Random DIY mixing and More

I’m also using the tank on a jac dna mod so sometimes the mod can make a difference.

Yes it can.

Have you tried this? (Oh I got a new coil installed and it is seated PERFECTLY. If that coil comes loose it will be voodoo magic.

Okay, so I use rayon. Sometimes, it's hard to stuff enough rayon through the coil to really JAM the hell of it down into the hole with enough stuff (YOU HAVE to STUFF IT) without distorting the coil. What I do in such cases is I take tiny little balls of rayon (I also soak everything in eliquid so I know how much I am STUFFING down in there, and it doesn't have to like, be attached to the coil or anything, you just stuff stuff stuff with your screwdriver or whatever you are using until you are JAM packed with rayon in there and I am fairly certain (based on my experiments) you won't have a leaking problem.

STUFF until it is overflowing almost. The other side can be a bit looser if you want, but like JAM that rayon down in there, I think.

@FranC, we will leave early Friday morning. I mean we are cleaning as we are going and Friday will be the "mop ourselves out the door day with whatever we need for the cars and etc.

I still feel better today but I need a break. I am doing the kitchen . I am VERY good at packing up kitchens, but I still hate it.

Take a break. You have 4 days.

You are using condensed milk with florals? That is WAY too high. I use it with teas at 1.5 percent and while I personally HATE florals and think they all taste like perfume, you will overwhelm the delicate, soapy taste of the floral and just be like, "This tastes like milk that has gone off."

I am a connoisseur of condensed milk and I love it but you gotta use it SPARINGLY.

Hmm... I wonder if it could improve one of my mango lassis NOW SPLIT INTO SIX and the 6th one is SORT of acceptable. Why not. Like I have ANYTHING TO LOSE at this point... LOL

Yeah but they feel like dog days in that you should get more done than you have. I am going back to the kitchen I have annoyed the husband enough that he is letting me PACK THE SPICES.

Heh. I'm like, "I will leave the lid off dude if you must have spices."

I am never moving again after this time plus 2 more times but the other times better be freaking EASIER.
Gah.

I got in a workout and haven’t done much else today. I need to balance the checkbook.

I think I’m going to have to give in and buy another case for flavors. I’ve still got a bunch to put away and some day I might actually get my bcf order.

Moving does suck big time

I can’t believe you still haven’t got that. Your order must be cursed or something.

Did you say it was shipped by fedex? My order shipped with usps and is in town already and is due tomorrow. Why fedex?

I've been going over my new mix and trying to figure did I use too much or not enough of the flavors. The only one I'm having trouble with and it's not really trouble but just never used the flavor before. Actually I've never used any of them before but the milk is one that doesnt really add flavor as much as maybe smoothness or other nuances. Can anyone tell me a good starting point for percentage of a milk flavor? I'm thinking I may have went a bit high at 3%. I've looked for recipes that use this and at what percentage and that's why I think 1% or even less is the key.

I looked at reviews for FA condensed milk and just about everyone said do not go over 1% and preferably even lower. Some use one drop in a recipe. I thought I had some but I don’t see it in my elr flavor stash.

Yep I did have some. Milk condensed from FA but I’ve never used it. Notes say low %.

The first time his order was shipped usps and was opened

Ahhh. Makes sense now.

What Milk? I only have TFA Milk and that's a 1%er for me.

 

[FranC]

Ahhh. Makes sense now.

Not just that but most of his order was removed

I use rayon in some of my RTAs (I do like it very much) you have to twist it (but it doesn't stay twisted like cotton... hard to keep a pointed end) then I have to twist it through the coil, pull it through and then untwist/pull it back and forth to even it out (but it's worth it) I would use rayon for all of them but some tend to leak so just use cotton for those.

Honestly (and I get a lot of crap every time I say this) I do a SFT (single flavor test) for every new flavor. Then I know where I'm going with recipes... nuff said

It was originally shipped by usps and was opened and most of it was gone. They reshipped it fedex 2 day but it’s been sitting at the local hub since the 26. I think they lost it but won’t admit it.

Have you notified BCF?

I used to do a lot of sft but after accumulating 500+ flavors, I just got tired of doing them. I still do one once in a while.

 

[hittman]

Have you notified BCF?

Yes. We have both put traces on the package but haven’t gotten any information yet.

Today is confusing... mixed feelings. My son dropped off the grandchildren (four of them) Mom and I love having them over... but at the same time, her cat (17 years old) is dying (I know... have read many posts on here about people with older cats/dogs and having to "put them down") No need to tell me the stories (have followed all of them) and thank you in advance for support) but the reality we are going to have to put her down tomorrow (it's been four days of her crying... sometimes agonizing crying) We didn't tell the kids (put the cat in the garage) but mom and I know what we have to do... I can't seem to find the emojie for crying...
