It's 5:45 am and I'm on my third cup of coffee. Wake up everybody. It's a nice day. It's raining out.

This headline caught my eye yesterday: "Entire summer's worth of rain may fall from Texas, Oklahoma to Louisiana."

Hopefully not horrid.
Thank you!
Off the shake, that is actually among the better smelling mixes of this weekend. Though I learned from my first mix that a great smelling recipe doesn't necessarily translate to a great tasting vape.
I still haven't vaped any mix off the shake. A couple of the ones I did from ATF were noted as shake and vape or a few days steep but I waited at least a week before trying any of them.
One suggested a three day steep that I gave two weeks and it was okay but not great (to my taste). Had some left at four weeks plus and liked it better then.
I do give the steepers a little snuffle most every day though just to see what's going on.

    I tend to steep everything a month. You are starting to get enough mixed to do the same.

    Haha, yeah, there are 36 in my steeping drawer right now!
    Plus about a half dozen out in tanks as well.
    Out of nine tanks that I have set up I only have two with commercial juice in them. (still have around three liters of commercial!)

    Morning, mixers.

    Weather is on instant replay, mid 80s to low 90s, no rain. :(

    I never water my lawn or worry about how it looks except to keep it mowed, and that's just to keep the neighbors and the city happy. I only had to mow once this summer, because we weren't getting any rain. It's raining now, though and is expected to rain all week. I'm sure I'll have to mow once it stops, but I'm not gonna complain. The rain is definitely welcome.

    As long as you don't get too much too quickly!

    Yeah, grass here is on its. own, too. It's the garden beds scattered over 2 1/2 acres that takes the time... although I did get the latest cuttings up yesterday, and maybe the last mow of the year.

    How far did you get on your deck?

    I had to get out the mitre saw, compressor, and air staple gun to replace some slats on the railing before I could stain it. I got about six sections of railing stained so far. I think I mentioned before that it has three horizontal boards and 2x2's about every 3 inches in the center of them. It's a real pain to stain but it usually only needs it every 2-3 years. The floor will be a breeze compared to the railing. I have a long wood handle with a 5" brush that lets me stain the floor without bending over.

    Hopefully you’ll have good weather to finish it.

    It's supposed to be nice this week with highs in the 80's and no rain in the forecast until next week. My wife went out and did a little today before it got too hot for her. She's not very heat resistant. I'll probably work on it some more tonight after dinner.

    Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen,

    I received a vape mail today, so very pleased that I might buy another couple of them. With a bit of modification I might be able to squeeze a FeV vs dual into it, but the Dvarw 16 fits perfectly which was the goal.

    So now I know who stole Washington's rain ;)
    Thank you!

    Are you looking for shake n vapes? If so I have a few I have collected. I personally dont see much if any change in SnV and 2-4 week steeps with the exception of a few flavors. But everyones tastebuds are different. I suppose thats why you can find recipes with a ton of likes and you try and its meh.

    Not so much looking for them specifically right now, but came to mind when I was typing about smelling off the shake.
    I see many comments for recipes where folks just mixed up a batch and tried it off the shake.
    I was just thinking that I still haven't done that yet with any of my mixes. I guess that I really should try it sometime, and then maybe as each week passes to see how much the mix changes, if at all.
    I do know from my sniff tests that the aroma changes over time - maybe not so much the actual vape?
    Still learning.
    Thank you though, it certainly wouldn't hurt to have some proven quickies filed away for an emergency mix!
