    I quickly tired of the holy po po sample. I went to clean out my intake tank and the bottom o ring evidently stuck to the bottom of the glass and when I put it under the faucet to rinse the tank, down the disposal went the o ring. I looked but didn’t see it. A simple tank clean and rewick turned into a hunt for the intake box to get another o ring. I did find the box and replaced the o ring. I have been trying the berry good recipe in an rda and wanted to put it in a tank to compare.
    Glad you had a spare o-ring.:) Maybe you should get more now. What Berry good recipe is that?

    Well for the millionth time I have been hearing about Devon Cream and Premium Custard. I have invested $17.66 in a Chef's order so I can try these for myself. Added another 4 10ml size flavors to make shipping worth while. Paid the same as Hitt did for the shipping.

    Fran what other flavors did you order?

    How do commercials juice makers make their lemon flavors not fade as our DIY juices?

    Does anyone know?

    I don’t know for sure but remember Bill mentioned citric acid in his thread.

    I grabbed 2 off my BCF wishlist. VTA Rhubarb Compote and INW Shisha Orange. Also got VTA Grape Yogurt which looked good to me at the time and VTA Sour Mate hoping it works better than the sours I have that don't mix with the flavors to me.

    That looks good! I've never had red dates irl or in a flavor ... have you tried it yet? I was also curious as to how INW Brown Sugar compares to TFA?

    INW Brown Sugar is stronger than TFA and it doesn't have the funky off notes I get from the TFA. Not that TFA's Brown Sugar is bad, I just need to keep it low so I don't get that "funkyness". Over 1% I find it muddles any mix I put it in.

    I find the INW has a light "caramelly" taste to it, like the crusty top of a creme brulee.

    Edit: nope, haven't tried this recipe yet :) Hope it works

    OK now. I know most of you have the CCW Devon Cream and the Fa Premium Custard. I want to sft both so I need mixing %.

    I find they both need a long steep - 3 weeks would be good. Try them both at 2% if you must do a SFT. They are kinda bland on their own but both really shine in mixes.

    Well if an sft isn't going to tell me how good they are then I won't do them. So what is avg mixing % in a mix?

    I use both those flavors around 1% generally. They're both very creamy but I do see people using them at 2% in a mix. The good news is that you shouldn't find them sweet at all. :)

    Today I'm finally going to take a stab at mixing up a Date Square vape:

    2.50% WF Oats and Cream Cookie
    2.00% VTA Red Dates
    0.50% FE Lemon
    0.40% INW Brown Sugar
    1.00% CAP Butter Cream

    That looks really good! I have considered a fig Nuton type vape before but this looks even better, Heh.

    Report the results. Not that I am in a mixing "place" at the moment.

    I am way ahead at leaving. Also, the husband is a mysterious genius, that BATHROOM window. It really transforms the place from "abandon hope all ye who enter here" into like, a place where once we are done painting and attacking the bathtub and shower well, it's more of a "This isn't great but we could do something to it at some point."

    I bet it's gonna look AWESOME I am super freaking jealous of whoever is going to buy the place, dang it.

    One more week in the stinky apartment! And OMG, the husband ALSO re-affixed one of my lower denture "ends." It's the one that sits in the denture itself and snaps onto your like, implant. Mine came out (I blame new dentist place) and I have been making do with like, denture adhesive and a poor attitude about it. I don't got time for the dentist, man, this is my last week to cull some of the Douglas related resources I need! Gah.

    I seem to recall seeing a running thread based on alcoholic cocktail inspired recipes - but for the life of me I can’t find it. It is Sunday and my search skills are on a day of rest. It is also quite possible I saw it somewhere else on the interwebz.

    Will do! I sure hope it turns out good.
