Ugh. Catastrophe this morning after I woke up late. I might have killed a radius but I guess I will be SEEING.

That's it I'm buying a coffee cup with a lid next time I go out and training me to use it. I don't even know how it HAPPENED nor am I awake enough yet to like, figure it out.

Meeeeh. Maybe once I wake up some I will feel better. I mean....

But yes that is seeding, and I'm gonna try it.

It was mixed on 8-19.
Give it a week or two. I’m super impatient, but just pulled mine back out as I attempt to use up some juice to gain some empty bottles. Much better at 5 weeks. Before it was okay, just nothing special. Miles better now

    It's not that I don't like it. I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around what I'm tasting. It's a strange combination with the citrus of the orange and the savory of the cheesecake. The orange comes through nice enough and the cheesecake is good too. They are just kind of odd together. I just made a 10ml and have only filled the tank once so I've got some time to make a decision if I want to make more. By the time I get through the rest of the bottle it will be 4-5 weeks. I'm keeping that one at home and am only going to use it after work in the evening. I'm not a heavy vaper so 10ml lasts me a while especially since I usually have around 6-7 tanks with different flavors going at one time.

    How do you not have Cap sugar cookie yet?
    :oops::oops::oops:. Apparently it didn’t make it in with the first 100 or so flavors. I’m a “bit” stubborn... could’ve sworn I hated dessert/cream/custard vapes. I was oooooooh so wrong. Just started building a store of those flavors in the last month or so. Don’t panic, it’s on “The List”

    I’m going to pull a little before it’s gone and add a touch of fig. My MIL made a cheesecake this weekend with orange zest and dried chopped figs in the crust. It was insanely delicious

    Yes, and you get me in trouble from both sides :lol:. But it’s all :wub::wub::wub:
    IIRC it was you who wanted some new shinies that you could slip past the hubs...besides I think our Skunk deserves most of the credit for the buying spree.:lol:
    Still no pics of a new squonk...:shock:

    I cannot go to that thread anymore, ladies... I am on a self-imposed hardware ban! LOL

    I say that at least once every month and then something turns up that I just have to have.

    In reality there's nothing that I have to have either but my mind talks me into pressing the order button. I have boxes and boxes of mods and tanks that would last me two lifetimes.

    I almost forgot to mention that I was at Menards this weekend and saw that they have storage cases that look pretty much like the nail polish cases that people have posted pictures of but they are only $12. I was thinking about getting one when my wife came up to me and said " don't you think you should go through your stuff and get rid of some instead of buying more storage containers" and I replied calmly "No". I didn't end up buying one but might in the future.

    If I make a mix I really like it's my habit to mix another bottle right away to steep. I have a variety of flavors I vape every day and my favorites are always steeped when I need them.
    I am the same way Fran. But still going to try the seed steeping. Mine will be my peach mix because LA peach takes 3 weeks to pop and sometimes I just get impatient. Lol

    You'll be back.:rolleyes:
    Oh, yee of little faith... I'm finding flavors are so much cheaper than mods/tanks, so here I stay! :p
    I say that at least once every month and then something turns up that I just have to have.
    If I don't look, I won't want! LOL I have mods that I haven't even played with yet and way too many tanks (many still sealed), so... Nope, not doing it. The husband is already ...... at all the flavors and still won't let me vape (I don't vape in front of him), because he's of the mind that it is worse than smoking (he's a 'special' one - LOL!), but seems less 'confrontational' since I've told him that I can now control all of those 'chemicals' he's so fixated on. :lol:
    Nothing I have to have. Just flavors. Finally got my Raspberry Cookie Mixed so I feel like I accomplished something.
    Linzer tart just sprung to my brain... I need to make a vape like that! :D

    I'm still not quite clear on what happened to all my mixes and I did NOT label correctly. I also need to rewick and even recoil some of my sirens today.... I tipped over a bunch of mods again... I'm going to go about this recoiling business when I can bear to do it, I have been saying the "F" word quite frequently this morning, not really to anyone (certainly not Siri, she'd send the men in white coats) but just you know.... How one does.

    Boldly, I decided to take the mix I was LEAST sure what it was and put it in my newly wicked and coiled Siren, I for sure hope it's not the fruity with Mexican spice (that H word) but it doesn't smell like it might be that.

    Gosh, maybe I should use my brandy and ginger ale mix, that IS labelled and at worst, might cheer me up.

    Love it when a plan comes together,
    Anna

    That's too bad that he's like that. Does he smoke? My wife still smokes despite me vaping for the last 9 years. She seems to be more concerned with how much vaping stuff I have rather than quitting even though I bought her a couple starter kits. She does acknowledge that it isn't as harmful as smoking and is glad I made the switch since both of my parents had COPD.

    Finally test day for VTA :banana::banana::banana:!!! Have creme brulee in one fresh tank since I’m still coffeeing. Other fresh tank for a reward after I finish cleaning out my art “junk” drawers (whole freaking bedroom chest of s**t). They definitely nailed the burnt sugar topping. Creme is good, but could use a boost to me, as I like an eggy custard. Most would probably find it good as is. For a dessert, it’s not too sweet. More along the lines of cheesecake for comparison. The sugar is not as sweet as it is caramelized. Keeper, definitely
