Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

To me, FLV Wild Melon tastes like honeydew out front, combined with back notes of cantaloupe and watermelon. It's a good flavor. Some like it on its own.

And what exactly is a wild melon compared to a domesticated melon? IDK. I've never seen or been to a wild melon patch.

I've never seen a wild melon patch either.

No regrets on ordering more OOO Creamy Yogurt Cheesecake. Put the mix in a tank that I added a little raspberry to and IMO it’s really good.

What percent did you use for OOO Creamy Yogurt Cheesecake?

And you added only raspberry?

 

[FranC]

That sounds tasty. Fran, is the recipe in Zazie's blog?

I don't know. It's just a simple two flavor.....whoops three.

Grapefruit Yogurt
FW Yogurt 6%
FLV Pink Guava 1%
FA Grapefruit .75%

3% on the OOO. I added 4-5 drops of FA Raspberry. Very tasty.

 

[FranC]

I'll certainly be mixing more with the OOO. I have 30ml on the way.

Your package is on the way.

Y’all… can’t make this $&¥§ up…. It was 69* when I left to run errands. 71* as I was leaving the grocery. 71!! Y’all, people are in COATS here. I have on a long sleeve tshirt, and the checkout gal asked me if I was cold!

 

[ShowMeTwice]

So, are you folks all stocked up?

For gear, yes. Flavors, yes. Likely won't need any more flavors for a while. At least until someone here starts raving about one I don't have.

I'm still researching flavor companies not commonly used in DIY. Mostly for an emergency backup plan in case the powers that be ( ) ever start clamping down on our favorite DIY places. Hopefully it never comes to that.

Stocked up for what?

The Zombie Apocalypse. Word on the street is they have taken a liking to DIY flavors.

Not sure what made me buy that first 10ml bottle of the OOO but sure glad I did.

I like new things, but, there are not many newly launched products that are tempting.
What about you?

When I was a kid the Florida Turnpike had watermelon growing beside the road. I think wild melon is in reference to anything in the melon family growing outside of human cultivation.

I'm looking forward to getting the new Riva 200 for review soon.

I quite don't know what to do with grapefruit thinking about:
grapefruit-fa-4%
biscuit-jf-1%
vanilla custard-mb-1%
HELP!!!!

Consider dropping the FA Grapefruit to 2% - 2.5% to start. If that's not enough then you can easily add more. It is a bitter flavor!

FA grapefruit is the whole fruit. Complete with the realistic bitter edge, like the membrane between grapefruit sections. It is not sweet at all. To make it more palatable consider adding an orange to your mix (like 1% - 1.5%).

Consider bumping up the MB Vanilla Custard to 1.5%. That will help some in taking the edge off the bitterness of the grapefruit.

JF Biscuit is a sweeter buttery cookie with a touch of vanilla. I would bump that up to 1.5% - 1.75%. It will also help with the grapefruit.

IMO, bumping up the custard and biscuit won't make the mix grossly or overly sweet.

If you like grapefruit consider buying SSA Grapefruit. It is, IMO, the most realistic tasting grapefruit of the ones I've tried. The SSA is juicy and has more sweetness but in the way a ripe grapefruit does IRL. It's not a sickly sweet at all.

Good luck!

The same,Tor Nothing I want except maybe an interesting flavor if any come up.

When I lived in Boston I remember folks complaining about how hot it was one summer-- 79 degrees.

I bought myself a Christmas present. 9 different cups of cocoa. I figured I had to try one out so I picked the Fudge Brownie cocoa. Tasty.

Thank you. That looks good.

Yeah, the weather has really changed too much. We had way too many 90's this year. Way more than normal. Now, that's hot.
