Fran, I just realized that it’s been 20 days that the two HS tobacco flavors have been steeping. I guess it’s about time to try them.
In my experience some tobacco flavors have a way of maturing into darker and darker shades a month or even more after the initial mix. If that happens you can always dilute with unflavored.

20 day testing will at least give you an idea of where they are headed, but they won't be fully matured at that point.

Morning mixiologists. I over slept .It's not what I really wanted but a good reminder I cannot CANNOT have my alarm clock on my nightstand so better TODAY than tomorrow although it wasn't really my goal.

it is hittitng me OOPH that will have 40 hours less time as of Tomorrow. Trying to not think about that and I know I'll get more EFFICENT I mean, I know it just happens.

Still. . A little prep left but man I think I'm going to ah, wake up first .Etc. It's frustrating not knowing how things work, either yet. Maybe my first day will be my most stressful day? IDK.

    Somewhere between here and there
    I got a 50ml of blueberry milkshake mixed. I really need to get my act together when it comes to mixing. Some stuff downstairs and some stuff upstairs makes mixing a chore. I’d also like to get some premixed base made up.

    I cleaned my enthion and loaded some HS magic mix(aka fortune strike). It’s strong in the enthion at 8%. However I know from other flavors tried in it that the flavor will be a bit stronger than when I get it into an rta. It’s a pretty much straight tobacco flavor with little or no sweetness. I can see where Fran uses nuts and other flavors to compliment it. Not bad at all.

    It's a great mixer. Doesn't add sweetness so you can add a sweet flavor in a blend.

    Where is the blueberry milkshake recipe

    It’s very simple. I’m using 7% VT blueberry milkshake and 2% tfa blueberry extra. I got the milkshake on a recent order but wasn’t tasting the blueberry enough so I added some. It’s better after a week or two steep.

    Had some begger (best polite description I can come up with) not liking how expensive vaping is. It's only 10¢ a coil and $1 for 30ml for me. Showed her a coil.
    "She couldn't do that, her kids couldn't do that", I'd have to do for them. I know the vaping/smoking SMOK vape kid bought the stuff for DIY but hasn't done it so I'm sure I'd have to do DIFT there too.
    No thanks. I'll teach, I'll even give stuff to get you started, but if you say you can't learn before trying I won't bother trying either.

    My Gremlin order had no hiccups. Odd they had 15ml marked as none when they had some and would've got more money selling them at 75% off than selling two as 30ml 75% off.

    I'm thinking about trying a biscuit, cocoa, sweet and/or fresh cream mix, any ideas?
    NR strawberry biscuit is a great biscuit with a bit of a boost from INW biscuit 1%. The strawberry is very soft and will cover easily if you want to use a different fruit. INW biscuit at 1.5-2% is a very good base to build on with FA cookie biscotto and the butter of your choice.

    Hi @FranC,
    Sorry for the tardy reply.:blush: I have invoked a temporary self-depravation of ECF until I finish my concentrate reorganization. The procrastinator in me, would rather read about it, than do it.:facepalm: So, until I get it done, I am not keeping up.:nun::D

    I still check in every day (or so) to check for tags and PMs. But, otherwise, I will have some catching up to do.:rolleyes:

    As to your question:
    Yes; 1% of 30mL is 0.30mL (Not ".3%" as you wrote; but I think that was just a typo.).

    If you have created a dilution of 1% Italian Cream, and only want to use only 1% of that dilution, then you are correct. That is going to incorporate only 0.0001 of the original/full strength concentrate.

    1% of 1% = 0.01 x 0.01 = 0.0001 = 0.01% = one ten thousandth of the original concentrate.

    The most common dilution I am familiar with is a 10% (0.10) dilution. And, that dilution, is then treated like a traditional concentrate. This is how I have seen other mixers make using otherwise difficult-to-use ingredients, like FA Condensed Milk, Acetyl Pyrazine, and FLV Rich Cinnamon, easier to control minimal adjustments.

    By doing so (the 10% dilution), I have to use 10 times the volume, to get the same effect, as the original concentrate. If I were to do a 1% dilution; I would have to use 100 times the volume, to get the same effect.

    That doesn't mean a mixer can't use a 1% dilution as a concentrate... I just have not heard of it being done.:)

    HI All,
    I was looking for something else and came across this, it looks like a perfect way to get completely organized!!
    Check it out it can work on a desktop or in a cabinet even a refrigerator if you wanted to.
