Must be good stuff for you since the wife likes it.
It's not bad. I think I like the raspberry a little more but the berry mix works pretty good. I'm assuming it's just three TFA berries that they put in one bottle. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever had a TFA that's been awful. Maybe boring, weak, or uninteresting at times but nothing I threw up. TFA actually does pretty good.

    Somewhere between here and there
    I’m trying the strawberry rhubarb smash at 8%. It’s not great solo but I think I could build a recipe around it. Maybe some graham cracker crust, a little more rhubarb, and I’m not sure what else. Besides the rhubarb flavor in it I feel like I’m picking up on a cobbler or something. This might be a good one to try the jam it flavor with.

    thanks. anyone tried the Inawera one?

    anyone has recipe suggestions NOT in the earl grey direction? everything i've found features something citrus to mimic earlgrey.
    I was thinking of doing black tea and mint and wondering what to add for a touch of sweetness and maybe more spice.. as long as the black tea is still obvious.. my current cart from what was available at the shop i was about to order from is

    Inawera Blacktea (heard it is too uncomfortable for the throat, hence my first question)
    INA Fresh Puff
    [and, maybe a no no?, in my search for cardamom i found this add-nic and base-mix i thought i could steal the sweetness and cardamom from] Kulfi Aroma - Origins 10ml
    says creamy pistachio cardamom dessert

    thoughts?
    I’ve tried 2 Black Teas long ago. The first was TFA which I disliked. Next was FA which I liked and stuck with. Tried a couple Earl Grays and didn’t like them. Also tried FLV Easia Tea which is horrible sweet.

    Yes, they usually do :)

    It’s all subjective. I do not think CAP Vanilla Custard is any good, but 53k recipes over on ELR thinks otherwise.
    If it's anything like Vapetasia Killer Kustard I agree. Loved it at first then quickly burned out on it (I've looked up clone recipes and sure enough CAP vanilla custard. I'm looking for a much more light/mild custard... maybe even bavarian cream.

    Fran, any word on grandbaby?
    Gd had to be at hosp at 4 this afternoon at which point they would start giving her the pills to induce labor and said it could take up to 3 maybe 4 days. So it will probably be awhile. Gd is doing well,

    I mentioned doing some taste tests with chocolate in my RDA. I just realized how easy this will be... since I'm doing different flavors (all with chocolate) all I have to do is prime the wicks with chocolate then drip a small amount of each flavor (juice) on the coil. Vape that awhile, then drip the next one... keeping some chocolate in the juice well.

    Should give you a fair idea.

    Two, is it durable? How long can you vape it before you're burned out on it? /QUOTE]
    Durable, YES! I learned this when I first started. Got something from Indigo, flavored tobacco, forget the name. Filled up a tank in the am. Smelled great. Headed to the office and was thinking wow- this is just like a homemade toll house cookie. But by the time I got to the office, I felt a sick sweet overload, like I'd eaten a dozen cookies. Luckily, I had another tank with Tribeca or something. But that kept me off of flavors for some time. There was another called Cafe Racer Lucky Bastd that was absolutely delicious. I could do one small tank, and I was done for a long time. I've tried mints, menthols, strawberries, berry mixes, custards, mangos, etc. And they're fine for a few hits, but that's about all I can do.

    I'll let you live with your mixes a while, and hit you up later for your evaluation of most durable, and give a recipe a try. I've got some Honduran Ligero on hand anyway, and it's not my adv.

    Your husband has been conditioned. God bless that man!

    Oh believe me, he not only yells sometimes, he gets stern. He also makes me repeat back what he says, like, and verifies it for accuracy. He has his ways.

    I'm just really good in bed, we just found that out again. I was like, sorry forget the stress, forget the henna, you need :"treatment." LOL. I kid. I mean, mostly.

    But then, he's a little on the dour side. Germanic. He needs someone to liven him up from time to time. So.... I do that. Heh.

    Man, now I can do pretty much nothing but try not to stain too many things and/or eat dinner (the husband will have to cook it) for SIX HOURS.

    This better be worth it. LOL by that I mean, I hope it is not my own personal inner jihad. Which, per the Sufis, means like an inner war between good and evil, I am NOT going to go after the "Henna makers" with tanks and guns.

    Saving that for State Farm, which is like, per my sister "possibly one of the worst insurance companies on the planet." LOL that was heartening to hear.

    But like doood. The Certified Public Adjuster has all his crap together. We called, on a SATURDAY. He (the VP) called RIGHT back. Also, he emailed back (after we sent all our stuff on a Sunday) to say he would review it Monday a.m.

    I kind of wish he was a criminal attorney, actually. Maybe I will ask for a recommendation.

    RICO, State Farm, you may well find me and my husband like, insignificant, but we can start a mass revolt, probably. I am a creative thinker, and the husband is... dogged. He is ONE reason that workplace harassment is a thing now. Probably not the only reason, but ONE.

    Sometimes it just takes ONE.

    I have never litigated against anyone but what those adjusters did was freaking criminal. I'm kind of thinking I wouldn't mind sort of taking it on as a side project.
