Maybe a can of spray paint? 
Good morning,mixing folks
I will be going home to my kitties today. I didn't try the 2 new mixes I brought with me but will once I settle in back home. I hope to get back in mixing mode next week. Even though I have no lack of juice,it's still nice to have something new to try.

Good morning @FranC .
I have some testers to make today, and a bunch of nic to prep for storage in glass bottles. My wife and m-i-law have been hounding me to make something for them, so I picked up TPA Banana Nut Bread, I think I'll make a simple mix with that and another banana flavor (forget what I have, probably TPA).
I also want to mix a big bottle of Hazelnuts and Cream and I'm thinking of adding a little extra hazelnut flavor (I have CAP V2 and FA Hazel Grove), maybe a little Biscuit.
I did try one new mix yesterday, I added extra FA Cookie to the Strawberry Crumble recipe that has been floating around, and had to sub the strawberries, turned out pretty nice at 25 days steep, reserving the rest for another couple weeks.

Biscuit with Hazelnut and Cream is a interesting idea.
I decided on 1% Inw Biscuit and 2% CAP Hazelnut V2 to go into 5% Hazelnuts and Cream. I'm at the end of a 100ml bottle of a 5% single flavor Haze and Cream and want more.Good morning
Interested in how that turns out.
Hello mixologists been missing this thread! I was gonna mix yesterday afternoon but now all my supplies are out. My little brother called. Etc. I'm doing it as soon as the husband wakes up and I'm mostly going to stick to tried and true, but like, I have to mix for the next 60--90 days because we will be moving.
Where? I have no clue. But, it's going to happen, etc. Oy. I know I will be pleased, and I am almost done with my first liter of nic salts so there will be freebase in there, kind of excited to see how it changes my mixes, honestly.
I have tons else to do because yesterday was all "fix meds" day but at least I will be able to concentrate. Etc.
Happy mixing! I want something rhubarb something FIERCE. Heh.

I’m going to try to get a couple two flavor mixes done today to start and see if I want to add to them.
Been house shopping?
Think it may have to be rent a house for a year first. I was hoping to avoid it, but I don't think it's going to happen and I am ALSO not going to renew my lease where I am AT that is for DAMN sure.
I am clueless about the entire thing honestly but I think we can't put this house on the market/rent it until we are out of it it's not gonna work.
I'm letting the husband be in charge though, but frankly if I MUST renew my lease, I will be able to live on my salary but I'm sort of afraid he NEVER wants to move. LOL.
It's all a mess, and like, in Sierra Vista you don't house shop until you can buy. They go like hotcakes, although I think we will be a bit more rural. Etc.
I HAVE NO CLUE.

I feel so McGuyvery. I mixed my base, I put the right amount of base in every bottle, everything is labeled, etc (Not Making That Mistake Again) and then I couldn't find my syringes.
Keep in mind I only use them for flavoring. I mix my base using cups. 2 cups nic (VG) 4 cups PEG, 3 cups, I wrote 2 but I was wrong (edited) cups VG, meaning 1 cup for flaoving. 10%. Good enough for me.
THEN, I measure out 45 ml and shove that into all my bottles. Then the remaining 10% goes in flavors.
I can't find my freaking syringes ANYWHERE they actually are HANDY for this part.
LOL I was digging around in the husband's baking stuff because sometimes I wash stuff and put it away etc and etc.
I was like, "There is no way in hell that I am going to find something since we do not live in METRIC land" but then I found my (lovely and pretty and I bought then to distract myself and the kid got a car cuz we were doing the cystic fibrosis test that every pulmenologist makes you do, if your kid has severe asthma even though 90% of me was, "Oh, this is complete BS in every way," doing that test and waiting for the results sucks. Especially since like, (in Tucson) the machine looked like something from a Ford Model A plant. Truly) Anyway the husband yelled at me for an unnecessary purchase and I showed him our LAST measuring spoons which were cheap and the labels had all worn off.
In any case, I looked at them, and thought: I wonder how much a teaspoon measures in metric?
4.92892159!!! That is how many. Since I am also fairly confident that is 10% of 50 ml, not to mention the fact that all my bottles are wide mouth bottles (fine motor tremor). I am just so pleased. I still need a break mixing is forever exhausting. LOL.
I'm already started packing too, my attitude today is like, "Notes, I am very sorry but TOO bad." I had a bad week, I'm gonna use THIS weekend to do what I NEED to, not anyone else that's what your weekend is FOR.

OFF to teaspoon. LOL. Shoot it's getting late.
This commute thing reeks, but I am excited to mix. I better hurry up and finish.

OMG it went GREAT!! LOL I found my syringes right before I started the teaspoon method but I have to say (apart from like one shots where you can just SHOVE an amount in etc., the teaspoon method is cool! You can really count drops easily, you can (I gu)estimate how much of one flavor you have if you need say, half and if you want half you can just use the half teaspoon. No washing syringes constantly between flavors, either. Not to mention, they're metal all you need between mixes is a clean cloth to dry it off pretty thoroughly. No trying to get the syringe inside the dang bottle, or tilted, no slo-o-ow suckage of pesky flavoring into the syringe.
I had so much fun I made two extra mixes. I have 11 mixes (I don't need that many but I wanted them.)
If you really want to flavor like a cook, I highly recommend this method. If you want to be bakery precise, probably not. I will report back (the flavors I mean.) But like, for me it's not a huge issue, I felt much more like a cook than a scientist, it was way FUN.
I mean I didn't sneeze into my mixer or anything, but it was super IDK "organic" I think they will turn out great.
I also have like half my base back, I cleared away the detritus of my mixingness plus all the vapes the kiddo gave me back and now we can sell that table.
The only downside (for me) was like, by the end of all the return of the flavors to the refrigerator, well, I had an extra lid.
It's entirely possible that it was just random detritus but I mean it's ME so like, it's entirely possible in between screwing on flavor lids REALLY thoroughly I just tossed one in without a lid at all.
That would be fine if it was ONE flavor. But, it could make a whole box of flavors illegible if tilted correctly. I am not about to investigate, man. That is for sure. I also am tired, but I gotta move here.
I always feel this way after mixing but I'm happy I have a ton of mixes and also, have done my part toward moving today. So I shall sit. Etc.

@hittman On nuts,Cap Hazelnut and TFA DX peanut butter are my fav. For other decent nuts there is WF Roasted Pecan,Fa Walnut and FW Butter Pecan. I've found that WF Cashew has little taste for me but others like it. I haven't gone through all my notes yet and I think I also have some nuts I haven't tried yet.
Thanks Fran. I’ve got a pretty good selection of nuts on my list now.
I got a couple samples mixed and put away flavors from my last two orders today. Now I need to rebuild a tank.

Got more done than me
Hope everyone had a nice weekend. No mixing for me this weekend but I did add a third case for the flavor concentrates. Then I had to reorganize everything AGAIN! So for now - no more flavors unless I’m restocking. I refuse to get a 4th case and reorganize once again lol!
