Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

I'm right there with ya Fran. Mine might have been used once. My Rick's has never been opened, and my Cap SS is still nearly full. If your voice is deep and hoarse, one of those moustache masks, and you can grunt, you might be able to pass as a Frank. Maybe. Dude.

Just curious but if you dislike sweet vapes as much as I do, why do you have 2 sweeteners?

I hope the busy day is a sign things are starting to pick up for you.

I actually got in a bit of work today. I'll have to order some parts for some so those will be a couple days out but today is looking better.

As far as tp goes it is very hard to snag a pkg from Walmart online so I was surprised to see a full stock in the store. I guess they’re saving 99% for the folks that go to the store.

We went to Target on Saturday and they were fully stocked on TP and paper towels.

I have a 30ml of Cotton Candy that is basically em. It is still full after all the years I've had it. Used a very few drops of it very long ago.

I think I still have a 4oz bottle of EM somewhere from when I used to use it all the time. A lot of bill's recipes had a fair amount of EM in them. That's where I got my start with mixing was his tfa thread.

I got some of my recipes ideas there long ago but had to drop the percentages down. Even back when I first started mixing they were too high for me.

The Ginger Ale and Extra Ginger are the ingredients of one of my favorite recipes. I hope it's not them.

Thank goodness you can still enjoy them even if it turns out I can't.

I asked the sweetener question not too long ago and here is the list I made:

Meringue
E.M.
Honeysuckle
CAP Super Sweet
Sugardaddy sweetener
Swanson Liquid Stevia (alcohol free, sold at grocery stores)
Stevia Sweetener from BCF
Erithritol
TFA Sweetener
Marshmallow
Cotton Candy

Yes us white haired people have to unfairly be put in the "old" category. I had my first white hair at the innocent age of 16! That's OK...I can take it. (I'm joking...I'm not sad!) Most people love my white hair though and I definitely love it better than the too dark sort of skunky look of the red roots and dark ends from over coloring I had for a while. I can pick out an overly processed head of white hair from a mile away. My sis in law is one...she really needs to let her white hair shine and stop coloring. I think Mike Pence is hot!

No my calm day isn't happening. Nobody at work will leave me alone! Just too much. No mixing done. Yet. I guess I better go answer some more emails. Is it 4 o'clock yet?

It's not just his hair, though that plays a role. His whole manner is elderly.

But you know what we always say here: taste is subjective.

Just a taste here and there. Didn't everybody?

Maybe not everybody, but lots did

One recipe:

LIBRARY PASTE
Printed from COOKS.COMLibrary Paste - Recipe | Cooks.com
1 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. alum
4 c. water
Mix in saucepan. Cook until clear and thick. Add 30 drops oil of cloves or wintergreen and store covered.

Sorta like a sweet 'n sour, and sticks to your ribs

OMG

 

[Zazie]

Nummy. Though I can't help wondering why paste needs flavoring.

 

[DavidOck]

Same reason unflavored nic does?

No accounting for taste. Maybe vanilla extract instead of the others, since it's eaten and not vaped... hmmm...

 

[ShamrockPat]

........ why do you have 2 sweeteners?

I count 3. The TFA was a part of my very first order years ago. The Cap SS was me being stupid, watching you know, famous youtuber where just about every GD mix, ooh he's just gotta use it. And Rick's was sent as a freebie. Oddly enough that sickly sweetness was giving me headaches when I first started vaping, and caused me to venture into DIY.

Probably for the folks that want a taste

 

[vaper1960]

You're very welcome. Oh, yes...I've ordered from Bull City many times. Always a very pleasant experience so far...got what was ordered, very fair prices, quick delivery, etc.

I love BCF... even though I'm in CA they ship fast (faster than River Supply that's right here in CA)

Well, it's good that it got you into DIY, Of course, I'm always happy to find someone to share my aversion to sweet vapes with.

 

[vaper1960]

So far, I've been just using the flavor concentrates that I bought, but I've never used any sweeteners though. I feel that some of the concentrates I have could do witha bit of a sweeter note. Is there something that you guys could recommend?

I've never used sweeteners but once in a while would like to try a small amount... (FLV) Sweetness is what I want to try (they also have Cotton candy if you like Ethyl maltol.

 

[PeterKay]

Just a FYI
TFA Sweetener is sucralose at 5% with Ethyl Maltol at 5%.
Cap SS Water, Sucralose, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate
Ricks sugar daddy

• Sucralose.
• Stevia.
• Erythritol.
• EM.
• A small amount of distilled water.

Wow, Capella Super Sweet sounded great- until I saw that. I have some flavour concentrates from that company and I'm happy with the performance, however, I'm asking myself- do I really want to vape preservatives and acid regulators?

 

[vaper1960]

I bought 2 different watermelon concentrates. 60ml of one, 500ml of another.

Forgive me for asking but why the heck would you buy 500ml of a flavor (or was that a typo?)
I'm not big on watermelon (prefer honeydew) but Wayne (DIYirDie) has this one shot called Water Malone that is supposed to be great.

 

[JCinFLA]

Well, at least @stols001 gets it.

I do, too!

 

[PeterKay]

I'd

Because it was on sale by the company where I was getting my nicotine solution, free shipping as well since I was buying the nic. Costed as much as 60ml of other concentrates. I actually bought 2x 500ml bottles, watermelon and the other was pineapple+strawberry.

 

[vaper1960]

FJ is nice that they often have 10ml on sale for $0.99 but other than that, you're better off shopping at BCF
though I would suggest looking at River Supply, it's your best bang for your buck, lots of 15ml for $1.50 and quite a few on sale/discontinued for under $1.00
river supply has good prices but bull city has more brands, eh I don't know if that's really true but BCF has things that I can't get from river, like VT brand, WF mascarpone cheese, WF Banana Candy and until recently ws-23 but river now carries it.

I also love River Supply... and I like many of their Purilum flavors (very affordable too) Scored a bunch of the discounted (half price) ones too. Very affordable nic too.

Forgive me for asking

I forgive you
