Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

I know I'm pretty new to this thread but Happy Birthday Natasha.

I'm really enjoying reading all of the posts here. I think I'm going to go ahead and mix up a couple fruit/pudding base mixes when I get home from work tonight.

Sounds good,Hitt Hope you like your mixes.

@IDJoel Your opinion on this please.
FA Black Tea 1%
TFA Green Tea 2%
TFA Dairy Milk 1% (or a cream)
INW Rhubarb .5% ( or a different fruit.

Sounds good,Hitt Hope you like your mixes.

I'm also thinking of substituting in some of the fruit flavors I got into the yogurt recipe I posted. I like how the yogurt recipe has a thick mouth feel to it.

This is just my wishlist at this time. I will delete some and possibly add back or add others. I just know it won't be the same by the time I order. The teas are staying though. The Blackberry Blossom probably won't make it and the FW White Grape will probably get the ax because I have Pur White Grape.

I haven’t tried the blackberry blossom tester yet. I’m doing a long steep with daily shakes. It called for 24 hours on a stir plate, which I don’t have. What I read about it wasn’t encouraging. Several people said it reminded them of cat urine. Not exactly what I’m going for in a vape .

I can skip the cat urine just fine

Got a bit antsy about mixing the Cucumber Tea so I went ahead and used the FA Green Tea that I have.

Apparently... "There’s nothing quite like almond to cut the natural sweetness of a tropical fruit such as coconut or a fall favorite such as apple.” 3 paragraph description of an almond flavor: 1st para, 2nd to last line...
Almond Flavor Concentrate

Definitely think I’ll add almond to the wish list. Looks worth a try, especially if it brings down the sweet

I'll give it a shot with one of the 4 Almonds I have.

The same guy that wanted to buy our car a month ago was back again today.Only this time he had a pocket full of cash. WooHoo for some spending money.

I'm still waiting for a sale though

I did dump the cat urine off my wishlist too.

Does anyone have FLV Amaretto Sour?

Another question also. I was reading that TFA Pom is sweet and FA has more tart to it. Your opinion?

Haven't posted anywhere in quite a few days, because my DIY research has me full time, but I've been here soaking it all up.

Just between this and the DIY for Dummies threads, I now have 40 pages of notes, broken down with these headers (still have to sort out much of it and alphabetize):

Random DIY recipes, Clone Recipes (of the ones I already like & some I've been meaning to try), DIY for Dummies - Simple Recipes, Flavor Notes (with notes on any flavors that I think I'll use at some point, including info. on additives & what they do), IDJoel's Flavor Testing Process, and IDJoel's Mixing/Recipe Development Best Practices...

Holy Crap... and I haven't even started mixing/testing individual flavors yet!

Formatting this document and proof reading for any measurement that is less than 1% and adding a preceding '0' (so I don't miss the decimal point and think .5% means 5%) is already proving to be a challenge... I can't believe the number of recipes where I find that. You'd think that everyone would be clear about those things, right out of the gate, right?

Good thing that I'm under a self-imposed 'gear ban'... This could get more involved than I thought! Hahaha!

 

[FranC]

Adding the 0 is a great idea

Congrats on selling the car Fran.

If that difference is there it has to be minor. I did a direct swap of TFA for FA in my pom menthol and the difference wasn't great, and mainly that FA was stronger.

I'm sorry, Dave. I can't do that
0.0.0.5, yeah, that's the same finger in opposite places for the 0 and .. Z.5 would be OK.
