Anna hope your eye(s) is feeling better today. A corneal scratch can be painful. Unfortunately I know from 1st hand experience.

How did you hurt your back?

Eye's fine now. Thankfully. Finding an optometrist here would have been a PITA.

No idea about the back maybe lugging my suitcase down a flight of stairs? It still hurt but I went on the operating principle, you rested, now you yoga. Seemed to help actually I plan to do it again this morning. LOL.

    No idea. I pulled too many possibilities. A grapefruit boozy, and a cookie maybe? Or vanilla milkshake if I can find it. I just don’t know. My brain is a little lost right now. Hubs woke me at 5 am to tell me one of our dogs wasn’t “right”. She crossed the rainbow bridge tonight, and it was after 7 before we got home from the vets.
    So sorry. My thoughts are with you :wub:

    I had a bit of fun with flavors. I got settled in a rut with about 10 flavors I liked. One thing that never worked for me was fruit, I just couldn't taste it. Haven't tried for a couple of years. Last week I was going through my box of flavorings getting rid of ones I never used. Almost dumped all my fruit flavors, but I decided to give it one last try.

    I made a bottle of mixed fruit. Used a lot. 7% each papaya and mango, 4% juicy peach, with some sweet cream and sweetener. That's a lot higher % flavor than I normally use, I stick to around 10%. I tried it out last night and it was delicious. First time I ever really got the fruit taste. Now I think I'll try it again, with just one fruit so I can hopefully taste what it is. Guess for me it just takes a lot of flavoring to make fruit work.

    It also depends on what maker you are using too. TFA and FW and Real Flavors are mostly med-weak concentrations so therefore need more to taste them. If you use FLV, CAP, FA they tend to be more concentrated so therefore you probably can use less to achieve the same results. Each flavor is different so therefore testing is almost always beneficial.

    YMMV

    I think it's funny that most peeps are looking to mix bigger bottles of juice and I'm wanting to mix smaller. I guess it's because I don't normally use big juice sucking tanks. The small tanks I prefer are juice sippers so it takes me forever to get through a 30ml mix,especially when I have several of them. Some juices are good for a long time but others don't taste so good after a certain age. I'd be happy to mix almost everything in 15ml bottles
    I usually do 30. The only 60 or more I do is cheesecake base since I use it to make others. And I hate waiting for steeping.

    If you have mixes you use everyday, it is just as easy to make 2 bottles and put 1 back to steep while using the other one. Then when you go to grab the 2nd bottle make 1 more to steep and so on. You will then always have something to vape and steeping is no longer a problem.

    One of my ADV's gets 2 120ml bottles and the other gets 2 60's. Small for everything else. My main problem is I have too much mixed and I need to vape at least most of it up.After I accomplish that then I can pick and chose what to mix each month along with a few new ones.

    I've been making 3-4 30ml bottles at a time of my menthol tobacco that I use daily. I may start mixing those into 60's. I never did figure out how to get my tobacco absolute to not separate out in the mix.

    Ella's SB Biscuit is really hitting my happy spot right now, one month steep, now I really get the Lorna Doon cookie :)
    Has that been listed here? I remember seeing Ella's Biscuit but not with SB.

    Thank you. But where is the strawberry? I guess we add our own?

    :)
    In this instance; "SB" refers to Short Bread, and not StrawBerry. ;):D

    But, I see no reason why you couldn't add strawberry, if you wanted a jammy cookie.:)
