Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

I have a cart going at DIY vapor supply and another going at BCF.

It never ends. Oh well, flavoritis is still cheaper than gear Shinyitis.

Before I left I managed to get most of my flavors moved, and very well organized, from many boxes into actual organizers.

I bought some of the Plano 3700 series Deep Prolatch stowaway's. They measure 14"L x 9.13"W x 3.25"H and are perfect for the 10ml bottles and the old shorter 15ml FLV bottles. They were like $6 each. It's model # 2-3730-05 if anyone is interested. I didn't buy enough. Still need to get another one or two for maybe just over a hundred more bottles.

I need to buy a deep tool box for the 2oz, 4oz and 16oz flavor bottles. I did not count how many flavors I have.

And I need to go to one of the local Harbor Freight stores to pick some of the bigger organizers to accommodate both the older and newer taller 30ml bottles.

I think this is the one @hittman, Fran and Red bought a while back. 8 Bin Large Portable Parts Storage Case

Please let me know if that's not the right one. Thank you.

That’s the same case I have. The bins are just arranged differently.

When I sft'ed SSA shortbread cookie I was immediately reminded of a Lorna Doone shortbread cookie. It's good. I have the WF but still need to sft it. Makes me wonder if combining the two would make a better shortbread cookie, need to try that. I have the shortbread biscuit but haven't used it yet. That might be a good match for toning down the CAP sugar cookie too. I need to try that as well.

I will certainly be interested in your findings. I remember I used to like Lorna Doones.

BTW. Anything interesting in your carts?

At DIY vapor I have INW Miss Cream and the HA French vanilla ic in my cart. I'm still looking around to see what else I want from there. I really don't need anymore creams as I seem to have most of them but something tells me to buy Miss cream. It does have good reviews.

And at BCF I have some flavors in my cart that I'm low on. For new ones I added MB green banana on Hitt's recommendation from a recipe he posted a while back. Also getting PUR raspberry, watermelon, banana and simply cake. I'm very curious about their cake and banana.

Finding a good banana can be a test in patience. So far my go to for a natural tasting banana has been FA's. It's a realistic yellow banana but not overly ripe (brown) with about a mid level of real banana sweetness. I do like TFA Banana Cream, WF Banana Puree and FLV banana. The first two are used in @Skeebo's Banana Leche recipe (really good BTW). I had FW's but piffed it, it tasted like candy to me. In my last order I rec'd SSA ripe banana and VT Banana Custard but still need to test both.

I wish someone would get the 24 new Flavour Art flavors in because there are several I want to get. I know Chef's will get them and will likely carry the ones that won't be sold in the US like they have with some of the other FA flavors. There has been a good amount of talk on those at the ELR forum. A few folks there have been doing sft's.

I did test one of my new coffee mixes today. It's a good and flavorful coffee vape but way too strong for me. I need to cut the tiramisu down to 0.25% on the next go. I forgot how strong FA tiramisu was. Don't know what I was thinking, lol.

FA Tiramisu 0.75%
WF Mocha and Cream 0.75%
FA Milk 1%
SSA Classic Vanilla 0.5%

I suppose if someone likes a really bold coffee vape they may enjoy it.

In my cappuccino coffee recipe I used SSA tiramisu at 0.25% and was very pleased with the results. It sat in the mix like a tiramisu should, as a helper, IMO.

Are Lorna Doone cookies the ones that come in the little round tin? Those are the cookies we used to have around Christmas time with different shapes.

I think it’s the one Red got. I bought both of mine at Lowe’s.

Those are some kind of Danish butter cookie, I believe, @Redbird11.

No, regular type pkg.

Not Danish butter cookies.

These ones by Nabisco. The grocery stores around here carry them. They're really good. Nabisco purchased them from F. A. Kennedy Steam Bakery (Cambridge, MA) who first produced the Fig Newton many years ago. F. A. Kennedy Steam Bakery bought the Lorna Doones recipe from the Malloys (of Ireland) who originally created them. They ran a bakery in Chi-Town.

I don't remember if they ever sold them in tins around Christmas time. When I was a kid I had an aunt who owned a bakery. They used to make cookies of all different shapes and decorations for all the holidays.

Thanks Hitt. I'll check Lowe's on my next trip.

 

[Redbird11]

Thanks Hitt. I'll check Lowe's on my next trip.

The one I have is from Harbor Freight. It is the one you posted earlier. I like it and will probably end up getting another one. Works perfect for 10ml and 30ml bottles.

Oh I checked, these were the ones I was thinking of.

Fran was asking about
And bemoaning the flavoring offerings. This is an interesting read, but not a solution, more of a problem definition. Banana candy-flavor vs the "real" bananas we get on the store shelves today (and the reason why they're limited and less flavorful, as a comparison).
Meet Isoamyl Acetate, the Banana-Flavored Molecule You Love to Hate

So apparently there's old-school banana flavor and then there's post-1950's decimation banana flavor. And also candy flavor, of course.

I have the same one as you.

Pretty sure Redbird is thinking of these:

I guess I guessed right.

Quite an article

Yep, those were really good cookies. I haven't had them in years.

Now I would like to try some of those fat bananas.
