Random DIY mixing and More

I’m going to stick with the bunny ear method on my Dvarws. My first attempt is a big success.

BTW, do you like the gooseberry?

Getting there. Right now I have 6% FE Gooseberry with 1% MM and 2% sweet cream. Nice vape. For some reason I don't understand once in a while I get a strong gooseberry flavor, most of the time it's a pleasant fruity flavor but not so obviously gooseberry. GB is a naturally bitter fruit and that was too much for me, the MM tones it down just the right amount for me.

Originally I tried it at everything from 0.5% to 8% hoping to find the right level. Only reason I have it at 6% now is I had a bottle of 6% sitting around so I added MM to that. Probably try different %s again. It's a strong enough flavor that it should take well to some graham cracker or other additions.

When I got the flavor from FJ they only sold it in small sample size bottles. Next order I'll ask them to consider doing larger bottles.

My plans are to go to bed, and when I get up to immediately go find some vape juice to buy. My Sceptre is almost empty and my mail order doesn't get here until Moday. I finished what I bought last week - it almost made it!

Been there. When I first started buying juice on-line I kept forgetting to order more. My local store had a big wicker basket full of out of date or discontinued juice at $1 a bottle. I got some good juice that way, and one memorably gross bottle.

I have 30ml bottles and I think they came from FJ but not sure.

Mornin . . .

Finally slept in (only got up once) . . . But still tired, . . . So no plans for the rest of the day, besides surfing ECF every so often, binge watching TV , and finding something to eat . . . . May even throw a nap in too, so I can be rested enough to make it to my 3 doctor's appointments this Tuesday & 1 on Wednesday . . .

I did my taxes yesterday…

I just got my return from last year. Sheesh! Now it is time again.

I finished up a couple shows I had recorded on the dvr. Now it’s time to get up and get moving.

I'm up, having coffee. I got the idea to pull out my Uwell G2 and lo and behold it had some juice in it so I should be good until I go out. 3 shops near me that might have juice.

There is an RBA head for the STM. It's easy to coil and wick. I don't know if any can still be found though.

I have one or two, but been lazy purchasing stock coils. And IIRC the RBA is pretty small to work with. But most others probably are too.

Would these work? I have a bunch of you’re interested.

What ohms are those?

I am vaping my new mix. What I thought would be a berry cake turned out more like a real life Berry Muffin. That was a pleasant surprise. It is tasty!

Blackberry Muffin

FLV Blackberry 0.7%
FA Raspberry 0.4%
FW White Cake 2.5%
FA Cookie 0.6%
WF Frozen Yogurt 1.5%
VTA Vanilla Cream 1.3%

FLV Blackberry and FA Raspberry pair well together in a mix. The percents are low and for good reason. Both are more highly concentrated flavors and I knew if much more than 1% combined was used that they would overpower the bakery notes (I did not want that).

FLV Blackberry is just an awesome berry flavor. FA Raspberry is here to compliment the blackberry and to add a touch of tartness to the overall berry profile.

The berry flavor in this mix shines through as it would in an actual Berry Muffin. The berry profile is light but it is front and center compared to the muffin itself.

FW White Cake provides the yummy insides of a muffin. FA Cookie delivers the crust element of a muffin and adds texture. I am very impressed with how these two work with each other in mixes.

WF Frozen Yogurt. I need to get this out of the way first; it is not a yogurt flavor whatsoever. There is no yogurt in it. It is however an excellent cream flavor. VTA Vanilla Cream brings a light vanilla note and fine creaminess. Combined they deliver a very pleasing creaminess and mouthfeel.

Don't let the percentages fool you. This mix serves up flavor!

I'm very happy with how this turned out and will be making a larger batch.

@Zazie, can you please add this to your blog? Ty

ETA: The level of sweetness is ~5 (1 being near zero sweetness and 10 being sickly sweet).

ETA2: Steep time: 30 days for anything over 15mls. 15mls or less 12-20 days.

I believe they are .5 but I’ll double check

I should have said "I use high ohm vapes" to save you the trouble of looking. Thank you though, very kind, but I'll pass.

I usually get up around 1.0 ohms or 1.2. Saves battery, and I don't need clouds.

The STM RBA decks are smaller than any of my other RBA's. Just about all the current dedicated RTA decks are larger and easier to work with.

I went downstairs anyway to workout so looked and they are a .5 resistance. I think there are about 150 and there are a couple toptanks in with them that I think are clones. Too bad they won’t work for you. I think they are lonely down there.

Maybe someone else is interested.
