    Good morning mixers. Happy Friday! I’m hoping to come home to a new fridge installed.

    I desperately need to work on reviews. Not feeling well has put me behind. Just haven’t felt like writing.
    It’s not your fault if you don’t feel well.

    I’m liking my new chocolate mix so far and will probably post it later. The chocolate really blends into the mix so it really doesn’t come across as a chocolate mix. Might as well post it I guess.

    @Zazie with much thanks :) @NolaMel

    Good to see you here! Lots to learn. I used syringes for about 5 minutes, tried to draw PG and said forget it and bought a scale and never looked back. If you go to https://..................../ they have a feature where you put in what flavors you have and it suggests recipes. Have fun!

    That link is to eliquid-recipes.com
    I appreciate your suggestion. I actually used that very link to come up with the first mix I just made. Took a few hits about 2hrs after I blended... I'm fairly confident my first DIY recipe is not going to be a keeper. However, I suppose its best to start with a loss to keep me humble. :)

    Interesting! I personally have never had a chocolate or coffee flavor vape that I liked. Not sure how to explain it but the taste that usually comes out (in commercial brands anyway) is pretty gross IMO. May i ask why you chose to add raspberry? Certainly Raspberry is no stranger as a pairing for chocolate in cooking, just curious if there was something more to it.

    Nothing more to it. Raspberry is one of the fruits that is good with chocolate. You can taste the chocolate in the mix but it’s not the #1 flavor.

    Very interesting... I'm obviously an amateur at DIY but looking at the ingredient it seems most of the ingredients are supportive of the choco mousse flavor. I'm curious what flavor comes out the strongest?

    Hmm nvm on second thought I would suspect the raspberry is the boldest flavor. Raspberry flavors in most foods tend to be almost astringent in nature which if true in vape held true... would make it arguably the strongest flavor even in lower concentrations

    The mix is one month steeped, it’s very much blended. I really can’t pick a top flavor but if pressed for an answer I’d have say raspberry.

    If your willing to try one chocolate I’d highly recommend VTA Chocolate Mousse. I think everyone will agree to that. It’s a good chocolate.

    I've honestly not used it much but don't use much chocolate flavors. I remember liking the Glamour chocolate a lot.

    I'm killing a little time while the potato salad reheats. ShortlyI will haveto shower a load up the car and go. I skipped church this morning to give myself some more time. Pretty soon things are going to be rocking.

    Good luck! I hope things go well.

    Good luck.:) In these parts I guess our potato salad is different. Always cold.

    I had a mix in my last run that I wasen’t that fond of so I didn’t post it. By the time I got into my second tankful I really started liking it so I’ll post it now. Better late than never.
