About ticks... if you remove them soon enough (something like 6 hours) they are harmless. Doesn't matter if the head stays in, ect but if you wait too long, can have issues. I have tried the hot match and other techniques but really they make a handy little tool that works great! Always have someone help you look all over to find ticks (check each other)


I live in an area that is heavily infested with ticks. My dog never has ticks though. Why you ask, I feed him garlic. I do not know, but I have been told that it makes the blood unpalatable to ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, and any other blood eating critter.
I get him to eat it by cooking 10 chicken thighs in a slow cooker with 1/4 teaspoon of minced garlic. I never find a tick on him and the groomer, nor the veterinarian have either.

Hope this helps someone.

    I made two things recently with ws-23. One is Grapefruit Lemonade by NEVANS and it is available on that site we all use but cannot link. The other is called Shattered Lemon by the same guy. In both, I cut the WS down to 1% and did not add the sweetener called for. I did add a few drops of my Trader Joes liquid Stevia though

    I made that lemonade before and liked it but I left out the ws23

    I think I would rather be at the lake than getting a new vape mod. Plus, you have something to look forward to when you get home.

    Yeah but it’s not just any mod. It’s the Dovpo Abyss.

    I think that the main problem with people's different recipe tastes is the setup they're using. One man's RDA may bring out the nuances in another's weak mix.....thoughts??

    Totally true! I use the same two or three recipes in all review samples and the flavor can vary quite a bit.

    Exactly, Charlie :) Everything vapes diffently.

    Agree. That's why all my "testers" are tested in my normal RTAs. :thumb:

    Yup same....I think that all the recipe sites should have a box where you need to input the device that you use. Then you could search for recipes based on your own setup preference and I'm sure you'd have more success choosing the right recipe :)

    Yep....so you get a "this recipe is the bomb" and if you don't know what setup they're using the comment is useless.
    Yes, that can certainly happen. On the other hand your setup could be similar or even better.

    That's a good idea. Often times the recipe authors will make a note about what their set up is, but actually being able to search for different options would be very helpful.
