Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Morning, mixers.

A balmy 29 atm, heading back to 40. Still dry!

Yes, for years I smoked the same thing. Actually not a lot of choices. Much prefer vaping. I have a dozen going, all different flavors. Choice is good.

I much prefer vaping also. I’m close but not up to a dozen yet.

Mine was Kent 100s

My Mom smoked Kent also. I lost her to a heart attack when I was 17.

My notes are back home but I did bring a new one with me to test.

Currently it's a cream base only. I may tweak it some. Next I will be adding bakery / dessert flavoring(s). TBD as to which one(s).

It has the following flavors. I'm going from memory on the %'s used cuz no notes are with me.

FA Fresh Cream 1%
WF Bavarian Cream 1.5%
SSA Madagascar Vanilla 1%
FA Marshmallow 0.75%

vaping it now in a MTL RTA... It's nice and creamy. No single flavor is out front. That is exactly what I wanted, a rich creamy base. Has a very pleasant mouthfeel. It will be good with any fruit(s), bakery, dessert or coffee flavors.

@Zazie can add that as a cream base?

Bunn(y) story of another kind...

What happens when you let a couple German Shepherds outside and they immediately spot a rabbit about 12 meters out?

Chase on, capture, snack time.

Yep, that happened this morning when I let them out. Carli dog loves her some wabbit as does our friends GSD!

I know that everyone's tastes are different. I dislike any vape with spearmint but I do love menthol and natural mint flavors. For months, I vaped a Creme de Menthe mix that was first cooked up by @Sgt.Rock, who I don't think is still on the forum. His version was high in both Creme de Menthe and Sweet Cream, both TFA. I fiddled with it and came up with something I really liked.

One of Sgt.Rock's original versions:
Creme de Menthe (TPA) 7%
Sweet Cream (TPA) 8%
Koolada 10% (TPA) 2%
Menthol (TPA) 2%
Toasted Marshmallow (TPA) 1.5%

He reworked the recipe often and some versions were even higher than the 20.5% flavoring in this version. This is my version. I find TFA Sweet Cream to taste a bit cheesy at higher %s. There are others, FLV, VTA, etc. that would work but I just changed it to Whipped Cream and liked it that way.
Creme de Menthe (TPA) 6%
Whipped Cream (TPA) 5% (FA Whipped Cream was perfect until we couldn't get it anymore in the US)
Koolada 10% (TPA) 1% or WS-23 30% solution .75%
10% Menthol Solution 2%
Marshmallow (TPA) 1%

I don't care for FLV's Creme de Menthe because of the chocolate and coffee notes. TFA and FW both do a more authentic Creme de Menthe.

My Favorite

@Zazie can add that as a cream base?

Oh yes, certainly. I edited my post and gave it a super fancy name.

@Zazie can you add that to your Blog? TIA

OMG just checked the weather and it’s -10.

Currently -21°.

Winter.

Spring is on the way!

I have a recipe I called Blue Cheese with a whole 7 flavors. It’s something I reworked I think. I’m anxious to try this one.

You can have all that cold weather. I no longer enjoy dressing for the cold if I ever did.

Any decent sub for Madagascar Vanilla?

 

[FranC]

Just looking through my mixed recipes and at this time more than half are fully steeped. Bout time.

I can see that mixing different strengths would be a major pain. I don’t envy you.

I was doing 12mg then started getting more and more sub ohm stuff for reviews a year or so ago so started mixing 3mg and 6mg for review stuff. The 6mg stuck for a while but felt like I needed more so went up to 9mg on some stuff. Anything much over 35 watts is hard for me to vape anything above 6mg.

Any new recipes you’re liking?

I'm really liking one I found on elr called Arson Milk.

I smoked for 56 years guessing here but about 45 of those 56 was smoking just one brand of stinkies.

I had about 23 years smoking when I started vaping. The first I had was the Viceroys my dad smoked. From there I went to Marlboro lights and then in the army I started smoking Newports that my roommate got me started on. After that it was Camel menthol. When cigarettes got really expensive I tried switching to a cheaper brand and found myself smoking 1.5 packs a day instead of 1. It was around that time that I found out about ecigs in 2009 and placed my first order for a couple 510 cigalikes.

Getting a bit peeved with HC who hasen’t shipped yet. The weird tracking no. in their packaged email doesn’t track either.

I had a follow up for my VNS study appointment that took me all afternoon. It's an hour drive away just to answer a bunch of questions about how I'm doing. Same questions, over and over again. I'm supposed to be getting paid for these visits, but I haven't gotten any money in a while. The study coordinator is going to check into that for me, so I should be getting some extra money soon. Yay! I could buy vape gear with it, but there's nothing I really need ATM. I think I'll put it into savings for a vacation fund. My mom wants to buy an RV as soon as she sells the old house (not the one she's living in), then we're going to take a trip to the Grand Canyon.

Study payments are generally at set points during the study. The final payment is after all cohorts/patients have completed their participation. The study coordinator can find the schedule in the IB, if it’s not at the end of your informed consent.

Gotcha!

It was a toss up between Simple Cream Base or Generic Cream Base.

I flipped a coin, tails SCB, heads GCB... tails it was!
