Random DIY mixing and More

[DLKnives]

Good morning all,

May have to take the wife cross-town to get her new glasses fit again, or re-fitted or something. Ugh. That takes away from me time with my Xbox!

I am getting all the stuff I need to make beef stew - love some homemade stew.

All these years I really haven’t been able to taste blueberry and I finally figure out I’m blueberry blind. Bilberry will be my fill in.

I think many people are. Since I have been on the forum, it seems there is always someone on the hunt for a good blueberry vape that never materializes

Yeah, exactly. I’m not going with that again. I did it with apple years ago. There are lots of other good fruit flavors.

Well I didn’t care much for the solo mango with yogurt. Now I have my Granola Crunch, much better. By the time I vape down my older stuff the newer will be steeped. When I get into the newer stuff it will be time to mix more. No recipe ideas yet but I have time.

Ok, I want to mix the FA Espresso Nutzilla. Thinking maybe 3% solo. Thoughts?

 

[DavidOck]

Never used it, but I rather arbitrarily go 5% for SFTs... and, well, coffee (espresso) really does need to be strong

I know from my past love of coffee vapes that FA espresso is a strong flavor. Of course I’ve never vaped the FA coffees as a solo vape before. Figuring I can add if I have to.

You could try mixing both of those (tiny bit to test)

No no. Would not mix at all.

I mentioned a while back about FA Pomegranate. I seem to have got a bogus bottle... no fruit flavor, no sweetness, just floral. I have FA Kiwi bought at the same time from the same vendor and it's fine (fruity, sweet) I would really like if someone is willing to try it for me (to know if it's just me or is actually a bad batch) I will be willing to send you some... any takers?
P.S. I have not touched the bottle for months and will wear gloves when packing it. PM me if interested.

I didn't know what else is in the granola... other fruits?

 

[vaper1960]

I mixed some cheesecake and now waiting for it to steep. I was wondering if I keep it in my pocket (warmer) would it help it steep sooner? I know... be patient but I would like to try a quick test to see if I need to adjust the %. Then I will give it a long steep.

You can do what you wish but any cheesecake base needs a month.

I hope this quote from a lab will help with the answer.Yes it will but a test can figure out if it is a NRT or real vaping/tobacco usage.

The main metabolites of nicotine are cotinine, trans-3'-hydroxycotinine, and nornicotine; of these, cotinine is the most widely used marker for detecting nicotine exposure. Laboratory testing of urine for nicotine and its metabolites can help differentiate between active and passive nicotine exposure based on the concentrations detected; however, these results are not definitive. Nicotine replacement therapy and tobacco use can be distinguished by the detection of a tobacco-specific alkaloid, such as anabasine. Testing of plasma or serum, when necessary, is useful for identifying recent exposure.

I wonder if the new artificial nicotine would allow you to trick the test. If it's not made with tobacco, presumably it wouldn't contain any tobacco-specific alkaloids.

I haven't tried the FA pomegranate but have used the TFA and like it quite well. Did anyone else on this thread comment on the FA pom as to what it's like?

We draw our share here but most are by the ocean, lakes region and White Mountains. We don’t get much of those in our southwest corner.

It's my own damn fault for living by the ocean.

I have heard of people speed steeping with a warm water bath. I haven't tried it myself so can't say if it works or not.

I'm sure you weren't planning it.

I don't use that. I go the old fashioned way. Never was sure how the heat would affect my juice.
