Just to sort of explain. I (and others) premix nic base. This is just nic/pg and vg. The purpose of premixing is convenience.
I premix nic base as well. I convert the 100mg into a working bottle of 24mg at 30vg/70pg.

On the single mix you can add the fruit or wait a bit. My complete mixes sit quite awhile sometimes.
Oh yeah, even the complete recipe I make tomorrow will sit a bit before I try it out. I'll probably wait on it for a week or so before vaping. The larger cheesecake base is going to sit for about a month before I do anything to it.

    Good idea.

    What is the highest flavoring % you add to your cheesecake base? Or do you tend to keep it generally around 3 percent?
    It depends on the flavor. A strong flavor would use way less % than a weak one.

    I'm lucky, mix things at 8 or 16 oz a batch, and target 2mg.

    Since I fill to the neck it's at least 240 or 480ml.

    I use a graduated beaker, 5ml or 10 ml of nic, "plenty close enough" [emoji3]

    I just mixed another 8oz of vc2 tonight. Everything except the filler is right about 10ml, 5ml, or 4ml, so the whole mix is done with a single beaker, then eyeball pg to half fill, vg to the top.

    Ice cream drowned is a different beast, some small % flavorings, so that gets done with a beaker and a single 5ml syringe.

    You are talking about a premixed... uh stone? of something? IDK why it's called that but you can add other stuff and only like, steep a few days. You can't be too .... about your nic if you do it this way.

    And not the kind of stone I currently wish to pelt my husband with either. Oh what an annoying afternoon. I am shooting for bed in 40 minutes or so. I bet I make it.

    First, I redid my whole dumb video. I thought there were no female uh, reviewers because they were shy or whatever, it's actually because video reviews suck up your LIFE. OMG. It's all uploaded by a hosting site but I am not doing that now, because I feel cursed and don't want to curse you by association.

    This is mainly because my HAPPY yoga was like, interrupted by a VERY unhappy moment where I looked at our old fridge and like.... innocently said to the husband "When is the new freezer you said you got arriving? It seems like this is a long time." He said he had not ordered it, followed by a LITANY of excuses about why he did not only the ALL came AFTER he said he ordered it which I pointed out, I was like, "You SAID you got one you even quoted me a price."

    Then he said it was not "his problem" that "I had problem," I said, "I TOTALLY agree with you KEPT husband as I LABOR at work and you stay home and smoke marijuana for your neck pain, but let me ASK you how you would FEEL if I took ALL your precious seeds you have collected and set them on fire, any you were like, "BUT BUT BUT." He said I was being mean and I agreed that I was not being pleasant but ALSO it was hard to "take care of my needs when I did not know I still had them."

    I told him I would buy one and have it delivered. He was all snotty like, "Well it would be nice if they took away the OLD one." If anything I am going to have them wedge some old broken ones wherever I can....

    So yeah, it's been ah, tense, I mean holy bejesus just GIVE me the information!!!!! So then I took all my nic out and put it in the fridge I mean HOLY GHOST. I really just.... I was like "Dood, that is worth more than my car ITSELF potentially."

    I think my angriest moment was when he said it was not "his responsibility to look around the apartment and figure things out." I was like "I HAVE been looking! I haven't even asked for a week because I KNOW you have been stressed and guess what, so have *I*. Now I am looking and ASKING AND I HATE YOU."

    It's tense. He is probably passive aggressively falling asleep in the bedroom but that's fine. I find the couch fairly comfortable (He grinds his teeth like a GIANT donkey when he sleeps.... it's maddening.

    Well no one died, right?

    Somewhere between here and there
    Good evening. I did end up going over and installed the dishwasher. However, my father in law was there when he wasn’t supposed to be. It was the total nightmare that I expected. When he installed the fake wood floor in his kitchen, he didn’t pull up the linoleum so his floor is too high. We had to pry up the kitchen counter in order to get the dishwasher in but he gave me the wrong insulation that wraps around it. It was from the old dishwasher and was too thick so I had to pull the dishwasher back out again and put the right insulation on. The feet on the dishwasher kept getting stuck on the old linoleum and it was a real pain to get in and out.

    Glad it’s over and done.

    I get that, depending on the flavorings used. I just seem to see a lot of cheesecake recipes that have the fruit % right around 3 or so.
    I can see where some would fall around 3. I’ve never made an effort at any specific %. Mine are whatever they add up to.
