    Currently, it's orange and banana. Enjoying a couple of my recipes with those flavors.

    Can I add 2 more, please? Apricot and apple. And another two? Pineapple and mango. Game for another 2? :D

    A long while back, I got burnt out on strawberry and raspberry. Had to stop using both. Since I started using them again I keep their %'s pretty low. Same with lemon and peach flavors.

    For some reason I have never gotten burnt out on caramel, butterscotch, vanillas or creams.
    I’ve never burnt out on vanilla or cream. Maybe because they usually aren’t the main flavor.

    Somewhere between here and there
    I'm guilty of using the same fruits over and over. I did a ton of lemon for a long time. Then strawberry and raspberry would be my go to fruits. I have many and some that I don't think I've tried which is one more reason to go through my list and pick out flavors that I need to try. I did try Lychee a while back and liked that and loved the bumbleberry.

    I forgot that I have an apricot flavor now. I need to find a mix for it.
    Apricot works well with any of the following (or combos of) banana, coconut, lemon, any of the berries, oranges, apples, peach, nectarine, pineapple, cranberry. Creams, custards, ice cream, yogurt. Lot's of bakery stuff too (though IIRC you don't like bakery vapes???).

    Apricot would be good in a pudding or Fran's IC base too. Now that I have some bases ready to go I must try some apricot (and another fruit or two) in them.

    A pencil eraser can also be a very effective contact cleaner :)

    I got a pack of scraper pens. Someone promoted them here in the last year or so. Each one is made of a bundle of thin wires that screw out of the end of the pen. 4 types, steel, brass, fiberglass, and nylon I think. Long enough to reach down the bottom of a battery compartment. They're really good for loosening hard deposits, you still need to clean up with alcohol and a cloth or cotton bud afterwards.

    I can dig out a link if anyone is interested.

    @ShowMeTwice Did you mix my Jammy Croissant. It’s a light touch of flavor to your Croissant base and very good IMO.
    It looks good, I did save the screenshot from when you posted it. Haven't made it yet cuz I need to order SSA Cranberry Jam.

    Jammy Croissant
    SSA Cranberry Jam .07%
    FA Almond .5%
    TFA Pom 2 drops

    Since I’m not that familiar with it I will go with a single flavor. So 5% ?

    Reasonable. :) Although I don't usually use it solo.

    One of my "always loaded" mixes, in Zazie's blog (Honey Dragon Tea)), uses it at 4%, along with 4% each of Black Honey tobacco and green tea. Makes a nice, light vape with a little body. And also makes a nice "base" for the addition of a bit of other fruits. Nice for variations. :)

    The only flavors I have used continuously since I started are menthol (TFA Creme De Menthe) and fruit. Fruit is a mix of peach, papaya and mango. Maybe having multiple fruits together helps avoid burnout. Every other flavor I either dropped completely or take regular breaks from.

    What % did you use with the Bumbleberry. Been a long time since I’ve mixed with.

    Maybe I will designate 4% in SMT’s pudding 2.

    Hello everyone… No one told me just how dark it is inside the Sin Bin.. I saw unimaginable things I’ll never be able to unsee; the hula hoop contest was very strange because no one wears clothes in the Sin Bin. I still can’t believe Anna took 2nd place to Stevie Nicks. Yes, she was there!

    Guess what else? I got Brad Pitt’s autograph! He was in there and told me there is going to be a Fury II. I thought he died in the first one! Since he was naked I can see why Angelina left him.

    Seriously though, I want to apologize to everyone.. Especially to @classwife and @FranC . I know in the grand scheme of things, life and all, it’s not that big of a deal. However, the appreciation I have for both of you is not really expressed when I act in such a manner.

    To all my fellow Mrs. and Sir Mixalots… I came bearing a gift. My Coconut Cheese Shake (a play off cheesecake) turned out really good. If you don’t like coconut, keep reading…

    Cheesecake (Graham Crust) TFA 3%
    Super Sweet CAP .5%
    Toasted Coconut Cheesecake PUR 3%
    Vanilla Ice Cream LB 4%
    Yes, We Cheesecake INW 2%


    If you like coconut, TCC PUR is a must have.. By far the best coconut on the market in my opinion. The true star of the above mix though is the combo of Cheesecake Graham Crust, Vanilla Ice Cream LB, and Yes, We Cheesecake. This recipe was inspired by one I saw in a contest in another group. In it they used Strawberry Cheesecake instead of my Coconut… I think if you use any flavored Cheesecake as a substitute it will be good.. (Lemon Cheesecake SSA, Strawberry Cheesecake, etc).

    It is a very long steeper though, 4 to 6 weeks.

    It’s good to be back. Today is a good day.
    And the burning question is....did you continue to sin in the sin bin. Wait don't answer that....with Brad Pitts' in there I don't think I want to know :D
