How about guava star? Glad someone else can’t taste the rum in it. I decided not to try it in anything else because of that. I need to find a recipe without something as dominant as pink guava to try it in. Maybe that’s what is squashing it
That works. lol
Either the guava or the star fruit is more sweet than what we can tell here? Dunno your guess is as good as mine. LOL

This is interesting....btw, I cannot taste the rum in this either. Since you did not give it a name, I called it StarMel in my recipe book. Or maybe if you like MelStar better we can call it that? You pick. LOL

:)
Maybe you can fix the recipe for me. It’s close, but mmmm. Dunno

I wanted the rum to work. Get the zing from boozy. Maybe order the vodka and try it? I thought about a touch of lime, but pink guava has a bit of bite to it to me
Yes it does. How about a couple drops of cinn? Not red hots tho. lol

Vodka would work as well as a white wine. Lime or lemon too. FE lemon would be good. Pretty strong.

ok I went looking for what goes with starfruit. Vodka should have probably been the boozy, not so much the rum. It goes with citrus fruits, orange or tangerine would be good to pair with. Can also go well with apple flavors. Seems pretty versatile. Naturally has sweet/sour tones to it. You are right about the pear seems to make it a bit sweeter.

I think maybe a remake using the vodka would give it a whole new taste. I put the vodka on my wish list...lol

I’ll order vodka. Need to get a list together tomorrow anyway. Maybe some of the soda base....Or vta sherbet? Hate to use up my soda base Just in case... I like the star fruit/pink guava as the starter though.

I agree for the starter. Its good.....have you considered maybe just adding a little more of the lite rum. maybe like .025% to see if that helps?

Could have, but I only have enough left to seed a remix. That should nullify the pear, and since the rum didn’t show up, it’s not a player either. I’m going to order vodka tomorrow and remix when it arrives. I’m out of jasmine too. I just need to sit down and figure out what I really need, and what to get bigger bottles of.

Ok. I have a huge wishlist at BCF but not quite ready to order yet. In the meantime, I am enjoying this mix. Its different and the more I vape it, I am liking it more. Too bad about the lite rum tho. It really shows up in Fran's mix of her Fizzy Rum. Only thing missing from hers' is the fizzy. lol

I'm saying the only thing I can vape the mix in is a carto tank cause it's way too sweet in any other tank.

Says a lot about the flavor performance of cartos. And why I never really liked them. :)

I had 3 empty bottles of hubs baccys to remix for days. Finally got them done today. Easy one flavor mixes and I was putting it off.

Takes almost as long to do an sft as a multi-flavor brew, and not near as much fun!

What’s ABC?

First three letters of the English alphabet?

Resellers will not be affected by this change.

Don't. Resellers can rebottle the super concentrated flavors in 10ml sizes. I think they used the FDA as an excuse of launching another company to sell directly to us. I see this as a non-starter. But time will tell.

:)

My thoughts as well, with the snip from the blurb. May just need to track down what the reseller calls it. Just won't be able to get a 10ml bottle direct from the source.

Exactly and won't be able to get any of the concentrated from the source either. At least that's the way I am reading it. But there is always the resellers and if there is enough demand for it, they will rebottle it.

Obviously I did too, even without the boozy... almost 30 ml gone. I’m waffling on the pear. I may just drop the %, change to vodka and MAYBE add a couple drops of lime tahity. See what that does. I don’t want to change too many variables at once since I like it almost as it is. It’s just missing a kicker somewhere

Maybe do some testers? 1 with less pear, 1 with vodka, etc.etc. I bought a bunch of the 5mls tester bottles with the little needle tops a while back. If you want a few, pm me.

    Oh and my wishlist still remains small. I'm at 11 items now because I added another bottle of Mascarpone Cheese and FLV Raisin Rum just to make me feel safer. I think the Mascarpone Cheese is going to work out great and I love the taste of the Raisin Rum.

    Happy my notes are good enough that my new flavors are pretty identical. GAH to the FDA I hope this isn't a trend but I am too busy swilling coffee to speculate. Sadly. However since job and stress I am not going to buy any flavors RIGHT NOW, also I am vaping a heck of a lot less and while snus does the job it is kind of... Hard.

    Still don't know my actual office location and what I have been told terrifies me although they are "trying to find somewhere else" apparently. General update cross posted but I wanted to say HI EVERYONE on this thread, too.

    Drinking coffee on a small cutting board with all my mods on it (carpet, plus no actual furniture YET, gonna make the husband bring me up some end tables. A spill would be catastrophic.

    Yesterday was my version of like, orientation hell, I managed to send myself toward the wrong site and had to turn around and was late. God. I'm sure they all think I'm an idiot. However, I will note it is very hard to learn medical software when they change the template and NO ONE gets it, etc. We have a training on Wed, it's so bad, what they did. At least I was not alone in my errorz…..

    Settling in oven fixed (it was not plugged in) and etc. I ate too late but I am finally AT LAST (yesterday I was at another location than my real site) on my 8 minute commute. I did do 20 minutes of yoga and am so glad I DID. Because it was really hard. Gonna shoot for an hour today and then like, hole up in the apartment, I organize it a bit more each day.

    I still haven't even had time to CHARGE my new batteries! A pod win is coming today but I will not get to see it because well, I just won't. It's all good though, a little easier every day. Just don't want to get manic with all the changes but I think some early waking is normal (for me) under stress.

    Also had a vaping dream and have not smoked since my "four of stress" last week. I haven't had time to buy a pack in any case. I also dream when stressed so TRYING to enjoy it. LOL.

    I meant to mix the two horchata flavors last night to get a few day steep on them for the weekend but wasn't able to find time. I had to get the garage cleaned out so I could get a new garage door installed today. I was thinking that I could probably buy every flavor made with what I have to pay for the garage door. First world problems and all.:D
