Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Any new mixing plans for today,folks?

I want to mix an old fav cheesecake with the Hangsen Italian Cream I already have steeping. I saved the directions I was given so hopefully I can do it right.....LOL.

Since I've been a lazy mixer the last few days I figured I'd try to get a jump on it. Yup I got one whole mix done.Just got to put a label on it and stick it away. The already mixed HS Italian Cream has steeped for 10 days so not quite as long a wait for this one.

I haven't mixed my Bittersweet Chocolate Cheesecake for 5 months and I actually forgot I use both custard and Whipped Cream in this recipe. It's a very old recipe I've tweaked over the years and the only one I use those flavors in. Hopefully it will be good with the HS Italian Cream. I did cut the custard and whipped cream down a bit.

It's important to me to determine if the PEG base mix will really lessen sweetness for me. I have a Pink Guava Wine that I like but it was just a tad too sweet. Not a lot but just enough that I couldn't vape it for long. I did a new mix with the PEG base and I'll be trying that next. With fingers crossed.

According to Linda, that Fa means it's one of The Flavor Apprentice flavorings that does not need a special GHS label (indicating possible skin sensitivities, it's flammable, etc.). Maybe the vendor bought the 4oz. or 16oz. size and when they rebottled it, they kept the Fa as it was on the larger bottles from TFA. Either that, or you bought 1 of those 2 sizes, and it's the original TFA bottle.

ETA: Or...it may say Flavor Apprentice inside that box with the Fa afterall. I just looked at an 8mL vial of TFA Passion Fruit from Wizard Labs. It has the Fa in a small box...and using my magnifying headset I can just barely make out the teensy, itty-bitty Flavor Apprentice name there, underneath the Fa.

Mine was a 10ml small bottle. I usually buy small bottles until I find out it's a keeper. Then, I go to 30ml size.

Remixes, also need to rebuild to vape stuff.

A couple of my zeus tanks are in desperate need of rebuilding. I don't know if I'll get to it today or not.

I got all mine cleaned before I left but didn’t have time to build. My back is cranky from all the driving, so coils will have to wait

@Letitia shared some ny cc and kiwi to try. Going to mix those up. Pulled the ky bourbon/smoked butterscotch/italian cream/meringue out to test again. It’s at 4 weeks now. Totally different than at almost 3 weeks. The tang of the it cream has popped, butterscotch has mellowed. Bourbon needs a bump in %. I’ll remix that today so it can go to steep forEVAH. Also found a peach green tea recipe by smoky blue that uses persimmon (new flavor). And, digging through the pile of screenshots for a basil recipe. We’ll see what catches my eye

 

[FranC]

I wouldn't have thought that wine wouldn't be enough base for a fruit mix for me but it seems to work. The PEG mix seems to work also because I still have the Guava Wine in my rotation and no problems with the sweetness. Thank you again @Letitia

 

[hittman]

That reminds me that I have some PEG to try thanks to Letitia. I just need to figure out what I want to use it for.

IDK. You like sweet........

I guess I should test it with a recipe that I'm already using so I can see if I can tell much difference.

My Raisin Rum mix has it all,cheesecake,graham, tobacco,vanilla bourbon... In a small 1.5ml eleaf tank the taste is good with the Rum Raisin up front and it's a good taste. In a tank just a bit larger (2ml egoOne) the taste is entirely different. The Rum Raisin takes a backseat in the 2ml. Not a bad flavor but just not as good. Furthers my opinion that small tanks have the best flavor.

Good idea.

@hittman Have you added the FLV Raisin Rum to your growing wishlist yet? I think you'd really like the taste and 3 drops in 30ml is plenty.

 

[NolaMel]

Words to the wise... never start printing out screenshots when you can’t decide what to mix. I could take today’s pile and make a book:”Random Recipes from the Gurus of Random DIY”

I'm a little surprised. I haven't tried any booze flavors that I have liked. Is the rum strong in it?

 

[NolaMel]

Want a rum that’s very rummy and not a coil killer. Favs anyone?

Not to me. the raisin is top.

So far I'm liking the VT Light Rum.
