    Is that vape Train? No worries, I'm actually going to do BCF for my next order... I'll find it. Been using Nic Riv (River Supply) lately just because I needed some Purilum flavors. BCF is actually my fav.
    Yes

    Good morning mixers! Of the batch I mixed last month, most of them are close to being used up. That includes both Rootbeer Float recipes (although I prefer the TFA version), Bronuts, Butter Pecan Shortbread, and SF Quince. Waiting on a Gremlin order that should be here by Thursday. I think I want to mix Butterbeer. Found a few recipes but am missing some ingredients. Next sale I'll fill in and try it.

    Weather today is awful, we have about an inch of snow covered in ice, and it's still sleeting. I am scheduled for a furnace cleaning and hoping they still come. Took me two months to get an appointment!

    Good morning random folks :) The weather today is just horrid. 2 major snowstorms in Dec.is not cool. The last one had just melted and here it comes again. Such a bummer.

    So do you all have any plans today. Shopping all done.Still waiting for deliveries?

    I got my needle top bottles yesterday. Ordered from Amazon but the seller was in China. Good thing I was in no big hurry. Should work well on filling some pods.

    Got my stuff for a raspberry recipe. Gonna make a very simple blend. I have two yogurts, and two raspberries. I'll add some vanilla of some sort. A three ingredient recipe. I'll try a few combinations. She doesn't want sweet and creamy.

    I see BCF is using different caps on their bottles. The black ones are going bye bye being replaced with clear ones. Can't grab the news ones from the top. :(

    I really hate it when they change stuff like that.

    Good luck with your appointment.

    I’m hoping to get a lot done at work. I like to finish as much as I can before taking off next week.
    I'm the same way. I also work really hard on Fridays (probably the only one) because I like to go out with a feeling of accomplishment. Seems to make my weekends better when I know I've worked hard. Almost like I deserve a break or something. And there is less to do when I get back on Mondays or after holidays.

    I did my own coffee extracts for a little while and they were better than any commercial artificial coffee flavors I have tried. Then I got scared of all the oils that are contained in them when extracted. I'll have to look at Zazie's blog and see how she does it. I was just doing a PG extraction.
    Not my method. A link to @FranC's.

    Thinking about ordering from Gremlin. Do any of you know if these are good choices? I like sweet tobacco. All from Stixx Mixx. I guess I should just order and see if I like them.

    RJ, Honduran Ligero and Nicaraguan Viso are not particularly sweet. They are more straight forward tobacco. That said, they make a great NET for mixing your own flavors with it. Anywhere from 3 - 8% plus your favorite flavoring. Makes an excellent NET base. I can't speak for your other two because I have not tried them.

    Yes, Fran. I vaped up what I had (5 mls) so I made a bigger batch. While doing that I also mixed up a couple small samples. One that cut the non-tobacco ingredients in half and another by 3/4's. I should be able to sample them next week. Looking forward to it.

    Just finished mixing for the day. Made two raspberry recipes. One using Greek Yogurt (TFA) and one using Yogurt (FW). All other ingredients are the same (Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and two different raspberries). Also made three SFTs. Double Apple, Apple, and Fuji. I'm struggling coming up with an apple I like. I know there's one out there.

    I'm looking forward to it too. Not mixing til you have a winner.....LOL.

    Apple is one I can't taste at all so I can't help with that one.

    Quite some time ago I figured I'd try yogurt and I picked a Cap flavor. Pretty sure the Greek Yogurt. Well that flavor almost most me sick, certainly turned my tummy a bit. A couple of years after that I got talked into trying FW Yogurt. I had no bad reaction to the FW so that is what I use. No desire to expand from there.
