Random DIY mixing and More

[ShowMeTwice]

I also do not like CAP shortbread. I'm vaping it now as a single flavor and it's just a bit heavy to me. I have not tried it in a mix with other flavors though.

I also found it to be heavy. Mine is in what I call The Flavor Corner of Shame. Although I will likely try it again but at a much lower percentage than how I've seen others use it. Like 1% in a mix.

That's an excellent idea! I am going to try that.

If you want more cherry flavor, then yes, add a drop or two of SSA Compote Cherry. Start low, you can add more as needed.

Alternatively, you could also add more FA Tahity Vanilla for more of a cherry note. Like 3% - 3.5%. But that will also boost the vanilla and likely make the almond more noticeable.

I have and like SSA Ripe Cherry and SSA Compote Cherry and also FA Cherry.

IMHO, the key with cherry flavoring and not turning it into a cough drop or cough syrup, is to use them lightly. Just 1-3 drops in a 30ml mix will deliver a nice authentic tasting cherry (depending on other flavors used).

Again, thank you.

It's cold today currently at 54 degrees.

LOL, it was in the teens here this morning. Currently it's 29°.

I'm that loopy person who enjoys winter and snow. We need snow so I can break out our snowmobiles.

I'm finished with my follow up appointment. Doctor took off all the bandages but left the drains. He prefers that the drainage be less bloody, even though there isn't much of it.

Sounds like you are healing nicely.

Here ya go!!! Not sure if you wanted all or one, so all it is.

WF Watermelon (Yellow) 2%
WF Kiwi (Yellow) 1.3%
SSA Grapefruit 1%

With those flavors and percents you will taste the Grapefruit up front, followed by the Kiwi and then a light Watermelon on the backside. WF did a fantastic job with Kiwi (Yellow) and Watermelon (Yellow). The watermelon is not like many of the other watermelon flavors (sweet and candyish). It's more like FA Watermelon (Red Summer) minus the seed and rind notes.


FLV Sweet Mango 1%
FLV Ripe Mango 0.5%
CAP Fresh Pineapple 2%
FA Passionfruit 0.5%

If you don't have the Flavorah mangoes, Island Mango will work. But, I should mention those FLV mangoes paired together make for a killer mango profile.


Wafer Pineapple
CAP Wafer Crunch 2.25%
CAP Fresh Pineapple 1%
WF Vanilla Cream Extra 1.25%
WF Frozen Yogurt 1%

I have FLV Mango. Not ripe or sweet

I have FLV Mango too. It's a good mango just not as good as the other two (IMO).

IIRC, you have WF Island Mango???

Perhaps try pairing Island Mango 1% - 1.5% with FLV Mango 0.75%.

 

[ShowMeTwice]

FLV Ripe Mango and FLV Sweet Mango are more highly concentrated flavors compared to WF Island Mango and FLV Mango.

I have 6 recipes and have bookmarked other ideas.

Tired now.completely forgot about the bases I have mixed. If I can fit 7 recipes then I’ll use one of my bases for a mix.

LOLz... little things in life amuse the heck outta me. I just yawned while my dog was all up in my face. She then yawned.

For science... I will try this again with a fake one to see if I can get her to yawn again.

Spoiler: meanwhile...

Silently wondering if a VIRTUAL yawn might induce an ACTUAL yawn in others. Purely for science. LOL

Do yourself a favor... and buy SSD drives for your computer. Unlike traditional hard drives there are no moving parts whatsoever. SSD drives are very large capacity memory chips. They are sized the same as any old fashioned mechanical hard drive. The prices have come WAY down on SSD drives in the last few years.

I'm getting ready to pick up new computers and SSD sounds good for speed. For some reason I have it stuck in my mind that they don't last as long as the old style drives. Maybe I'm just out of date.

I back up monthly to plug in hard drives and nightly to an on-line system. Never had a drive fail yet though.

The speeds of SSD's are superior to those found in HDD's. Current SSD's will last longer than HDD's. But we know any drive, be it SSD or HDD, can fail at any time.

Here's a good CDW article on HDD vs. SSD.

HDD vs. SSD: Choosing the Right Hard Drive

What are the differences between an HDD and an SSD? Learn how to choose the right hard drive for you and your business needs based on a number of factors.

www.cdw.com

"If you're looking purely from a numbers standpoint, averages indicate an SSD can last about 20 years, whereas an HDD will last about six."

"If speed is the name of the game, there’s no question that SSD’s move much faster than HDDs. As noted above, solid-state drives can read/write speeds of around 550 MB/s faster than a hard disk drive. SSDs can go even faster, provided your computer can handle it. A PCIe SSD can achieve anywhere from 1.2 GB/s to 2.2 GB/s - assuming you have a motherboard that can handle these speeds."
