    Somewhere between here and there
    Is that your new tank or a review one?
    It’s the first high end tank I’ve bought. It’s a Voltrove 25mm V3 RTA. Sessiondrummer reviewed it and caught my attention.

    Morning, mixers.

    Guess it's a heat wave here, only 20 last night, and we might break 40 today. Topped at 39 here yesterday... and the guess is for snow tonight. We'll see.

    I learned a lesson about flavors. When I got Covid last month I didn't do anything to my tanks for 3 or 4 weeks, and most of them were already due for wicks or coils. When I got my energy back and fixed them all they looked pretty nasty. Man, they tasted so good afterwards. Now I'm replacing wicks more often than I used to and enjoying that nice tastiness. It's easy to get lazy. I have some like menthol that taste OK even after the coil gets black and cruddy, and some that need a new wick after a few days.

    True that! Some flavors do fine through the crud, some not so fine! Of course, some flavors will gunk faster than others, but in addition to that I find that lighter and more "delicate" mixes do benefit from frequent refresh :)

    Butterscotch 12.3

    FW Butterscotch Ripple 3%
    FA Butterscotch 1%
    FW Butterscotch 1%
    FA Madagascar (Vanilla Classic) 1.5%
    INW Shisha Vanilla 1%
    FLV Cream 1%

    Suggested steep = 4 weeks / as always, YMMV / you will be rewarded with a long steep.

    This mix delivers a very tasty creamy butterscotch. The butterscotch is out front, followed by a pleasant creaminess.

    In DIY there is no one butterscotch flavor that will provide a complete b-scotch profile. A tasty and convincing profile requires using multiple butterscotch flavors. Flavor West makes three excellent butterscotch flavors, I used two of those in this mix.

    FW Butterscotch Ripple is a "hands-down" favorite of mixers. On its own it presents a creamy almost ice cream like main note with a ripple of butterscotch. The b-scotch is light and therefore needs help to boost its overall profile. FW Butterscotch is a straight-up no nonsense b-scotch flavor.

    FA Butterscotch is more of a European tasting butterscotch. It's darker tasting but not a complete b-scotch on its own. In this mix it is being used to add its darker b-scotch notes. It does that well.

    FA Madagascar, INW Shisha Vanilla and FLV Cream are staples in several of my mixes. Together they create a rich tasting vanilla cream that works well in just about any mix.

    Adding 2% - 3% of any bakery flavor will add complexity to the mix. A chocolate at 2% works nicely. This will work with any nut flavor (0.5% - 1% as an accent).

    @Zazie can you please add this to your blog? Thanks!!! :)

    You could at least post something I can vape. Don't really care much for butterscotch in RL either.

    So @ShowMeTwice I see you've been here liking posts but had nothing to say. Haven't thought of any new mixes yet?
    LOL. I'm not very quick with typing. :greengrin:

    If only... I could link my brain to my computer I'd be the fastest typing human on the planet.
    ECF would explode!!! :lol: :lol:

    I'm still working on my pear crumble slice recipe. Youngest daughter wants to work on that with me. Told her okay, but only if she mixes my nic base that she always uses up and never replenishes. LOL, she said "oh I used it all up, I thought you had more". :facepalm: Guess what she's doing? :thumb:
