Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

That looks yummy I have most of it I might substitute boysenberry though, I don't like raspberry is why. Looks good though otherwise.

I have never mixed someone else's recipe since I am going for the Mango Lassi as best I can well, why NOT start with a mommy @FranC recipe?

I need to get on those applications so I can have some fun. Heh

Anna

I like Boysenberry too. Thinking that would be good.

Got our tax refund last week after 11 weeks. You can't even call and ask if there's a problem because their help line doesn't do help at the moment. It was a huge refund too. My wife retired beginning of the year and it was too late to adjust the ACA payments. Plus we had got in the habit of having excessive tax withheld from SS checks and IRA withdrawals.

So, I'm going to buy some vaping treats. Don't know what yet. Big flavor order for sure. My regulars are all about 1/4 to 1/3 full now. Definitely get big bottles of the one shots. Pick up some new flavors. Might even get a couple of bottles of my old pre-mixed VV favorites which I haven't had for 5 years. I just got a BB and love it. I'm tempted to get another one now they have the red in stock. Or maybe some inserts for the one I have.

And new tires for the truck.

WooHoo enjoy that refund

It all depends on the flavor. Which Pb did you get?

TFA Peanut Butter

 

[FranC]

Huh, a version of that (from January 20) is already in the blog. I've added this one as v2.

Ok

 

[FranC]

TFA Peanut Butter

Yup,I like that one too.

 

[dennism]

Sometimes at night, for a snack, I cut an apple into 8 wedges and slather them with peanut butter. I'm hoping to some how replicate this with a mix.

My red one is due here Monday. I think the BB is a love it or hate it kind of mod. For me, it’s just about perfect. VV= virgin vapor? If so, you get the pmta email?

I placed a small(7bottle) order with bcf on Thur. the 14th, received it today Sat. the 16th, very impressive. I think I found my new, go to, for flavor orders. I gave them all a smell test nice aroma, but the peanut butter was like opening a jar of Jif, made my mouth water.
What is the best % for single flavor tests?

I usually do 4-6% unless I know it’s a strong flavor.

@Zazie One for the blog.

Rhuberry Cannoli
TFA Raspberry 1.5%
VTA Rhubarb Compote 3%
PUR Raspberry 2%
INW Shisha Vanilla 2%
WF Cannoli Shell 2.5%

I have to make that. How long of a steep?

@Zazie

I’ve decided that I like this one that I made with untried flavors well enough to go in the blog. It might not taste like a malt but I really like it.

 

[dennism]

Thanks, I'm just trying to get a general idea.
Another stupid question. For a single flavor test, is it shake and vape, or do you steep it?

One of my favorite snacks! Hope the vape version turns out tasty!

I usually hit 5% on untried new flavors, about like Hit does.

Depends on the flavor, but...

I mix my "new" blends in 10 ml sizes. Usually give 'em at least a day Then into a tank, leaving about 6mls to age in the bottle. Since I usually have a dozen mods going, steeping in the rta also happens.

Fruits and such are generally good as snv, but if custards, cheeses, tobaccos and similar profiles, at least a couple weeks, maybe a month.

 

[stols001]

It depends on the flavors. Most fruits are pretty shake and vape. Some creams, bakery vanillas and whatnot you have to let them steep. It just depends.

Ugh what a morning turned into afternoon. I did 2 more applications and let me tell you I HAE applications that make you write stuff in little boxes when it is clearly visible on the resume you spent OH FIVE or SIX days making and even uploading the dang thing (and supporting documents) takes a half hour. Grow a pair and look at my resume thank you. It was also in WV I PROMISE you, I am qualified (although I do actually think WV is a nice place to live. Meh.)

Tiny boxes, just enter "See Attached".

Week or two should be good.

Yeah, I got the email. That's what got me thinking about the old juices. The one I remember as my #1 favorite isn't there any more. But Kona Coffee was good too. And a couple of others. It's been 5 years so I don't remember that clearly.

 

[NolaMel]

I like it irl. I was wishing you luck in making a tasty vape version.

I usually let them sit at least a day.
