Random DIY mixing and More

[Fidola13]

From Chef's:

Chef's One Shot: Ginger Rogers Concentrate (a coconut cookie)
Chef's One Shot: Lemon Coconut Cream Cake (not new to me, a re-stock)
Chef's One Shot: Tarte Au Citron (a lemon tart)
FA Condensed Milk
FA Premium Custard
FA Oakwood
DIYFS Holy Grail RY4
FLV Bourbon
FLV Rum & Raisin
LB Vanilla Ice Cream
Wreka Sexy Mango


The FA flavors I bought are branded "Flavor Creative" at Chef's and way cheaper than I could buy them in Canada, if I could buy them in Canada Oh wait, I can buy Oakwood but yeah, way cheaper at Chef's.

Thanks for posting this list!! Do you know if these flavors not available in the US as well due to certain ingredients?

Making my own today. The dripper is coiled. Maybe will manage wick tomorrow. Wouldn't want to rush things

I ordered some coilology braided 316 3mm coils from FT after seeing someone brag on them in another thread. I put one in the tank I’ve been running my lemonade in and really like it. They heat up nicely without a preheat or primer puff. Great flavor too.

I’m almost half way into the month and figure I may as well wait for the Labor Day sale at bcf. If they do 20 off again it could save me over $10.

That’s interesting. I bought some vertabraid from AVS. I wonder if it’s the same thing or similar. I haven’t used it yet but seeing your post I may have to build a few coils tomorrow with it.

What’s the ramp up time like?

Fa Custard Prem and Condensed Milk are definitely not available here in North America due to containing diketones.

Almost none from what I can tell.

FA butter isn't either.

AVS vertibraid have decent ramp but can be a pita if used for a dual build. Space the coils.

Mine are 3mm. I checked it with my coil rod before installing it. It says 3mm on the case too. One thing that was neat was when installed on the Zeus, the coil naturally pointed at the wicking wells.

OK. Dripper in use on the tea I found a little sweet earlier. In the RDA the mix is stronger and twice as sweet........... Settles the thought that mixes are less sweet in drippers.

Thanks after getting frustrated at the ramp up time with Clapton’s I’ve decided that I’ll only use “exotic” builds for the single coil attys. Good idea about spacing them. That’s pretty much my go to build with simple round ss316 builds. It’s easy. Doesn’t have much spitback. And the DNA mods have an “easier” time reading them. In my experience anyways.

So you rushed into the wicking anyway, huh?

I was bored I guess.

 

[FranC]

Since I have no desire to drip this tea I pulled the wick and put the RDA away for the next time I may want to try it.

If you used rayon, you could just rinse under running water and set on a paper towel (wick onto the towel) to dry. Once dry, fluff with a toothpick.

No reason to de-wick unless you need to dry burn the coil

Good point. Next time I'll use rayon.................

It appears I am mistaken once again. I thought I had a bunch of mixes coming up to try and I only have 4-5.

Well my sb tang cheesecake is too sb forward for my taste. I'm going to split the mix and let one meld longer and add an add more orange notes to the other. I have an orange base already steeping so will use some of that. I dislike tweaking juices, prefer to just tweak the recipe and mix again.
