@FranC I setup a couple SFT's one for SSA Raspberry Syrup and the other is SSA Pear (I love pears!).

Did the RB at 3 drops/10ml base. And the Pear 4 drops/10ml.

Will test and post my thoughts a couple/few days. ;)
I noticed that SSA has a guava flavor that I might have to get too. Sessiondrummer gave it a really good review. And I love guava.

    I love to eat pears but not vape them, I would guess something called Raspberry Syrup would be sweet.

    Yeah, it probably would not be a good look if Skeebo picked up his 68 year old MIL and threw her out the front door. Being physical with the opposite sex is never a viable solution in my book. Now if she wants to sit in her room till the end of December it's totally cool with me. Once Buster gets big she more than likely won't come over any more.... plus we plan on getting a female GSD in March.

    Problem solved without looking like the bad guy.
    Totally agree with you. There are very rough, but perhaps justifiable, things that ought to be done to guys who get nasty, or abuse, the opposite sex in any way shape or form.

    I figured Buster would be the ticket to "no more visits" (success) with the MIL. Many folks are scared of GSD's. :D A female GSD in March? Cool. Are you guys planning on breeding them? Female GSD's can be significantly more headstrong versus the males. Males learn very quickly that you are Pack Leader. My Carli is 8 and she still likes to test me for pack dominance. None of the males we had tested us much after reaching some maturity 2-3 years.

    I love guava too and do have SSA's guava. Got it in my most recent order. Haven't done anything with it yet. Also have MF Guava that I will SFT as it smells super strong compared to any of the other MF's I have. Likely will do 1 drop/10ml base.

    Raspberry Syrup had me nervous about buying it as my first thought was "sweet". SessionDrummer says it's low sweet.

    It smells really good and I can't wait to try it.

    Excerpts from SD's notes...
    "It centered around a mid and somewhat dark raspberry, with surprisingly low sweetness (hence the "where's the syrup"). It had a really nice tart-ish finish that really drove an already GREAT raspberry flavor, all the way home. Tasted very natural with zero off-putting notes or characteristics, and almost seemed to have a smidge of seeds in there."

    "Currently (but not with MF's Wild Rasp) I have to combine multiple players to get a great RB, but this one, can really hold it's own, and leave you wanting more."

    **Raspberry Syrup (SSA) 1.0% (9-17-20)** -- As sometimes happens, the moment you start a new flavor, you get an impression, that you can't shake throughout the entire test, and it happened again. First thoughts were INW Raspberry Malina meets MF Wild Raspberry. Let's start out with what this one wasn't. I didn't get a huge "syrup"-ness from this one, BUT, that's about the ONLY bad thing I COULD find with it. At 1% it was nice and full, and probably COULD be run lower, but in no way was it hitting the ceiling @ 1%. Super damned delicious, with about ZERO of the issues that I've had with most other RB's. It centered around a mid and somewhat dark raspberry, with surprisingly low sweetness (hence the "where's the syrup"). It had a really nice tart-ish finish that really drove an already GREAT raspberry flavor, all the way home. Tasted very natural with zero off-putting notes or characteristics, and almost seemed to have a smidge of seeds in there. Currently (but not with MF's Wild Rasp) I have to combine multiple players to get a great RB, but this one, can really hold it's own, and leave you wanting more. Second one from SSA that I've tested, and thus far, VERY impressive. If you have tried MF Wild Rasp, and INW Malina, then invision the two of them combined, and that will get you very in the ballpark of this one. Despite being named a "syrup", the lower than expected sweetness would allow far greater uses of this one, and you could spike the sweet up if needed. I hate to say it so early in the testing here, but this one also, could/should be on your must try list from SSA. Very clean, accurate, and natural tasting Raspberry, that encompassed almost everything you'd want FROM a Raspberry. **10/10**.

    The butcher block desktop I'll be using, looks pretty plain Jane (but very nice) right now but when finished with walrus oil and walrus polish, it should look fantastic. The best variations in the wood are off to the side, where they will be unobstructed by keyboard/mouse etc.

    I can't believe that you are using oil from a poor, defenseless walrus. I gotta say, I am a bit disappointed in you.

    I love GSD's. One of my Gd's has a young but grown male named Goose. Goose is doing bite training and get his commands in German.

    I noticed that SSA has a guava flavor that I might have to get too. Sessiondrummer gave it a really good review. And I love guava.

    I have it but haven’t mixed it yet. The whole pouch from my order smelled strongly of it when I opened it and none leaked.

    I don't really like it myself (JF is supposed to be better) but the one I would love to try is Holy Holy Grail (original) but then I heard the new version isn't as good. For now, I just mix caramel and vanilla in my tobacco mix (which is kinda nutty) It's really a "desert" tobacco mix but I love it.
