Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

I don't think it's the dimensions or size that causes "little handed" people problems. It's bottle placement.

I feel kind of bad talking about Fran's little hands. In all honesty I just assumed they were small.

I guess you’d say I have average size hands .

1-2 cups with how strong I make it (Euro Strong) is plenty.

We use a couple coffee makers. One for my little Lady and I, cuz we like our coffee strong and very BOLD (black, no sugar or creme). The other one is for the younger ones who like their coffee weak (like flavored water ).

My next mix is a BlackBerry Creamy Custard. Gonna drip a little while I decide what to do. I found an extra mix in my drawer that was misplaced so my divider is still full.

I'm keeping a 50ml bottle of your creamy custard on hand to mix with stuff. I really like it with cookie premium and inw raspberry.

Well,I was more successful dripping today than I ever have been. Maybe I’ll actually have a use for that Recurve V2 I have coming.

That reminds me that I need to dig out a Dead Rabbit 3 rda to test the new cap flavors. I might just try to do that tonight.

As a lefty, when I first started squonking, it took me a minute to get comfortable squonking in the world of mostly right handed squonk mods.

@CapeTownCloudChaser, here are a few of the resources I use for DIY. Perhaps you will find them useful.

The Flavor Bible. I have the softcover book and the ebook. It is the most comprehensive guide that I know of regarding flavor pairings. For example it will tell you all the flavors that are known to work with Strawberry. TFB is extensive in scope. Nearly every time I create a recipe the Flavor Bible sees use. There is likely an online copy to be found on the interwebz.

How to Pair Flavors: A Comprehensive Flavor Pairing Guide A decent web page that has sound pairing information.

FONA International has some excellent information that can be applied to DIY. They are one of the largest flavor companies on the planet. Their Insights section has many useful tidbits. Each insight can be downloaded as a PDF file. Insights

The Bakers Almanac has an excellent fruit flavor pairing page. The Ultimate Fruit Flavor Pairing Chart

From the Tasting Table: How to Pair Flavors Together

From FBN: Mastering the art of flavor matchmaking

Personally, I view creating good DIY mixes as no different than creating decent dishes in real life. Obviously there are differences between real life pairings versus DIY. It's not always a 1:1. However the science is exactly the same. Some companies in the food and beverage industries are using the same flavors as we are in DIY.

@ShowMeTwice ivwould love to meet you personally. You are a great leader and have a wealth of knowledge. Again thanks for sharing it with a random person over the internet, I hope one day I will hve such knowledge and can only hope to help others in the future.

Now I knew that food and diy were related but not on such an extremity. I will definitely pick up some of these books!

I feel that with this knowledge that I now have acquired I need to start rethinking flavors and how they combine with each other from day to day meals. This has opened a whole new way of thinking to me, that I knew existed but never really put much emphasis on.

I wish I could like a post more than once, because you deserve them all.

Much respect,
CTCC

Glad you like the Creamy Custard

Some people were just born with them.

Here are three variations along with many tips in the comments section.

I'll pass.

Damn you, now I have to try it. I will experiment version 1 and 3.

Oop, it's called a "Bath & Tidy" LOL

Your name is better.

LOL. I thought so too.

The wife tried to get ME in for a Fluff & Buff too but that said animals only.

You're welcome Mate! I'm confident you will be making some good juices soon.

When I started with DIY it took me some time before I was making juices that were truly enjoyable. There were plenty of failed attempts in the process (still are from time to time ).

@CapeTownCloudChaser, are you a member at the Ecigssa forum in S Africa?

Reason I ask is they also have a good DIY section. Maybe have a look and see what you think.

You can probably outrun her now with the new knee.

Hello in here! LOL I started having mass anxiety because I wanted to quit vaping. It's not gonna happen. I now know why I vape. If I die it will be anxiety free.
Had the 4th covid vaccine today. I'm having a few side effects. The major one so far is feeling like I'm in antarctic without clothes on. I'm bundled up and no relief.

I'm vaping an ocean spray mix and thought maybe some vanilla lime would spruce it up. It didn't!!!!!

When I die I have two last wishes:
1. I want my remains scattered around Disney World.
2. I don't want to be cremated.

I like the options of a RDTA. It can be a tank or a dripper. My Kumo was a dripper most of the day and now it’s a tank.
