Random DIY mixing and More

They’re still in the shipping box, stuffed in the closet
I’m waiting for a coil to be ready to get changed. If nothing else, PACT is making me very stingy about swapping coils.

I know. I'm snowed under here--work, taxes, family, but all I can think about is what to order next. If anything. This is so stooopid. I'm so mad I could scream.

I'm sorry. Do you want to talk about it?

Guess that puts that bit of history to rest

I was just hoping you weren't going to tell me he was your cousin.

I don't think we are related. I'm sure it would of come up during the family reunion.

Here's tracking for my Thelema--

On Its Way to USPS
March 4, 2021 at 12:24 am

Arrived Shipping Partner Facility, USPS Awaiting Item

MEMPHIS, TN 38116

I just received a package today that took 23 days to get here from California. Tracking went blank for more than a week at a time. It arrived in Memphis twice in a five-day period. Then, someone apparently walked it to my town over the next several days. USPS is a mess right now in some parts of the country.

I find the Jamaican Rum too sweet. I like the VT Light Rum.

That's what I thought. I get the idea that TFA kentucky bourbon is also too sweet. I'll keep that in mind. I didn't mean to spin off on booze flavors, but no reason you can't do a "butter rum" from scratch and also use those in a bakery/desert recipe.

I agree Mike, the Memphis hub is probably one of the worst.. Even when I ship reptiles to the Northeast, going through Memphis is a real nail biter for FedEx as well.

I've been thinking about taking all of the lemon flavorings out of Nevan's LMP recipe and adding pina colada instead...

I always say "there are no rules with DIY". E-juices don't have to match what real foods are (we can get ideas from real world recipes but you can do things with DIY that can't be done in real life) That sounds great (why didn't I think of that?) I just discovered a pina colada flavor (today) that is good (INW) pina colada but the only issue was it also tastes like vanilla (that would fit right into a pie recipe) That's it... I need a notepad and to add more flavors to my wishlist ... and a new ink pen.

 

[vaper1960]

OK folks... forgive me for this but my imagination is soaring. The pina colada "LMP" version in one tank and pina colada (with or without rum) in another tank (you can guess what I'll be washing it down with )
I'm just kidding...

I have pina colada INW. It's the only one I have actually. I think it's a balanced flavor. Perhaps a bit more rum, and a touch of pineapple and coconut would make it even better as a pina colada flavor. I think for the Pie I'll just use the PC inw flavor alone though.

 

[vaper1960]

Out of nowhere, I flashed on a simple recipe... graham cracker, chocolate and butter mint (I also have white chocolate peppermint... sounds even better)

 

[Zazie]

I could but my working list is in alphabetical order. Might not be a bad idea to sort it by case and bin location and print a second list in case it happens again.

Or you could just sort it by location and print the relevant page(s) if it happens again.

 

[Zazie]

Exactly! They are creamy and delicious.

I'm definitely going to make them sometime.

Something that caught my attention (turkish tobaccos) I have this pre-made (Vape Wild Constantinople) and I've been trying to figure out the spices (my best guess was allspice) Anyway, FLV turkish tobacco was being discussed and they mentioned (just like me... guessing) and it sounds about right... cardamom and anise.
Just out of curiosity, I have to try it.
On a side note (why do I say that?) If I get the stimulus, big order from BCF including several from FLV. That's why it's called a wishlist (you never know... times are crazy right now... I should qualify, have done my homework) Going nite nite now... it's past midnight. Peace out, vape on!

@Zazie , have a recipe for the blog (too tired tonight but basically have it ready to post)
OK, tired or not, I wanted to post this... yes, please add to the vlog:
Peanut butter banana pudding with nilla wafers:
TFA DX peanut butter 3 %
WF banana puree 2 %
VT pudding base 3 %
PUR cookie 2.5 %
VT vanilla cream 3 %
Needs a steep (that's up to you)

Hey all,

DHL express refused to take my order for flavour concentrates today. DHL and FedEx aren’t taking orders for vape gear as they fall in their list of prohibited items now. I declared my items as ‘synthetic flavor concentrates’.

Is USPS still shipping vape devices and e-juice internationally? It might be my last option with my Planet Express order.
