Random DIY mixing and More

I mixed up another bottle of that too but I'm going to let it steep longer this time. Not that it wasn't good after a week, I just think it might be better after 2 or 3 weeks.

I'm still waiting for the other Stixx Mixx flavors I ordered - they should be here Monday or Tuesday. Also, I was reading somewhere that all Stixx Mixx are not N.E.T.'s. Some are extracts.

 

I've got the A+ and I have the Whisky Cavendish, Butter Rum Cavendish and Canadian Virginian on the way. I'm really hoping the Canadian Virginian actually has that Canadian cigarette taste.

After that last mix I did with the A+ and butterscotch I'm starting to think the Stixx Mixx N.E.T.'s are better as a one-shot type flavor. Complex enough to be used alone.

 

The apple honey is a bit muddy in a tank so going to take out the marzipan and bump both apples to 2%. Thinking I may sub the de leche as well.

 

Ah yes good old bottle wash day. I really try to stay on top of mine before the thin layer of baked on crud of the last film of eliquid emerges.... I am not always successful. LOL.

Fortunately, I seem to have no problems getting labels off, it's more like keeping labels ON. Masking tape and a really new black sharpie seems to be doing the trick the MOST so far....

Mixed up 30ml of this today...

Cheesecake Wheel Slice 1 - Caramel Toffee Swirl (WIP)
New York Cheesecake (PUR) 4%
Cheesecake Graham (PUR) 2%
Toffee Ice Cream (VTA) 1.75%
Italian Cream (Hangsen) 1.5%
Caramel Toffee (Hangsen) 1.25%
Vanilla Ice Cream (LB) .5%
Biscuit (INW) 0.5%

It will likely need some tweaks, but it's a start...

 

What percentage did you mix it at and how long did you give it to steep?

 

I use white office labels, sharpie, then wrap with clear/scotch tape. I had success with that in the lab on chemical solutions in droppers, and it seems durable for juices. Labels have to be soaked off though. If I’m in a hurry, I’ll label over the first one.

 

this stuff sounds complicated.... all I do is soak some tobacco in Everclear and add nic and VG and evaporate the Everclear off...

 

kewl... another NOLA person...

and we joined on the same day ( different year tho)

 

That sounds like too much work

Besides, I can't get Everclear here in Canada.

 

The difference is, you’re organized and I’m lazy . I write the recipe on the bottle and make adjustment notes on the label. If I’m happy with it at the end, I transfer the final recipe to the notebook. I’m still in the early mixing stages of moving from good recipes to “wow, I want to make a litre of this”. So, the recipe is their only name so far.

 

It’s not complicated really. I usually use and adjust recipes someone else created. Mixing is a pretty quick process
