Random DIY mixing and More

[PJReid]

As I said, I don't do much with strawberries. I do follow and read the big time mixers and most feel you get the sweetest, most realistic strawberry with a trinity of flavors.

TFA Strawberry Ripe 3%
INW Shisha Strawberry 2%
FA Red Touch .5%

Mix as a stone and replace the strawberry % in your recipe with the same % of the trinity. IDK, but that is what they tell me.

Thanks so much, @IDJoel for pointing out that my post about the strawberry stone was hard to follow. NO excuses, except that I knew what I meant! LOL

If you want to do this with your strawberries, decide how much you want to make - 30ml is probably a good start if you use a lot of strawberries and want that authentic strawberry in all of your recipes.

For 30mls of concentrate:
TFA Strawberry Ripe 54.55%/100 (16.36 grams)
INW Shisha Strawberry 36.36%/100 (10.91 grams)
FA Red Touch 9.09%/100 (2.73 grams)

Sorry if I confused anyone. I have the Blueberry Holy Trinity too if anyone is interested. I collect things like this, just in case.

Curious why the biscuit for a shake?

I have the same questions when I see recipes where people put biscuit, graham crackers, etc. in sorbets.

When I have all of that going on, I literally put stickers on the tanks with the juice name on the sticker. It is the only thing that works for me. I am easily confused.

I've used tank band colors and custom logo pictures but forget which means what if I'm away from the tank for too long.

Not my recipe............

I questioned the use of biscuit too but figured I'd try the recipe as is. It's quite likely to be too sweet anyway.What caught my eye is the WF Hazelnut and Cream. I like it.

I'm guessing the biscuit is for body so it's not custardy maybe. If you like graham it plays nicely with nuts, guessing that is for flavor and a bit of body as well. I can't think of any other reason.

My cousin Meg is a junkie for the WF hazelnut & cream. Easiest recipe I make, she loves it as is.

It's good as is

Could use a different color vape band (or elastic hair band) for each flavor. Put one on tank and one on juice bottle, matching colors.

Good idea but too much work for me. I usually don't have any problem except when I go on a new juice testing binge.

 

[FranC]

My big plans for tomorrow are to get my re-mix of Fruit and Basil done and hopefully a mix with the FLV Raisin Rum. Plus try 2 new mixes.

I have more mixing bottles and need to come up with some new mixes.Need to keep a better mixing eye on the sweet factor.

Mine is when I go off a flavor binge and my other flavors sit. Then when I want one I don't know which tank it goes in.
Right now on a flavor binge it hasn't been bad. A new tank with new wicks often got me on a cleaning binge so old tanks were cleaned and ready.

If I mix on a wick and forget what I'm vaping it's something like Orange Tootsie on the Orange Nougat christened wick (a little chocolate goes good in the nougat).

 

[FranC]

Tentative mix for the Raisin Rum
FLV Raisin Rum 1 drop per 10 ml
TFA Vanilla Bourbon 1%
TFA Cheesecake/Graham 1.5%
TFA Graham Cracker Clear 1%
Hangsen RY3 5%

Thanks so much, @IDJoel for pointing out that my post about the strawberry stone was hard to follow.

Sorry about that; that was not my intent. My aging, withering grey matter was just not connecting the dots. @FranC was good enough to point out what was staring me right in the face, and I am all good!

Sorry if I confused anyone.

Only me!

I have the Blueberry Holy Trinity too if anyone is interested. I collect things like this, just in case.

If I haven't pushed my luck too far already; I would be interested in seeing it. I promise not to need clarification this time!

There is not a doubt in my mind that you were not the only person who was confused. I was confused. LMAO!


Holy Trinity of Blueberry Stone

by /u/EdibleMalfunction

• TFA Blueberry Extra 54.55/100
• FW Blueberry 36.36/100
• FA Bilberry 9.09/100

I assume you can do the math. (I had to ask my son. ) Decide how much you want to make, divide that number by 100. Multiply the quotient by the above decimal fraction for each flavor and the product gives you the grams of each to add to the stone.

I am a calculator person. Who knew I needed math for this stuff?

I am so glad my uncle is a mathematician right now.

I am grateful for my mathematician son every single day. He is such a help.

I can do the equations, my problem is I cannot get to the equation. Story problems were a rather large issue for me in school. Literally brought one teacher to tears one day.

Awesome; thank you!

Actually, those are the same percentages as the Strawberry stone you just shared (different concentrates of course). So, even a knucklehead like me, has a good chance!

 

[FranC]

I was actually good in math when I was in school. Long forgotten now............
