The clove in the baklava is a bit strong. I'm going to give it a full week, then try rebalancing with another flavor.

The bread pudding with vanilla in the background is good.

Apple pie with cream I'll let set for a few days before I resample, I want to see if the cream comes out a bit more, else I'll try with a little more cream.

Last two Flavors, strawberry and yumberry, are out for delivery

Aunt Azalee is still hanging in there....I'm gonna drop in with another cake around dinner time....

That ebay order I filed the complaint on ????? I still have the 2 gallons of 70% alcohol...Yesterday the 2 gallons of 99.9% arrived....This was the third time I was told it reshipped....I go to the bay to close the complaint and there's no sign of it....I go to my ebay purchase history and there's no sign I ever placed the order...I guess there will be no feedback...At least I got my stuff....Still......SHADY !!!!!!!!!!!!

Got the latest coffee in (a Microlot from Colombia), and the sheet of activated charcoal filter that I wanted to test on the room air purifiers (& use in an AC if they don't work well for the purifiers). The last 2 real flavors are Mia, though they went out for delivery same time as the other items - must still be in the truck, probably show Monday [emoji3]

Glad you got your stuff, Dee. Aunt Azalee is still in my thoughts and prayers.

Mark, I forgot what percentage you used for the baklava. I've been reading one of the RF threads on a different forum, and the consensus there is 3% with a solid 3-4 week steep. Most say the clove recedes and the pastry steps forward better at that steep time. That's the advice I'll start with, but I'm quite sure I'll be testing it before the full steep time.

Had a busy day so the only juice I've mixed so far is the spearmint and cream. With a total of 5%, I went with 2% spearmint and 3% cream. As a shake and vape, it's a pretty good Doublemint Gum

Remind me what percentages you used for the bread pudding, please! I'm thinking I'll use the TFA vanilla bean ice cream as my vanilla. I'll probably use it with the peach and mango too. Mango Peach Snapple

I use the 2.5% listed on the super concentrate bottles for the primary flavor; that seems pretty solid (3 wouldn't hurt).

For the bread pudding I added 3% nature's flavors vanilla. You could probably directly substitute a tpa vanilla like vbic (I used to do vga-only and pg-only versions of things, would switch between nf and TPA flavorings but keep % the same)

 

[Bovinia]

Thanks Mark! I'll mix those up tomorrow.

I just mixed the Mango Peach Snapple...OMG does that mango smell and taste good!! I went with 1% mango, 1% peach, and 3% TPA van bean ice cream. I'll probably test drive it in my dripper tomorrow, but I do usually steep anything I mix the van bean in for at least a week or two.

And I go big, or go home!! Mixed 180ml bottles of both juices tonight! If I don't vape it, someone from the vape shop will

 

[FranC]

I went with the low end of the scale and mixed single flavor testers at 1%

 

[Bovinia]

That's what I should do, Fran...but I'm the bull in the china shop

Morning folks

Morning,Bov

Finally found a half decent car for the ex, bought it this afternoon. '98 Nissan 200sx.

Anyone interested in a Geekvape Medusa? I won one from hg, it looks oriented towards larger/dual coil builds.

I found someone for the Medusa [emoji5]

 

[FranC]

Woe is me. I'll have to pass that up too. Really like single coil builds. Never got into using drippers either. I tried.

 

[markfm]

An RDA is great for testing new mixes. I ended up wiith two NaRDA clones, one in my backup kit (for travel), the other is at home, I use it most nights for a few hours to ry different eliquids.

The SXK Hadaly clone RDA is on my weekday mod, the squonker.

Both the Hadaly and NaRDA are high flavor little single coil RDA. Hadaly comes with a squonk pin as well as the normal one.

 

[Bovinia]

That's what I use my Wotofo Sapor dripper for, testing new mixes. Easy build dual coil deck with top airflow, handy placement for me since I'm bad at over dripping

Happy First Day of Spring!!

 

[FranC]

Good morning,folks

Glad you found someone for the Medusa,Mark. I tried many times but I just can't make myself like dripping.

 

[Bovinia]

Morning folks

Eye Dr appt yesterday went fine, no signs of damage from diabetes.

 

[FranC]

Good morning,Bov Glad to hear that!!

In the midst of anudda fine day of pushing papers [emoji3]

 

[FranC]

Afternoon,Mark Mixed your ADV a couple days ago and been vaping it off and on in one of my small tanks. It's very different from anything I vape but some days it's nice to have something different

 

[markfm]

At the % I listed it should be fairly soft, mainly vanilla though not a heavy flavor. Something I like a lot is that it never throws my palate off.
