Yepper - it can in handy for the 'thick' malty, even cut down the Malty Toffee w/ some 100% PG toffee flavor nic.
Now if I can just think of something to cut down the sweetness of the Bounty Hunter and Gold from NLV. I've vaped about 20 ml's of each and just can't get used to how sweet they are. Got a couple partial bottles and a couple full bottles of each, that I'm just not gonna vape. I may play around w/ the partial bottles and if it doesn't work out - I'll get rid of the full bottles.
Just as a heads-up...
I just heard the Gov'nor of PA already declared a state of emergency and we're still a couple days from the storm. Thank's for the map Iffy - it will remind me as I head off to bed, that Philly's pretty much centered on the expected 'hit' area.
Mike,
Ya might want to take one of da small bottles and add some LJ a drop at a time. It might cut some of da sweetness at some ratio without ya detecting da LJ (although that may not be a bad thang).
Also, check over in the DIY forum... supposedly there is a commercial 'sweet killer' additive available. Good luck!
Frackin' awesome and congrats! And yes, I do so enjoy my three Grippers.
Thanks for that information. The paint I am going to use has a primer in it, But don't know if that is as good a sealer. The paint under the border looks good but who knows. I may call the paint store tomorrow and see what they think of using it, after taking off the border with wall paper removal.
Janet, congratulations and I am so glad to hear you are liking the whole mixing thing! I knew you would once you got over the initial nervousness. That first step really is the hardest part, feeling disoriented and confused and unsure of your next move is very disconcerting, like having 10 thumbs! Once you see how simple it really is and that fear leaves you, a whole new world opens up!
I got started just doctoring some unsatisfactory juices I had...not bad enough to toss, but not good enough to enjoy. After adding some of this and that, they were improved dramatically, and my confidence also got a much needed boost to start me off on my own, "from scratch" mission, very early in my vaping career. I find it to be a very satisfying hobby on many levels, and unlike most hobbies, it actually saves me money! One of my biggest kicks still is to mix tiny quantities (drops) of unlikely flavor pairs together to see what magic (or disaster) you can come up with! My poor friend and roomie Ed must be shellshocked by now when he hears the frightening words: "try this!" Bless him, he always will, and he never says "that sucks", it's usually "interesting" or "not bad". LOL. So sweet! If he says it's good or he likes it, he will usually add "I'm not just saying it to be nice" because that is my usual comeback! LOL! I always ask him to try to figure out the flavors too, sometimes he'll get one, or come close, mostly he's stumped.
His fav? 10%TPA Black cherry w/ a few drops of sweetener and a tiny dash of menthol +VG &nic to suit. Simple tastes. I have too many favs to list, but before my intro to WTA this was my go to when I had an analog craving as I don't care for tobaccos. I call it Koff Dripz as it resembles Ludens Honey Licorice cough drops, a LOT: 15% TPA Honey, 4% FW Licorice, 2% TPA Lemon, 3% TPA Sweetener, 6% Menthol 35% VG and 35% 50mg nic (=18+mg total nic). DH says it smells disgusting, but he hates everything. This kind of reminds me of the "Pluid syndrome" in that I am not a big fan of licorice, but I do like this and the cough drops a lot, but they are getting impossible to find anymore. Oh well, have fun with mixing and don't forget to share your amazing discoveries! Unless, of course, you decide to go into business!
Love that story. Aw memories. I look forward to see your picks, and they take me back to fond memories. THANKS
Three? Now I don't feel silly buying two. If I see them for 35.00 shipped again I'll buy my 3rd one too. lol
I dropped mine onto my hardwood floor for about the third time and it broke open and came apart but I was able to snap everything back together. Thankfully nothing broke.
CONGRATULATIONS Gadd. I'm only a little over a year and still can't believe it. It's like a miracle! Boy do I wish vaping had come along years ago. It's not often we can substitute a bad habit with a good, enjoyable one!
Whoop! Whoop! Congradulations Gadd.
And a V2 Gripper? Is that a recent release or has it been around for awhile? Does the V2 give more accurate Ω readings and output voltage based on it's 'set' voltage. I like my Gripper but don't like I can't trust the display readings. It's like have a VV device w/o a display to me, I just start at 3.3V an slowly move up to find what I like.
I have a black cherry flavor that I want to try, but I want it to taste like wild cherries. I've got a bunch of partial juices here that I should vape up before adding new so I'm holding back on creating more. At least I feel a lot more comfortable mixing some together.
I've gotten some good tips from asking the people at the paint store (as long as it's not some kid who is working part time) Our local Sherwin Williams store will send someone to your house to help with color choices too or ideas and it's free. It worked out well for me since I was doing a few rooms and wanted the colors to work together. Then as I was ready to do the next room I could just go and get the color we'd discussed.
Today, it's time to visit another underappreciated guitarist .. Mark Knopfler, best known as the front man for Dire Straits .. starting with this little ditty which features a bonus appearance of the great, great Scotty Moore ..
In 1986 this onstage performance by Knopfler (who wrote the song), Chet Atkins and the Everly Brothers brought together some incredible intrumentalists and is just a sublime performance .. the Everlys did a simply outstanding vocal job ..
Chet and Knopfler were close friends for many, many years .. Atkins was a mentor and teacher as well .. hail, hail, the great Chet Atkins

We'll end it today by taking a little side trip into the land of Jake Shimabukuro - playing the wonderful Cindy Lauper tune .. Time After Time .. I had the pleasure to meet this guy a while back at a convention .. he is the master of the ukelele .. most of us struggle to get this kind of talent out of a 6 string guitar .. Jake does it with a 4 string Hawaian ukelele .. the World is so full of talent ..
