Sure, it’s from Nick Bean Binding & got really great feedback from other well known mixers.

I have everything for that! Onto the recipe list it goes...

My Vapresso Target Mini that I dunked in coffee LIVES!!! It came back to life (for the third time after this event) happily asking "New coil/old coil."

I swear I am emailing Vapresso they need to deem it water proof.

Good to know! I love those little things. Have a black and a pink as back ups, while I use the silver. Fits so lovely in a pocket and waterproof, too... Wee! :wub:

Here are some inspirations for using DFS Holy, Holy Grail RY4:

(DFS) HOLY HOLY GRAIL RY4

Enabler... :pervy: I haven't even received my HHG Vanilla yet.

How is the tobacco note on that? Similar to anything? I need to mix what I have on hand, so only ordered the vanilla, but I'm a sucker for an RY4. :drool:

    Happy to report more progress than I expected on my first day back home. I re-wicked 6 coils and am trying a SFT.The flavor is Chefs Choice Rhubarb mixed at 3%. It has a nice tartness but the overall taste of rhubarb is just ok.I do have better rhubarbs.

    Mixed up a few Saturday morning:

    20ml each of Skunk's Plum Tobacco, Sara's 1-2-3 Cheesecake Base, Snickerdoodle (2 flavors + sweetener :thumb:), Barkfunklerbunk's Lemon Meringue Tart, and a 50ml of HIC's Kringle's Curse. I wanted some kind of tobacco, a cinnamon anything, a sweet creamy thing, something tart, and something minty. ;)

    Used a glass beaker & my Norpro mixer, as my bottle necks are too tight. Discovered that those new 30ml plastic bottles have some head space in them, too, so going for a whole 30ml still leaves room for additional shaking later. :thumbs:

    Already vaping on the KC and BAM.. Minty, icy deliciousness! Used nic salts for all, except KC (that can stand up to a little peppery-ness) at 12mg (was at 6). @Skunk! , I marked the bottle for a 2-week steep (couldn't remember). Is that about right?

    @Fidola13 , I managed to get the Devon Cream shaken, poured into a 30ml, and labeled... but that's as far as I got. Progress? :blush:
    I usually steep the PST for longer, but it should be fine at 2 weeks. Try it then and see if it needs more.

    Thanks, @Skunk! ! I have been dying to try that when you first mentioned it (love plum), then promptly forgot about it. As I was going through my recipes this past weekend to decide what to make, I found your recipe and was happily reminded. I had forgotten it was so simple! Actually, I think @barkfunklerbunk 's LMT was the most complex recipe that I mixed on Saturday. LOL!

    I still need to get my weight measures more accurate (I'm not ready to go very fast yet), because the KC mix became the most out of whack. I had saved that one until the end, as I was using a different nicotine. By that point, I was thinking I had developed some mad mixing skills and overshot everything. :eek: Still tastes great, though! :lol:

    God, I can't wait to smell them all again when I get home. :drool: Oh, almost forgot... Your cheesecake actually smelled like cheesecake yesterday, @Fidola13 ! The one I mixed a while back (CC Base #3) still doesn't. :confused: It's a sweet and creamy something, but I get no cheese (maybe I'll give it some sort of caramel to rescue it some). Not bad, just not what I was expecting. Hmm, I wonder how Hazelnuts and Cream would be in that? Wait, I have mascarpone! Guess I really do need to do SFTs... :rolleyes: Mad Scientist mode engaged... Bwahahaha!

    That looks like a natural based ointment that I’m using right now except mines way more expensive and has a different effective ingredient.

    Thanks for posting this. Amazon sells I may pick some up.

    Or straight from them, check prices and shipping. We've been dealing directly with them for years, never a problem, good folk.

    Herewith has ended the most uncomfortable 4 hour shifts of work of ALL TIME. Like, evil doc came RUNNING into my office and started blathering on about like, he wants to be JUST the same as the other doctors. He was like BEGGING me to come over.

    I said, "Did you read my email, the one addressed to you?" He was like, "No, not all of it."

    I said, "I put a lot of thought and effort into mine (unlike yours, I did not say) I would appreciate it if you would read it as it (would have prevented you scurrying into my office like a gigantic roach, I did not say) would be helpful to both of us."

    He was like, "Okay." I was like, "So I guess we are supposed to have lunch?"
    "Oh... we can have lunch anytime! Except I just got my wife's dog we are separated," (I am glad I am not the ONLY woman in your life who hates you, I did not say.)

    I was like, "How about Thursday. Try to read my email before then. Also, prepare to allocate a full hour (I know how you are, I did not say.)

    Well in all fairness, it's not worse to deal with him than BE him. If you have to BE him you can never get away from yourself.

    The dumb secretary sent my ADA to a coworker with a similar like, email name. So now coworker knows all my business.

    Everyone else was okay. I brought cookies.

    I shall sit, for a time, then take my darn Advil and Valium as I plan to attempt some very mellow yoga. I found my tens unit pads but they are a little TOO good at suppressing pain. Maybe afterward.

    I am a bit forlorn. My goal is to organize my work clothes, which will require ironing. Gak.

    OMG. I styled my hair today. Then I went to the bathroom after a couple of hours. It looked.... Horrible. I mean, truly awful.

    This is what I get for going to Walmart for a haircut. I'm going to have to do something. NOT shaving my head but perhaps headbands.

    I really don't want to dye my hair red again, but I am considering it like REALLY. I look great with red/burgundy hair, it matches my skin tone.

    More importantly red deposits on your shaft, leading to thicker strands of hair, easier manageability etc. I might just have to. I don't WANT to but if someone can't help me fix it I may have to. I have everything I need including the dye in a box from under the kitchen sink.

    It just takes forever. Beware Walmart haircuts though. It's like... worse than any haircut I have ever gotten.

    It's probably ACTUALLY getting smaller too thanks to things like frakking, blowing up mountain tops, burning oil, gasoline and well fossil fuels.

    It has to have less mass. Seriously. I wonder if its orbit is actually getting closer to the sun meaning we die a few instants sooner when the sun goes supernova.

    Well, I don't wonder that but somebody might. I might not tell the kid, though. He's anxious enough at the moment. Heh.

    I’ve been planning on mixing a creamy hazelnut w a dash of chocolate. I’m trying to “replicate” a commercial juice a Creamy Nuts? or something like that from Red Star store. They sent me several 10ml testers and I fell in love with this particular one. The description says cream hazelnut and chocolate. Honestly I don’t taste any chocolate so it could be supporting the other flavors.
