    Hubs is finally feeling better today.:) He's gone to pick up his dump truck from a "friend" that borrowed it and neglected to bring it back.

    So I'm gonna get my nic base mixed so I can make more flavors:)

    I really hate people that borrow and don't bring things back. I've told you about the neighbor I used to have. I was never so glad as when they moved.

    I ran out of nic half though mixing my nic mix. That gained me a 250ml bottle to make more nic mix.....LOL. It's my first glass bottle that big:) So I made the trip to the freezer and hauled out another bottle of nic and finished mixing. Hoping to mix some juice before hubs gets back.Gotta do some house maintenance first......at least dishes.:lol:

    Fran,
    I did that on 5/5/18 except I used
    Pur NY Cheesecake @ 7.5 @
    Pur Cheesecake Graham @ 2.5%

    Its had a long steep and the cheesecake flavor is coming through, but its mild, at least to me. Faintly taste the Cheesecake and if it was a blind testing I would not have guessed what it is. I think I may up the NY to 9%. And then, if needed, up the Graham to 3.5%.

    :)

    To be fair---I am gonna wait until tomorrow before deciding what to do. I think I need that time for the coil/wicking to totally saturate with the juice. I have noticed a stronger flavor that way in some of my mixes.
    UPDATE

    This has now become a very good flavor. As we all know that sometimes the juice needs a little heat to start the flavors coming out. With this flavor, the more I used it(and the wicking became more saturated) the flavor started to dial in. I should have anticipated that(but didn't) as it also happens with some of the other flavors I have. Sometimes I need a whole tank full before flavor starts tasting as it should.
    I will try not to make that mistake again:facepalm:

    :)

    I do that too. I usually use small tanks so I like to run a couple tankfuls though before making a decision.

    I've got that mix steeping and forgot about it until you mentioned it. It should be ready by now. I don't remember who posted the link but I went ahead and ordered an entheon rda. I've also got an ammit rda clone coming. I just couldn't bring myself to pay $30 plus shipping for an rda.

    Yes but under Inawera @PJReid has her reviews for both white grapefruit and yellow grapefruit. I have neither yet but I do have INW grapefruit. I didn’t know if yellow grapefruit is the name or she meant yellow as in opposed to white grapefruit.

    Yes, the one that is labeled just Grapefruit is the yellow Grapefruit. It tastes much the same as the White Grapefruit to me, but is sweeter.

    Thank you so much. I was looking for the less sweet choices What are the percentages of your blend?

    That info was very helpful,Thanks again:wub:

    In my Sea Breeze, I use 1% Pink Guava, 1.75% Ruby Red, .25% INW White. You might want to play with those percentages a little - maybe upping the INW White a bit as it is the most tart of the three. Mixed with cranberry in the Sea Breeze, the Ruby Red is perfect and the Pink Guava lushes it out a bit.

    I'm going to start mixing nic base, man. It sounds so handy. LOL.

    @FranC LOL the way you keep playing with your cart... I must tell a cautionary tale, and it is that my summer over in England (where I first started smoking, btw) me and my (then) BF and (then) best friend found a couple of shopping carts, and were having races with them. Drunk. Super fun, until the police or constable or whatever they're called showed up and told us we were engaging in "cart abuse."

    We didn't get ticketed or anything but he was pretty stern. So keep an eye out. :D

    I hope you find your magic set of flavors, actually! I would never have the patience for that. I'm going to pick out (a few) boozy flavors soon here, and just hope they're in stock once the July 4th sales start. LOL.

    Now you tell me......LOL

    It surprised me too. LOL I emptied out my bottle of TFA already. I do need to order but am holding out for 4th of July sales. This will be my last order for a while. I am moving from Virginia to Seattle for a year (in mid-July) so will pack up and ship my DIY stuff after I mix up enough juice to last for a bit.

    Me too but since this is temporary, it isn't so bad. I don't have to move furniture - just my "stuff." I will be staying with my daughter and her three kiddos there while her husband is doing a fellowship in DC.
