Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Morning Fran and all.

Fairly productive day. Still cold at night but low 60's in the day for the foreseeable future....hoping temps don't take a plunge before spring proper.

I've got 120mls of pudding base ready and vaccilating as to which flavours to add. It's always easy to go for the sure thing but feel like living dangerously whilst not rendering it un-vapeable. Maybe some Mango, Blackberry, Blackcurrant and definitely a Spéculoos. I'm not sure what to go with.

Getting dark here and temps dropping....cosy in though.

Just after noon here. What are you using for your pudding base?

It's SMT's base except I've changed the vanilla to SSA cream extra.

Yeah, I like creams too.

I was watching tv before going to sleep last night and they are running these new anti vaping commercials that say vaping causes anxiety and depression. I’ve never thought that. I guess there might be some anxiety from waiting for orders to arrive but not from just vaping.

They have no idea what they're talking about. It's well known that mental health patients use tobacco at a higher rate than the general population, mainly because of the effects of nicotine. I vape because of my anxiety and depression.

I've been vaping the base on its own a bit but it wants something else. Good base actually!!

Yes ....and don't get me started on the heavy metals thing. Old lead pipes, chemical spills leaching into groundwater, car pollution etc, etc....damn I've started

The base 2 is pretty good. Don’t care for #1.

What chu talkin' ' bout Lewis.???????
I never went no nic. I had to stop vapeing completely for several days during covid but no plans to ever go less than the 3 mg I'm doing now.

I think I caused the confusion by making a joke about missing nicotine when an item in one of your to-do lists read "vape coffee."

It’s everywhere, Charlie.

What nonsense.

That could be.

I filled a tank with this orange cream cake that I mixed a week or two ago and can barely taste the orange. I'm surprised as it uses 2% FA mandarin. I also forgot that it had tfa cheesecake in it so most likely didn't let it steep long enough but thought I'd taste the orange more.

Throw in some INW Shisha Orange. That always does the trick for me.

 

[FranC]

What nonsense.

That rich a hole has nothing better to do with his money than attack vaping.

Yes joke abound about Texas drivers Ice............but never heard of roads closed for less than a foot. Gotta remember snow plows are not plentiful down here .........many counties do not even have one much less enough to clear the roads.

I'm guessing snow or even all-weather tires aren't the norm, either.

I think this is 2 but I liked 1 as well.

Tread is sufficient for rain....mind you slicks would be fine in the summer here.... if it wasn't illegal.

No, snowy weather only happens once every year or two. Not worth the extra expense. What really shuts things down here and is a lot more dangerous than snow, is the black ice. You can't see it and can be driving along confidently and hit a patch of that...next thing you you know, you're in the ditch. People will drive like idiots, going like bats out of hell, hit a patch of black ice, and take out several innocent drivers along with them in their trip to the ditch.

Same thing happens here.

Black ice was rare where I was as a kid but my Mum hit some when we were going to the ice rink one weekend. Couldn't see it but came up behind a Mini going really slowly. A car behind overtook and gracefully span around and ended up in the ditch on the other side of the road. We hit a telegraph pole and wrote off the car.....Mini was ok and so were we thankfully. The car in the ditch didn't have a scratch. Kind of weird that we were going ice skating

Probably weird that you did your ice skating on the highway.
