It’s a small pod unit close in size to the innokin eq.

I just loaded a tank with the Sutliff creamy butterscotch Net that pappa sent me. I don’t know that I really taste butterscotch but there’s a slight sweetness on the exhale. It’s really good!

I've heard of that one but don't have it.

Get them pickles made yet?

Glad you likely. That sounds really sweet.

It’s really not. It’s not like using butterscotch flavor in a mix. There was a butterscotch in the tobacco from what I understand and once extracted, it just leaves a light sweetness to the liquid on the exhale.

This is version 5 of the blueberry cookie that I’ve been working on. It might need a little tweaking but I’m pretty happy with it so thought I’d go ahead and share it.

I'm going to try the shisha strawberry by inawera a try before I give up completely.

Have you tried Alpine Strawberry. It’s expensive but it’s very good and not much is needed. I forget who makes it Flavorah or Flavor Art.

Tomorrow. This tried-and-true recipe:

1/3 cup kosher salt
1 cup boiling water
2 pounds Kirby cucumbers, washed (scrub if spiny) and halved or quartered lengthwise
At least 5 cloves garlic, crushed
1 large bunch fresh dill, preferably with flowers, or 2 tablespoons dried dill and 1 teaspoon dill seeds, or 1 tablespoon coriander seeds

1. Combine the salt and boiling water in a large bowl; stir to dissolve the salt. Add a handful of ice cubes to cool the mixture, then add all the remaining ingredients.

2. Add cold water to cover. Use a plate slightly smaller than the diameter of the bowl and a small weight to keep the cucumbers immersed. Set aside at room temperature.

3. Begin sampling the cucumbers after 4 hours if you’ve quartered them, 8 hours if you’ve halved them. In either case, it will probably take from 12 to 24 or even 48 hours for them to taste pickly enough to suit your taste.

4. When they are ready, refrigerate them, still in the brine. The pickles will continue to ferment as they sit, more quickly at room temperature, more slowly in the refrigerator. They will keep well for up to a week.

Flavorah and more money than I’d spend on one flavor

Sounds good to me

It is very expensive. Fortunately I got it on sale and not much is needed.

Steep?

Hang in there Fran. It might be nice to have other people around more often.

Any Menthol lovers around? Anyone use Flavour Art Polar Blast? It's a cooling enhancer. Works quite well with Menthol mixes. It makes the menthol a bit cooler. I suppose it has uses with other flavours but I have only with Menthols. It can mute flavour slightly but I think the flavour comes back after a short steep. Use sparingly though. I tried 1% then 0.5% and it works just as well.

I recently tried Flavour Art Extra Mint, but wasn't so impressed. I was expecting a more concentrated Menthol flavour. It is cool though so I suspect it is their normal Menthol with added Polar Blast. Here's what I do now because I bought 50ml of The Extra Mint.

Flavour Art Spearmint 4%, Extra Mint 1%
Flavour Art Peppermint 4%, Extra Mint 1%
Flavour Art Menthol 4%, Extra Mint 1%

Menthol flavours thick enough to walk on but minty cool and fresh.

Capella's Menthol is another goodie. It's not menthol crystals combined with pg - but a really nice smooth menthol/mint flavour. I also love CAP Cool Mint, which is their variation of a creme de menthe.

I use both with a creamy ice cream base
