    Somewhere between here and there
    My furnace quit working yesterday and I had to leave early to fix it. Then this morning I heard the sump pump running and wasn't stopping. The line outside had frozen and I had to go outside in 14 degree temps to fix that. It made me a little late for work but not bad.

    Couple of questions;
    Anyone ever tried adding TFA Cotton Candy (EM) to an existing mixture ? How long does it take to balance out the flavor ? Shake-n-vape ? Couple hours ? Couple days ?
    And, I need to replenish syringes and needles. Any vendor good for small orders of DIY gear ?

    Pretty much snv, although a day or so wouldn't hurt.

    I usually just add them to an order to get free shipping, but

    Measuring Supplies

    and Syringes and Blunt Tip Needles for Measuring and Dispensing eLiquids Heartlandvapes Wholesale

    are a couple good reliable sources.

    If you have a Tractor Supply in your area...they carry a large variety of syringe sizes, with and without needles, in their livestock meds and supplies section. I buy the ones with the Luer Lock tips in 3mL, 6mL, 10mL, and/or 12mL for cheap there (less than online vendor prices). They also have them in 20mL, 30mL, and 60mL if you're interested in those sizes. They don't carry the 1mL without needles though. They don't have any blunt needle tips, but I'd glady send you some. Just PM me.

    Tractor Supply uptown, I will check them out.
    Adding about 1% EM sweetened my banana foster, and seems to help the Vanilla Bean Gelato marry with the Ripe Banana. And the Jamaican Rum is still there, but more of an exhale after thought.
    Maybe subbing the Cinnamon Danish Swirl with Caramel will help me get to where I want...

    Not good luck you’re having. At least you weren’t too late today.

    Which NET
    Using Honduran Ligero with the peach, grapefruit, blueberry, and tangerine. Using Dark Fire with the apricot.

    The Ruby Red Grapefruit (FW) has a very strong grapefruit smell. Not too puckery either. I mixed it half with FA's Grapefruit. Kinda looking forward to that one because I'm thinking grapefruit doesn't translate into a good vape and maybe I'm wrong after whiffing the FW. I have a FW raspberry that is strong too.

    OK. Interested in what you think of the Dark Fire and also the grapefruit mix.

    The Honduran Ligero and Dark Fire are a good contrast. The flavors I'm blending with the Ligero take center stage while the flavors I'm blending with the Dark Fire are in the background so the tobacco takes center stage.

    Somewhere out there
    I found my Samoa cookie recipe, I use drops but you can figure percents too.
    It is heavy on Cookie, then 1/4 amounts of the other flavors to how much Cookie you use.
    1 part Cookie
    1/4 part Caramel
    1/4 part Cocoa or Chocolate
    1/4 part Coconut
    1 drop sweetener if desired

    I use FlavourArt but you can try any brand of flavors. I like my homemade version better than Real Flavors and I use FlavourArt Cocoa for the chocolate:)

    One more question. Do you like the taste of the Dark Fire?

    OK , my NET tank was empty again so I went against my steeping rules and am trying my Honduran Rhuberry at an 8 day steep. I like it so far. It has 2 flavors with the NET at 1.5% each. If I continue to like it when it reaches a proper steep in another 6 days then I will post the recipe.

    Very much. I always liked fire cured tobacco vapes. It's a deep, rich, smoky, robust flavor. But I have to say it isn't for everyone. I don't care for it as an EDV myself. It's too much. Alone, I would enjoy it after a big meal for an hour or so...on occasions. And I would enjoy the crap out of it. But I believe I can tweak it to be more durable and is why I am experimenting with it by adding small amounts of banana or apricot to take the edge off of it. Success in this area remains to be seen but I've had fired cured vapes with a touch of banana in it and it worked out great. Sadly, that flavor was discontinued from the vendor (along with a bunch others) and I lost a major flavor in my rotation.

    Hi everybody.! I haven't been here for a long time. I've been seriously slacking on mixing. Picked up some new supplies now and going to start doing it again. I had a rough couple months and now trying to get back on track. I tried some white chocolate in the PST and it came out really good but that's about it. It will take a bit to get back into the groove.

    OK, I do like this recipe and I don't see that changing for the worse with more steeping so I'll post it. There are actually 3 flavors with the NET.

    Honduran Rhuberry
    Stixx Honduran Ligero 8%
    INW Shisha Strawberry 1%
    TFA Ripe Strawberry 1%
    INW Rhubarb 1%

    Enjoy.
