Random DIY mixing and More

[Zazie]

Testing iterations #16 and 17 of my Chocolate NET. First time I've used Stixx's Black Cavendish. #16 has FLV's Milk Chocolate. This is the second NET I tried with this chocolate. Sadly, I'm not a fan of FLV Milk Chocolate. Half the puff tastes like soap. The other half has a nice strong milk chocolate flavor. Too bad but this is one time a .500 puff average doesn't cut it. Working on #17 now. Using Double Chocolate Clear in this one. Used only 2% and it kind of gets lost. But I do like this black cavendish. I think it may go well with chocolate. I'm going to boost the chocolate level on my next try. Perhaps 4% and add some Chocolate TFA as well.

Generally, I am dramatically scaling back my testing. I've OD'd. I have maybe two more plus this choco NET and then I'm taking a break. I've surpassed my tolerance level for vaping crap. My tobacco extracts have 4 more weeks so I will test those before doing anymore testing beyond what is currently in my pipeline.

I'd say you've paid your dues and earned a break.

Fried Cornmeal Mush

I wonder what that would taste like fried in bacon fat . . .

I just got back from the grocery store. We had plenty to get us through but Mom needed some stuff. I did not want to go. Nobody cares about the virus out there. Nobody practicing social distancing. Looks like everybody sees this as a vacation. While I’m worried and stuck in the house working all the time. At least I have a job so I’m going to shut up now. But out in the wild it appears most are not worried.

Check if you have the instacart there so you don’t have to go in the store.

Yep, me too.

That's what I would do (in real life) but as far as vape flavors, I've heard bacon is nasty.

Oh, I imagine so. But I'm thinking of making it to eat. I've never had it, and it sounds delicious.

Sure feels that way.

Use a non-stick pan... they tend to stick (and sizzle/splatter) Might not be healthy but corn is low on gluten.

I can’t wait til you try your NETs

They do have curbside pickup but never heard of our piggly wiggly doing Instacart. Mom always gives me a small list and I get more. I know better. She’s trying to not put me out, but I’m trying to stock her up so I don’t have to keep going back. They were both happy about “the extra goodies” I picked up for them. I’m a good prepper. Who knew.

I realized I actually do have the flavors for the cream of wheat recipe and it sounds good to me. Finally!

Marzipan. I ordered it because I see a lot of it in recipes. Anyone like it?

One of my favorites. I use 6% with 4% vanilla and some sweet cream and graham cracker.

Before that I used a small amount of marzipan with more vanilla, but I like it better as the main flavor.

I’m actually really excited about the marzipan flavor. I’m making a note of your recipe.

Does it have spices (like eggnog?)

I found this:

Horchata(pronounced or-CHAH-tah) is a Mexican drink made with rice and is flavored with cinnamon and sweetened with sugar. The rice, sometimes along with some nuts or seeds, is ground and mixed with water to make a milky looking drink. It is served over ice as a cooling beverage in Mexico's hot climate.

I’m so glad you FINALLY found a use for vanilla swirl

I’m working very hard at not getting too jacked up about them. I don’t like disappointment so I’m pretty good at staying level headed. But I do sense a degree of desperation that morphs into hope. And as Red said, “Hope is a dangerous thing”.

Well,I guess we’ll hope to stay level headed then.

Gotta have a strategy with making flavors. Many, perhaps most, will fail. But some will succeed and that makes for a better batting average than throwing darts. I’m banking on these pipe tobacco companies having better flavors than perhaps anyone. They’ve been developing and marketing casings for decades, even centuries. The cream has risen to the top and only the very best survived. Why not use them?

Was that a figure of speech or do they really still have those stores?

I’d like to know also. Those stores were here a long time ago when I moved here in the 90’s but hadn’t heard anything in a long time about them.

GOOD Morning Randoms!

It's 4am here in Vegas and I took a late nap so I'm up but going to bed.

Did some mixing but I couldn't do much until my gallon each of PG and VG get here tomorrow (later today lol). But I mixed 100ml of Mango-Peach-Papaya and 30ml of Banana Cream- Cheesecake (Graham Crust). I'll let that last one steep a while.

I'm having a lot of trouble sleeping so I'll probably be back on in a couple of hours.
