    Just some misc parts. Insulators and spare tank sections (4ml and 2ml) for my Arise rta. It was DHL not my mailman. With the pandemic they all just ring the doorbell, leave the package and quickly split.
    At least they ring the bell.

    Good morning :) it's a rainy, very windy and cold day and now it's a day off. Glad we weren't out on the lake yesterday with gale force winds and 11-13 foot waves, with potential 20 footers. It's hard for me to even fathom a 20 foot wave.
    I need to clean some tanks, and mix up something.

    Wow, 20 footers don't sound safe at all. Glad you stayed docked..

    Okay, all this chatter about icream and pudding and custard bases has gotten to me. I broke down and bought the ingredients for Fran's ice cream base, except BCF didn't have HA French vanilla ice cream, so at least for now, I subbed VT. Don't hate on me too much. I'm also going to try a Jagerbomb recipe. I didn't really like any of the ones in ELR, so I'm going to try my own. Here's my BCF order. I'm hoping it'll be here by the time I'm back next week, because I'm going to be doing some major mixing then.

    Nice order. The VT ice creams are really good. I used the regular VT Vanilla Ice Cream as a sub for the HA in the ice cream base and like it a lot. VT French Vanilla Ice Cream should be just fine.

    I bought HA French Vanilla Ice Cream from DIY Vapor Supply. Think they're the only ones who carry it. Next time I make IC base I'll use the HA.

    My American Weigh Scales LB-501 can measure down to 0.01g. For me it's very useful when I only want to mix a 5ml or 10ml tester.

    If Fran's scale goes down to 0.01g and she mixes 15mls, 0.07% would be 0.01 grams.



    In a 15ml mix 0.07 grams is 0.45% :)

    Fran and I have the same scale. Even though it goes to .01, it doesn't usually read until I hit .05-.08.

    That’s where I got mine also. The VT is good and will be ok in the ice cream but IMO, the Hangsen is better.

    Good afternoon...

    I am going to smoke some baby back ribs for the family and make some avocado toast for me. I need to get back down to 180.

    Me too. I got up to about 195 and that's a bit too heavy for me.

    I bought the pecans and cream because it was on sale, but I just might try it with the ice cream.

    Just my opinions. :)

    The FA is the most realistic, it's a ripe juicy apricot. FLV leans sweeter and is almost like a baked apricot. SSA tastes like a fresh apricot but is different compared to FA. I want to say it's not as ripe as FA.

    The SSA is not as strong as the FA is. I use FA at 0.75%-2% in a mix. The SSA needs to start at 1.5%-2%. I've used the FLV between 1%-2%.

    If you are happy with FA Apricot you probably don't need the other two. A tiny amount of FA Liquid Amber would give you a baked apricot and add a little sweetness to FA apricot.

    At some point I want to try the FA and the SSA together to see if they will make a bolder apricot.

    Thank you so much.
    Marking the day on my calendar - it's a miracle, one time SMT isn't leading me down the path to order additional flavors!

    They win, cool / they don't, it's ok / there will always be another game and another season.

    I call it being prepared. For me that's better than bases empty with the team mascot stepping up to bat.

    I predict the Dolphins will lose this weekend. We've been rebuilding since 1998 and I have a feeling we are getting close.
