I get no fade on the CC base. I'm also going to be mixing in my new supply of 15ml bottles which will steep awhile shorter. Since right now I just have too much stuff I would hold on adding any fruit for awhile.When I get more settled in I will only wait to add the fading fruits. Hope that made some sense:)

Yes it does. Much appreciated — thanks much.

Very crazy busy week, I feel a jillion amounts behind, and my crazy eye did it's weird thing again. It's driving me batty and I think I may need to see an eye doctor or a dermatologist, or both.

Or, potentially, just admit that I'm old, and I cannot leave my contacts in for weeks on end with like ZERO consequences anymore. It's only the one eye but like, it's the one with astigmatism and astigmatism contacts are MEAN.

Gotta do something, anyway, eye contacts are the worst..

In the middle of negotiating my DREAM job with my current boss, who recognizes I am FULLY and completely a counselor although she see's I'm being integrated behavioral health but I hate it. I was like, "Can I move to S-town, Cochise county?" Mainly because like, I know I will LOVE it there (it's the pits, the husband is being heroic about it." But a 15 K increase, probably. it's hazard pay differential..

All my new mixes are good so far except the berry heaven one that spilled catastrophically on the way up here. LOL. It's always ONE. But,, I'm juiced for now, even if this weekend is paperwork nightmare land and it WILL be oh trust me.

    I recently tried a new recipe (not mine) that uses JF Lemon Juicy with no other supporting lemon that I really enjoyed. It was sweet but not overly sweet with little to any noticeable sour/tart acidity at least to my taste. I am finishing up on the last of this mix that is ten days old and the 1% Lemon Juicy is holding its ground. I will use this when I make Fran’s cheesecake for a lemon cheesecake.

    Not sure where the motivation or burst of energy came from this afternoon but I ended up mixing up 7 or 8 recipes several new ones. Hopefully they’ll come out better than some from my last batch.

    I was getting “low” on juice since I’ve been whittling down my backup stash. I just had so much made. I learned the hard way that for me to just mix up 15-20 mls of most juices unless it’s my nightly lemon custard or strawberry cheesecake. Then I make 40mls at a time with presteeped custard or cheesecake base.

    Today I made 4 snv’s and a few that need a couple of days steeping then just one that could use at least 3-3 weeks. So hopefully I’ll be set for daytime vape juice.

    Does anyone else vape certain types of juices at specific times of the day or am I a weirdo. Well I know I’m a weirdo but am I more weird than the average bear lol!

    For example, in the morning I vape mostly milk, cream or danish type juice. In the afternoon it’s anything goes- lots of fruits though. Then in the evening after about 9pm I go to my lemon custard, apple tart or cheesecakes.

    I could never have an adv!!! Well I guess if I had to work out of the house I’d have to but being home all day and mostly dripping I vape 7-8 different juices throughout the day.

    Oh I just remembered my doc doubled my antidepressant and I feel like I’m on speed lol!

    There's always a huge sale that pops up just AFTER I buy something... :grr:

    Speaking of storage/sorting... I've got 2 of those thread/nail polish cases that are still empty (I bought 4), so I'm not in danger of losing my sorting scheme yet (by flavor type/grouping, then flavor name; manufacturer doesn't come into play at all), but I do have a problem with those bottles that are larger than 10/30ml or those oddly shaped ones that won't fit. How/where do you all store those bottles that will not fit into the 1" x 3" spaces (I've used up the 2 larger sized sections for a few of them already)? Right now, I have them contained in ziplock bags, in no particular order.

    Another week has gone by and still no tests of the Custard King nor the Cheesecake Base V3... They'll be well steeped, I suppose. :lol:


    I keep all the backup larger flavor concentrates as well as my working nic bottle in the vegetable drawers in my refrigerator inside sealed bags. I only take them out when I need to top off one of the 10 15 or 30ml bottles in the cases.

    Obviously I don’t eat many vegetables unless you consider French fries a vegetable lol!!

    Wow you’re already moving up the pay scale ladder at a rapid pace! I’m so envious. After being on ssdi for a few years I long to be able to work again and have money to toss around like I use to. I survive on almost $55k LESS than what I was making. And of course I keep spending like I’m still making oodles of money. Add to that the total loss of identity w not having a career and it’s a recipe for financial and emotional disaster!! But I’m keeping afloat somehow.

    Has anyone tried VTA Fuji Apple? I read a review that said it was really good. I need to order some more Fuji and was wondering if I should try it out or stick with the FA Fuji.

    I love it. It is smoother than FA or JF with no harshness. Use this wherever you want an authentic sweet red apple. It is juicier than FA or JF too, but not as juicy as the VTA Granny Smith (another winner.) You can't go wrong with VTA Fuji.

    I have noticed over the years that some folks do vape certain things at a certain time of day. I'm not one of them.:)
