I just finished my first ever mixing session. It was a four-hour marathon. Don't make the mistake of thinking I have an enormous amount to show for that: I tend to work slowly to begin with, and even then I make a lot of dumb mistakes, no matter how careful I try to be. I also had many struggles getting my flavors open (the way some child-proof caps stymie me, you'd think I was a tenth my actual age, I swear). I also discovered that my equipment is frustratingly inadequate, something I intend to remedy before I mix anything else (I need squeeze bottles for VG and PG and pipettes or some such for transferring nic base into the mixing bottle, at the very least).
My first mix was the the Arroz con Leche I hope someday to perfect. It was a fiasco. First, I grabbed FLV Rich Cinnamon instead of Rum & Raisin and blithely started squirting it in. By the time I noticed my mistake, I'd added four times the amount of cinnamon I wanted. This made me decide to quadruple the recipe, which is crazy, since it's a first draft, and who knows what it's going to taste like. After managing not to mess anything else up, I grabbed PG when I meant to be adding VG and slopped in almost twice as much of it as I wanted before I realized what I was doing. The upshot is that what was supposed to be 60VG/40PG is 45VG/55PG. I hope I can
vape it without getting the burned tongue/roof of mouth sensation that high PG induces in me.
The rest of the adventure went more smoothly:
@FranC's Cheesecake Base #2 (which will first be going into
@Fidola13's Fig Cheesecake in a couple of weeks),
@FranC's Cheesy Rhubarb Bar,
Mango Blossom Macaron,
Vaperol Spritz, Xmas Pudding & Devon Cream, Treacle Ginger Pudding & Devon Cream, and SFTs of bilberry and the four black currants.
I am pretty worn out.
), again, thinking I might benefit from PG.
