    What percentages did you use?

    I wanted the orange to be up front but not cover up the pudding. I'll have to look to make sure when I get home but I think it did 4% pudding and 5% orange.

    How long did you steep it? Takes a good couple weeks to open up.

    Mixed this today. It’s touted as a SnV but gets creamier with a 2 week steep. It’s delicious.

    Edit: I had to sub the CC Devon Cream for JF Bavarian Cream.

    If you get one of them get the vanilla custard. Its basically pudding anyway and less sweet than the vanilla pudding
    Thanks,I'll keep that in mind but I have Cap and Inw already so don't need another.

    Morning mixers,

    I'm starting to notice a bit of a harshness to some ejuices I mixed 2-3 weeks ago, a nut recipe in particular. Lowering the wattage helps, but could it be the coils need changing or have I over-steeped them? I'm using Rayon with SS316L spaced coil between 38-50W. The coils are dark, but not particularly crusty. The Rayon is as pure as the driven snow.

    Why I haven't immediately thought about changing the coils is that I recoiled/rewicked my tank at the same time, and despite hammering it with a heavy commercial juice (gingerbread jam), it is fine. No harshness whatsoever.

    Some juices are worse than others, a NY cheesecake I mixed at Christmas is coming into its own now, with no harshness and some lovely notes. The Cannoli which has rested for just over a month is not bad either.

    Have I discovered a steeping bell curve, or is my lack of coil-changing discipline to blame?

    If you’re using ss316 round wire 50 watts might be too much heat for it. 38 watts seems better suited.

    @Old Greybeard have you tried burning off the coils and rewicking yet? No need to change coils every time unless you have to, like if rewicking will deform the coil.
    I have had some liquids where the sweet levels really came out later and seemed to make it too rich and strong... maybe harsh...

    This the same coil/wick as what gives the harshness? If so, maybe the jam and nut just don't agree with each other? If that, it might go away once the old flavor is fully flushed out.

    Otherwise, maybe check for a hot spot on the coil.
