.

 

[Digimon2k]

all I have to say is that the "Best if Steeped for xx Days" statement is on the bottles for a reason...

 

[jj2]

Yes listen to deej.........the wise one.
Well he is when it comes to his juices.

 

[jj2]

Good night everyone.

 

[CES]

Good morning

for me, the fruits need the least steeping, but the more complicated flavors need longer. Mango, skiwi, and strawberries and cream are wonderful on arrival, and only get better.

True! Unfortunately I have very little will power for steeping.

This morning I filled a T4 with the Watermelon Champagne and wow. So much more flavor than the Boge carto. I REALLY like this flavor!!

 

[JerryRM]

Good morning, Deej and the chowder.

[jj2]

Anymore I do have the patience to let them steep..............I'm so proud of myself!
