    Trying a Razzleberry Milk that’s unremarkable. It’s a bit too sweet and not fruity enough. I could fix it but I don’t think milk mixes are that great to me. I’ll probably fix it so I don’t have to dump another. I have a cookie and milk that I’m expecting to be off the wall sweet.

    FedEx finally let me have my Bull City order yay! It looked like it had been to hell and back (actually went farther than that, Hell is just in the next state over) but all the bottles were intact and accounted for. 25 30mls, 5 2ozers, a 4 oz of that Cookies and Cream FW ;), and a 10ml bottle of the VT Milk Fresh.

    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.

    I need to wind up some new coils for mine, haven't used them in a bit. Love the Gbox too..

    That is a nice looking tank. I haven't used any aspire coils in years.



    I'm jealous. I had purchased a blue one and then got the black to review. Then I won one and asked for the brown but they sent a blue one instead.

    I'm not normally into brown, but this really nice looking. With the leather it has a western look to it. I went ahead and loaded it up with some juice and gave it a try. It has a nice RDL. I wouldn't have it as my ADV, as l like a true DL. Still playing around with the settings. If you set the F0 high enough, you can actually hear it. Like others have said, I don't like the fill port. I haven't tried the adapter and probably won't for a while. My current atties all have too low of ohms for it.

    For the Cookies and Cream I saw recommendations from 4% to 10%, more towards the high side. I went with a simple recipe using it at 8% after knuckle testing and smelling it, with 1% Biscuit and 1.5% NYCC CAP. I liked the knuckle test and smell so much I wanted to try it strong, and it's really good to me. I would recommend a 5% sft for you @FranC . However, I think it will be good solo at low % as well, but it may have a slightly different profile. Even at a high % I think it will taste great with other flavors. I can taste the 1.5% cheesecake I added to mine, the 8% C&C does not smother it. It's not a weak flavor, just mild?
    What does knuckle testing mean? I've seen the term in reviews for flavors, but I have no idea what it refers to.

    That's when you put the tiniest drop of concentrated flavoring on your knuckle, and then punch someone else in the face. Then you ask them what it tasted like.
    :lol::lol::lol:
    No, close to that though. Taste a tiny drop by itself undiluted. Typically people wipe the smallest amount they can on a knuckle and lick it.

    Edit: I do not endorse punching anyone in the face unless it is completely necessary.

    I love this. You could even yell out the flavor name during the punch as a battle cry.

    "Island Mango!!!!" Bam!

    Due to some undue Yucky sweetness I now have room to mix. No new recipes ATM . I want to add maybe 4 new recipes max because I have a bunch of other stuff I need to vape. I still have 4-5 steeping and the cheesecake is for Wednesday. I gave it another shake today.

    I’m going to go give that a try. Can you go ahead and call an ambulance for me for when I get hit back?

    Before I torture myself any further, how sweet is it?

    I wouldn't call it sweet. It's not flat, for sure, but remember I tried it at 8% and I don't think of it as sweet. It's really rich and creamy, hard to get "chocolate cookie" from it exactly, but there is a distinct flavor there. And the cream is not like icing in oreos to me, that's like pure sugar and vanilla.

    I see that Cookies and Cream in some icecream as a simple combination, it's almost ice cream by itself.
    The NYCC I put in with mine gives it a distinct little twang, I'm really liking that and may try 4% of Cookies & Cream in some old cheesecake base I have.

    Ok, I’ll give it a go.

    Well I do really like Island Mango. I do think I like FLV Vanilla Pudding more than VT Pudding Base overall. But VT Pudding Base is good because it is more neutral.
    +1 on island mango, it's a total winner! FLV vanilla pudding is really good. I have VT pudding base but haven't done anything with it yet. I may try both in a mix just to see.

    Does everyone agree LB Vanilla Ice Cream is sweet. If so I want to send it to my friend. I know she’d love it.
    I didn't like it at all. Too sweet and it tasted like fake IC to me. Gave it to my younger brother. :D

    ETA: His name is not Mikey. :lol:
