My wife was a groomer and owned a medium sized grooming business. Some days I would help out. I sold her business after she passed away. I kept most of her gear, along with a grooming table and two dryers. Cat and Dog get groomed by me ( :lol: ). Trimmed their nails this morning. Cat got a bath yesterday (she loves baths). :)
My dog does not care for getting her nails clipped. I tried to do it myself once, but was too worried about hurting her. I will happily pay the professionals to do all that stuff for me.

Plum is one of those flavors that always interested me. Love the fruit but never tried it as a vape flavor. The other one is fig. I should be more adventurous :)
Oh man, a Fig Newton vape recipe would be awesome! I used to love eating those.

    I've mixed with plum before and had some recipes folks liked but I lost interest. If I remember right I had a problem with the sweetness. This new FA plum really has my interest May have to mix one of my old plum recipes.

    I started a new cart at BCF for some of the other new FA's.

    Costa Rica Pineapple
    Ice Cream Italian
    Jacote Plum
    Pina Colada Brazilian

    Lulo (decided I can't pass on a fruit Elephants love ;))

    I should have just tossed them in the cart the other day. :facepalm: I kept going back and forth on those. Oh well, no biggie. :lol:

    I copied this into ELR from the jean cloud vapes clone recipes. I haven’t fussed with it yet, but it might give you some ideas

    I know but we all usually agree on absolutely revolting :D
    Perfumy is rather revolting to me. I'm going to add nic base to that one to get the flavor % cut down. MIght fix the perfume, might not.

    Yes some flavours may work as potential accents at very low percentages but when your taste buds are a bit dulled like mine it's arguable that they shouldn't be in there at all and if you have to go too low then it may as well not be there in the first place....it depends I know :)

    A while back I wanted to try a little experiment. I was curious to know if WF Mascarpone Cheese would work in a cookie mix. To my surprise it does. As a flavor mascarpone amazes me (it's awesome).

    Buttery Vanilla Cream Cookie

    SSA Shortbread Cookie 2%
    CAP sugar Cookie v1 0.75%
    WF Mascarpone Cheese 0.75%
    INW Shisha Vanilla 0.5%
    VT Butter Base 0.25%

    Suggested steep time = 3-4 weeks. The longer you go the better it is. YMMV

    SSA shortbread and CAP sugar cookie are truly an excellent pairing. Together they do make a fine cookie. I can't thank @Sugar_and_Spice enough! :) Mascarpone added it's mild cheesy creaminess. Shisha vanilla lends a light yet bright vanilla note. VT Butter Base added the slight extra butter note I was after for the shortbread cookie.

    After munching on some Lorna Doone shortbread cookies I felt SSA shortbread cookie was lacking that rl buttery note. VT butter base resolved that but not in an overpowering way (0.25% was perfect).

    Next I am planning on mixing this with cashew, or maybe hazelnut, and perhaps a fruit or two. @Butch, as is this would work nicely with cappuccino. ;)

    I hadn't tried a plum vape until lately when I tried plumcotta by Julia Su. I really didn't care for the plum flavor.

    Our dog is a Shiba and she has never liked her paws touched. I've clipped her nails some but am usually nervous about it because it's hard to get her to sit still for me. She doesn't love it but will let my youngest daughter clip her nails so whenever she's home I ask her to clip them. Even the vet doesn't like clipping her nails when we take her in.

    Trust me. The new FA Plum is different.

    Many folks can't stand floral vapes. Yet there are some who enjoy them front and center. I don't mind florals as long as they are in the background or as a slight accent. For me if they are a main note then yuck. I would never SFT one.

    I think trying to rate flavors off SFT's isn't a good idea simply because a flavor may not perform well, or show its true capabilities, as an SFT but may do great in a mix. I think I would be safe in saying many here have had that exact experience.

    I can agree with all that.

    IRL the jocote plum looks very different than any of the plums we normally see here.
    Jocote-Spanish-Plum.jpg


    Jocote or Ciruela Roja. Known in English as Red Mombin and Hog Plum, jocotes are tree fruits, produced by Spondias purpurea of the Cashew Family, which is native to tropical America. It is also very common in most of the Caribbean Islands. Often jocotes are eaten raw but Mexicans also like to mash them in water, add sugar, and drink the water like Kool-Aid.

    I don't like the plum flavors that are based off the plums we normally see at grocery stores. But, I do enjoy eating them irl.
