Would you be surprised if I said it was all @Butch 's fault?
and naturally we ran with it :)
No, I wouldn't be surprised at all. :D

Besides, Butch is really a big kid wrapped up in a geezer disguise. Albeit, one who vapes and guzzles lotsa coffee. :lol:

    I'm vaping my fig cookie mix today. It is tasty. And yummy.

    EssEmTee Fig Cookies and Milk

    FA Vanilla Cookie 1.5%
    FA Milk 0.75%
    FA Fig 0.5%
    VTA Fig 0.25%
    FA Blood Orange 0.25%

    Suggested steep time = 3 weeks (30ml). If making 10ml or 15ml you can get by with a week to ten days. I tried some after 3 days and it was good, but it is better with a solid steep.

    FA Vanilla Cookie is excellent in every mix I've used it in. FA Milk is, well, just awesome. The FA and VTA figs combined are very convincing. FA Blood Orange helps to brighten the figs and offers a wee bit of zest.

    Don't let the low % on the FA blood orange fool you. It does exactly what I intended it to do, brighten. My first mix without the orange was good but it lacked something. It is much better with the help of the orange. You will get a very slight orange note on the back end. To enhance that, increase the orange by 0.25%. Orange and fig work well together IRL.

    The combination of the milk and blood orange bring juiciness to the mix. It would be a dry vape without them. FA blood orange is fade resistant.

    If you want more fig, then increase each in 0.25%-0.5% increments, but keep the ratio. The cookie could be pushed to 2% and the milk to 1%. Orange should then be bumped up to 0.5%. If you desire more orange flavor then increase it to 0.75%.

    @Zazie, can you please add this to your Blog? Thank you. :)


    ETA: The sweetness is about mid level. ;)
    I've never vaped a fig flavor.Taste?

    I got my lawn mowed and called the leasing office to have that stupid tree that is growing right up the side of the house removed. I got the mower tangled in it. It can't be good for the foundation growing that close to the building anyways. I thought it was just a pesky weed when I first moved in, but it has grown!

    That's what I got. I like the bigger screen and having the number keys on the side.
    My current laptop doesn't have the numeric pad, but all my other 15 inch laptops have had them. I just need at least a 15 inch screen for one particular program. Anything smaller and the program display is really screwed up.

    I've never vaped a fig flavor.Taste?
    Hard for me to describe, but, a fresh fig is kind of like a raisin with a hint of a berry like taste. And there is a near liqueur like note. There is a mid level sweetness but that can be made lower with the addition of a little lemon. Or a zesty orange. Both orange and lemon work well with figs IRL. Either of those will add zest and juiciness to any fig mix. Those will also brighten the fig in a mix.

    FA Fig is more like a fresh fig.

    VTA Fig is more like a dried fig.

    If someone only wanted to try one of the figs, I would recommend the FA Fig. It is fairly accurate to a fresh fig irl.

    IRL the only fig I'm familiar with are fig cookies.

    The last time I got my teeth cleaned, I had a new hygienist since my old one quit to stay home with a new baby. The new one and I talked and she asked if I used tobacco and I said that I vaped and she asked if I wanted to quit and that they could prescribe some medicine. I said thank you but no. This time when I went this morning she asked if I was still using "tobacco products". I said I still vape. She said that when she was in school that they told them that there is arsenic in vaping liquids. I really didn't feel like getting into a long conversation about it but I said that there might have been some found in sub par liquids a long time ago but I don't buy commercial liquids and mix my own so I know exactly what's in them and there's no arsenic. She acted surprised and said she didn't know you could make your own. It never ceases to amaze me what false information is put out there.
