What does that taste like?
Hmm, like honeysuckle blossoms, when you pick the flower and suck the nectar out of the base of the flower. It reminds me of summertime as a kid, riding my bicycle, seeing a honeysuckle vine in flower on the side of the road, stopping with my best friend to enjoy the sweet nectar, sitting with my bare feet in the creek, watching cars go by, and dreaming of the future.

Maybe that's why I enjoy it so much, simpler, better times. Anyway, off memory lane, it's sweet, but not sickening sweet, lightly floral in a good way, like...honeysuckle flowers. It sweetens the pear, and rounds it out, there's still the twang of the pear, and the juiciness of it, but it complements it nicely. I gather you don't like sweet, not sure if you'd like it or not, but it's not sugary sweet, more natural sweet. Probably not a very helpful description, sorry, but I love it. It's one of the flavors I stocked up on. May be a southern thing, not sure.

    I haven’t tried honeysuckle in a vape but I do have it. I used to have a honeysuckle bush in my back yard but my dad accidentally weedeated it down one day. He was just trying to help. My son and I loved going down there and sucking on them. I have two viburnum bushes in the front yard that are currently blooming and they smell like honeysuckle. I walk out my front door and it’s strong. I am getting them removed as they grew too big over the years.

    Too bad they grew too big.

    I have six strawberries I haven’t used. I think I need to make a list of my unused and come up with recipes before I end up with a hodgepodge left over.
    I like most of us made a list of the unused flavors.

    Wow, that brings me back. As a kid in NYC there were these bushes/vines which we used to pull the flower off and suck on them. Must have been the same plant.
    That was great.

    They're all over, couldn't remember how far north they survive, thought it was a southern thing. I love Honeysuckle nectar, then and now (vape).

    As a young kid, we moved around a lot, being a a military family, until we settled in Texas. Another one of my fondest memories was when we were in Massachusetts. I was around 5 years old, and we took a field trip to an apple orchard. The class went out and picked apples (must have had adult help, don't remember that part), and put them in woven baskets to bring home. I remember the crisp cool day, the smell of apple skins, dry and sweet, a distant smoky wood fire, sticky sap bleeding out of cuts in the bark, lightning bugs at sundown, beautiful smiling women, the crunch of leaves underfoot, an awe-inspiring amber sunset. Memory is a strange thing, I can remember that so many years ago, but what I had for dinner last night, forget about it!

    I got the garden planted (tilling yesterday was just work but planting today was very relaxing and satisfying)
    Was going to jump in and do a bunch of mixing when my son showed up asking me to come do some "weed wacking"... when I got home dinner was ready and now I'm stuffed and got lazy... it happens. Got my BCF order and need to make some SFTs and still need to add nic to my 0mg juices (and mix some tobacco flavors to steep) Oh well... tomorrow's another day.
    Slightly :offtopic:, but important for gardeners.
    Organic matter is the single best thing you can add to your soil. Liberal applications of farmyard manure in February and late October.
    It encourages microbes and bacteria, which, in turn, feed worms. They aerate the soil, improve drainage, and produce humus, worm poo, the best feed for plant roots.

    the whole Sue debacle.

    Sue was not a name I thought about often, other than anonymous "Mr. Sue." He used to come to our AA meetings and he was my favorite crossdresser who was like, clearly a dude, and way too with it to go the whole like, hormone route, but he/she (pronouns varied) would come with makeup and ears pierced, and it was the BEST because he had awesome sobriety and she NEVER one time mentioned sex or sex changes or was whiny. Sue was SO FREAKING awesome you'd just be like, "sober/boundaries/sweet." His/her presence only IMPROVED meetings because everyone else was on their best behavior. Even my most adolescent uh, sociologist was like , "I will ask ZERO questions on the matter," even though I wanted to be "How come you so well adjusted???" Only he'd probably be like, "Darlin' keep coming back it's called sobriety."

    Sue was the most happily androgyny-based person I have ever met. He was also in his 40s I think and clearly had not saved for like, hormones or nothing. So I say, SUE can be a boy or girl ,but there are times: addition saves lives.

    Anyway, I just will now never think of the name Sue the same way again, but my hope is there may be other HORRID mixes, I mean come on that is kinda the point. I have high hopes for Blueberry. I would have high hopes as a single flavor mix, but like really.....

    I think nolamel was the only one doing a CHERRY you lot of non-robotrippiing cowards and @NolaMel, I am watching you.....

    I'm just trying to spread the love and keep the peace between you game players so you can focus all your discontent at ME.

    Also, artificial strawberry is another flavor that makes me puke. "All my untried strawberries plus cream and a light pound cake" sounds like a POLICE line up.

    Headache still gone, everything else is the same but hey at this point I almost don't CARE. An 11 dey or so headache is nothing to sneeze at I now feel even more intense sympathy for migraine sufferers.

    Anyone who focuses discontent at you, Anna, is a c0ckwomble.
    Players can knock each other out.
    You have more life experience, and an open heart, than the majority of excuses for human beings that go about their business making money and f0cking other people over.
    I salute you, and respect you.
    Remain honest to yourself. :thumb:

    I first sucked on honeysuckle in Potsdam, New York, which is close enough to Canada for my fourth grade class to have gone on a day trip to Montreal.
