    I would agree. I have tried without nic and it just doesn't work. I normally use 12mg in my rtas but have to mix 6mg when testing the high power mods and tanks for reviews. I don't know that I'll ever consistently go lower than 12. I started at 36, went to 32 and 24. From there I was at 20 for a long time and just gradually worked my way down to 12.
    You started way higher than me. I’ve been impressed you could get back to 12mg. I tried 24 but settled with 18mg when I started. I’m down to 6mg with no plans to drop any farther.

    While still using the 24mg, I was also using snus and nasal snuff still trying to kick the cigarette habit. I'm surprised I never got nic sick.

    Good evening mixers. I don’t know if my tastebuds are on strike or what. I don’t taste the orange at all in the sunshine recipe. I get the lime and a faint citrus note. Maybe fruit mixes without a base just aren’t for me.

    Taste is a funny thing. I taste more orange and tangerine than anything else. On the inhale I get a mild lemon/lime taste but on the exhale all I get is orange and tangerine. I am thinking when I make more I will either increase the lime or decrease the oranges. I like it as is, but I want more lime.

    I think I would just let it sit/steep for a while. :)

    Wouldn't peach make it sharper, maybe even blah?

    I feel like the peach would make it a little more interesting. I've taken your advice and am letting it steep. If it doesn't improve I'll probably try the peach.

    I'm cofused, Lime Tahity cold pressed or Distilled, What is the difference?

    Both of them are newcomers to my stash. I haven't used the distilled, but I like the cold pressed quite a bit. I read the distilled is supposed to have more of a floral note.

    I made the Dinner Lady Lemon Tart Recipe I found on ELR with the Chemnovatic Lemons. It is really good! The next time I make it I will increase the Chem lemon to 4%. It's funny that there is no merengue in the recipe at all, but I still get a taste of something merengue-like. The only thing I did differently is I used the FA Cookie instead of the Chem Cookie. Should let it steep for 3 days.

    DIY Real Dinner Lady Lemon Tart Clone/Remix #5 Almost There by DIY Nightmare

    Acetyl Pyrazine (TPA) .50%
    Cookie (Chemnovatic) 1.50% (I used FA Cookie and same %)
    Lemon (Chemnovatic) 3% (I will increase this to 4% next mix)
    Lemon Cream Wafer (Chemnovatic) 5%
    Supersweet (Cap) .50% (I don't remember if I used sweetener at all, but if I did it would have been Stevia or EM)

    I really like the Honeysuckle I have, but it doesn't cause the ticklish feeling in the back of my throat that I associate with floral flavorings. I once had a rose juice that I really liked except it was too strong. I may try to mix a rose juice at some point, but no rush!

    I have been playing with those 2 chocolates also, but I had not tried adding vanilla cream and dairy. I was trying for a Milk chocolate, but never got there. :|

    KAS, your post got me interested in making a milk chocolate. Earlier I looked up many baking and confectionary recipes for making milk chocolate.

    Most use a combination of some, but not all, of these ingredients: Coconut (cream, milk or oil). Vanilla extract. Milk powder, sweetened condensed milk or regular milk. Heavy cream. Some use brown sugar, confectioners sugar, or regular sugar. Butter. Most all used both cocoa powder and cocoa butter. Some used chocolate chips.

    With those in mind I whipped up 10ml ea of…

    #1
    FLV Milk Chocolate
    VT White Chocolate (sitting behind/backing up MC)
    VT Milk Fresh
    FLV Sweet Coconut (tiny amount, won't notice it)
    FLV Vanilla Custard (not a real custard)
    INW Biscuit (won't notice it)

    #2
    WF Chocolate Chunks
    VT White Chocolate
    VT Milk Fresh
    FLV Sweet Coconut
    VT Vanilla Cream
    INW Biscuit

    I will know more after a good steep. :)

    ETA: Gonna make another one using VT Dark Chocolate.

    Good evening. I got the lawn mowed. Holy cow it’s humid out today. They said today is our coolest day of the week and it’s pretty hot.

    I now have three orders of flavors that haven’t been put away or added to my master list. I need to dig through my recipes to see why I ordered some of them. I’ve been trying the white hippo recipe I found on ATF. It’s kind of bland. If I was going to make it again, I’d add more of the two hazelnut flavors.

    Don't be surprised if you like that one better (with all those "creamy" flavors) Not into milk chocolate myself, but love Smores (with the marshmallow and graham)
