Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

I woke up planning to get all my new flavors into ELR and AtF and then labeled, put into a case, and added to the inventory on my computer, but it got hot, so it looks like I'm only going to manage the first part of the chore. Oh well. Something, anyway.

Too dang hot here too.

For me banana is going to be a no go. Tried the llama spit one shot, total yuck can't taste anything but sweet rotten banana candy, I'll let it steep more and keep my fingers crossed... I don't know why I revisit it I've never found a banana eliquid I can vape. I'm going to let the other one shots I bought steep longer before I try them.
On the other hand the FA tiramisu at 1% is super yum! Thank You @classwife different from allusion but I like it more.

I'm so glad you like it !

I got brave enough to try my banana pudding and guess what.....I can vape banana but this one is terrible. FW and it tastes like candy. Yuck.

Is there such a thing as a good banana flavor that doesn't taste like candy.

I've never tried it but MF sells a banana flavor.. I think I'd try theirs if you want authentic banana - they don't go the candy route with their extracts.

That's one of my thoughts with the other being FLV.

The Great Blue Heron was out. I think it's about 4' tall. He grabbed a fish for dinner after this pic, then headed home.

Nice pic. Where I lived up in the mountains, we had a small general store across from a pond. There were always blue herons there (they had nests right in the trees by the store)

Good evening folks,
I mixed a little tonight, in total it was 12.
Then I had made some calculation mistakes so it got complicated lol

I ended up cooking dinner instead of finishing a review I was working on. My oldest is back for a couple days. She had rehearsal again so drove there and then came home after. She blew a fuse in her car a week or so ago and still hasn’t gotten it fixed so I’ll go take a look at it in a little while. Her boyfriend is useless when it comes to stuff like that.

I thought the taste of banana would be a total turn off and it wasn’t. That candy taste was right behind and that’s just yuck.
It’s not all that important to me but intriguing enough to give it another shot. I think I’ll give the FLV a final shot.

For non-candy tasting bananas....I really like TFA DX Banana Cream (and the regular version of it) and WF Banana Puree. I've used the TFA in my NannerBerry DIY since 2015 and in a Pina Colada mix. Haven't made any DIY with the WF Banana Puree yet, but a drop of it on my finger doesn't give me a candy-like taste at all. Tastes like smashed up bananas do when I make banana nut bread...except for the EA that I'd let evaporate out before vaping a mix made with it. In fact, after doing that test, I've gotten a larger bottle of it since then. I just taste-tested it again though, to be sure it still tasted the way I said it did initially. Yep...still tastes like smashed up bananas to me.

Boyfriend needs to be a mechanic.

Peach, Mango, Apricot.....tell me more.....???

Sure. Originally I had TFA Peach juicy (was never happy with it... would recommend FA white peach instead) Anyway, I love mango and really like FLV Mango. But... both are sweet and a bit much. FA Apricot just balances it all out (the perfect trio) Add something creamy (I use Bavarian cream) and it's heavenly.

I did a quick mix yesterday with my ssa ice cream base and added 3% baked strawberry. Either it was too much or it needs a steep. It seems harsh like there’s alcohol in it or something.

WF Banana Puree

It's the only banana I have but like it very much. Just used it in a recipe I mixed yesterday (it's actually my favorite vape right now but it has to steep)

 

[vaper1960]

My best description is that it's beyond a usable floral.

I just looked it up and it's some kind of "sweet olive" but I suspect what you got is the flowers flavor (I don't do well with overly floral)
