    Made the first beef stew of the season.

    P.S. I do not intend to vape it.
    That’s funny cause Dd bought a big pkg of burger this morning to make meatloafs for the freezer. She’s a good cook but hates cooking so she makes big batches of stuff.

    Hi folks! :D I have been playing with several MF flavors lately. Some of the others are still steeping. I haven't SFT'ed any of them. Just jumped in and created.

    I'm very pleased with MF's Caramel. Their caramel is not very strong (as far as MF's go). In my recipe it sits nicely just out front of the vanilla and cream. There is a very light graham cracker on the exhale. Overall it's pretty smooth and balanced. I don't consider FLV Vanilla Custard to be a custard in the same way CAP Vanilla Custard v1 or FA Custard Premium are. IMO it's more of a vanilla with a very light custard.

    Creamy Caramel Graham v1
    MF Caramel 2%
    FLV Vanilla Custard 1%
    FLV Cream 0.75%
    TPA Graham Cracker Clear 1%

    Steeped it for 25 days. Tested it at 18 and it really didn't change much over the next 7 days.

    I’m really surprised to see 2% in a MF flavor. It must not be as concentrated as others in their line. I’m glad it’s working for you.

    The wife wants me to take her to Target to get some vacuum she wants for upstairs. That way we’ll have one on each floor. We used to have one but she gave it to my oldest daughter for her apartment.

    Happy birthday @JCinFLA I hope your day is a great one, and you're up to whatever you desire.

    Bought a shelving unit at HD today. Truly it's a behemoth. 7.5' H x 7.5' W x 2' D and weighs about 200 lbs.
    Another instance for me not realizing actual scale of something until it's in front of me. I look online to see this unit available in my store. 7.5x7.5x2.. 5 shelves? Great. Get there see one on display, and the also the box it's in.. oh jeez.
    Can store quite a bit of flavors on this bad boy, but Im afraid I wouldn't even fit one shelf.. not even close.. so better start building up my BCF cart :D I didn't exactly buy this for vape stuff, but my storage containers with my flavors, vape gear and supplies will occupy some space. It's mainly for tools, paints, hardware stuff, etc.

    I originally had MF caramel at 1% and after steeping I didn't get much caramel flavor. Before I started with any of the MF's I read as much as I was able to find at ELR. There are a few folks there who are regularly using MF and have posted some really good info on % ranges. Pro_Vapes and SessionDrummer are pretty knowledgeable with MF.

    MF strawberry is another one that is on the weaker side. I did a very basic test with 1% FLV Cream and MF strawberry at 2% and that turned out nice and tasty for a 2 flavor mix. I'm thinking of adding FW white cake or FW vanilla cup cake to give it some foundation.

    Their guava on the other hand smells really strong. My kitchen had a very pleasing guava aroma for a bit. That one I did do an SFT at 2 drops in 30ml. It's still steeping.

    I didn't buy those.

    Don't know if you read what these two had to say about them at ELR so I'm copying their notes. The grape interests me.

    On the grape Pro_Vapes says:
    Easily the best grape flavor I've tried... a spot Welch's Grape for sure. It's pretty potent too. SF is .6% and will show up as a mixer @.2%. If you're looking for a very solid grape, then your search stops here.
    Preferred single flavor mix: 0.6%

    Grapefruit, SthrnMixer says:
    Like fresh cut grapefruit - more along the lines of Pink grapefruit in that it doesn't have that bitter taste found in white grapefruit. Sweetness is on the lower end but there is some there. Still it does benefit from the use of sweeteners. This is one of the rare flavors from Medicine Flower that doesn't need a long steep. It does get better with age because the components mellow out, but overall flavor remains unaffected by steep time. Works really well as an accent to other citrus flavors when used at low percents 0.2-0.3%.

    Not a flavor I would use as a stand alone just because I don't want to vape straight grapefruit. But anyone who does like that idea, this would be perfect.

    Preferred single flavor mix: 0.7%

    @hittman it's called the "Unlimit" which I am not sure is a word, not to mention like, it is a 2 in one (drop in coil AND RTA although they clearly favor the RTA by a company called Kizoku. They also sent me a side by side mod (so cool) called the "Technomod." I think that's a bit better known it's like a less expensive Aspire Mixx. I have everything ready for like, a finish to the video but I think I gotta do yoga first. I am being defeated by the fill port currently which is usually what happens. The last little thing. I mean, I asked for a Mtl version but they were like NO, this is on sale "just do your best". I think I may be the first chick doing a video review on ECF in quite a while but like, I'm also pretty sure it is not gonna be good. I have some text and pics. LOL but the start and the end, yeah. Health Cabin is giving me a workout this time.

    I am shocked I have gotten as far as I have and like HONESTLY, it may have to be in the dead of night, that I end it.

    I got distracted by a post I like, posted on (I don't even remember) but like it went Outside. Let me just say I am now gonna ignore the whole forum so I don't get taken there. It's not my thing. I am not their thing, That song, "So happy together" well we are like whatever the opposite it. "Paint it black," maybe. It's ah, not good.

    So yeah, I am CLOSE. But, this has increased my skill significantly. The hard part is gonna be vaping it it is SO subohm. I have an over flavored juice and some VG to get through it. Heh.

    You can even close it down with one coil for MTL vaping which I will probably do at some point but AFTER there review goes in. I only got one life.

    Yoga gonna be soothing I bet. LOL

    I’ve never heard of either of them. Should be an interesting review. What made you think of doing a video review?
