    If anyone is interested in a simple kind of tropical fruit mix, here is what I have been vaping on the last few days.
    • 3% WF Island Mango
    • 1% FA Pear
    • 3.75% FA Watermelon (Red Summer)
    I adapted it from a recipe that had LA Watermelon Clear instead of Red Summer. I am liking this. The flavors seem to work pretty well together and it's not overly sweet either. It's not a masterpiece or anything, but for a simple, tasty fruit mix, it does hit the spot.

    Here is the original with the LA Watermelon...

    Looks tasty. :)

    Just filled up my bottle and tank with RF aged bourbon cream. Still my fav and so simple.

    Today I mow and work in the yard all day. Most other chores I did yesterday.

    When I start back to work it’s going to be very difficult to slow down on my vaping. I can’t fog up the place and I have to be stealth. Probably a good thing to vape less. I’m thinking about making some higher nic unflavored for work. It’ll definitely prolong my flavors using unflavored.

    Although I am more hand to mouth than getting nic.

    Surprisedly, I found drip tips on Amazon of all places, pretty reasonable prices also. Their technical name is something like a coffee fit piece,(makes no sense, but wth). Here is an example. I searched for drip tips.

    Amazon.com : 810 drip tips

    :)
    I had to look.
    Ok......genius! :lol:

    Always good to have a simple mix.

    Take a small fan to work and place it under your desk. Vapor disappears almost as soon as you exhale. Just a thought.

    But what is really sweet to you, might just be medium to someone else. I know one thing is I can't really handle overly sweet fruit mixes. They need to be balanced. But a sweet bakery or cream is fine for me every now and then.
    Wait a second... so you're saying that your medium sweet could be my way too sweet and Frannie's perfect amount of sweet???

    This is confusing... :lol: :lol:

    Thanks. I do have a floor fan. But I’m high vg and it’s still foggy. What I’ve done in the past is blow into a tissue. It helps some.

    My tastes accept a lower sweetness. I no longer enjoy bitter mixes so my tastes have changed. Really sweet is still a no no.

    I put sweetener in everything when I first started mixing. It made all my recipes taste better. Now I don't use it at all. Maybe because when I started I wasn't long off smoking and my taste buds needed a sharp kick. Or maybe I was used to premixed stuff which I think has high flavoring %. A few weeks ago I looked through my notes from when I started mixing and the only recipe I still use is TFA Creme De Menthe. My recipes now have quite low % of flavoring. Down to 6 recipes now, I had a lot more in the past.

    Creme De Menthe is my number one, number two favorite is Ginger. Number three is a Caramel one-shot. That might go away which is why I'm trying to figure out a caramel recipe.

    Another one shot I like is coffee. Not even trying to reproduce that one. I liked several coffee premixes way back but I was never able to make a coffee mix that was even half way decent.

    I do try new flavors occasionally, maybe one in 10 works for me.

    And my too much sweet could be someone's perfect amount of sour. It's a crazy world we live in.

    I do not confirm or deny that I may have blown down my shirt to hide it :lol:

    when I was doing inventory audits ug...ok that's a nonstop up and down ladders and down on the floor for bottom shelf and anything that may have rolled under it....and they didn't allow us breaks often so ya know, go sneak into the bathroom or in a corner somewhere to take a puff or two before I snapped at someone.

    AH - Yes . . . In certain places where I do not want anyone to know I am vaping (Plane/Public Bathroom/Resturants/Doctors Office/Hospital Rooms, etc) is to "Blow: the vapor into and down my shirt . . . They neither see the vapor - nor smell anything since I use unflavored . . . The other thing to do is have something that will produce a scent similar to the "smell" of your vapor - Candle, Wall Plug-in, Gel Odor Absorbers, etc. . . . I even kept a small bottle of Febreeze in a pump bottle to use when necessary and to make sure there was no odors- but the fresh and clean "Me" they smell . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    Premixed stuff does indeed have a lot of flavors, as did my early mixes. These days most of my mixes are low % of flavor too.

    What's up with Humble Juice? I've been getting a non-stop pop up ad for it since yesterday. I'm a contributing member so I hardy ever get ads.

    It hit me twice just typing in this short post.
    IDK I get it too but not that often.

    I have a very, .............ahuuuuum very ..............make that VERY large amount of premix. Lately I have taken to cutting it to 50/% juice & 50% unflavored & it still has plenty of flavor. So yeah less really is more.:confused:
