Random DIY mixing and More

I think I’ll just wait for you to try everything and report back . We ordered several of the same flavors

 

Pornegranate smells like it might need more Amber.

 

Pornegranate lol

 

It is a Cranberry Gin and Tonic made with the vile smelling FLV Cranberry. Amber smells vile too so I went with the lowest amount recommended on Reddit for mellowing out the FLV Cranberry. This stuff smells a lot worse than any solvent I use in cleaning. It needs another few days steeping but I am definitely not holding out much hope. LOL

 

I like Amber as a 5% stand alone so I would've been thinking overpower rather than mellow

 

I didn't think about it when I made the recipe but Amber and Catalan. Bow chika wow wow.

I was having a bad eye day when everyone was talking Pom and I kept seeing rn instead.

 

I LOVE Pom - that and cranberry (NOT FLV) have become my new favorite flavors. I mentioned that to my husband last night and said I found it surprising. He said it sounded right up my alley. Guess the man knows me well.

 

Especially after the wet hole comment you were replying to...

 

fig with shortbread?

 

I'm another that would describe it as a dark berry blend . I find possible notes of blackberry, boysenberry, blueberry, black currant, and raspberry. It (to me) doesn't display all of them all the time, and they seem pretty evenly balanced (not one dominating the others). Vaping it as a stand-alone, I think I detect one berry during one puff, and then another berry becomes recognizable during another puff. It is this even balance, that allows a berry to become dominant, simply by adding 1-3% of a single berry concentrate to a base (3-4%) of Forest Berry.

That sounds like the classic strawberry pairing that Wayne Walker (DIYorDie) speaks of. he cites a blend of:
2% CAP Sweet Strawberry
3% TFA Strawberry Ripe

Here is a link to one of his mentions. Scroll to the bottom of his flavor notes to see his description.

 

So many fig possibilities - Apple and Fig Custard, Yoghurt with Figs and Pistachios, Milk Pudding with Rosewater, Caramel, and Figs, Figs with Brie...you can have fun with that one.

 

I love Wayne. Did you see his Voopoo video?

 

I did not. He tends to ramble a bit much for me (in his videos & pod casts; I much prefer his writing) and I am more of a nuts and bolts kind of guy. I've also been trying to dodge the hardware discussions for the most part; as my actual need, as well as my budget, is not too supportive of new purchases right now. Was it a good one?
