    I have every aegis mod/pod made except for the boost luxury. I have bought so much lately that I don't want to spend the money. I have a legend but don't have the legend with the zeus picture on it. Not sure if that counts or not.
    It counts.

    I say get it. It'll bug you if you don't. I am a huge Stephen King fan and have read his books since I was a little girl and have been collecting them ever since. I have most of them but still a few to go. I get a couple every Christmas to add to my collection. Two of them are no longer in production and you can find them if you are lucky for about $500 each (The Secretary of Dreams Vol 1 & 2). Needless to say I'm letting those two go. I'll just have an incomplete collection. I also love marbles and I have a huge bag of them from my son's childhood and when I find them. I found one in my Dad's yard the other day. Probably one of ours from long ago. Crazy stuff! But a mod is not that expensive. Weren't the Legends discontinued?

    Well one of my Smoks gave up the ghost, but not the one with the bad screen. The other refuses to turn on. I may give the two to my brother and see if can get a single working mod out of them. I broke out a Vaporesso gen 220w. Its lightweight compared tho what I have been using. Gonna take some getting used to. Also I think one of my batteries is bad. May end up buying a new pair.

    I'm still waiting for you fellow mixing folks to spit out some recipe ideas. My creative side is temporarily broken down.
    How about something with black currant? I just got that one and don't really know what to do with it.

    I would think that most funnels should work....


    I think they removed it....
    if we ask @Skeebo nicely :D maybe they'll share it again
    I do not keep up on this thread much but where is this recipe Mark? I looked in Zazie's blog

    I was having one of those "I get into my feelings days", apologies.

    Acetyl Pyrazine tfa .5%
    Brown Sugar tfa 2.5%
    Coconut fa 1.5%
    Ethyl Vanillin tfa 2%
    Kentucky Bourbon tfa 4%
    Oak Wood fa 1%
    Toasted Almond tfa 3%
    Vanilla Bourbon fa 2%

    I think it's good at 5 to 7 days, but it's vapeable at 2. If you mix a big batch keep in mind that Kentucky Bourbon tfa can fade over time. Mix a small batch (10 ml) at first because you may want one of the flavor profiles to be more pronounced, for instance, I like to raise the vanilla bourbon fa to 4%. Be careful, the overall percentage is high in this mix, and going too much higher could cause some flavor muting.

    That's great. Do you recall where you purchased them?
    Try hardware store or auto supply. Those tend to have wider openings. They’re what I used to fill solution bottles in the lab. Just take a bottle with you so you can test fit the funnel

    I have a Cheezy Black Currant Biscuit recipe that I liked but was a bit too sweet. I added a bit of Rhubarb and will try that again soon.

    For new recipes, I have a Huckleberry Bourbon to mix. I need to come up with another 2-3 recipes before hauling all the cases out to mix.

    So, there is a real place named Treasure Island? I had no idea. @JCinFLA, are you a pirate?

    Yep! Some of my best years as a kid were when we lived there. We only had to cross what used to be a lightly travelled, 2-lane road to get on Sunset Beach. Was a 3-4 minute walk from our house at most. It's really changed over the years though. The road is larger and much busier, condos have replaced many homes, tourists and more tourists, etc. ;)

    I rode my bike or walked back then for transportation. It took years as an adult, to afford this for my shopping trips with fellow matees:

    It's no fun though trying to escape all those people in other boats and on shore...who are always trying to snatch the stuff we've found at great sales!

    Well, sure she is. How else do you think she finds all those incredible deals? :)

    Just for inspiration purposes.

    If memory serves me correctly didn't you share a milkshake base a long time ago? When I lived in Massachusetts there was this ice cream shop that served up a mean bourbon milkshake...

    Finally mixed the first of the HIC recipes, the xtra smooth tiramisu and it is very good. Not a Fran recipe cause it is killer sweet. I can see adding lots of other stuff for variation, like chocolate, rum and wafer, biscuit.
    Happy to hear this report, since I'm planning to mix this during my next session.

    It's not in the blog because Skeebo deleted the recipe before I could add it. @markfm quoted his post, so it can be found there, but maybe @Skeebo would give me permission to add it to the blog (pretty please?)?

    Aha! Already done!

    Thank you, sir.
