Random DIY mixing and More

[stols001]

Adjustment does take time, and I think I'm doing okay. Everyone (except the IT guy) likes me and I was dealing with head honcho's wife's patients yesterday but she's nice, and well, I'm perfectly competent I just need speed/practice and all the providers are like, "Too bad for that, we seem to like you and keep sending you on difficult assignations and running you from pillar to post."

I mean, it would be worse to be sitting in a corner quietly ignored, etc. I really like everyone except my IT DUDE (but it's good to identify your SUPER WORK ENEMY early on, in my opinion, because then you can focus and target your like, stress AT that person (quietly).

So yeah, it IS going good, I have not SMOKED and also my hotspot is doing fine, the husband fixed it and also said it had been mysteriously connected to the Roku in Tucson all the time (spooky) but I guess it will be powerful ENOUGH for my needs

LOL I feel like a refugee all at home with travels. LOL I am trying to treat it as an exciting adventure it kind of is. I just wish we were up there permanently but the husband freaks every time I discuss moving it along.

Talked to the kiddo last night, he is doing well.

Soon, snus. LOL. I am enjoying the peace and quiet and etc.

But that doesn't really address the taste or even how you like the taste. I guess refilling the tank suggests you do but.......lol

Yeah,if I didn't like it I wouldn't have refilled. Silly girl

Hopefully your husband will get in moving mode before too long.

I know that. lol......I was trying to get you to describe vaping basil. I use the spice in cooking but skipped the one on BC bc somehow I could not envision vaping it.

After I rewick,think I’ll pull out my basil mix. Thanks y’all for reminding me

 

[FranC]

Well,it doesn't taste like actual Basil to me but it does give the fruit some zip. I guess you'd have to try it. I did a few mixes with it when I first got it. Think the Fruit and Basil is the only one that made it. I'll have to get back to it one day but I'm on a chocolate kick ATM.

Will you tell me what it taste like?

Maybe you can describe it better for Sugar

I dug out the recipe. It's a strange one.

Fruit and Basil
FLV Basil .4%
Cap Cucumber 2%
INW Rhubarb 2%
WS-23 .5%

Thanks for posting that,David I have no plans on getting the Black Honey baccy but it gives me a good idea........

Any other tobacco could be subbed, of course. Just a starting point

Just for the record, Black Honey Tobacco isn't a obvious tobacco flavor. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, you won't even find it listed that way anymore. I believe TFA now just calls it Black Honey. It's a good flavor IMHO but I'm not sure how your buds would interpret it.

I get a crisp, soft “green” background boost to the fruits. It doesn’t taste like basil particularly, just has a “fresh” sense to it. YMMV, since I also like Zen ( more earthy, herby, deeper than basil). Basil to me is light/bright, unlike the deep, herby flavors of teas... if that helps.

I have used FLV Basil is a few mixes. It worked well for me in a pineapple champagne mix. I also like it with berries. The flavor is fresh and adds a little something, something to the mix. It is nice in a mix with VTA Botanical Gin. I don't consider it essential but it a nice herb for changing things up a bit. Fresh and green is a good description. It should work in anything that you would put mint in. I don't think I did an sft on that one figuring I would try it out by using it in a mix that would work well with basil. Should have done an sft.

Was it you that said VTA golden rum tasted like BBQ? I’m still in a stare down with the bottle trying to figure out whether to waste the time to do a super small sample. I was thinking of adding a touch of Oak Wood and maybe a drop of lemon. Either I’ll end up with smoky bbq, or I don’t know. The flavors of bbq varies so much across the US, I don’t know if I’m up against grocery store bottled tomato-y sauce, east coast tangy, or southern mollasses sweet.

Since everyones taste is different just do a sft on it and see what you think before adding anything to it.

Not sure. I like the FLV Milk and Honey??

You are much better at flavor descriptions than I am. Thank you

Yes, but not just me. It was discussed on a Noted episode and all of the "experts" had that opinion. I actually got more of a watered down ketchup flavor than a barbecue sauce. All of that said, in the right mix, with a steep, it could be just the thing. IDK

That’s what I was looking for, ty . I looked at the quip on the boozy flavors review, but what I needed was a live person to ‘splain it clearer. To me, that’s one of the most invaluable parts of this thread... proof that too many cooks DON’T spoil the “broth”
