    I would like to have a perfect milk to add to my tea and coffee vapes. Ice cream would be nice to. So I could easily make a black pepper ice cream with just two ingredients. It's a thing, really.
    This is HIC's recipe, but too many ingredients for me. I only do two. :vapor:

    2% FA Vienna Cream
    1% FA Black Pepper (can go as low as 0.5%)
    1% FA Custard
    1% FA Vanilla Bourbon (or your favorite FA vanilla)
    1% Fresh Cream

    Hmm... This is a nice ice cream base.
    I tried that once. That Black Pepper is terrible (IMO)

    I like that vt pudding base a lot too and it works fine for me as a pudding. I don’t see the need to come up with a base when one exists.
    Forgot that for a minute. I like the VT Pudding base also.

    It's been so long for me that I couldn't remember how many were in a carton. I use to buy cartons at the Coast Guard PX in Miami for $18.50 a carton.

    When I was in the army they were around $9 a carton at the PX.

    I remember smoking in high school. Always carried my pack with a lighter. I got busted smoking in the girls gym locker. They tried to suspend me..I said "Great! I need a vacation!" then they decided to give me detention instead. LOL

    We actually had a smoking area in high school. It was outside across from where the buses pulled up.

    I took a quick look at my list of creams. It wound be possible to make many different good cream bases but I have no desire to get into that. I don’t like most vanillas as well as creams but the same would be possible with vanillas. Think I’ll tackle an ice cream base though.

    Good morning :)
    I'm 4,500+ messages behind. Lol!
    Speed reading course? ;)

    The thread is moving quickly for sure. I have a feeling it will grow even more when we can no longer buy gear...DIY will be our main outlet.

    My cat does not understand the significance of sleeping late on weekends. :yawn:

    This has been hell month at work, and it ain’t over. My boss sent me a nice email and copied our bigger boss about my attention to detail with all the many projects on my plate. He knows it has been rough on me. I thought that was nice.

    Today we take all the bags of yard debris to the dump. And then I cut grass. My work never ends!

    Still waiting on my ecigmafia order but it is in the big town. Maybe I’ll get it today or Monday.

    AND - As for purchasing cartons of cigarettes, go to Reservation get 6 at a time, approximately every 4 to 4 1/2 weeks . . . :facepalm:


    .
    I got cigarettes from a reservation, for a year, by mail. Supposed to be tax-free. At the end of the year, I got a tax bill :eek:

    Oh, I did get Lemonade LA. New to me. First lemonade flavor. No idea what to expect. Well, I expect lemonade, actually.

    That’s another rabbit hole if you like lemonade. I think I have most of the ones available. The LA is a good one.

    Grew up around those. Had one in the family business. Dad used to by all his cigs from it and I would pull the lever. Well, my dad had to help lol. They were definitely hard to pull.

    Used to watch the vendor fill it.

    I remember going to the corner convenience store to buy pipe tobacco for my dad. The first time my mom called ahead and let them know I was coming, but after awhile they got used to me buying it.

    I used an old Augvape Merlin for my strawberry and milk the other day since I always liked the flavor from them but every one I bough seeped liquid. After about a week of intermittent use there is no leaking and no condensation buildup. I may dig out a couple more for testing samples.

    I did that, too. $11 a carton, and I'd buy ten at a time. Shippng was free.

    I eventually got a tax bill for some of them, but not all. Came to about $240. Prorated over all the cigarettes I bought, I still came out way ahead.

    My brand was Natives.

    Don't. I remember paying a buck or so in Manhattan. I also remember "your captain" asking us politely and apologetically to please extinguish our cigarettes and refrain from smoking during takeoff and landing. ;)
    I remember in 1965/66 paying $3.00 a carton.
