Random DIY mixing and More

[Koolkiz]

I use a heavy mod when I build a coil. I try to go for .75 and above. I haven't built a coil since I bought a few rbas for the nautilus prime x. I still have a ton of stuff to open/figure out in the future. I plan on building a ton of coils for the winter. Hoping they will last/be good enough to carry me though next year.

I'm going on 4 hours of sleep and have to finish the last ever episode of "Lucifer".
I should be mixing..

P.S. Late night rambles.

P.S.S had to buy a new stethoscope since my old piece of crap broke. Yes, how does a stethoscope break?

That is probably what I will be doing as a stopgap. But I would prefer something that would be a bit more stable when building. Something I wouldn't be worried about toppling over when I put in a coil or rewick.

Geekvape makes a tab that was on sale cheap somewhere recently. I trust their products.

So it seems my Coilmaster Tab Ohm meter is busted. The ohms keep jumping around and/or not even reading at all. Does anyone know of a good alternative ohm reader/build stand thingy?

That's the one I have. I used it for a while when I first got it--new toy--but then went back to using my mods to check the resistance. I'm sure there are plenty of new good ones out there, but I have no recommendations myself.

I would love to find a good milk tea recipe though using a black tea.

I vape black tea as I like to drink it--milk and no sugar. But since black tea is a strong flavor, I always add a touch of something sweet and creamy to my vapes to tame it.

I like FA Black Tea the best. My go-tos:
1.5-2% FA Black Tea
1% Fresh Cream
or
1.5-2% FA Black Tea
0.5% Vienna
0.5% Fresh Cream (or any combination of your favorite creams up to 1%--I use FA only)

If you like black tea with honey, try
1.5% Black Tea
0.5% of 10% FA Honey solution*
and/or optional 0.5% White Peach or Pear

If you like Earl Grey (all FA flavors):
0.3% Bergamot,
2-2.5% Black Tea,
0.5% Creme Fresh
0.5% Vienna Cream

* "I suggest making a small bottle of 10% FA Honey to use as your flavoring bottle. Using 1% from that bottle gives you 0.1% flavoring - which is a light 'spoonful' of honey flavor in a recipe."

I wonder what that .3% would do.

So do I.

ETA: From your link: "FE Green Tea is extremely potent. Keeping it under .5% lends a light earthiness to the mix, emulating the light tea flavor in actual boba milk teas."

Is it too late to warn @ShowMeTwice ?

Back to football! Er, Vaping!

What a game! I've never seen an overtime win quite like that one.

Go (Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland-Las Vegas) Raiders!

I for one will not miss the drama. Hopefully we won’t inherit another one like that.

I do a good Shakespeare..

"(takes the skull) Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath borne me on his back a thousand times, and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it"

 

[JCinFLA]

ETA I see the one I have they stopped making, 521 tab, lol yeah, it's been years but still works like the day I bought it. @JCinFLA know of any deals?

Well, as a matter of fact....I do. Will PM @Redbird11 later this morning about it.

 

[charlie1465]

No, I didn’t try that . But if your stuck with 1,2 and 3 how can you make a decent recipe?

I see it as just a ratio so I often increase the quantities in that same ratio.
That's how is see them anyway.

 

[charlie1465]

Thanks, but the mini is the one I have that just broke. I would probably want to go with something different for my next one.

Why did it break....did you drop it or something??
Mine has stopped working a couple of times and I found that the battery contacts had become compressed and needed bending out a bit again....then right as rain

 

[Katya]

That is probably what I will be doing as a stopgap. But I would prefer something that would be a bit more stable when building. Something I wouldn't be worried about toppling over when I put in a coil or rewick.

Why don't you just use your coilmaster as a stand for building and quickly check your resistance on your mod?

Morning everyone

A few scrambled ideas floating around my brain which I must try. My 100ml bottle of Vicious Vanilla is nearly ready......I love that recipe.

Just a quick update on Fran's ice cream base with the Alpine strawberry and Meringue. After 2 weeks since the addition the Alpine strawberry has mellowed nicely and the ice-cream is coming through much more. I really like it! It seems a bit like the mango in that it starts off really bright and then gradually becomes riper tasting with time... interesting perhaps?

Have a good day all

 

[charlie1465]

Well, as a matter of fact....I do. Will PM @Redbird11 later this morning about it.

Is this only in the US?? If not can you PM me too please??

0.5% FA Honey. I know you meant dip toothpick in Honey, let drops fall back in bottle, insert toothpick in mix for a couple seconds.

Hi, Mixers!

 

[ShowMeTwice]

So do I.

Is it too late to warn @ShowMeTwice ?

It’s not too late. I was thinking about that 0.3% after I posted. Figured there must be a reason. Looked at that recipe again.

I’m going to go with 0.3%. Fingers crossed this green tea is a winner.

0.5% FA Honey. I know you meant dip toothpick dip Honey, let drops fall back in bottle, insert toothpick in mix for a couple seconds.

I have literally done this with FA honey. It doesn't take much.

That reminded me of these two big Shakespeare books I bought my oldest when she was in college. I think they explained the meaning of the phrases. They were big thick books.

 

[hittman]

Good morning mixers. Must have been some kind of dream I was having. Woke up disoriented and one eye watering. Either that or there was a lot of pollen when I mowed last night.

Nope, I didn't drop it. It just started acting up. The ohm readings just started going all over the place.
