I went out on a limb and bought HC Lemon and HC Lemon Soda that came today. Just a quick sniff and was not impressed so hopefully mixed, steeped and vaped it will be better that is if I get the courage. Not much information on HC flavors in general. Anyone know what a good starting point is? Anything I have read, it is all over the map and old information when people were mixing at 25-30%.

    I don't have a single HC flavor. Of course I can't vape lemon either...LOL

    Man I just ordered 28 things from Chef's. A lot of them were one shots, (They have some odd ones. Like, meat pie? Gross. Also a sweet potato without too much extra sweetness. I thought of you Fran I was like, "Eww"

    However, I had to get some real flavors so I could feel like a real mixer. I got a bunch off boozy flavors, and a bunch of fizzing things. I want to play around with those things. Quite badly.

    LOL so lots of stuff but I didn't get anything under 30 ml and it seriously was not that much. Except for the whole shipping deal. I really think if I am paying that much in flavors, well, I should get free shipping.
    I should have looked for a fizzy additive! But, too late now. it's going to take me a while to wok through all those flavors I think.

    I feel better about my flavor stash now, although it's gonna REMAIN in cardboard boxes. Fortunately Chef's provides nice ones.

    I've only tried 3 One Shots and they were all way too sweet for me.I am considering the Rhubarb one if Hitt can tell me it's not wicked sweet. Someday I'll try mixing the 3 I have with less flavor and see if that helps any.

    You could re-purpose one of your stack-on cases to hold hardware.

    It wouldn’t hold a lot. I usually store tanks and mods in the original boxes with instructions. I have two large boxes of mods and tanks along with a few smaller ones with newer stuff.

    @hittman. Is that Rhubarb and Custard One Shot you keep raving about very sweet??

    I don’t think it is. It has a nice tartness to it. It’s one of those that has just the right amount of tart with the custard.

    OK,I will give it a try. Do you go by the recommended mixing percentage?

    Love Honeycomb Custard by Nick Evans for me the 21 days steep is when it’s the best. I tried it along the way before the 21 days & I was like meh. But at & after 21 days it’s oh so good!

    I’ve been mixing it at 15%. You could probably go lower. I think you have better taste buds.

    Is the Honeycomb Custard real sweet? I presume there is Honeycomb in it — maybe VT.
