Random DIY mixing and More

[hittman]

I'm confused by the above. 1) If he's planning to order FA Cantaloupe... why suggest that he order CAP Honeydew instead? He's likely buying the Cantaloupe because it's the specific fruit flavoring HE wants...or maybe needs for a recipe. 2) Also - The pre-made honeydew you vaped and loved...may not be made with CAP Honeydew at all. There's no way to know if it's CAP, FA, TFA, or some other brand. Your suggestion just seemed "odd", to me.

ETA: Oops! Just looked at new posts made while I was typing the above, and I see others thought it was odd, too, and already mentioned it.

I had a hard time understanding that myself. They are two different flavors. I could understand if it was just another brand.

I understand (many people have mentioned this) Please understand I have done many hour and hours researching flavors (from multiple sources) Suppose you are looking to buy a car and I mention multiple great ratings and have read over 100 reviews. Is there any harm in mentioning this even though I don't personally own that car?

You are recommending one flavor over another even though you've never tried said flavor. You can do all the research in the world but can't give your opinion on a flavor you haven't tried.

Looks like I have the day off. Replacing two drop-in coils and then trying my new toy (Kroma-Z) If I have time, might rebuild my RTA.
P.S. What I am NOT doing is suggesting any flavors to anyone (no, I'm not upset... I get it OK)

In my laziness, I dripped some ssa grapefruit on top of the milky strawberry. Very good. 2% was plenty on the grapefruit sft.

I think those 2 would go together well.

Glad you like it. I've been vaping a long time. What comes across as light flavor to you is more full flavor for me.

I figured we had different levels of flavor tolerances. Your recipe is really good as is, I might just punch it up a bit. I am a bit hesitant to increase the biscuit flavoring because it is generally pretty low in most recipes I see. Do you think bumping it up to 1.5% would be too strong?

That is a combo of flavors I would not have considered matching up. I'm glad it mixes up well for you.

It shouldn't be. I have used 1.5 before but not often.

I know we all have our quirks but I can see grapefruit going with almost any other fruit but not a strong grapefruit.

You haven't tried the Z yet?

Grapefruit is funny to me because it is one of those flavors I can't stand eating or drinking. But if you put a little grapefruit flavoring in a eliquid mix, I generally enjoy it.

That happens alot.

Redbird11 I use an RDA that matches the type of airflow I'll end up using it in mainly. So for me, that's a single coil RDA that's restricted DL. My SFT working flavor range matches up with testing full mixes.Because I forget movies really quickly, I can watch the same movie many times and not be bored. The odd few for no reason put me to sleep. Like Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs or Ghostbusters.

Just cause I saw u are Canadian

I agreed with your post above, for the most part. But in my mind, to even suggest a different brand ...someone should've used both (the original brand and the suggested one). Otherwise, the person can't know, and pass along to others...info on how they differ from each other.

Flavors and cars are not =/=.

I don't give a crap how many reviews you read. They mean NOTHING. A big fat ZERO.

Most "actual" research anywhere involves "hands on" OR in this case "tastes on". Your research is totally incomplete AND thus invalid.

Anyone can "compile" lists of ABC and call it research. It is NOT.

One should not recommend flavors one has never themselves EVER tried. Nor offer opinion. It is completely meaningless as in zip, zero, nadda. Not valid. Period. The end.

I did not care for what you recently did in the thread where someone brand new to DIY was asking for help with custard vapes. All you did there was demonstrate to any who know and do DIY that you really have no clue. I should have said this there and then, but I bit my tongue. But you repeat doing this over and over.

Just stop doing it. Very simple solution. Or run the risk of folks calling you out every single time and in every thread. Simple.

I just wanted to get some sft done and was too lazy to change the wick. I might try a two flavor mix with them though. I’ll probably go 1% or less on the grapefruit.

Is the figment like uh, suggesting things to people randomly again AFTER being called on it?

I heard he was like never gonna mention "Anna" again and then has repeatedly ADDRESSED me directly as if I CARED what he thought.

He doesn't even know he is lying.

I ran into his wife the other day.... She said the '"long separations" were because she had joined the Federal witness protection program but like, she was considering swimming to Cuba because he keeps finding her.

So, I gave her some unsolicited recommendations on the best brands of boats to get and how to find a body double.

I don't boat or swim, but I have READ a lot about boats and swimming. So, I felt justified,

Thank God the man I trust and love was just WAITING for me to fail as he knew otherwise I would NEVER allow the snow tires and they were on there in like 2 days. I totally cleaned the WHOLE apartment for him because like, I love him. LOL.

Personally, I have a very hard time with people who NEED to be loved and respected but don't actually do the work involved. If you want to be an expert, or a spouse, or a son, DO THE WORK.

Just my opinion but I HAVE done a lot of reading posts on the subject without comment. Per the figment's own criteria for expertise I know A LOT about him.

He will recommend unsolicited flavors again.... I am taking bets..

Yes, I think a light grapefruit goes well with lots. IMO

I'm not taking that bet. Matter of time.

Bingo.

Hmmm, just thinking out loud here...

Life requires some assembly...

...and I know firsthand that means work.

Lot's of work. Never ending work.

But that kind of work is what makes great relationships everywhere awesome. Be they an actual marriage, friendships or the like. We love the work!

Here, here... never fear the work!!!

My wife’s friend rented a movie theater at AMC and asked if we wanted to go. There’s going to be ten other people there. Neither one of us feels comfortable with that even though we would be spaced since none of these people have been in our normal group so we are not going to go. Besides that they are going to be showing Elf and I’ve seen that too many times.
