I am so sorry about Catdog. Losing our furry friends is the worst thing ever. I am struggling with my Joe and take him to the vet weekly almost. He is only 14 and that is not too old for a healthy cat. Massive weight loss led us to the vet. Nothing showed up on bloodwork. Next blood in pee and urine and I hospitalized him (my baby) at a state-of-the-art animal hospital in Atlanta. Still, no diagnosis but the blood stopped. More weight loss and more tests finally comes through, he is diabetic. He went from 1 unit twice a day, not much change, 2 units twice a day and still not much change. His vet wanted to go to 3 units twice a day but I insisted on more bloodwork first. Never, while saving for retirement. did I imagine I would be whittling away at my savings spending it on animals. It is what it is.
Poor, sweet Joe. I hope the vet can get it under control.

Just placed a BCF order, I had to get a large size Purilum Buttermint! It used to be a staple for me and I'm so glad BCF has it now! I did grab some other Purilum favorites, raspberry, watermelon, lemonade, country apple, boysenberry, white peach and trying toasted coconut cheesecake, coffee with sweet milk and carmel and WS-3. I hope they will add more Purilum flavors. I tossed in a few other nonPerilum flavors from my wish list too since I was there. :)

OMG! So many pages since the last time. LOL I do plan on a order for BCF. I really like Purilum flavors that I have tried. I have a big bottle of the buttermint from the River supply sale (once upon a time). I love the coffee with sweet cream. I'm planning on mixing in some marshmallow next mix. I have 0 flavorwest flavors. When I first started diy'ing I used some of the tobacco flavors. I got bent out of shape over their non disclosure of extra goodies in the flavorings such as corn syrup.

On a different note does Flavorwest have any flavors suitable for one shots or two flavor combo's?

Today I also tested my sft for WF Mille Feuilles. Mille Feuilles is a fancy name for a vanilla slice. :D Basically it's a crisp puff pastry with a vanilla custard-like filling with an icing on top. There are many different recipes depending on where in the world it's made.

They look like this...

...and also like this.

I tested this at 3% diluted in 70VG/30PG 6mg nic using a 26/36 SS316L clapton with a Hussar v2 RDA (MTL/RDL) on a Mono SQ dna 75 at 16w-30w. 4 week steep.

I've never had a Mille Feuilles in real life so I don't know how accurate this flavor is compared to a real vanilla slice.

The vanilla patisserie cream is light but very smooth. It's almost like the filling inside of an eclair (in part) but not quite that in full measure. The vanilla note is light. It is rich tasting but not in a very heavy way like some creams are. It has a light delicate pastry note much like a puff pastry. There is a sweet bakers icing note much like the icing shown in the pics above might taste.

How sweet is it? It's not something I would recommend to someone who does not like sweet flavors unless they know how to tame the sweetness. Personally I don't care for real sweet vapes or flavors. But, if I am able to tame the sweetness of a flavor then I am fine with them. Someone who likes sweet flavors would probably enjoy this in a mix as is and may even enjoy it as a single flavor.

I do not taste anything off putting. It is a good smooth flavor with no harshness. I see it's use as more of an additive to a recipe. I will use it from 0.5%-2% (depending). Some may find it to be nice as a main flavor (2%-3%+).

The pastry note needs help in order for it to shine as a true pastry. My croissant base would work well for that.

I can see it being used as a patisserie cream but do feel it needs the help of another cream or a custard. Pairing it with FA Custard Premium would be excellent. Together, with perhaps a light touch of INW Shisha Vanilla, they would make a convincing eclair filling. I would suggest CAP Vanilla Custard v1 if more eggy notes are desired. Custards should be used with a light touch so as not to overtake Mille Feuilles.

Mille Feuilles would also work nicely paired with fruits, bakery, chocolate and vanilla. But keep in mind this is a delicate flavor.

As always, YMMV. :)

I guess I should be a sft.
Right. I mean, there are some flavors we know that we can jump right in with and then there are the 'others' from off the beaten path. Like my milky fudge caramel. :lol: :lol:

If it's a fruit I have no problems with jumping right into a mix. That is, if it's a fruit I know and have actually eaten. :)

I like the pecan at 1% single flavor but with a long long steep at minimum 10 weeks

    I am hoping I don't have to go to my folks this weekend.
    I want to get to messing with the coffee and tea mixes I have been wanting to do.

    Have you thought about pairing the honeysuckle with a green tea?

    Thanks for all the information! I bought that but hadn’t tried it yet.

    Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen,

    We had a walk with Øsa, was a total of 6km, feel that I have trained enough today.
    There was some mixing too, ended up with 11. Fran's Irish Cream as well as Ice Cream Base were included, looking forward to tasting them.
    This weekend I will start tasting the Stixx mixtures, they have been on steep time for 4 weeks.
