I going to try to mix my Peanut Butter Cookie tomorrow. I thought I already had but I was mistaken.
Some trials have steeped for a week or two. The one I’m using now is about a week old. I’m going to try to let the current four bottles steep for a week or two. I have a couple 10ml testers that are useable to last me until the new ones steep.
It’s patience learned by ordering more flavors than I can try in a reasonable amount of time. My NR order is supposed to hit tomorrow and I’ve still got over 20 on my wishlist.
That is one of my considerations. Did I mix too much? I am familiar with over-flavoring to the point of flavor loss; but I have not experienced it with tobacco flavors. Maybe, I will draw a bit off and dilute it down, and see if that offers any help.
At least I shouldn't have to wait for any additional aging.
I'll be giving my testers a good 3 week age before I try them but I will get back to you.
I mixed my 3 Stixx 17 days ago. I'll give them another 4 days to reach 3 weeks and try them again.
Patience, what is this thing? I'm amazed at how long some steep a recipe before tasting it. Some I give 2-3 days, others may get a week depending on how many are in my stash and if I have a hankering for a new flavor (I'm looking at you PomPudding). If I think I'll like the flavor profile, I make a 30ml tester and then keep going back to it over time to see how it ages and figure out the point in time I like it best. I tend to like most mixes at 2-4 weeks more than 6-8wks.
Also sad to report - no G&T in my mailbox today..

I've just about quit saying I have enough, which I do. Hoping I at least don't replace the meh ones just because of a great sale. Sales and threads like this one are my undoing.I need to mix up more of my older flavors before I buy anything that's not just a replacement for an empty. Now that I've said that some gotta have flavors will come along and I'll buy more.
Well I at least don't replace the meh ones....LOL
There is actually little I need or want so far. Still 5-6 flavors on my wishlist.
So what's in your medley of melons? I've got at least 10 melon flavors here and I'm feeling melon-y today
The Watermelon Medley is
VG 80%
Watermelon INW 1%
Watermelon Candy TFA 3%
Pineapple TFA 2%
Blueberry SC RF 1%
Bahraini Apple Gold INW 1%
Wintergreen TFA 1%
Lemon TFA .5%
Sour TFA .5%

Next time I'll drop watermelon candy 1%. Maybe increase blueberry. I'm amazed nothing else is coming through.
Watermelon Salad
VG 80%
Watermelon INW 2%
Honeydew TFA 3%
Pomegranate FA 2%
Jalapeno TFA 2%
Lemon JF 1%

Tried my FA Grapefruit. No change from last time.More sweetness than I like and a tad of tartness.
A quick follow-up...That is one of my considerations. Did I mix too much? I am familiar with over-flavoring to the point of flavor loss; but I have not experienced it with tobacco flavors. Maybe, I will draw a bit off and dilute it down, and see if that offers any help.

I did just that; 1mL of the original (SM American Virginian mixed at 10%), and diluted it with 1mL of of my unflavored ADV blend, leaving me with a diluted 5% mix. The mfg. recommended range, for that particular flavor, is 4-10%.
Sadly, there is no significant difference. If anything, what little flavor there was, is slightly more diminished. It is beginning to look like Stixx, and I, may just not be destined to be friends.
I will keep the original samples, and let them continue to age, as there was a little improvement over the last two weeks. However, I am not very optimistic.
