Hey, SMT, you know that Dreamsicle recipe you posted on the shiny thread? It calls for FA Vanilla Classic (Madagascar), which I don't have. I do, however, have CAP French Vanilla, CAP Simply Vanilla, DIYFS Holy Vanilla (v1), FA Vanilla Bourbon, Hangsen Vanilla, INW Shisha Vanilla (which you already suggest using to up the vanilla quotient), and TPA Vanillin. Any recommendations on which would sub best for Vanilla Classic? Mille grazie.

In conclusion, it looks like yesterday was a good day for me to fall behind in this thread.
Hey, Zazie, I had to look at my notes to refresh the noggin'.

Madagascar vanilla is most like the vanillas we use in the USA for baking. I would try it with Holy Vanilla at 2-2.5% first. My second choice would be CAP French Vanilla. It's supposed to be comparable to FA Madagascar. FA Vanilla Bourbon would make it darker and more earthy but that might be good.

Dreamsicle:

FA Blood Orange 2.5%
FA Royal Orange 2.5%
FA Madagascar Vanilla (vanilla Classic) 2.5% [raise it to 3% if you want more vanilla]
FA Vienna Cream 2%
FLV Cream 6-8 drops (it's strong) to thicken + fuller mouthfeel

If you want even more vanilla flavor add 1-1.5% INW Shisha Vanilla (yummy).

Maybe try this? (Found online)

How do I factory reset my Geekvape aegis?
To perform a factory reset, follow these steps:
  1. Power off the mod by clicking the fire button 5 times.
  2. Hold the + and – keys simultaneously until the firmware screen appears.
  3. CONTINUE TO HOLD the + and – keys, and hold down the fire button.
  4. The factory reset will complete after this.
Tried that, didn't work.

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scallop. I thank you.

In other words, four 16-ounce glasses, so what got your doc into such a tizzy? Jeezum crow.
She got all whacked out about one of the levels in my bloodwork. I don't recall which one but it stood out. Honestly I think it was a fluke or maybe I drank a bunch of water or coffee before the blood draw. It's never been an issue on any previous yearly test. I get a decent amount of exercise daily walking/training Carli so that's not an issue.

Oh yeah, she is from Poland and sometimes talks to me in Polish. o_O I have zero clue what she is saying. She is a real good/thorough doc but she does have a tendency to go into Mom mode at times. But she's a trip and fun. :D

I talk with Skeebo by PM, and we are both playing Skyrim feverishly lol. Lots of fun if by fun you mean dying a lot. :lol:

Had to look up Skyrim. I am not at all up-to-date w/current video games. My last craze was with the old games that required tokens or coins at an arcade place. Think PacMan era give or take a few yrs. :eek:

With today's games I would be very bedazzled with the graphics. Hence I would lose real fast. :lol:

    I think I’d lose faster than you. Never been a game player.

    Has anyone tried the WF SC Pistachio Cream? Trying to put a small order together at DIYVaporSupply.
    Haven't tried that one. Every time I go in thinking of getting a small order a larger one seems to happen. :facepalm:

    I DO! I have had decades where I have liked dying a lot. LOL. Too bad (I mean good thing) I had a kid who needed feeding and watering. Plus, your parent suicides it puts you at epic risk of like doing the same. My sweet kiddo was ADHD as all get out (possibly more due to trauma he sees to have outgrown it unlike me, LOL) but he is NOT bipolar. He took like 16 hits of acid together and came out of it more or less FINE rather rapidly. Why give him permanent depression seems unfair? So yeah.

    Oh my I had two vape successes! First my "Mango lassi #1 is so much better! It still needs steeping but it is vapable now. I think that extra tiny bit of nutmeg plus bumping down the green mango is gonna be SWEET. When I decipher my scrawls I will post the recipe but I warn you it is a PITA.

    I decided by sniffing which one to try. But then I was like "You need stress relief master the dang Brunhilde man, before it kills you.." I put it on my steampunk nano TUBE I had to (I got the SS) in both,, they look born for each other. I will post a pic soon. Right now I have it corralled in its own little cage area, because the husband's drill needs to charge and he doesn't have bits. Maybe a pic later. It can't fall over. For tesla cigs, it is remarkably fragile at least the FIRST one was.

    I just realized I am still within the expedited reinstatement period for returning to SSDI and like, no medical review. This is intensely relieving actually because it will start from my last missed work day and like, I get health insurance immediately. Thank God. We will definitely be able to move and I can resign after my last day of FMLA runs out. I do not think I will do a giant FU actually, as I don't need or want to and who knows when or if like I decide to sue. Probably never, I'm just not sue happy although never has a job cost me more in lifepoints and money, probably oh well.

    So yeah, the Brunhiilde, I was somewhat skeptical as I hate top decks and I was all like 'IDK" but I coiled it and wicked it (I watched Phil he seems to be the most dependable) and it Is GOOD. It does just have that annoying "Mystery decide on the airhole below the deck but I just went with the largest one I am a very airy MTL vaper. But, it is GOOD. I am shocked.

    The only thing I dislike about it is that dang side hole fill thing. It is not large enough and it is messy. It is definitely my favorite one shot I found, only like, IDK it either tastes totally different in top deck atomizers or it needs to steep more IDK.

    This is the first top deck atomizer I have not hated.

    I am taking a break for now, then a bit of research, not that much (the husband has really been a mess he's getting me all freaked out and horrible.)

    So yes, yeah, blah blah we shall see how all things go but I think I will feel relief. I had to tell the husband to leave he was making me HORRIFICALLY anxious.

    I totally get he's like, "Oh man she is going to leave me behind to do "all the tasks' but like I don't know what else to do. I mean, man I am CHOOSING WV for him (although I like it too) over being near my KID. I mean I think it WILL be better but like holy goodness I do not know how much more of an apology I can give him. Dude.

    This seems so wrong to me. Surely it used to be cooler than that in New Hampshire? But then a friend of mine who lives in Vermont is always telling me about the sweltering summer weather there.

    I'm so grateful it remains pretty cool here. Still, the temperature is rising. The water keeps it down, but it's getting hotter, too. A lot of the lobsters have already emigrated to Canada.

    That reminds me of @barkfunklerbunk, although his catch is different. I wonder if he got a cat.
