    I hope you’re doing better today. I’m trying the strawberry custard recipe. There’s something off in it. I keep getting this odd taste like the peel of a fruit or something. I simply love the raspberry one so thought I’d like this one too. I might try a different strawberry.
    That reminds me that my version of Raspberry Custard will be 1 month steeped tomorrow.

    Good morning random folks :) Have you any plans today?

    Good morning all.

    I mixed a few bottles early this morning and I'm trying a few out in a dripper I just rewicked. They all need to steep but I always try a little right away.
    I did sfts of Capella Churro at 3.5% and CNV Donut at 5%. Churro is a little strong, Donut is ok.
    Mixed @YoursTruli 's alternate to Mother's Milk which I dubbed Truli Better Than Mother's Milk.
    Trying a Flakey Pie Crust with the two Croissants and FA Apple Pie, I mixed 60 mls of it to try a few times and then add a fruit to after it steeps.
    Also redid an apple pie mix using the Croissants crust, but I switched the amounts on the Croissants by accident, no idea what that will do. That was a bigger bottle... I'm sure it will still vape fine, haven't tried it yet but about to.
    Bottle of Freckled Lemonade for a friend and one for myself.

    I’d say you’ve been busy :)

    This is what I have for an apple pie recipe currently, still a work in progress, and keep in mind I did flub this mix by switching the Croissants. This is the 5th version now over a few months. I'm getting closer...

    The Pie⁵ -
    0.30% Apple Filling FLV
    2.5% Apple Pie CAP
    1% Apple Pie FA
    1.75% Croissant WF
    2.5% Croissant VTA
    0.35% Fuji Apple CAP
    1% VBIC CAP

    I’m still vaping the Chocolate Joe with Cappuccino. Thinking I may make another change of two to the recipe.
    I always thought it needed more chocolate flavor to really be a chocolate coffee, just a bit. But that was with the Espresso which probably covered the chocolate to some point. FA Cappucino is in my last order from this weekend, I'll be trying it out.

    We have the same thought. I feel that the chocolate is lacking, even with the cappuccino.

    hmmm...
    I had a 100ml bottle of Vanilla Custard I had mixed that was a bit blah.
    So I just added ONLY 2 drops of Cap Raspberry.
    Well...all I can say is that this is gonna get sucked down quickly !
    FINALLY - a Raspberry that doesn't get used up in drinking tea !

    I really like Chocolate Mousse.
    VTA Chocolate Mousse? That is one I have actually, I don't tend to use it in many mixes though because I really taste the mousse part more than the Chocolate. It's good to me and realistic. I also have VTA Choc Custard I think.

    Morning Mixologists!

    As promised the 3 yr old came over yesterday but wouldn't stay, when her father left she left as she got scared or something. Very strange. She is spoiled at home beyond belief and here she is not and I think that is why she doesn't want to stay.

    Happy Labor Day!

    You don't care for Inawera Raspberry? I've been using it quite a bit lately. Only other I've tried is Purilum which was nice but not strong enough for me.

    I think Inawera is one I have not purchased through the years.
    They have all ended up with a funky taste to me.
    I keep the Cap around since I like it added to Sweet Tea (to drink).
    I was gonna toss this bottle of vanilla custard since it was so blah but just 2 measly drops of it made it a delightful bottle.

    When I have bought smaller bottles from 3rd party flavor retailers, they always came rebottled with their own sticker on the bottle. The manufacturers only sell in larger bottles. I've only bought from 3 flavor vendors so far and all were rebottled.
    Not always. Some rebottle. Others do sell flavors in the mfr's bottle. All depends who one is buying from.

    Not all manufacturers sell in larger bottles. For example; FA and INW sell their flavors in 10 ml bottles. FLV, when they used to sell direct, sold in 15ml bottles. Medicine Flower sells direct in 15ml glass bottles. :)

    good morning folks,
    not the big plans for today, we will have a longer trip with Øsa today.
    I have made a list of ingredients I will use today, it is the great pudding base day.

    That's a really nice looking mod. I'm with DPLongo22 in hoping Innokin makes a SbS someday. Innokin makes some really nice mods.
    They are good at design, and sometimes also innovative, their Coolfire is my most used mod, in ash gray because it is very comfortable.
    I'm a little unsure what I would like to see in an SBS, it's far between something special, College, DaniSBS, AmbitionMods, MaskMonkey are about the only ones I felt were special, of them only DaniSBS I have.
    I would have liked to see manufacturers were a little more creative in material as well as the color choices, as far as I know there is no SBS in pure aluminum or stainless, and I have not really seen a white one either.

    The VT chocolate custard is one of my favorites.
