Random DIY mixing and More

[ceeceeisme]

Thanks, @ceeceeisme! This is exactly the kind of help I'm looking for. I will switch from FA to FE.

Should I get more than one mango, though? If so, which?

If you're shooting for a Mango Lassi the FE is all you should need. I consider myself to be a bit of a mango aficionado and to me FE Mango tastes just like a fresh ripe, juicy mango all by itself, no help needed. You can use it from 1% to 2%. At 2% it's pretty strong and I wouldn't recommend going any higher unless you are a "low" taster.

Thanks again, @ceeceeisme! I've also added a cantaloupe (Capella) and a honeydew (Jungle Flavors). I think they might be good in the background to support the mango.

@Zazie — Personally FLV Mango is my favorite. With all the talk about sweet rice, I mixed a bottle of Shyndo’s Mango Sticky Rice this morning. It was last year since I mixed this. Like @Heartsdelight I too like FA Cardamon. I have seen many mixers use FA Apple Pie for the crust with no apple taste.

I noticed that Shyndo one-shot but begrudged the bucks for 30mls. I hate Flavorah's prices, too. Why do they charge twice as much or more, darn it?

Yes Hic has said for a cobbler like crust he suggests a 2:1 ratio of FA Apple Pie to FA Cookie.

I agree about their prices. However I really like their mango so for me it is worth it. It is not very sweet in case this matters to you. I also use it in a Mango Blossom Macaron by ID10-T.

I was not referring to HIC and was speaking in general to what I see other mixers doing. There is only one HIC recipe that I mixed last year with a pie crust and it used 0.5% Apple Pie and 0.5% Cookie.

My apricot/peach milkshake is ready today....sooooo yummy to me! I had @FranC ’s name next to the milkshake base (don’t know if it’s yours or you reposted it) and the fruit %s scribbled next to it . So, a big TY to both “whoevers” came up with them. It’s going in the adv pile

I looked up his flavor notes.

I have Fran’s Milkshake based mixed up. I haven’t added fruit yet. What % did you use for each ?

 

[FranC]

I'm getting the urge to mix a milkshake myself...LOL I don't know how sure I am about that with new flavors waiting for me.

Mango Blossom Macaron

This sounds delish. And the macaron component would work with all kinds of flavors.

I have a pineapple milkshake recipe that sounds good — no idea though as I have not mixed it yet. Uses INW Mississippi and INW Pineapple plus some other flavors.

You are absolutely correct. He has another recipe Saturday Morning Macaron which I really like as well however it uses a couple of FLV flavors one of which is Rich Cinnamon. I do not know if this is one that you bought or not. If not, sub FA Ceylon Cinnamon. Both cinnamons are very good although different. FA for me is like the cinnamon one has in their spice rack. The other is called Big Papa’s Macaron which I have not mixed yet.

I got both Rich Cinnamon and Ceylon Cinnamon. No Cinnamon Crunch, though. I imagine it could be omitted.

Tfa Apricot 3, fa white peach 2.... someone else posted the %s, I just adapted to what I have/like

Wouldn’t it be a dream if one store offered all the brands that I wanted to buy grrrrrrr!!

I spend over 30 minutes adding to my cart. Finally get to the last couple of concentrates aaaand they don’t either carry the brand or are out of it *eyeroll

Man my eye is messed up again So annoying. I think it HAS to be mascara related since it only started since I began work. Today I was all minimalist and shoved a butterfly bandaid on it not an eye patch. It should be fine in a few hours.... I hope. Because after that attacking ALL my clothes, and the apocalypse closet (shiver). Tomorrow it's my therapy stuff, as shiver, I also have a lot of them, oh large doll houses and sand trays and stuff.

My lost vape mirage came!! Hehe. Also, I am somehow caught up on notes. I was ruthless. I was like, "that family does not need to talk to you once when they will never see you again" a lot to myself so I did not overschedule.Amma

I can’t believe I’ve actually run out of room and need to actually create a vape closet. I had been using open shelves with nice canvas bins but I’m over the top now and need more room.

I just like having all my “stuff” nearby so I can browse through it and decide which mod or atty I want to play with for awhile.

Again, 1st world problems.

Thinking of placing another ECX order, even though I'm irritated with them. That 20% discount is hard to resist. Besides, last Saturday's order arrived yesterday, while the Wizard Labs order placed the same day has yet to arrive, and their St. Patrick's Day discount (HAPPY19) is only 15%.

Anyway, this is what's in my cart, and, once again, I would love to hear what you think:

WOW! That’s ALOT of flavors!! How many are you up to now after this order? I thought I jumped in the hole quickly but I’m still at the starting gate compared to you lol!!

I’m still trying to figure out why the hell I have Fig in my stash. Fig? I don’t even like figs.

 

[Fidola13]

I haven’t done anything really with spices or teas.

Me neither or chocolate even though I love chocolate. Im determined to stick with the flavor paths im on. I can’t imagine how many more flavors I’d be buying if I got into another direction too!!
