Random DIY mixing and More

[ceeceeisme]

The A+ and Aged Burley are good solo. But then again so are the Hangsen tobaccos and they're cheaper. I'm so far not impressed with the Stixx Whiskey Cavendish.

What percentage did you mix it at and how long did you give it to steep?

Ah yes good old bottle wash day. I really try to stay on top of mine before the thin layer of baked on crud of the last film of eliquid emerges.... I am not always successful. LOL.

Fortunately, I seem to have no problems getting labels off, it's more like keeping labels ON. Masking tape and a really new black sharpie seems to be doing the trick the MOST so far....

I use white office labels, sharpie, then wrap with clear/scotch tape. I had success with that in the lab on chemical solutions in droppers, and it seems durable for juices. Labels have to be soaked off though. If I’m in a hurry, I’ll label over the first one.

I use a Brother P-Touch thingy.
If I don't re-make a flavor I can re-name it once by using a Sharpie over it and cover with clear tape.
Peels off nicely.

this stuff sounds complicated.... all I do is soak some tobacco in Everclear and add nic and VG and evaporate the Everclear off...

That sounds like too much work

Besides, I can't get Everclear here in Canada.

The difference is, you’re organized and I’m lazy . I write the recipe on the bottle and make adjustment notes on the label. If I’m happy with it at the end, I transfer the final recipe to the notebook. I’m still in the early mixing stages of moving from good recipes to “wow, I want to make a litre of this”. So, the recipe is their only name so far.

not really...most times it's written on a piece of paper (the recipe) and rubber banded to the bottle

It’s not complicated really. I usually use and adjust recipes someone else created. Mixing is a pretty quick process

Label is a label in my book. One of my first mix sessions I forgot to label the last few sft before putting them in the box.

...I am so ashamed

Why? Because I can’t keep up with a piece of paper or even find a rubber band ???

2 weeks old now. Whiskey Cavendish 8% and Aged Burley 5%

Mixed up 30ml of this today...

Cheesecake Wheel Slice 1 - Caramel Toffee Swirl (WIP)
New York Cheesecake (PUR) 4%
Cheesecake Graham (PUR) 2%
Toffee Ice Cream (VTA) 1.75%
Italian Cream (Hangsen) 1.5%
Caramel Toffee (Hangsen) 1.25%
Vanilla Ice Cream (LB) .5%
Biscuit (INW) 0.5%

It will likely need some tweaks, but it's a start...

Thank you much. I can work with that

Blood Orange Cheesecake is pretty good. Surprised cause I didn't care for the Tangerine Cheesecake. Grapefruit Rum is very grapefruity but I mixed it that way,so far pretty tasty. Orange Rum Tobacco pretty good also. I was losing hope for Orange so now I have hope again.

Did you already post the recipe for the blood orange cheesecake? I want to try that one if I have all the flavors.

What %s for grapefruit rum pleeeeeease? Does it have to steep long?
Also, how much blood orange did you add to your CC? That sounds better than cherry/pink panther. I’ve been trying to pick something to add, nothing pinged my tastebuds til you said blood orange

I still don't know what the below is...

I have a Mystery 30ml bottle of something that I have no clue what it is.
It's fresh-ish as it was on my laptop stand...
Not one hint as to what it is...but it's good.

I think it's a fruit...

Good grief - I gotta start getting labels on things.
