Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

We leave for vaca in 8 days so I’ve been packing boxes. My SIL lugs them down cellar. I feel bad for my daughter.She has a shelf unit (floor to almost ceiling) almost full length of one wall in her office.All the tons of stuff on those shelves have to be packed away and moved down cellar.Thank goodness the other shelves are wall mounted.

There will be no mixing for me til we get back and all boxes are unpacked again.All my flavor cases,scale and stuff have been packed away.

So, good morning random folks Have you any plans today?

I’m just busy going nuts here but that’s nothing new I guess.

I have some bottles soaking.I need to rinse them out and get them put away.

I really need to work on some recipes for a future mixing session. Thank goodness I have enough mixed to see me though.

I'm vaping on a custard mix that I like quite a bit. Combined TFA Vanilla Custard, CAP vanilla custard, and a small % zeppola. Maybe a touch of fresh cream. I forget and don't want to look it up.
Other than that, I am steeping some sfts of CAP yellow cake, FA cake batter dip, trying Sour Wizard for the first time with INW Pineapple, Soho tobacco for my wife... One more but I can't remember...

I looked it up. Needs a name... How about, Fried Custard Balls! The TPA custard is a little strong by itself, the CAP custard has a lot of different brighter custard notes almost more like a cheesecake.

3% TPA Vanilla Custard
2.5 Vanilla Custard V2 CAP
1 Zeppola FA
1 Fresh Cream FA

Fran, the mixed berry cheesecake recipe is starting to grow on me. I finally realized what I was thinking was a sour taste was actually the combination of the yes we cheesecake and mascarpone.

I can't vape a custard mix even though I do like custard in mixes sometimes. I have to have a base for it and most likely a fruit.

Glad of that. I like that one myself but don't get any sour taste from it.

Start small about 1% in a mix. Use a basic cream like FA Fresh Cream and let it steep a full month.There’s a lot of creams out there if you care to expand.

My original Banana Creme Pie had all the non-poison flavorings in it. Then I remade it using all poisoned flavorings. Only problem is one of the main flavors was DX Banana Creme (TFA) and there was no poisonous Banana Cremes I could use so I just went with a straight up Banana. With the Fresh Creme (FA) you had me order for the Strawberry Biscuit recipe I was thinking of adding a touch of creme to the remake recipe to compensate. The Banana Creme in the original recipe made up 7% of the flavorings (half of the total) so substituting it with straight up banana omits a lot of creme.

Try adding 1% Fresh Cream to that. I love the stuff. It's just what it says it is, a fresh cream without anything added.

I don't really like banana vapes but am very curious to hear about the tobacco mixes that you come up with and how the flavors incorporate with the tobacco.

I'm not a banana fan either. As in, not at all. But I had a NET from QuikNic that I really liked. It was a Flue Cured tobacco with monkey juice in it but you really could not taste the banana. He put in just enough of the monkey juice to take the dryness out of the flue cured. The result was VERY good!. Unfortunately, QuikNic discontinued the flavor.

Yes,I believe Michigan,New York and Ca are the worse spots at present with a lot more coming up. There’s been quite a few folks jumping into DIY.

Plus Massachusetts.

 

[FranC]
