    Honestly, i can barely taste the lemon as it is. Even with 2 different lemons in the mix. Like i said, its an experiment at this point but im gonna follow those lines and come up with a fruit medely that will be memorable.

    You might try FE Lemon. According to PJ, the VT sour lemon is really good too. I have it but haven't tried it yet.

    If you can't wait for a sale elsewhere, OSDIY's 9th Anniversary Sale for 20% off is still going on, until midnight Sunday. CF aren't included, but you might want to check and see if they carry the flavorings on your Wish List so far. That 20% off discount is a good one! Use ECF or JFK on the Shopping Cart page.

    Thanks for the heads up but they don't have most of the flavors on my list. It would have been nice to get 20 off of the order.

    I have mixing plans if not today, soon. Want all my must haves/sure things ready to go and steeping for a bit, since so far work appears as if it MAY be a go. Did all my bills yesterday OH GOD but I was sick anyway, so figured great time to do it. Purchased checks for the first time in oh, a decade, since I guess my new job wants an ACTUAL check for direct deposit. Sigh. Although I was up in Bisbee at a Dollar General and saw a Real Live Person in the flesh using one to buy stuff. The clerk had no idea what to do! I was like, "Little Old Lady, I have not seen this kind of check action in YEARS!" She just laughed, and said, "I don't care for chips." Between the two of us (little old lady and me) we managed to coach/handhold the cashier through it, I have processed MANY a check in retail field only IN HIGH SCHOOL.

    So much little town action made me happy, so I ordered checks, etc. I hope it goes, I feel BETTER hopefully enough for yoga but if not, well, mixing. Apparently a doctor's visit to be told I merely had a virus and my lungs were "clear" (CLEAR, have not heard my lungs described that way in 4 years probably, LOL) and to go home and recover was what it took.

    I did an experiment tonite.

    Peaches and cream
    Lemon
    Lemon sicily
    Strawberry ripe
    Juicy pineapple
    Honeydew

    All at 2% each. At first taste, ill have to say not bad. Made a 30ml test batch and gonna let it steep a good bit. I think it needs another fruit profile but these are all i have on hand just now. Im thinking maybe dragonfruit. Feels like it needs another "red" flavor..

    Try FE Lemon as your main lemon and if you want some sour in there, VTA Sour Lemon is wonderful but will fade, just not as quickly as some. INW Lemon Shisha is a good lemon and supposedly doesn't fade as badly as most. You might replace the Lemon Sicily with that. Just a suggestion since you said in a later post you have trouble tasting lemons.

    TGIF,any Friday plans folks? I think it's safe to say I have an ADV quality mix with the Cereal Bar. Happy about that.Plan to move on and try a couple something elses today. My 1st version Peanut Butter Tobacco is gone other than what's left in my tank. I vaped the whole 30ml. That's up for remix but I'm in no big hurry right now.

    Packing, cleaning my room for my son-in-law's mother, along with my usual childcare. It is going to be hectic. I wish I had made my flight for Sunday instead of early tomorrow morning. Oh well.

    Good Saturday morning,folks:) When I was looking for something different to vape yesterday I picked up and put back several bottles of steeped stuff til I found something I wanted to vape. Some were baccys I didn't want at the time but a few I just didn't want. So today I have to pick out those unwanted mixes and try them again.

    I have a Pumpkin Cheesecake I don't like much. I used TFA Pumpkin (no spice). It has a kind of sharp taste to it and with 3% INW Custard it's not sweet at all. The sharp taste has to come from the pumpkin cause there's nothing else that would cause it. It has me so curious I may do a remix sometime and drop the pumpkin %.

    I have sworn off pumpkin this year. I played with it so much last year that I just got burned out on it. This time Im playing with FLV yam. Trying to get my fall flavor right which is candied yams with toasted marshmallow topping. So far its a flop but I havent given up.

    Did you get the newer TFA Pumpkin flavor? I found it on NR. It has no spice in it.

    The yam is more like what we call a sweet potato. Its is already kind of sweet like a candied yam would be until you get up in the percentages. Its really dependent on percentage. 3% is to much and it gets to earthy if that makes sense. I think 2.5-3% might be the ticket if backed up with a small percentage of HS pumpkin pie. I really think Im going to order some HS pumpkin pie to blend with it to see if I can get to that candied yam profile without having to add ten ingredients. Its just a fall thing as I really dont care to vape stuff like this on a daily basis but its a fun profile to play with.
