Hey VGF!

[Elphaba13]

How's my dulce de wotsit and white chocolate coming along?

Also, do you get them with extra flavour? I do with most of my sweet ones (hopscotch, custard, tiramisu etc) and did with these as well. I find that if you have extra flavour, they always take heaps longer to steep.

Has anyone else tried the above and can tell me what they are like? Mine are still on their way, and hopefulloy will get here mid next week, along with my pretty new Jessy. I'm already bored out of my mind with not being able to move around much, or leave the house (that's purely because of the embarrassment factor, though - I look hidious) and I know my new flavours and toys will cheer me up immensely.

Meanwhile, this morning I'm vaping some trusty RY4. Which I love, but I really am just so excited about my new stuff. And I've just added the lucky leprachaun to my cart.

The dulce de wotsit still isn't ready. The white chocolate is good if you like white chocolate (I don't), but hubby likes it.

Nope - I never order with extra flavor. Do the hopscotch, custard, etc. taste a lot different with extra flavor?

So, how long will you be off work? You definitely need something to occupy your time. Do you like to play games online?

 

[Elphaba13]

I sometimes play games on line, but mostly nerdy word games. I have words with friends and hanging with friends on my iphone, and use them a lot, especially at the moment because I can't sit upright (at the laptop) for too long at a time. I'm on the laptop at the moment, and starting to get quite sore, but enjoy the typing speed compared to the phone lol. If anyone wants to play words with friends or hanging with friends with me, my username is Elphaba13. Hanging I play more with my daughter and her friends, as they are 15 and prefer hangman to scrabble.

I like white chocolate, so I think it will be good for me. Wonder why the Dulce is taking so long? Must be very intricate flavours. I have never tried custard in standard, so can't tell you how much of a difference it makes, but I found hopscotch too muted in standard (my first 10ml bottle). I think because I have so much trouble with my sinuses, my tastebuds are a bit "hit and miss" and struggle more with certain flavours (particularly caramel, or buttery). So with hopscotch in extra, I probably get the same flavour as normal people do with standard. Other flavours (like moonpie, applewood, Wyatt Earp and the RYs) I get in standard, and they are full of flavour, so it's obviously certain parts of my sense of smell/taste. It's just certain flavour "notes" that I struggle with. For example, I can't taste caramel cream at all. Or smell it. And I got that in standard. But if I got extra in Wyatt Earp, it would probably blow my freaking head off! lol.

Ok, soaking a carto in Dulce de Leche now. The White Chocholate smells great, BTW. Dulce smells like caramel and cream. We shall see...
Get better fast Elpha... I like your new sig.

 

[Elphaba13]

Can't wait to hear your verdict, Evilfrog!

 

[evilfrog]

Dulce de Leche is very nice. A good bit more TH then Hopscotch... sweet with a bit of an edge. Delicious and accurate like almost everything from FSUSA. You two should like this one. On those days when you run out of Hop and Custard (though this isn't really possible, as I'm sure we all have big backup bottles by now ) this would do as a replacement... but I don't think its better then Hop and Custard.

I guess HopScotch and Custard are like cognac and this is more like single malt scotch.

I got extra flavor (just in case), but it would be fine, I think, at regular levels. I can always thin with unflavored (got some more in that DIY sale ) so on sweet flavors I usually get extra. As a caveat to this, I am using this in a Leo carto, and Leo cartos produce the most intense flavor of any carto I have tried... so in a standard Boge, and certainly in a horizontal coil carto I might want the extra flavor.

This was a 30ml bottle dated 6/25.

 

[Elphaba13]

Thanks Evil. I have so much hopscotch and custard I wont run out, but I do love alternatives so I don't get bored. Can't wait for mine.

 

[okwithit]

how long does the custard have to steep before it is great?????? inquiring minds want to know.

I don't exactly recall, but my first bottle was 10 ml. and it only took a few days. Then I ordered a 60 ml. bottle and I think it took about ten days.

 

[Elphaba13]

My 60 ml was steeped when it arrived so I can't help except to say def no more than 3 weeks.

Do you have any small empty bottles? If so, you could fill one so you won't have to wait so long.

 

[Elphaba13]

Ditto on the filling small bottles. Best way to steep, IMO.

Hey VGF, still waiting on your Jessy review. Did hubby let you use it? What's the verdict? Hoping mine comes this week!!(even though according to USPS it hasn't left Tuscon post office since it got there 11 days ago, and USPS are, like, NEVER wrong...)

 

[okwithit]

ohhhh no, no cheating, i can be patient and i like to be suprised. i'll wait, it's only a week.

 

[Elphaba13]

Wow, you are STRONG!!!!!!!! I bow down to your patience. Anyone who visits these boards regularly knows that I have none of that patience stuff. I just have to make do with my good looks and charm...

 

[maureengill]

No worries Elphaba...as long as that cow is your avatar....TT will agree with anything you say

 

[mauisun]

my favorite way to steep is a mason jar, leave the lid off with a papertowel over the top to keep out dust and dirt for about a week
