Random DIY mixing and More

Is there a decent sub for the Fa madagscar vanilla?

No, not really. I don't know of a 1:1 sub for it. FA Madagascar (Vanilla Classic) is a very unique vanilla flavor.

IMO one of the following vanillas will work nicely. It will change the overall taste, but yes, will work.

SSA Classic Vanilla 1%
SSA Madagascar Vanilla 1% --- it is not anything like the FA Madagascar
SSA Borneo Vanilla 1%
VTA Vanilla Classic 1.5%

Or, subbing an ice cream. I've made caramel ice cream mixes with FW Salted Caramel and those were tasty.

SSA Ice Cream 1.5%

FW Salted Caramel at 1.5% will still be front and center with any of those substitutions. It's a pretty strong caramel flavor.

I didn't need the AC last night which was nice but I'll be back to using it tonight. A mostly sunny 83 for today.

I would use Vanilla Swirl but SMT might have a different idea.

TFA Vanilla Swirl at 1% - 1.5% will also work. Won't taste the same, but yup, it'll work.

How is your leg doing?

It's doing well, very little pain. I'm still at bedrest and using my scooter. I am going to go to church this morning. I see the doctor on Tuesday.

I had the central AC on last night, it was warm and muggy. It's a lot warmer down here in the city than it is up north.

S'posed to hit about 90° today........ I am not used to the warmer weather.

My Pear green tea is tasting good this morning in my little XROS 3.. You wouldn't think such a small pod could make a flavor change so good.

Hoping your doctor has good news for you.

I'm really happy the 90's have been absent this August.

When Carli dog and I went for our walk at 4am it was already 75° and very muggy. She does not like warm weather. Me.... I adjust as needed.

Oh well..... soon enough Summer will be in the rear-view mirror.

LOLz, no surprise, I'm looking forward to cooler temps, and ummm, all that comes with it (yay!!!).

Heather and hubby are now in Skagway, Alaska.

Alaska is the only state I haven't been to. Would still like to go there.

When Heathers next youngest sister went she really wanted to move there. Heather and her hubs said the same thing. You should make the trip.

@hittman Is the 5ml pod device a juice hog also?

I've been getting a covid booster every 6 months. Haven't had covid at all. But, I do suspect that eventually everyone will come down with a case of covid at some point. I mean, ya know, covid is here to stay. The virus has not been eradicated.

The science has very clearly demonstrated that if someone has had a recent booster shot, and contracts covid, the booster will lessen the effects of covid, making it a more mild case, versus the risk of a more severe case, and symptoms, for those who still refuse the vaccine.

FWIW......... covid cases, hospitalizations and deaths are once again climbing steadily in the US and the World.

I heard a few days ago that covid is still the fifth most common cause of death in the US. I would have guessed it was less than that.

I got covid last Jan. Per age and health I'm in a high risk group. It was like a bad flu, we stayed in bed for 3 days and felt under the weather for a couple of weeks. Without all the shots it might have been a lot worse. We decided not to go to the hospital no matter how bad it got, rather check out at home than let the docs shove tubes down our throats.

A single person's experience doesn't say much, but the statistics show that the shots are very effective.

We get all the shots as soon as they are available so I'm eagerly waiting for the next one, due in the next couple of months I believe.

I'm hoping to get there. But first, She's been wanting to take me to Italy. My Italian is very iffy. She is fluent. Told me, "one day I'm going to surprise you and we will be off". LOL

DD had Covid around the time it first came to our area and she had a very mild case. After that she had all the shots and boosters. This time she has a very bad case of Covid. Soooo were the shots and boosters at all effective?

I've really wondered that myself...son has all his but got that crud 3x

Don't know if it's just me but vaping has always been a bit of a seesaw experience. Most of the time it just rolls along, but once in a while everything gets particularly good or bad. Like suddenly all the tanks are misbehaving or I go off my flavors. Or everything is great for a while.

Right now I have 2 good setups going. The other five are worthless. Tanks I just rewicked a few days ago taste burned or leaking and gurgling or whatever. And I'm running short of several flavors and some others need a bunch more steeping.

Guess I have some work to do today.

Depends how long ago she got the shot. They weaken with time.

@hittman Is the 5ml pod device a juice hog also?

I would say it depends on which coils you use and your settings. I haven’t noticed a difference between it and an rta.
