Random DIY mixing and More

[NolaMel]

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.

Try marzipan with the fig in a recipe. They go together beautifully!

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.

There are several different anti vaping billboards up around here. Those have been going up for about a year or so. One features a half normal face (before vaping) and the other half is a skeleton (dead from vaping ). Seriously! I was going to snap photos of the ones I've seen and post them in a new thread. I decided not to. Figured it would only tick folks off more than they already are.

It amazes me some of the crap that people believe.

Misinformation. It's the name of the game these days. One only needs to look at the Big Lie for proof. Funny thing, not so funny actually, is peeps believe all this crap. From the anti vaxxers to the absurd in other walks of life. I saw something the other day where 53% of people in the USA only get their news from posts on social media websites. Talk about seriously dumb, and gullible, people.

Gullible I'm no part of.

I will try that. Like what? 0.25%-0.5%?

Thanks

Finally I can relax, it took many many months before I got hold of those chambers, I needed one, but after all the stress of getting hold of them, I just as well bought three pieces. Next time Øsa pulls me over the edge, at least I have someone in reserve!
Bought some relatively rare drip tips as well. Alexander from SvoeMesto was very helpful and found three [lite] SE drip tips in Nite DLC, I paid for one though.

Very nice, Charlie

Well thanks....but not my choice of colours....I'm a plain black or stainless steel guy usually. I'm definitely going to get a couple more though....very good mod and tank

 

[charlie1465]

Is that some limited edition version of the Coolfire? I like the look.

It's one of the limited edition wins for the Euro 21 soccer. French flag.....but I don't like it that much....bit gaudy imo.

I agree with you on colors but it was a win wasn't it?

Enjoy all the pieces and parts.

As another child of '57, I'm comfortable with geezer status and have the white highlights to show for it, I'm just not an old geezer yet!

'57 baby, when the cars had fins That Tortie is a beauty BTW

I figured it was about time to leave the forest for a bit. I'd rather not, but there are things I need to do around the house.

I so wish I was sitting in that picture right now (I could easily just sit there meditating for hours)

Yup

Not much, it’s kind of not pleasant when over- flavored. I use torrone more. It has a little citrus zest vibe in the back note.

That goes double if it has Bloomberg's name on it anywhere.
