I survived the night. barely.

Jaime(gf) painted their nails and were all awesome. Occasionally I would walk through the kitchen and blurt out something weird and they all looked at me like I'm crazy for a moment, then went back to what they were doing and ignored me like I'm just a strange old man that they tolerate because I happen to live where their friends do.

Oh & would you like to contribute to the Free the Kelli campaign? The current storm has passed, but we're saving up for next week.

Kelli's been getting banned from here, since the day she joined, well, according to Kelli anyway. :)

Just like the Canadian weather men calling for warm weather here, it hasn't happened yet!! Just sayin..

She just likes to keep us on our toes is all..

I don't know what it will take to change the perception that the Moderators are out to get folks, but it's something I hope will go away!

Have a nice day, y'all!!

The rest of my flavorings come today and thanks to the E juice Me Up Calculator I have got several sample recipes Im gonna try out. Still trying to figure out how MBV measure out their parts like the Create You Own feature. I asked but it is a trade secret which I can understand them not wanting that info to get out.

BUT if anybody here has any ideas of how it can be done it would be most appreciated!
If you configure a 15ml bottle under "Build Your Own," MBV makes you divide the flavors into 6 parts. Most of my MBV DIY is in the 12% range, so that would be 2% for each of the 6 parts of flavoring. Start with 2% of 6 flavorings, or 6% of 2 flavorings, etc (each being a factor of 12%). I hope that makes sense :)

Mmmmm Coffee and cheesecake. One of my favorites is hazelnut coffee and apple pie. It is an awesome combo.

Also since you mentioned Cheesecake, and since Uno asked last week. Cheesecake + Cinnamon Roll = Sweetly Iced Cinnamon Roll. I put about 1/3 cheesecake juice to 2/3 cinnamon roll and it was delish. It is "almost" what my other vendors juice is. So now that is another juice I can move over to Mt Baker Vapor. :)

Iced Cinnamon Roll OR Sticky Bun are also good mixers with a good coffee juice.

I just don't like the way the coffee gunks up the coil. The cheesecake is almost completely clear, so I no longer have to toss a carto after just 1 fill. ;)

I got my toe nails painted when my daughters had a sleep over and I fell asleep on the couch. I woke up when they were giggling uncontrollably while trying to put mascara on me. After I calmed down we all had a laugh.

hi Canadian Dusty, Mike and everyone else!

i'd just like to caution folks on the way they speak of Kelli. Kelli is a ginger sister and she's bi-polar with a lot of emotional issues. she may see things differently than others, but that does not mean that her feelings are illegitimate. they just happen to be how she perceives things. she has a right to feel the way that she does. if one of feels that her views are not correct or not based upon your own reality, it might be more constructive to take that up with her. i do not think it is constructive to imply here, that things are not as she sees them. it may do more harm to our sister than good.

i was raised with 2 gingers and it was tough. being bi-polar is a family trait. a little patience and a little kindness are a better recipe for dealing with people who's minds can get the better of them. we make allowances for the grumpy old men among us and for idiots like me. we may sort this out in due time. Kelli is kind-hearted and generous, and some days are better than others. she has a bit of a rebellious side, that's not much different than those who a re slap-stick minded. it's just how she is. let's be fair to her and try not to make her the center of public discussions.

you know, like i just did. :facepalm:

a little love, a little patience is all that we need. the folks here have that in abundant supply. we're all friends. let's keep it that way.

well, unless they are grumpy like Oz! :pervy:

just kidding, buddy. hope the ankle gets better! ;)

back to the Vikings...

OH I can answer that. So glad you asked.
There are some moderators who never come in here to say hi or tell us anything about
themselves, but will pop in occasionally to look for violations then delete and leave nasty
comments.
They lack tact, humor, and aren't friendly or approachable at all.
It's like they (no names mentioned of course) are just on some sort of power
kick cuz they have nothing better to do.
There is a way to get the point across and get the job done and be nice
about it, ya know? You don't just jump into a thread and start deleting
and removing without ticking people off.
Gooooooooooooooooooooood morning. :vapor:

Good morning everyone! Here is to hoping that everyone has a happy Saturday!

Is the cheesecake flavor extremely sweet?

No - not at all. I don't really like it by itself, honestly (it probably needs to steep more)...but with a fruit flavor like blueberry or strawberry, it's really good!

mmm blueberry and cheesecake. Did I say that already? hmmm

Pats playing tonight - trying to think of some good game snacks. Any suggestions??
I've been on a chips and dip kick lately....which is weird, because I don't normally eat chips and dip :?:

So....yeah, that's my suggestion for a snack

Or wings....wings are always good :D

Still trying to figure out how MBV measure out their parts like the Create You Own feature. I asked but it is a trade secret which I can understand them not wanting that info to get out.

BUT if anybody here has any ideas of how it can be done it would be most appreciated!

This is hypothesis only - I haven't tried any of it. However, this is what I *suspect* will get you close. Before we get into the math, let's look at the broader picture; the sheer number of flavors MBV carries. There's simply no practical way to have an entirely different formula for flavor percentage depending on the flavor of juice in question - it would take too long to fill orders fresh if every time a flavor was ordered, the employees had to look up what the formula was for that particular flavor out of 250+.

Further evidence for that theory (and it is only a theory) lies in the MBV specialty flavors (which you can't buy just the flavoring for, they come in juice only). It stands to reason that these are flavorings that have been "pre-combined" by MBV with a little extra finesse, so any nonstandard percentage amounts used in the actual creation of the flavor become "standard" percentage amounts once the mix is done.

To illustrate what I mean, let's say for the sake of argument that Flavor X by MBV is a combination of 10% Flavor A, 5% Flavor B, 7% Flavor C, 30% Flavor D, and 48% Flavor E. That would be difficult to mix to order every time... there's several fractions of mls involved. But if they mix up that flavor combination into a large batch, so they have 100% of New Flavor X, then employees can just add that flavoring to juice at a standard percentage without having to measure out the individual flavorings that make up Flavor X.... bringing us right back to the idea that "the actual percentage of *total* flavoring MBV uses across juices is standardized, not individualized per flavor."

That would also explain why some flavors are weaker or stronger than others... some are simply better with a higher or lower percentage of flavoring, but MBV does such a high volume of orders that it makes more sense for them to standardize flavoring percentage across the board and then offer flavor shots.

So, assuming this theory is correct - that juices without flavor shots are mixed at a single standard flavor percentage, regardless of the flavor - how do we find what that number is?

There's absolutely no way to know this without testing it out (just like I could be entirely wrong about there being one standardized flavor percentage for MBV juices). And I haven't actually tested this, so I could be wrong.

But let's take what we do know and see what we get.

A 15 ml bottle is allowed to have 6 parts. MBV recommends their flavoring be mixed somewhere between 15 and 20%.

So what's 15 (total percent of flavoring) divided by 6 parts? 2.5%

If each "part" is an even amount of flavoring (which it should be), and the total amount of flavoring is 15%, then each individual part has 2.5% flavoring.

You'll probably have to tinker with this... if nothing else, because it's all supposition on my part. But that's where I'd start.

(Edited to add): I should clarify that I wouldn't actually mix any flavor at 15% for a first bottle. As with cooking, you can always add more, but you can't take it out! I'd start at 10 or 12% and move up from there as necessary. Just wanted to demonstrate how the math works.
