Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Sunday plans folks? Other than the dreaded grocery shopping? LOL

I hope to try a couple more testers though it's not high on my excitement list. Hope to get Peanut Butter cookie mixed. Also hoping to try a new mix or two.ATM I have the energy of a slug so I don't know how much of that will get done.

Today is mixing day for me - I have 14 testers and/or recipes to mix up. It's also tank washing day, laundry day and grass mowing day. I have a busy day ahead and have only slightly more energy than a slug.

Pudding Base (VTA) 2%
Toffee Ice Cream (VTA) 3.5%

Sure hope our collective energy level improves..............

I know that's too sweet but it sounds tasty

Once I get my coffee into me and get moving I'm sure it'll help.

This looks really good but of course I'm missing the VTA Toffee Ice Cream. I'll put it on the wish list for Labor Day when I may or may not do another flavor order. In the meantime I may mix this up and sub INW Horned Toffee (that is if my Inawera package ever arrives).

 

[FranC]

Yeah,I'm hoping enough coffee will help...............

Other than the Yellow Cake (FW), nothing in there is particularly sweet, if you omit the sweetener... The original recipe didn't have either... Of course, you have to take into consideration who your talking to...

I was thinking more of the Toffee Ice Cream.

Sounds good... I don't have the Horned Toffee, but I really like that flavor profile. If you happen to mix it up, I would love to know how it goes for you... Maybe a flavor I need to get...

Dragged 9 bottles out of my drawer as next up to try.

I don't find the Toffee Ice Cream sweet per-say, but it is very rich & flavorful. Most of the VTA bakery type flavors I have, I don't consider particularly sweet. Of course everyone's tastes vary & your perception may be quite different than mine...

Patience, what is this thing? I'm amazed at how long some steep a recipe before tasting it. Some I give 2-3 days, others may get a week depending on how many are in my stash and if I have a hankering for a new flavor (I'm looking at you PomPudding). If I think I'll like the flavor profile, I make a 30ml tester and then keep going back to it over time to see how it ages and figure out the point in time I like it best. I tend to like most mixes at 2-4 weeks more than 6-8wks.

Also sad to report - no G&T in my mailbox today..

Those are frequently the ones that I vape up before the appointed steep time ends. I give them a week to ten days and start tasting small amounts to get a feel for flavor. Sometimes recommended mix ratios end up being too high or low and I adjust as needed. Notes are a big help in the long run. A notebook can be valuable over time.

Will do! I expect to have my Inawera order by the end of this week. It's been almost a month since I ordered and I've never had to wait this long for a shipment from Europe.

I'll keep that in mind...ty

I wicked a couple coils,made a label for my PB Cookie in case I mix.Trying my version of Dark Berry Cheesecake and liking it. Think I'll just sit back and vape it for awhile.

Don't look at me. I overslept forgot to make the coffee last night and ache from head to toe. But I'm determined to make a few 15 ml boozy flavors at some point if and when I wake up.

I don't want to go grocery shopping except for one THING. I hate that so much, LOL there are disadvantages to going a bit rural. LOL.

I want to make a couple cheesecake recipes today and can’t decide whether to use purilum, tfa, or cap. I’m going to make Fran’s blood orange cheesecake and sub Greek yogurt for the brie and want to sub the orange for juicy raspberry in a second mix.
