Yesterday was so humid and hot outside I didn’t want to leave the ac.
Perfectly understandable....hope it cools down a bit or at least gets less humid. Here it's a dry heat mostly so it's better...but hot is still hot!!

I still haven’t received my order. I emailed them and on June 30th it will be 32 days and can make a claim.
They'll put it right eventually I'm sure. They told me that the reason they upgraded my shipping was because it gave much more protection on such a big order. I guess they would have been refunded if they'd had to send it again if it got lost.

    We had strong storms last night so it's most likely going to be very humid again today. I think it might stay in the 80's though.

    I know its the wrong place but Liquid Smith - VG - PG - Flavor Concentrates is 50% off

    I've never heard of them before. Are they going out of business or something?

    Work, errands, and taking my dog to the groomers. She will be ...... at me for the rest of the day.

    How about you?
    I'm hoping to try some more of the new FA flavors. I'd like to finish so they can go back to steep.

    SessionDrummers review says Baileys Cream and grapefruit. Smoky and tart. We have hardly ever agreed. I get the Baileys Cream. I get no taste of grapefruit but there is a fruit taste I can’t put my finger on. It’s not tart either but has a low sweetness. This is not boozy at all to me. It is a pleasant vape and probably can do with a bit of steeping.
    I read SD's review. Not sure where in the world he came up with grapefruit. Taste is subjective so, yeah.

    IRL the ripe marula fruit is said to have an aroma almost like ripe pears and passion fruit, with flavors that are quite similar and very tangy.

    What I'm Drinking Now: Turning Marula Into Amarula - D Magazine

    When ripe marula is processed the fruit is destoned, fermented, then double-distilled, first in column stills and then in copper pot stills and aged in oak barrels for 24 months. Finally, it’s mixed with fresh cream and bottled at 17 percent ABV. The result? A velvety, rich, nutty-caramel flavor with a hint of citrus. Think: Bailey’s, but way better. ---> in real life ;)

    This Magical African Fruit Gets Both Wild Animals and Humans Lit (Kinda)

    Funny tidbit... Marula fruit grows on a tree, known as the “elephant tree” and the “fertility tree” is said to have aphrodisiac properties, and is a favorite among the gentlest giant of the African big five, as elephants have a special weakness for the ripe fruit.

    Tracking for my BCF order says it will be delivered Saturday. One of the first I'll SFT will be Aramula. :)

    I'll be interested in your opinion of these flavors. I haven't found anything outstanding but I know that can change with some steeping so I still have hopes.

    I'm only 250 posts behind woohoo! haha

    Thanks @ShowMeTwice for checking into that custard @BCF because the only 1 I want to try is 2... so off the wish list it goes - lol...

    I'm so hungry... lol. I'm waiting for DH to come home with a burger.. today is rest day for me!
    Custard Extra 1 (custard extra) is on its way from BCF. I'm in the process of placing an order with Nom Nomz for Custard Extra 2 and the other FA's that likely won't be sold in the US.

    From reviews I've read both Custard Extra 1 and 2 are less eggy versus FA Custard Premium. Richer vanillas as well. CE1 is said to be more of a complimentary flavor in a mix. CE2 is supposedly more of a base custard.

    I see a place for each of FA's 4 custards. From the lighter to the heavier.


    Hope y'all enjoyed your burgers! ;) :)

    I mixed the new FA Vanilla Cookie with the new FA Strawberry Green and that is up next.
    The Strawberry Green is indeed green. I have no problem tasting strawberry and I taste none in this. It is tart. I have no idea how good the cookie is because the strawberry green stomps all over it. IMO
