I called their 800 number and asked. We don’t have to keep them in a fridge. We should keep them in a cool dry area. She emphasized that we make sure there are no up/down fluctuating temps.

I moved my MF’s into my cool dry non temp fluctuating basement studio.

Ty for looking into it, SMT! My diy are in a cabinet, a/c set to 70*. Should be fine. I think I’ll leave the kitchen set in the fridge though for temp stability.

That is almost as bad as reading the assembly instructions ..............

What? Who reads those? And generally in such small print that you can't, anyway!

Does anyone use 50/50 for dtl vaping?

Red will be happy Magnum is up.

It looks like it is similar on the outside. There is a difference in that the RTA has AF inserts, while the RDTA and rda doesn't. On the RDTA there are two internal side airflow slots that can be opened up by unscrewing them. I hope that makes sense.

So I guess I should have looked to see what came with the rta. I didn’t know there were airflow inserts. It’s not bad but was wishing for a little more airflow. I’ll dig out the box and see if there are some different inserts.

I mix my base at 70/30 and recipes I don’t use the base on. I probably end up closer to 60/40 when using base. I made a mistake mixing a 50ml bottle last week and that one is probably around 50/50. I’ve got it in the obelisk 60 at 26 watts and can tell it’s thinner than my normal mixes.

I mix at 70/30 and like you said after I add flavors it is close to 60/40. I was just curious.

I’m about the same. Closer to 25% VG.

I didn’t get my weird mix done. Maybe tomorrow but it might be a couple days. I have so many mixes now I’d like to get one out before putting another in.

And a little research says the following will work with a mocha. Tart fruit, such as kiwis, black currants, granny smith apples, lemons, limes, and grapefruits pair especially well.

Raspberry?

I want to do a sample mix tonight with my pb cookie and add Nanaimo. However I was thinking about switching from the butter cookie to shortbread cookie. Maybe I should mix that before jumping in with a different cookie and adding the Nanaimo. One step at a time would probably be better.

If it’s a pudding recipe you should use enough pudding in it.

So just use more pudding? It's VT pudding base. Thanks.

I often loose the patience.

No, most vanillas, like Madagascar, are just vanilla flavor (think vanilla extract). VT vanilla cream is cream + vanilla. So if I was doing a substitution for VT vanilla cream with SSA vanilla, I'd add some fresh cream, whipped cream or whatever I had handy to get the extra creaminess and mouth feel. More pudding might work too.

I have WF bavarian cream... but like Fran said, it also needs more pudding. The review I read on VT vanilla cream said the name was redundant because all vanillas are creamy... I suspected that wasn't true. Here's a quote from the review:
"Vanilla Cream” is a loosely defined genre. Most “vanillas” are the very least creamy, as in they have more body than just straight vanillin. Most of your big time vanillas have some kind of thicker, creamy base. The only straight vanillas, or vanillas that won’t really affect your texture that I’ve run into are Flavourart Vanilla Bourbon, Flavorah Vanilla Bean, and just basic Vanillin / Ethyl Vanillin. So Vanilla Cream is sort of functionally redundant. This is a solid entry in the canon though."

I'm pretty sure we would be able to offer more help to you if you would post your recipe.

It's in Zazie's blog... peanut butter banana pudding with vanilla wafer.

I thought that was a favorite of yours, you’ve mentioned it many times. There is something wrong with it? Not creamy enough.

 

[vaper1960]

There’s so many good creams out there I don’t know why anyone would use vanilla to get creamy.

Maybe because (at the time) it was the only vanilla I had. Not everyone has 200-300 flavors. Then I found my new vanilla (SSA) was better (but not as creamy) Anyway... just didn't use enough pudding this time.
