    Any mixing,tasting,etc plans today,folks? I think I had a plan but I've forgotten it.....................

    Have a TFA Plum tester that's 10 days steeped today. I may try it. Have 4 more testers that will be 10 days in another 2 days.(including the Pink Panther).

    I need to mix another bottle of Raisin Rum Mix for steeping but there's no big hurry on that.

    I had a Pom Raisin Tea I trashed awhile back. Maybe I'll do a remix. I do like the Raisin Rum Flavor.

    Was going to mix a different Peanut Butter Baccy but seem to have misplaced the dang recipe.

    I just wanted to say hi and let you all know I haven’t forgotten about you. I’ve been recovering from a most unpleasant yellow jacket attack. I’ll be back soon enough but not really up to it yet. Looking forward!

    We have yellow jackets on our property, also. Those little yellow yellow jacket traps sold at Ace Hardware are your friend. They helped tremendously on our property. Once the little packet is used up, just use Apple juice in the trap and they flock to it. Keep one armed and ready in the Spring and Summer and your YJ problem will disappear. I've seen the trap 3 inches deep in drowned Yellow Jackets. They go in and can't get out, so they stack up inside and wither away. The entrance is a cone shaped hole. They enter the big end and crawl inside. To exit through the small end they have to fly up to get into it and their wings won't fit while they are fluttering.

    I still haven't tried the single flavor testers from my july 4th order. I may try to get some of those out tonight or tomorrow to try. I forgot about the blood orange I've been wanting to try.

    Tank maintenance and building this morning and hoping to knock out a few mixes this afternoon.

    INW plum, I like it but some won't. Floral but not soapy, plum is more present than the FA but still not as plummy as I would like. Mixed the 12th, if the plum doesn't come more forward I'll order the ooo and MF plums since I'm enjoying a plum vape. RF SC sugar plum up next.

    We used to be plagued with yellow jackets. Over a few seasons those traps have dwindled the YJ population to almost nothing. If we see one these days we juice up a trap. This season, none so far, but August is when they begin to hatch out. At least that's our experience. By October they are all over if not controlled.

    I found the PB recipe.Thought it was a tobacco blend but it's not. It's a bourbon blend and I don't know about peanuts and bourbon?? Any thoughts on that?
    Sounds vapable to me. Pecans and bourbon pair nicely and bourbon brown butter sauce is very good. I think it could work very well.

    Well I used to like strawberry alot. Still like it but not nearly as much as I used to. However I am enjoying the Raspberry. I always forget those One Drop flavors I got. I do have the Raspberry and the Blue Raspberry. Has anyone tried those?
    I only tried the BB, at first maybe for a couple of days, it was good, then ending up pouring my mix out.... it turned bitter. yuck.

    :)

    I wanted some Sweet Rice, so I put an order in in ECX... added coconut (needed), two more bourbons and a whisky (want to see if I can mix them together to get a more realistic bourbon). And another CC. Crud, AND just realized I forgot Oak...
    SIL, father of gbaby due in 10 days ( :wub::w00t::wub::w00t:) loves Fireball whiskey. I want to try and make it in juice. Ordered caramel cinnamon roll And red hots ( both FW). Thinking the caramel will dual role as the brown sugar flavor????? I found a recipe by SmokyBlue, but Id have to order flavors I know I won’t use again if he doesn’t like this.

    Need advice. I’ve never tasted Fireball, so I’m trying to replicate an unknown. Help???

    In 6 months of vaping I've only tried a fruit based ejuice once. It had pineapple, was horrible and took all day for me to get rid of the taste ;)

    I've got FLV Berry blend, tfa strawberry orig & ripe, and lots of other fruit concentrates.

    So my next mission is to make a fruity ice cream :)

    So, what's the best RY4 recipe that anyone has ever experienced? I saw one that looked really good, but can't find it. It had several ingredients. I guess the time to copy and save it is when you see it. (Loosely quoting Frank from Antique Archaeology and America Pickers)

    RY4 (Hangsen) 5%

    Vanilla Ice Cream (LB) 2.75%
    Vanilla Shisha (INW) 1.75%
    Caramel Toffee (Hangsen) 1.25%
    Hazelnut (FW) 1.25%
    Acetyl Pyrazine 5% (TPA) 0.2%

    Age 30 days... :cool:

    Don't anyone try this yet. It's mixed and steeping after being thoroughly blended with the milk frother. If it's good I'll name it. Right now it's "Potluck RY4". I'm Hoping that the CAP Vanilla Cupcake, and the CAP Sugar Cookie will add flavor and mouth feel, being that they are bakery flavors. I may have to add more Capella Caramel, but we'll see. Aroma right after mixing is mostly the RY4 scent with definite caramel and sweet Vanilla Cupcake aroma, but more of the other ingredients may eventually be needed.

    -----------------------------
    Dave's RY4 Double trial
    -----------------------------
    TFA RY4 Double 9%
    Capella Caramel .5%
    TFA Vanilla Cupcake .5%
    Capella Sugar Cookie .5%
