Random DIY mixing and More

[NolaMel]

I am not going to comment. Just not going to. Nope.

But if you do go, you could pick up those shoes you left behind...

He’s just being nice because I sent his shirts back yesterday
And, I don’t have his shoes.... hmmmm. How did YOU know he left shoes somewhere????

I agree. Let’s get back to mixing or whatever.

Excellent idea.

I agree. Let’s get back to mixing or whatever.

One of my 4 outstanding packages arrived today. Out of the blue. And my FT package that I thought was lost forever suddenly appeared at the sorting center in my neighborhood--one month and two days after it was shipped.

Things are looking up.
Off to place my Chefs order--thanks, @FranC for being my tester.

Have fun, Mixers!

That's terrifying. Everybody everywhere is being hacked/scammed all the time, or so it seems.

It's a wicked world.

 

[Zazie]

Yes, I would think so. I know I don't have the expertise to try cleaning it up properly. Or to get rid of the fumes. Might make it worse and cost me even more.

I'd find a lab to break it down and dilute it for me.

I get a lot of private messages from people on Facebook. A lot of them are looking for Diamondback Terrapins, so I always chat with strangers or people who are in some of the reptile groups I am in.

But 1 out of 10 of them are weird. Like this one from just the other day--

I would have asked if you had a turtle who could skateboard.

Now you know I would have been 1 of the weird ones.

BTW, what kind of turtle is that?

Ok,please stop the nic conversation

There’s instructions online on turning a stove hood vent into a fume hood enclosure. It won’t be as tight as in the lab obviously, but it adds a layer of safety to the decanting. I have a kevlar lab coat ( acid safe) if you want to borrow it.

I was thinking about the stove, but you can also get good results with a fan and open window. It has the added benefit of fresh air in as well as venting fumes out. Nicotine is not a highly volatile chemical. It's main danger is skin/mucus membrane absorption and also oral ingestion. As for the offer of the lab coat, I considered it, but I feel it probably wouldn't fit me as I'm a very large person. I appreciate the offer. I found some spill resistant gowns I'll order along with gloves and eye protection. I've got plenty of face shields. I've got the thick plastic bags that the bottles came in that I'm going to put the glass bottles in, in case of breakage.

I need to decide which of my new recipes look the most promising. Chef’s and BCF orders are both tracking. I’m sure I’ll find something soon that I should have ordered

That’s enough please. Classy will close this thread if you don’t drop the subject.

That is a juvenile Russian tortoise.

Sorry, Fran.

Agreed, but just in case:

@FranC ... when you started back when, did you start with a full recipe, or do the top 2 flavors and go back and build on that?

So I decided to pull out some premade. Apple Caramel Drop by Ruthless.



I might try putting a drop of some other flavor in the tank. The apple is kinda sour and it’s just not good. I’m glad I didn’t spend hardly any money on it from ejuicesteals.

Seems like a real Whack-a-doodle-do.

Red likes her.

Cuz @Katya has a pair of mine at her place. No shirts though.

I'm making the simple syrup flavorings tonight for the shaved ice I'm doing at the horse rescue's fundraiser Saturday. Using these flavorings from my vape stash: WF Banana Candy, a combo of TFA Strawberry Ripe + CAP Sweet Strawberry, OSDIY Blue Raspberry Slush, LorAnn Bubblegum, TFA Watermelon, and either OSDIY Margarita or OSDIY Olde Tyme Root Beer. Those have all been the most popular ones in the past when I've done it.

OH! I almost forgot...I'm going to give the WF Island Mango a try this year, too. I'm thinking it'll likely be a new popular one.

I jumped into recipes from the start. I’m sure a more methodical method would probably have worked better. I had lot of fails but the winners made it worth it.

Be honest. You just made that up didn't you?
