Random DIY mixing and More

[IDJoel]

Obviously I was not very professional with these mixes.

Not to worry! Plenty of DIYers mix the same way... and are happy doing so. My comments were (hopefully) for the sole purpose of giving a different point of view.

Building in layers, is much more tedious/slow, than throwing it all together from the get-go. The main advantage, is it becomes much easier to identify what might need to be changed. Being able to put a finger on whether something specific is too much, not enough, or maybe just not the right/best concentrate (for the mixer's preferences); simply becomes much easier (and faster?) to identify.

I have also noticed that a lot of the "Big" boys & girls of the DIY world tend to mix this way. Is it right for every DIYer? I highly doubt it. I could see a lot of the fun, and spontaneity, going out of the process for some folks. And, in my mind, enjoying what you are doing, is three quarters of the battle.

I have been focusing more on sfts lately and most of my last shipment of flavorings were sft'd. I'm getting there

Indeed you are!

Again, this is his my opinion; but I think, the more familiar we are with our ingredients, the fewer abject failures we are likely to create. SFTs are boring, and often a PITA, but I find them most informative.

I mean actual cardboard box flavor. Or a fiber biscuit? And cherry.

That doesn’t sound very tasty . I only tried one cherry, once... although I maybe could have saved it to add to the eucalyptus/mint. It had a definite cough drop taste sft . I disregarded info on cherry after that flop, but it seems on another site someone recommended mixing it with either strawberry or pomegranate??? I’m sure someone here will have paid better attention than I did and can correct me. If you’ve liked the coconut cream and the custard both in other mixes, then at least you’ve narrowed down the cardboard culprit

Are you familiar with Purilum Cream Cheese Danish with Toasted Almonds? I get the same main flavoring in that as the wf shortbread. CCD has a little more going on but very similar to me. If you like the danish you would like wf shortbread I would think.

I do not have that.

 

[FranC]

I don’t get anything weird out of the WF, but there’s no predicting taste buds, as we’ve all discovered.

Well,since you seem to like several of my mixes I have to assume our taste bud are at least somewhat similar.Hoping it works for this flavor anyway

When hubs and I started vaping we were both all tobacco.We graduated quickly from carts and attys and pre-filled cartos to buying our own juice and filling our own cartos. By that time I was branching out a bit to other flavors and dipping my toes in DIY a bit. It took a lot of buying to finally find some tobacco juice hubs liked.Having several bottles of yuck tobaccos I decided to mix a little cherry flavoring with them to make them more vapable to me. It worked and I used up almost all the baccys before I totally burnt out on cherry. My taste buds are unforgiving. I've been unable to vape cherry ever since.

I don't possess the patience to build in layers but I tend to start at very low % at times just because it's much easier to add than subtract. I'm also guilty of mixing totally blind with one of my recent mixes using not one but two flavors I've never tried. I do have an sft of at least one of those but haven't tried it.............

 

[hittman]

I do some sft but am totally guilty of blind mixing. Sometimes it comes out ok and sometimes it’s a fail.

Not me This was my very first time using 2 flavors I've never tried before.I don't make a practice of blind mixing.

 

[stols001]

I still do it. But, in much smaller quantities now, and usually with flavor profiles I sort of know (now).

It's really dispiriting to throw out, say, a 75 ml mix as a MTL vaper.

I should be more vigilant and I used to be but then I went nuts on a bunch of flavor orders (I'm done for now) and it just seemed unsurmountable plus I have less time. Etc.

Flavoring up the douche juice as I am now calling it, but not yet. The husband staggered to the bathroom, made pathetic noises, gave me an evil look and staggered back to bed. He's on way more drugs than me, but he was sicker longer... He's also smoking.

I SO want to point that out, but remembering what smoking/pneumonia was like, maybe he'll get it for 18 months and quit? Anyway, I think this one needs to be more of an object lesson. LOL.

Yay, I mixed today! Just some sft. 10mls

Alpine strawberry, a one drop test and a two drop test
Cinimmon Crunch Flv
Vanilla pudding Flv
Cream Flv
Frosting Flv
Croissant WF
Deep fried pastry dough WF

I need to send dc99 a box mod this week and have a couple of PIF flavors if anyone is interested.
Peanut butter TPA/TFA 4oz bottle with 0.30 missing. I mixed a 30ml bottle of Goofy’s Juice with it.
And one unopened bottle of Peanut butter Flv.

Goofy’s Juice was the first peanut butter vape I’ve ever had and I have decided I do not like peanut butter as a vape.

I ran across this recipe from Liam Davey today for a rhubarb and mixed red berries custard. Though definitely not for me, it sounds like something a lot of you would like.

Id have to look back and see what % I used. My few cookie recipes have had at least two “cookies” or added cereal 27

I have pink panther, and no idea what recipe it was for. Maybe I could sub plum? I’ll have to research

You could probably sub a different brand of plum. Pink Panther, from what I read, is a rhubarb and red berry cream/custard. At .15% on the Plum, you could probably leave it out and still have a nice vape.

Ugh. I have hit airhead day. It took me longer to find my nebulizer juices than to nebulize.

The husband was NO help. I started to describe them and he was like, "I'm going to go play bejeweled now."

I gotta do my medbox but I'm also slightly scared to. I think I'm gonna wait til my next dose of Adderall.

I just loaded a tank with my first time trying Fran’s cereal bites. My tastebuds aren’t as refined as most here but I barely pick up on the pomegranate and rhubarb. Definitely get the cereal, cheesecake, and Italian cream. If I mix it again I might up the Pom and rhubarb to 2% each.

Caramel Cream Carrot Cake-
4% Carrot Cake WF
2 Sweet Cream CAP
1.5 Caramel Butter WF

Vaping this today. I like it. I know carrot cake is not everyone's cup of tea. The sweet cream and caramel butter don't seem to be adding much but it's a little fuller than the Carrot Cake sft I made. Smoothed out some of the ginger spice. 4% is nice for me right now. Will have to make a larger bottle of this for Easter.

All day company has given me a headache.Not to mention I didn't get anything done.

 

[hittman]

I got more pipe insulation installed in the basement, made chili, and took the snowblower apart to see why it was hard to start. Of course the only reason I’m getting stuff done is my wife and daughter went shopping.

Sigh. Here in NW Ohio we have had less than 1" of snow total and it was not at one time. I miss it. We usually have snow on the ground from December to March...
