    Onto the lt rum....since I had just started vaping my bottle(made 30ml) I took around 5ml and added an additional .50 %. A little difference but not much. So later I am going to add another .50% of lt rum and a .50% of Cap Golden Pineapple. Thought that may help the lt rum come out a little bit....we shall see.

    :)
    Let us know what you find on the lt rum:)

    You need to know what you are working with........

    :nun:

    eta and we haven't even gotten to the Jackfruit yet....Thought about putting that one on the wish list but.....I am not a glutton for punishment. LOL

    I mixed that Jackfruit 6 weeks ago now and I still can't quite work myself up to trying it :shock: A lot of the barfy smell has steeped out now but it still smells bad to me. The barfy smell carries over to the taste test too so.... things are not looking good.

    I think I can safely skip that one:lol:

    How long do you steep it? Please tell me the stench steeps out. Please :cry:

    The first time I tried it, I let it steep for two weeks. I made a bigger bottle after that and let it go about a week before using from it. I don’t think I smelled it like the concentrate did. I don’t think I have a really great sense of smell like some other people do.

    Sounds like it's a good thing your sniffer is off.

    So now I’m the guinea pig???? Might as well mix a tester of vt rum that day too. Sour milk/ rotten potatoes plus bbq sauce rum, yumm, uh no.... start mentally divvying up my vape gear in case it kills me :lol:. @Letitia gets to pick a DB first, and y’all don’t miss the box up in the corner marked provari. The rest of the mods and tanks are in their boxes in the drawers. Nic is in the freezer, clearly marked, you can’t miss it! Oh, and the mailbox... all new batteries on the way. I’ll miss y’all. But, someone had to do it.....o_O
    Much as I would like to have a DB for a work mod I'd still rather you hung around for awhile longer Mel. Besides I may need you to take a kitten.:D

    Morning,folks:) I don't have much of a plan today but I hope to try at least one more tester. I really want to get the Mascarpone cheese into a cheesecake mix but I'm fresh out of ideas for a new cheesecake.
    Have you tried a roasted pecan cheesecake with a touch of tobacco or whiskey?

    Hi @FranC thanks for asking hoping it's not too off topic all the time. Yesterday I did a full set of yoga in the AM and am GLAD I did. I have been in computer hell all day yesterday my computer was not even wiped let alone set up and most of yesterday was spent getting everything fixed. Swear to god all the IT staff gonna log their time "Helping the idiot Anna but it was NOT my fault I had to get it fixed, man I mean.... I can't work if nothing worked.

    I am going to be moved into a doctor's office and I am HEARTILY relieved because well, it's in the thick of the action and I will learn more, more quickly.

    I am totally petrified for my first "live" day but seriously, everyone says it's normal but I am FINALLY making up my sleep deficit (I hope) but it has not been cool at ALL I had a mini meltdown yesterday but otherwise, all good. I think. You know unless I get fired but I hope not.

    You act like you’ve never opened a container of spoiled milk before.

    Do ya'll have the urge to make someone else smell it, to share the misery? I always do. The husband has learned, "Hey honey come smell this" actually means, "I should not go over and smell it."

    I did get him on a few putrid flavors and that was super fun but now he has learned his lesson on THAT too. Sadness. :D

    Absolutely! I was thinking I could mail a bottle to one person on this thread and they could mail it to the next person and so on. Then everyone here gets a chance to smell it.

    Does it have butyric acid in it? If that’s the case, I can deal with that. I used it in the lab ( granted, undiluted in the fume hood).

    Having trouble thinking the Roasted Pecan and Cream into a cheesecake mix. I think the flavor is better suited to a cookie. It's been awhile since I've mixed with the pecan so I think a cookie is the better choice. So I'm going to work on a Roasted Pecan Cookie recipe.

    between here and there
    VTA has a different “nose” than everyone else apparently... the description from their site:”blueberry milkshake flavour that’s pleasantly creamy with an excellent aroma for e-liquid recipes.”
    Did they recommend a starting % ??
