Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Gotta be honest here,I'm getting drunk tonight,as simple as that.
Went out this morning,spent 10 euros on 2 bottle of fake baileys and I'm downing all 2 bottles tonight while watching old episodes of Three's Company.

Pops starts radiotherapy on tuesday,20 straight sessions which mean a month of having to endure his bad temper so tonight? yeah i need them 2 bottles and then some.

p.s.not a drinker,don't like beer or wine,only drink if i got out and given that im home taking care of my pops means i never go out,just didn't want to give the impression that I'm a booze hound

Hope you don’t pay too badly for that in the morning. Best of luck to you and your Pops.

I guess while I'm still learning the art of mixing, I just come up with utilitarian names.

what's a utilitarian name, precious, what is that like?

idk, both mixers and manufacturers make proper names rather than just flavours.. noticed it even has to do with the polpularity of a mix.

i always found it impractical, always requiring a step or two more (new windows/tabs/reading backside of product) to know what a mix / recipe is abt.. much prefer a name/title that tells me the gestaltflavour or the constituents

anyway, given that and wanting it to be noticed, selloutthatiam, i made a portmanteau of the constituents.

Umm... well, for example, I mixed a root beer float.. so I called it Root Beer Float. What's so impractical about that?

I like my names to indicate what’s in the mix. With that said I did name one mix Snake Venom.

today vaping the last of this version of my unending cactus pseudo clone experiment .

Cactus (Kaktus) (INAWERA) 1.50
Dragonfruit (FA) 1.50
Grape, White (FA) 3.00
Ice (Flavorah) 0.16
Lavender (FA) 0.08
Mandarin (Tanger) (FA) 2.00
Sour Wizard (FA 0.08
Spearmint (Flavorah) 0.40
Sweetness (Flavorah 0.16
Tangerine (Flavorah) 1.0

next up is this version (+13% flavour instead of the 10% above, with some other diff's) steeped 2 days before FA Mandarine and 2/3 with it:

Cactus (Kaktus) (INAWERA) 1.50
Dragonfruit (FA) 1.50
Ginger (Flavorah) 0.08
Grape, White (FA) 3.00
Ice (Flavorah) 0.20
Mandarin (Tanger) (FA) 2.00
Orange Citrus (Flavorah) 1.00
Sour Wizard (FA) 1.00
Spearmint (Flavorah) 1.00
Sweetness (Flavorah) 0.50
Tangerine (Flavorah) 0.75

After trying a few recipes with 10+ flavors and not liking them, I don’t even mix any with that many. Maybe I don’t have a good set of tastebuds but they just end up muddled to me.

I hope it goes better than expected. Oh, and enjoy the booze. It sounds like it’s much deserved.

If and when i decide to get into DIY i will come up with weird,funny and slightly insane names for my mixes.

Guys remember the movie ted and ted 2? they had some pretty funny names for the different strains,so yeah I'll be doing the same but with whatever e-juice mixes i come up with

Good morning people

So...I wake up to reports on a member's post again this morning.

When you have a beef/tiff/dislike with someone on a public forum and you gritch about them by name, you just made it a personal attack - what do you think that does ?
It causes the exact drama you were expecting it to.
It's YOUR beef with that person, not everyone else's.
So, that person sees your post about them and comes and responds. Then the back and forth starts and what do you have - disruption. Your friends join with you attacking that member...then their friends come to help their buddy...

See ?

So just put people you don't like on ignore and drop the drama.

You made me look back to yesterday and I couldn’t find a post that I thought was remotely reportable which makes me think we have a less than desirable person here.

 

[classwife]

this abt the same incident Class said abt a few days ago (feels longer)? with the howmanypages of reports she'd got and the irregular person who been pm-ing?

Can't be, the person with the 8 pages/160 reports is no longer here.
I closed his account - you are not welcome here when you cause disruptions.

Me too. Not muddled but just not worth it.

I’m about an hour wait into getting new tires and alignment on my youngest daughters car. These will last her through college and then some.

PM...

Thank you, Classy girl

They will hopefully be done soon.

I’m still trying to vape down some bottles before I think of mixing anything new. Too much mixed again but at least I switched to 15ml bottles so there isn’t as much.

 

[DavidOck]

Happy Saturday, folk.

I'm in the "descriptive name" camp, at least for my stabs. Borrowed, modified recipes from others, well, I'll usually use their names. I like to have a clue to the mix

After all, pepperoni sounds good, but a Unicorn Vomit pizza??

I’ve got a bunch mixed but a lot of it’s really old. I’m thinking of dumping most of it. If I ever get done here at the garage, I have a bunch of bottles and tanks to clean. I might stop on the way home and pick up some bagels or something.
