Random DIY mixing and More

[DLKnives]

GOOD Morning Random Mixers!

I am getting sad thinking about how I cannot see my 8 year old granddaughter. This is the longest I have gone without seeing her and it's getting hard. Last year she wrote me a note because Grandma wanted to take her home and I was still sleeping. Here it is - we were watching Peppa Pig the night before:

GOOD Morning Papa! I love you and OINK! Also have a super amazing day! xoxox Love Haylie.

I read it everyday!

Don't know if this will help (and forgive me if everyone is tired of my research suggestions) but this is what I have for raspberries:
(FA) Raspberry

(FW) Razzleberry

(INW) Shihsa raspberry

(TFA) Raspberry

(VT) Shisha raspberry

(PUR) Raspberry
I would use INW (be careful... it's strong) and avoid RF
FA is supposed to be the best

You can do all the research suggestions you wish to but if you had actually tried these and were giving your own opinion it would be a whole lot more helpful.

I wouldn't cancel any orders. We don't know how long this is going to last.

I thought the one I ordered from Walmart was a six pack but it was a 12 pack so between that and what we have we should be good for a while. If it gets too hard to find, my FiL has offered to share his stockpile.

 

[FranC]

No! Don’t feel bad!! Feel good we get excited for them. Artistry should never be rushed....

I did mix 2 new ones a couple days ago so that will hold me for a minute. They both have Acai in them because I had just found out I really like it.

BTW, you must have really given me a good lick in the azzzzzz. I'm all caught up on my mixing and also mixed over 1000ml of nic base.

Dd has what I think is a 12 pk upstairs and I got my 24 pack the other day. I' still keeping my eye open for the good stuff so I can grab it if in stock.

I'm not trying to be mean and I apologize in advance if it seems that way but I have to agree with Fran. I wouldn't call listing a handful of flavors as research unless there were flavor notes with them. I have fourteen raspberry type flavors in my stash but it wouldn't help anyone if I just listed them without giving mine or someone else's opinion or notes on them.

I was wrong...I have FA but I do not have FW raspberry. I do have RF and WG INW raspberry. I wonder which would be the best substitute for FW? I think I'll smell them and see which one is more candyish.

I pulled out my minifit today and put in some of my Mom's 18 mg strawberry biscuit that I never cut down. I vape 2 mg. This'll give me a buzz and make me nauseous I'm sure. Maybe it'll make me quit eating everything in sight. This quarantine is not good for the waistline.

I don't care for Raspberry (FA) on it's own. Too light and too floral. I'd go a different route with the raspberry.

What do you think your fav raspberries are. I kind of came out with a tie between INW and PUR. Since BCF sells INW I'll be going with that mainly. My bottle of PUR will last quite some time so I mix them. I do like INW Shihsa Raspberry and a couple others also.

I marked my bottle so next time I don’t have to measure!

Mine is marked off in 10 ml (for my SFTs) and also marked for VG/PG ratio. I just use a sharpie pen... too easy.

 

[FranC]

There is one more thing I need to do and that's organize my mixed stuff better.

My favorites are the two inw raspberries mixed, the pur is good too. I used to use tfa raspberry and sweet raspberry in a yogurt recipe that was good in my opinion. I also like VT juicy raspberry but was thinking someone on this thread didn't like it. I haven't gotten around to trying the RF black raspberry I got a while back.

 

[FranC]

I think I'll look through my partial recipe stuff and see if I can find some help for new recipes..

I still use my TFA and VT raspberries . Think I gave away most of my RF stuff.

I've explained this before... my research includes DIYorDie Noted, ELR, Reddit and now ATF. I also adjust my list according to comments from people here on ECF (add good ones, drop lousy ones) I have spent hours and hours on this project.
BTW, FW raspberry is not well regarded. Personally, I like PUR raspberry (but yes, I haven't tried very many) When 3 different sources agree that a certain flavor sucks, I won't bother even trying it (or if 3 say one is the best, it goes first on my wishlist)

I personally don’t care who thinks a flavor isn’t “well regarded”.

Sorry about getting testy

I’m on some kind of a roll today. I got my mixes organized and Now I’m gonna give shot at a new recipe idea.......maybe.

I learned long ago not to give a rip about anyone's opinion of a flavor unless they can provide descriptors. For example, I stated that Raspberry (FA) is light and floral. Personally, I don't like it. But I can guarantee you there are many who like light and floral. They're not wrong, they're not weird, they're not aliens. They just have different preferences than I. Something being "well regarded" does not compute with me as it relates to vaping flavors.

Deep breath..... exhale......slowly

 

[vaper1960]

@hittman , I do have some basic notes (on paper) on many of the flavors... just don't have time to add them to my list. If someone mentions a specific use for a flavor, I will dig them out and try to help. The list has hundreds of flavors... (and I'm still working on it)
