The section of my drawer divider for new mixes is chuck full. All mix dates are in June but some don’t need a long steep. I need to get trying stuff.
I really get that.
I went through my inventory of untried mixes, and I was annoyed at the number of them which I've not tried yet.
While I'm trying to finish off several premade tobaccos, which are old now and have lost some flavor, but damned if I'm going to toss them, given the preciousness of nic. Plus a couple of diy fails, which aren't terrible, but just not for me, but I won't toss them either.
And not yet tried a few new NETs thanks to the generosity of we know who. But, they're 30d steeped next week, so that's coming.

    Give yourself a treat and try one of those NETs.

    I added base to dilute it because it was too strong. Next time I’ll mix at .5%
    You can tell I’m pooped… my brain read it as a base flavor :facepalm:
    I should mix a couple coffee trials for the steep box tomorrow. Two weeks? Unless +cream , then a month?

    Depends what your mixing. The Mocha Coffee is ok at a week IMO

    People, put your hand up if you like a sweet vape. Give this post a dislike if you don't. (I won't be offended, just looking for a rough count.)
    My hand is up!
    I’m no added sweetener most of the time. A little natural sweet is ok….sugary syrupy sweet, not in a vape.

    Good evening everyone. I hope everybody had a good Sunday. I spent the day eating and watching golf with my dad. It was actually a decent day to grill out. Not too hot, with a nice little breeze.
    Glad you had good weather :)

    I’ve called three tree cutters and only one called me back and he still hasn’t shown up to look at them. So I’ll be calling more tomorrow. Crazy. I can’t give them my money it seems.

    I had some big branches down a few weeks ago. They came and grabbed up the fallen branches right away. But I need one big tree removed and damage taken care of on several others. Their waiting list for that stuff is three months.

    I like sweet to a certain point. I have had some that were too sweet.

    I got an estimate and am on the list.

    Milwaukee. There are plenty of decent bakeries and some good butchers spread around the city. Not just here but many other places around the state. There are a couple really good Polish bakeries here too. Just down the road in Chi-Town there are still pretty many old time places too.
    It's great that small independent bakeries, butchers etc of whatever ethnicity still exist. I love diversity in food and everything else. Here's hoping they persist.

    Round three is over and the score is now 3-0.
    I have run out of poison, but I have taken many of those who were in the wall around the bedroom, with a little luck I get a box of poison today, is not a normal item on a Sunday.
    If not, I can buy 3-4 boxes tomorrow so I can get sprayed well around the opening I made over the window.
    Now I'm going to have a few hours of vape.

    I also started on 2% FA Tiramisu and it was not that great for my sense of taste. I only mixed 10ml, but that is enough to mix the strength down to 1% Tiramisu.
    It's a pity they're bees rather than wasps.
    But, that said, insects within a wall are not good.
    We had wasps who found a small opening between the window sill and a clapboard. By the time I noticed them, the internal nest had grown to an enormous population, based on the flow of traffic in and out.
    As much insecticide as I managed to spray from a distance wasn't enough, since it didn't get far enough in.
    Finally, called a professional, and one treatment did the trick.
    Given that he wore protective gear, so managed to treat the nest from inches away, versus my eight foot distance.

    I don't like alcohol flavors as a main note but they do work magic as an accent.

    A small amount of FA Gin will make light fruit flavors bright and summery, it adds sparkle to darker fruits and berries and enhances all the citrus flavors.

    Adding a little FA Jamaican Rum to dark fruits and berries makes them taste warm and oven baked.
    LOL
    @ShowMeTwice you make everything, including stuff I don't like, sound great.
    So, tell us about a few you really hated.
