Random DIY mixing and More

[Redbird11]

My partner gave me a big plastic tool box. I use to use it for flavorings-now I use a file cabinet. Great idea on the rba supplies. I might reorganize the rebuildables into the tool box. It might have to wait awhile until I feel like doing so.

Another day of being sick. Today, the headaches was intense. I tracked my exposure to Nov 20th. That was the first day of sore throat/burning throat. I'm still angry at ex employer for making me work while sick. I'm going to expose them after I get over this.

Hang in there @Koolkiz. Get to feeling better.

At work we have random names drawn for Covid testing. I got called today so I’ll have to get tested this week. It’s free and I don’t have to take time off so that’s good.

A few days back I had mentioned that something in my last BCF flavor order was really strong smelling, like tropical fruit. But I couldn't find any leaky bottles and couldn't figure out where it was coming from. I think I found the culprit. I believe it is the bottle of INW Cherimoya
Cherimoya YC-INW

I went through the flavors again today and still was noticing the strong fruit smell, so I sniffed every damn bottle. The Cherimoya must be some potent stuff. I believe some must have spilled when BCF was filling up the 10ml, because the label was kind of blurry, like it had gotten wet.

I hope you like it. I’ve been vaping it all day.

I don’t have the candy cane flavor but think I’ll get it so I can try that recipe.

I love it. It’s different and the vanillas and cheesecake just make it so creamy and tone down the candy cane. Very good. I have a feeling I’ll have to make more soon.

It’s said to taste of banana partly so It’s out for me.

@hittman, is it possible to substitute the Candy Cane with Peppermint & Marshmallow?

Just I have noticed some folks use that combination in recipes, but never tried it myself yet.

Not hittman but that should come close.

Well, the dog is home. He looks like pretty much any being does after some heavy duty surgery... miserable. He's like, I mean he actually LOOKS better, but he also looks pathetic.

I did yoga, and I did not die, but I bet tomorrow I am going to be wanting to die because I did not do my hair, I did not do my med box until now and I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and just like ARGH. Nor did I go to Walmart. Those things are going to have to try and happen in an orderly fashion throughout the week. Hah.

I don't know how I am gonna get through the next couple of weeks. I am covered in eczema from masks, I need to do my stupid hair, and I need better drano to unclog my bathtub which is one of those annoying "bladder" rubber tub stoppers and I can't like leave henna sit in it and it is very slow draining currently. Why I did not do my hair. I got dollar general drano but that is not good drano to get. I am starting to think dollar stores may actually be HAZARDOUS. Old people shop there, but perhaps that is a "lure you in thing." I mean, IDK. I had never shopped at a dollar store until Douglas but a certain times you HAD to. Pretty much half what I get there is useless, or actively hazardous. Maybe I need to shadow an elderly person and watch what they do, because they have figured out HOW to do it, etc.

Oh boy 4:18 AM just cannot get here SOON enough. LOL.

I've read that it's got some coconut and pineapple type tastes in there too.

Could be much worse.

Not a flavor for me. Both coconut and banana is out for me. It otherwise sounds like a good flavor.

I bought it for a particular recipe. But now I might pitch it. I'm not sure the strong smell will mess up the rest of the flavors it is stored with.

That’s a good idea. Maybe I’ll try it that way first. Any suggestions on percentages?

 

[hittman]

I wonder if marshmallow vanilla would be good to use with the peppermint?

 

[newyork13]

I just pull the wick, dry burn briefly, blow on the coil, and then rewick. Seems to do the trick.

That makes sense. Certainly better than filling a tank and tossing the coil or having to clean out the tank and rewick if it's an RTA.
I've wasted a bunch of coils and washed more than I wanted to test juices I ended up tossing.

 

[newyork13]

When I test new flavors or mixes I do a dry burn on the coil and put a fresh wick in each RDA. If I have 2 to test that's 2 RDA's.

Sometimes I will use just one RDA and then in-between flavors I'll remove the wick, dry burn the coil to get rid of any of the last juice (especially needed for claptons, aliens or other exotic coils IMO) and clean the inside of the RDA out with a moist paper towel, kleenex or toilet paper. A fresh wick. Then I'm good to go with the next mix or SFT. It's pretty quick for me.

IMO as long as you dry burn your coil in-between flavors, or mixes, and as long as there isn't a pool of the last juice in the bottom of your RDA you may not taste any of the last juice. A fresh wick and you're good to go.

Alternatively you could leave the wick in the RDA, and depending on how high the % of flavoring was of the last juice tested, vape some flavorless juice until you no longer taste any remnants of the previous juice and then switch to your next juice to test.

That is easy with mixes that are not heavy %'s with flavors for example. IMO with vastly different flavors it may take too long to get rid of the last flavor and it would be quicker to just go with a fresh wick.

Hope that helps.

yup thanks

I rebuilt my RTA (was so worried cause the last time it leaked so just used unflavored this time) It works great (now I want to get the unflavored juice out and re-fill with flavored... very easy with a blunt needle syringe)
Tried my Kroma-Z... love it. I am so going to get some more Z coils for it (just not sure which ones to get)

Maybe you could store it by itself.

From a long time peppermint user I wouldn’t go over 1%
