Random DIY mixing and More

[Zazie]

I'll be watching futbol tomorrow. Weird, Italy is the home team for the match but they're playing at Wembley Stadium in London. Just strange. I doubt there will be more Italians there than UK folks.



Zazie, have you always been into curling?

Reason I ask, is I never cared for curling until the last Olympics. Thinking, for me, it must be an age thing.

These Summer Olympics will be really strange without fans. But I get it, the deadly is making it's rounds there and they don't have so many vaccinated yet.

I only fell in love with curling during the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Mixed some banana nut bread tonight. Several different mixes with different % and some with other flavors added.

Was planning to try out TFA Caramel Cappuccino. I've seen various comments about the amount to use, 1 or 2 drops per 10mls, 0.25% to 2%. I was going to make 10mls. Didn't want to go with drops because if I got to making larger bottles I wouldn't know what % to use. 0.5% in 10mls would be an amount smaller than I have any way to measure. In the end I gave up and decided to dilute some down, 1ml + 9ml of PG and it would be much easier. I'll do that tomorrow when I dig out a needle bottle to put it in.

When I was looking for hints on the amount to use I got on the BCF page. It had this

This product contains Acetoin: >=1% and <10%

This product contains Acetyl Propionyl: >=1% and <10%

All the other flavors I have with Acet whatever have been < 1%. Maybe that's OK since the flavor is going to be used close to 1/10th of the amount compared with other flavors. I don't worry much about those chemicals but the large % was a bit scary. The spread from 1% to 10% was a bit odd as well. Do they really not know by a factor of 10 how much is in there?

I like pods but I’m kind of picky on them. I don’t care for auto draw. I guess I’m to used to a fire button. I used my Minifit a lot til the Sceptre came along. Still use the mini but really like the Sceptre. Then hitt gifted me the PM40 and I’m still using it. The SX Mini is ok but I guess I was thinking it would be better.Lastly is an innokin eq I dug out. I have 6 pods for it if it doesn’t die first.

I really like the little fetch mini. I have a rba coil and some diy blueberry nik salt in it now.

He rubs many the wrong way. I agree with you though, I wouldn't pay to watch any reviews on YT. Info is freely available elsewhere.

He's just not brung up right like what I am

 

[charlie1465]

FWIW, I agree with what you posted B4 you nvm'ed it.

Pinchin' those , it's how I was taught.

What is this council??

I'm talking about the Euros (UEFA European Football Championship), @FranC. And, no, I don't follow it, but it's such a big deal that England has reached the final that it's come up in some television shows I watch. Lots of very excited people over there right now. They haven't won since 1966.

I detest football but this was slightly special. ..I usually support France mind you...

Hi all
Garden starting to look less like a disaster and take shape, I am a one man wrecking crew and I am good at wrecking stuff!!

By some miracle from the stars above, we we're able to score CEDAR fencing. We are hiring a company to install this though, I am not super human with super power of unlimited time and strength/energy.. it'll be nice to finally have some privacy, as we live on main Street and live right next to a busy bowling alley/ice cream shop.

That looks amazing!!

Don't follow it like I used to but tomorrow for sure. My old home team of Sunderland held a record for a long time of going up and down between the 1st and 2nd Divisions more than any other team. Almost every season was either a fight for promotion to the 1st Div or to avoid relegation down to the 2nd Div. Kind of stressful. Never got the hang of US sports.

Yup....I was reading a Bill Bryson book recently which had a lot of info from the time of the legendary Babe Ruth...plus lengthy explanations of how baseball works ....I still don't understand it

Need to read it again

Thanks for your reply.
It's not that I love the Berserker. It's just that I was vaping on it as I wrote, and I think it's perfectly fine, but not necessarily optimal.
And, no not GG but GP VapourArt and byLeo.
And, I'm impressed how you all keep spelling dwarv, dewarf, dwkarf whatever correctly each time.

Dvarw.... Dvarw..... Dvarw's.... you'll be seduced by the flavour. Ask @FranC

 

[charlie1465]

Well, you're the first person ever who I heard talking about curling. Except for a couple of girls I know who were referring to something on their heads.

Well they do use brushes

 

[charlie1465]

Taking break from mixing....then back to it....four mixed and counting. Seven is the goal....well you know....for my Dvarw's

I'm going to add some fruit to Fran's ice cream base too.

Morning.....have a good one

 

[FranC]

Good morning random folks Have you any plans today?

 

[FranC]

I have an EQ and some pods somewhere. I actually liked that one.

The EQ really does work decent. You should dig yours up and use them up.

I do love mine

No doubt you'll get many opinions. But, for me, you're cleaning too much. I've never separated the dropper tops parts (assuming I understood you right) to clean them. If they've got some juice scent, I just soak them in water for a couple of hours. If it's really strongly unpleasant, then in vodka for a couple of hours.

Nah, just started with glass bottles, so only cleaned them as they were dusty from the company who sent them. I intend to only use 2 flavors most of the time and they will be divided into equal bottles, so, cleaning won't be a problem..... Thank you, as I now know you are right, and am very pleased I don't have to clean them often.
