    A lot of times chefs will be out of FA brand stuff but have it in their private label stuff. Nomnomz does the same thing. You can get 10, 30, or 100ml in the craft flavor label and it’s the same thing.

    This is the original. I had to sub a couple flavors.

    So the pitaya is just dragon fruit. I think it would be fine with ice cream to be simple. Not sure how many new flavors I have to try but I’ve got a few done already. Going to try to make some kind of list tomorrow.

    I got my chocolate, Pb, wafer, ice cream cone mixed with my steeping IC base.

    I mixed my Boysenberry IC with 1% each on IC flavors, 1% FLV Boysenberry and .5% TFA Acai. Going to give that a try soon, hoping for today.
    I'm very excited to hear about both!

    Another option you may like is WF Vanilla Ice Cream. It has very good reviews on ELR and ATF. I ordered some to try in the BCF order I placed yesterday.
    I've heard that the "new" ice cream trinity is: (SSA) ice cream vanilla, (WF) vanilla ice cream and (TFA) vanilla swirl. Even the first two together sound great but I've never tried vanilla swirl and it seems so popular and versatile so I'm getting all three.

    Thanks! Got a nice sized order placed for the 3 flavorings I wanted. Don't mind paying the overseas S/H when I can get enough to make it worthwhile.

    Argument with self.... You need an rda for flavor testing..... No I do not..... Yes,you do. It would be so much easier to test new flavors and mixes....... Maybe so but I hate dripping almost as much as I hate squonking..... case closed.
    Even though "you" won that argument... and case closed, consider this: flavor testing on a RDA is easy... don't need long wick tails, don't need to continually drip (just soak the wick once) and do a quick/dirty re-wick between flavors. That's my plan anyway.

    I thought I had all the flavors for the dragon fruit recipe but will have to sub two flavors. If it’s good then I won’t worry about ordering the missing two.
    I have everything BUT the WF dragon fruit. If it’s fabulous, maybe I’ll order it. That’s a “wait” item fo sho

    I’m sticking with the 2 SSA ice cream flavors.

    Flavor and/or recipe taste testing on an old school 510 atty or a JoyeTech Mega eGo atty is even easier! That's what I've used since I started DIY. I do Bill's 100 Drop Taste Test with them. :)

    Good morning mixers. Feeling kind of tired this morning. I’d really like to start exercising a little in the morning before work but can’t seem to find the motivation. Instead I sit and vape while reading the forum. I don’t think it’s burning many calories.
    Yes, I completely understand.
    Today, I went out for a bike ride for the first time since early last Fall. I had to push myself to go out. I used to do around 20 miles every couple of days. Today I did around 6 miles, and I hurt all over. I understand that some of it is just not doing it for months now. But, some of it is just psychological.

    And I somewhat disagree. Reading the forum can burn many calories, given how much activity there is on it.

    How about WF Pitaya, which I think is another word for dragonfruit? Anyone tried that one yet? The only dragon fruit I have is TFA, and it's just ok.
    To me (TFA) dragonfruit just tastes like "juicyfruit" gum... boring BUT it is nice to add to other fruits.

    I did manage to get in a short workout tonight. I tried to run some but I was having some arthritis pain in my legs. I need to get on a regular schedule again. The running seemed to keep the pain to a minimum in the past. You’re definitely right about the psychological aspect. I just wasn’t motivated tonight either and that has a definite affect. If I was motivated then I would have worked through the discomfort.

    If you read the end of this thread :
    Re-launch of .................... :-)
    you can see why he got himself banned.
    :blink: well his replies were deleted :lol: now I'm curious to know what he said :lol: but I saw HIC and Dan's posts....man that's bs...it's one thing to share ones' recipe...it's another thing to pretend to be said person :grr:
    and as the owner of the site, they could block specific names from being registered *IF* it was a member and not they themselves pretending to be HIC or other mixers
    *giggles* everyone should boycott elr and join my recipe site :lol:

    Have you ever thought of getting an exercise bike? I use mine in the winter mostly, but it's also good to use if I'm having plantar fasciitis issues. It might be easier on your arthritis pain than running would be.
