Random DIY mixing and More

[Sugar_and_Spice]

I am annoyed with BCF for the first time ever. They shipped my package FedEx SmartPost, which takes longer than just shipping USPS to begin with. It looks like now I won't get my Labor Day sale package until next Tuesday. First Class mail makes it across the country in two days. Oh well - I am SO tired that I probably wouldn't have felt like messing with the two new recipes I want to work on. My daughter has a trial this week and I am exhausted! She is out of here at the crack of dawn and gets home very late. Keeping house and caring for the three kiddos is SO much harder than I remembered. Of course, I have my month long vacation coming up when I get to fly home and take care of my other daughter and her newborn. I know how to have fun! Seriously, it is an honor to be so involved in my grandchildren's' lives.

Just remember to take care of you "too". Can't take care of anyone else if you are down for the count.....

Thanks for that! I go to bed early after I eat a handful of the M&Ms that I hid away.

Yeah,I lost interest.

Theres a tobacco recipe on that site..... by MGrimes called shisha apple leaf that has me hooked on tobacco again. The apple will fade after about a week or so but until then it is so yummy.

@ceeceeisme , we’ve been enjoying your Strawberry Cheesecake Crumble I did add 1.5% CAP Cereal 27 for a crunchy crumble topping. Being it needs very little steep is also a plus. I have a bit of trouble with strawberries usually but not in this mix. I’m wondering if adding a couple drops of alpine strawberry will brighten the sb further. It’s tasty though and happy I found it! Thanks

Glad you like it!! If you try adding Alpine Strawberry let me know how it interacts with the other flavors. I don't have Alpine Strawberry yet - can't justify the price to have yet another strawberry flavor in my stash. I do figure someday I may tire of INW Shisha Strawberry so it might be good to have something to fall back on.

Apple is a flavor I can't taste

So I got my latest Chef's order really fast and everything smells really good except VTA Jackfruit

It is the most vile smelling concentrate I've ever had the displeasure of whiffing.
It smells like a cross between baby puke and smelly old horse

= VTA Jackfruit

You need to smell the vt blueberry milkshake.

That's what my son uses, exclusively now (he has fibromyalgia and interstitial cystitis and used to be on SO MANY meds, but that is "all" he now takes, at one point he was on like 11 different things, and finally I got to the point where I was like, "This is insane" (autoimmune things run in my family and no, I don't think he was faking and he's not real recreational about it.) Sorry to be off topic but it's worth asking about.

Sorry sorry.

Wish it worked for my fibro but I get the opposite effect.

I’m envious of everyone that put a BCF order in early. I waited until Saturday knowing that the next 2 days were holidays. So I’m not getting my new stash until Saturday

I did bump up all percentages by 25% for sub ohm vaping / personal preference, but this is the recipe as intended. As I mentioned, I also added 1.5% of CAP Cereal 27 for a crunchy crumble topping. Mine had a total of 12.43%. I mixed 30ml on 9-1 and it’s already gone

Strawberry Cheesecake Crumble V3

- by ceeceeisme

1.25% Juicy Strawberry (FA)
1.5% Shortbread (INAWERA)
2% Strawberry Shisha (INAWERA)
.25% Super Sweet (CAP)
.75% Vanilla Shisha (INAWERA)
3% Yes, We Cheesecake YC (INAWERA)

PG/VG-ratio: 35/65
Flavor total: 4.38 ml / 4.38g (8.75%)

Notes

A pretty simple concept here - strawberry cheesecake with a crumble topping. Simple, but delicious.

Flavor Notes:

INW Shisha Strawberry/FA Juicy Strawberry: these two strawberries are about my favorite SB combination these days. The work incredibly well together at these percentages to give you a sweet strawberry flavor that is not overly artificial and is lightly sweet.

INW Yes We Cheesecake/Shortbread/Shisha Vanilla: a trifecta of perfection and a wonderful base for just about any fruit you want to sub in here. YWC is more of a European cheesecake flavor and strikes a nice balance between cheesey and creamy without any of those stinky cheese feet notes you can get with TPA Cheesecake (Graham Crust). The Shortbread adds the buttery crumble topping here and the Shisha Vanilla lifts both the cheesecake and the shortbread.

Capella Super Sweet: at 0.25% this additive helps to bind everything together. I freely admit I love a sweet vape but if you like a less sweet vape, feel free to omit.

The beauty of YWC is it really doesn't need to age to shine - allow this mix for to rest for 24 hours then enjoy.

Where did you find the INW Shortbread? BCF does not have it.

Thanks

I'm terribly afraid to but I do remember @hittman saying just about the same thing for the VTA Blueberry Milkshake. I think I'll work my way up to it eventually but I'm in no hurry right now.

You could just put on your nose plug and mix a sample and let it steep for a couple weeks.

The sniff test was such a bad experience it may take me a couple of weeks to forget about it.

I honestly don't know how anything that smells that bad could possibly steep out into a tasty flavor.

 

[FranC]

I don't generally sniff my flavors but I was curious as to what the OOO Cornbread smelled like.It doesn't smell horrible but it doesn't smell good either. Hope it tastes better.

LOL. I felt the same way about the VT Blueberry Milkshake.......mine is way in the back of a very dark cabinet........but Hitt says he likes it......but he mixed without noticing the flavoring smell first. Don't know how he could have missed it, its was enough to send my stomach into dry heaves......

Just know you are not alone.....lol

Well, I won't be smelling it directly from the bottle again, that's for sure. I'm willing to try a single flavor test though so I will mix one up this weekend and let it sit for a while to see what happens.

I got vt milkshake base on my latest order. I haven’t opened it yet but you know I’m going to have to sniff it.

 

[FranC]

I had the opposite experience a few years back. I've forgotten now if it was a flavor or a vendor juice but it was a heavenly smelling coffee.The taste was enough to send you running for the bathroom. Sent it to a friend with a warning and it tasted the same to her.

I got back to Cereal Killer today. I replaced the faded Pom with Rhubarb. Pretty tasty so far.
