My Mom used to make fried Spam slices, fried taters, and baked beans. I haven’t had Spam since I left home.
I've gotten bored with my lunches, so I bought a can of (lower salt) Spam. I've always liked the taste (and accept that it's probably not the best health food.)
But, wowie, was it salty!

This is a CloudyMutherChucker recipe, little high on the %'s and I would leave out the sweetener but try as is. There are a lot of versions on ELR. @Skeebo do you have your own?

Banana Moon Pie -
6% Banana Cream TPA
1% Graham Cracker CAP (I would sub)
3% Marshmallow FA
3% Sugar Cookie V1 CAP
1% Super Sweet CAP (I would omit)

The banana cream pie I have used a couple time was very high % flavoring, 18.5, and was great when I started DIY a few years ago but I don't know anymore...
You can find it as a public recipe on ELR under my name, Banana Cream Pie, but I did steal it from another recipe on the site.

That's the one I use, but on the facebook group I am in he said to use .5% on the super sweet, 3.33 on the sugar cookie, and 3.33 on the marshmallow. I think what you have above will be fine though... I was thinking about dropping the marshmallow to 3% as well. It's good, but I feel it's one of those that have a window period where it's perfect. It's mainly why I don't make large batches of it. (15 to 40 days). If you can don't sub the marshmallow FA, it's different than what the other manufacturers make.

Just curious, what were you planning on subbing the graham cracker CAP with?

I got some of those large Sterilite plastic under the bed storage containers back in the great 2016 stock up for all my gear/coils. It's working out great for me so I don't have to have a bunch of smaller containers, everything is well organized and out of site but easy to get to.

That's where I keep my stash tubs, under the bed. Luckily there's a decent amount of height there. vape tubs under my side, tubs full of shoes under the wife's side.

Graham Cracker (Clear). Is that TPA? That's the only Graham I have used or have at all...

I know I have two marshmallows, but I don't remember if FA is one, I'll keep that in mind. I probably have FW and TPA Marshmallow. I'm sure that is a big piece of the moon pie, so I would not sub that.

Let me know how it turns out.. I like GC-clear too.. GC CAP has kind of a honey golden graham taste to it.

I had this happen to me a few times with my Kanger mini sub tanks using the rba....sometimes untwisting it off of the mod and then twisting it back on, the mod reread the coil, and then it was good! Lol sometimes I had to build a new coil in my rba though.

Same thing has happened to me. Unscrew it a little then screw it back in. When I screwed it back in it stopped, I applied a little more force, there was a click then it went in just a little bit further. Felt like a dodgy thread. Probably on the RBA because it only happens with one particular RBA.

Well, if I don't have FA marshmallow it may be a while. But I'll let you know. I may not get the CAP graham, but I'll get that FA. I did a Peach Mallow Pie recently that wasn't bad, and want to try some different things with it. It uses Peach Pie and Cream WF, Peaches and Cream CAP, graham clear, FW Marshmallow, maybe something else....

I need to do that myself, kick off Spring cleaning sort of speak. I enjoy making dump runs here in Arkansas. The road to get there winds through the Ozark mountains and a couple of small old towns, it's beautiful. There is this one part of the journey where it smells like someone hit a skunk. The same spot every time. I recently learned that's where one of the grow farms are for medical marijuana.


Love the series ! Can’t believe Ozarks is an actual place. I thought it was a fabled place in an outer world.

    I'm up early this am, awoke at 4am and couldn't get back to sleep. Now on my third cup of coffee. I'm having a truly ECF vape--FA white chocolate peppermint piffed by @vaper1960 on the Geekvape gbox bought from @Uncle and the Recurve dual RBA bought from @AvaOrchid. I'm really enjoying it folks.

    Good morning mixers. I seem to have gotten on a strawberry kick not realizing it. I have strawberry mixes in two merlins where I was testing the milks and added strawberry to a cookie recipe. The strawberry kind of overpowered the cookie.

    I mostly stopped mixing with strawberry for awhile, not wanting to tire of it. I’ve been mixing a lot of raspberry since. Need to give that a break.

    I feel your pain. I've been up since about 4 as well. I did get my run in and am just now drinking my first cup of coffee.

    Good morning random folks ;)Have you any plans today?
    Just work stuff and some appointments. Nothing exciting. I'm also going to go buy some storage cases to help with organization. Including a couple to slide under the bed.

    You?

    No plans as yet. I need to vape up some of my stash so I'll work on that....LOL. I may work on a recipe or two if any ideas come to me. I still have a smallish stash of new recipes to try but they need a bit more steeping.

    What was the cookie recipe? Was it good besides the too much strawberry?

    BTW, I am vaping your Pomegranate Pudding recipe this morning for the first time. I had let it steep for about a week before trying it. I did the pudding at 3% instead of 4.

    How long do you generally let your new recipes steep before trying them?
