    Do you have a place to mix at your daughters?

    :)
    Sure do. I have the house to myself all week while they're at work. I can even sit and not get a sore back from bending over the counter.

    Such a simple and yet tasty recipe — thanks @FranC.

    @FranC Irish Wiskey
    3% FA Irish Cream
    2% VT Scotch Whiskey
    2% TFA Vanilla Bourbon (I used FA Vanilla Bourbon)

    Edited: I am behind so working bottom up. I think what I mixed matches up to what Fran said a few posts above.

    So glad you like it:) Sounds like we both made good progress today. I know I can finally see more of my counter. I'm still trying to see what else I can remove.

    Is it time to do some shopping?
    It might be. I'm certainly earmarking a little for shopping. I just don't know what I need.

    My daughter wants me to go to Tenn in Oct and since I'll have 2 months rent coming before that I can pay my share of the trip (They are driving down) I've never been there so it would be a nice trip.

    I'll just keep the rest of the truck money for boring groceries and such stuff. The little I get from SS is enough to pay what I have for bills most of the time.

    Fear is a well known mixer in the world of tobacco ejuices. However his recipes can be over the top strong for my taste. He has a recipe called Cardinal that I tried three times a while ago — too strong in the tobacco department so I played around with the two FLV tobacco percentages. Nothing worked and it only got worse. Tried it again one last time. I left everything the same except I did add 5% WF Roasted Pecans & Cream. For myself I could probably use a tad more of the Roasted Pecan & Cream or something else creamy.

    If you have DFS Holy Holy Grail RY4 and wondering how to use it, try Cardinal. What HHG RY4 lacks in the tobacco area, FLV Kentucky Blend and Red Burley are there to cover this. I do not remember how long I steeped Cardinal when I first tried it however FWIW 14 days in the minimum — I have read this many times. What happens is the first 3 or so days after mixing, you can taste the juice and then flavor-wise the FLV tobaccos goes dead. Then they come alive again when it has completed steeping for 14 days. There is nothing that says you can vape this as a S&V however just be aware of what could happen. If it does, just set it aside and let it steep longer. Another simple and tasty recipe to use as an inspiration.


    Cardinal by Fear on ATF — Cardinal

    8% DFS Holy Holy Grail RY4
    0.25% FLV Kentucky Blend
    0.75% FLV Red Burley
    Steep: 14 days ** this is important **

    Perfect name for it too. VT Scotch Whiskey is very good with FA Irish Cream — pairing made in DIY juice heaven.

    My choice would be Tenn. in October ;)

    I wish you had mentioned here that you wanted that. I would have sent you a nearly full 30ml bottle for free. Let me know if you find a good use for the stuff. ;)

    Thanks for the offer. This was a spur of the moment purchase so just got 10mls. Will see how it goes.

    I got my 5 one shot flavors in from chefs last week, been trying to get time to mix them, have been so busy, but today got off work early, so get my scales out, PG, VG, Nic and flavors out, got my table set up to mix, go in the bottle draw, I only have 120 mil empty bottles :facepalm: So everything now put back away again, most bummed about not getting to mix the honeycomb custard.

    Now have to figure out where to get some smaller bottles quickly that don't charge $5+ for shipping.

    Why don't you use one of the 120ml bottles to mix the Honeycomb Custard you want. You might not use much of the bottle but at least it would be mixed while you find some smaller bottles. Amazon Prime?

    OMG, it's such a long way through these 30ml bottles. I finally emptied one. WooHoo for me. Now I have to finish my full tank. I've picked Hazelnut Sugar Cookie to be next. The remaining 30ml's.....one is 1/4 full still and the other down to about 1/8. Getting there ever so slowly.
