Random DIY mixing and More

[IDJoel]

I'm just curious if it's supposed to be a booze flavor. The image on the website makes it look like it's a mixed drink flavor. I just haven't been able to use booze flavors.

I was thinking along the same line as @PJReid. If you look at many of the "cranberry" juice labels found in grocery stores; you are likely to find a lot of them labeled as "cranberry cocktail." Then, if you look at the ingredients list of those "cocktail" offerings; you will find heavy use of pear, grape, and/or apple juices in them. Sometimes even at higher percentages than the named cranberry. They seem (to me), to be less about creating true flavor blends (like cran-raspberry, or cran-grape), and more about softening the natural sharpness of cranberry, and adding sweetness.

In other words; a "cranberry cocktail" is less than 100% cranberry.

Maybe (and this is a complete wild-rumped guess), Wonder Flavours has created something similar, by combining a cranberry with one (or more) additional fruits?

Hopefully... Fran's (and other's) testing and reviews, will reveal the truth.

I need to mix some more OOO cheesecake. I might mix 30ml with just raspberry like I did at first and then try some graham with it or maybe just some sweetener.

Exactly what did you mix and how long did you steep?

My UA got processed, so they called me about the Adderall and Costco my poor husband they do bad with like, the date dispensed so he was out take 70 pictures and like, I was like, "Why don't you just darken that area there with your photoshop" and like, well, he was like, "So you want me to SCREW AROUND with your picture and edit it is that what you were saying?" and I had to be like, "Oh well I guess I didn't think that one through..." so then 60 pictures later he hands me this beautiful set of files and like, I'm like, "Isn't that going to be too big?" and he was going on about file shrinkage and he knew what he was doing so I sent it.....

To the wrong place, but apparently TO SOMEWHERE since it didn't bounce back so I have no clue who else may have confirmation of my ADHD but someone does. The dude called me this morning all like "Eh eh, you gonna send your prescription or what?" So, I had a letter wrong.

I'd say I didn't just confirm my ADHD, I demonstrated I am supposed to email the credentials lady and my supervisor Monday to find out Whut is Whut.

God, I hope it goes, my mom just sold her last house in Tucson (yeah, she's a boomer mogul) and then transferred me money that I was like pathetically grateful to receive.

So yeah I bet I find out mid week next week giving me four days to prepare. I am GOING to start getting up on Monday at 5 a.m. though.....

Sigh. I have never had a job start date happen like THIS can't say I'm a fan. I mean I could have been hired 73 times over in this amount of time, but like, you can't. LOL.

Anna,you usually confuse me but I still have fingers crossed that this job works out good for you.

I sure can let everyone know how sweet it is.....LOL

I'm sorry to confuse I am having a really confused day actually.

But pretty much I still have no idea. If you do what this job is, they want you to be able to bill insurance companies, so the COMPANY puts in applications to all the insurance companies and most take about 60 days (some up to 6 months) but you have to have 75% of your credentialing done before you can start. Hence my over "60 days away" start date. Lots of SW jobs don't require this, this happens to be one that does. So that has to be "more or less" complete.

Then you have a background check including drug testing. That usually takes a while, but not as long.

This time around, they did not start my background check because somehow it got lost in some new employee shuffle. When I called a couple weeks ago, the HR lady was like "OOOH looks like we haven't started this yet," so I am left very clueless IF

75% of my insurance companies will add me as a provider OR
If my background check will come back OK. It should. But who knows.

Hence my supreme lack of knowledge right until the end but it's just not "GOOD" to yell at an HR lady for totally missing to start something.

Also, they send you an "offer" letter and well, THAT states "your start date will be on this date... or later." And it also says if you don't follow through until THEY say you are done, well, you have to pay for all the labor and whatever involved it's expensive.

It's a really great job, but it's been... I have never looked for work THIS LONG without actually achieving it, let me put it this way. BUT, if I do wind up working there, it will have been worth the wait. I guess.

I hope that made more sense.

Yes,that made sense. Still seems like they expect way to much.

 

[stols001]

Yeah I'd be a bit more miffed, only they are paying me like 20K more than any past job and the best benefits and etc. They're also really high up on the chain for what they do compared to most other places (like top 5% in the nation) and I really liked everyone I met and stuff, so I'm trying to remain chill about it. Trying. Also, if I do not get out of Tucson by the next year, I don't think I will be happy, it's getting really bad here. Also I like that area of the country, etc. It's just... You can't be like, "Hurry up and hire me because I am so poor!" I mean, I guess you could but like, it's probably not advisable.

K. Yoga and maybe only half but my goal will be not harming me. LOL

Exactly what did you mix and how long did you steep?

It was just 6% cheesecake and 4% juicy raspberry. I actually like it ok like that but feel like it could be better with something else added.

 

[hittman]

I got home and the long stainless 10ga needles I ordered are here. I’ll give one a try tomorrow.

Ok,ty

Let me know how it goes. I am curious on how the length may or may not affect the pull. I did do some mixing today and for the first time used the wider ss needle to pull already made ejuice. As expected, that was easy because it was already a 50/50 mix. I get the vacuum and hard to pull from the nic base from a large bottle like you. I have mostly vg nic base so you know that's hard to pull, especially if you get impatient for it to warm up to room temp(like I sometimes do).

 

[FranC]

Guess I'm lucky I can have my mostly Pg nic base.

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

Guess I'm lucky I can have my mostly Pg nic base.

If I made my mixes with mostly pg I don't think I could get my wicks fat enough not to leak in my rba's or rta's. lol

 

[FranC]

Mine don't leak with approx. 20%VG.

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

Mine don't leak with approx. 20%VG.

I remember once I must of mixed up my pg/vg ratio in a mix I did and I noticed how much thinner it was than I was used to, but went ahead and filled a tank anyway.. Tried to vape it... What a mess, leaked everywhere. lol. Thank goodness I haven't done that again.

 

[FranC]

I'm going to make the effort to get back to my tobacco blends tomorrow. Hopefully it will work cause I haven't wanted to vape them the last few days.

LOL. Can't say as I've ever had the pleasure.
