It is!! It's tasty enough but nothing I'd buy again I don't think. I'll give it part of tomorrow before I try another.
Today it kind of felt like that, actually. It was not fun day. EVERYONE told me to go to the emergency dentist from FRIDAY onward. So, I did because I am still all swole up like a whale.
And seriously, thanks to my confusion and a change in generis, last night I made the kind of med error that like makes you SHIVER with terror, when you (luckily) figure it out. I mean, if I did not die of something, I would have had a VERY not fun time.
So, I made an "emergency" dental appointment because "THEY" all said to from day one... I was like, "I am being clear about my ISSUE, my implants EVERYTHING."
So I went... It was an hour late... My innocent query regarding the fact that they didn't have a 360 degree scanner was bit odd... I did not think they would see much was met with "OH EVERYONE says that." I was like, "Holy jesus Christ, someone should have SAID something. In between almost poisoning myself with meds, I could have found the right kind of dentist that took my insurance but NO everyone waxed lyrical about Dental in Douglas (at my job).
After they jammed about FIVE of those "x ray things" in my mouth, the LAST time the chick did not take her FINGERS out, she was jamming it so hard. Somewhere, is a an X ray of my jaws..... With fingers in it. I was also crying by then.
The dentist was mean. She was like, "I can't do anything for you." I was like, "Blah blah blah THESE are the things you CAN actually do for me and she was like "Whatevers." She said she was gonna refer me. No thanks. I can look up dentists that aren't well, mean and rude." I explained my 30K thus far dilemma as far s like being in NEED of like, preserving my insurance. She actually tried to prescribe antibiotics that were LESS strong than the ones I had.
She said, "I'm sure you don't want to see your LAST oral surgeon." I was like "Um actually I could have been there ALREADY like TODAY." She acted like he was evil and he wasn't. I was just trying to explain to her t hat I was DONE with surgery and needed the implants I had.
By the end of the visit, they handed me this... Bill. The only person who had ANY sense at all was the dental hygienist who set me up with an implant guy in Sierra Vista on Wed. Behind my dentist's back. She was all, "Oh he's never available" like jealousy or something. My implants all seem fine by the way. I just have some nasty infection in my jaw, like I thought. I suppose that was good news.
But the bill... I scrawled on it "please feel free to bill my insurance but I am afraid I wrote on there, "Bill away. I will be talking to my insurance company about information given and services rendered, etc."
The oral hygienist snuck me out at that point. I think that was probably sensible. She was all like "yes but your insurance will pay it." I was like, "Yes, I know and I only have SO MANY insurance DOLLARS to spend, and I am not spending it on THIS."
That was when I quietly exited. I bet my boss got called. Probably. I'll probably get in trouble tomorrow, but I am supposed to get the SAME care as any patient, and if that was IT, that place should be shut down (only they move the dental MA somewhere else) or BOMBED even.
It was worse than the Mexican dentist BY FAR. I mean, yeah, my dentist used gloves but you don't JAM an xray film so far down someone's throat (I assume they GET that they don't get good coverage) that the person CRIES.
Sigh. Kinda nervous, but I'm sorry I do NOT let that stuff slide. Maybe I am hypervigilant but if your emergency dentistry consists of a good scolding if you have implants…. TELL me that. NO one did, not dire ER doc not anyone they were all like, "go to the dentists here they are so AWESOME."
Maybe compared to "Bite down on a leather strap and have a belt of whisky while I pull this tooth." But only MILDLY better.
Am very nervous.

so I got tired of refilling my 2oz glass bottle of vg, like every day...
so I used the last of my calcium chewable tablets, washed it out and filled that bad boy up with vg, shouldn't be needing to refill it as often

Sounds like an incredibly horrible and upsetting experience! I’m so sorry you had to go through that today Anna. I hope you find a decent and caring dentist there and quickly!!
it was either this or a plastic bottle that's half that size but I thought glass would be better
Ok, now I can’t remember what I did with that recipe because I mixed it way before I got the FA ice cream
Won’t let me put the link. Go to ELR & search for Custard - The Quickening.
I have the recipe saved on elr but don’t remember if I mixed it with another ice cream or just left it out until I got it.
You did help. It is that recipe that I ordered it for. I might just start over and mix a new bottle.
So many different creams. I’ve decided I can’t possibly purchase every single one. I mean I could but I’m not going to! I’d need a suitcase for just the creams. I have some “basic” creams but it would be helpful to put together a list of Must Have creams (basic) and Beyond Must Have creams that are used most often in recipes.
Any help would be great. I’ll start with a Must Have:
Bavarian Cream TPA
I also have Italian Cream and Sweet Cream CAP & FW but I don’t know if they are a Must Have Cream.
I need help lol! So basically what other creams besides Bavarian area Must Haves??? I mean it would be great to have them all but not everyone can afford all of them.
Or not lol!

I just looked at my flavor stash and I’ve got 13 creams not including ice creams. I just kept buying them as recipes called for them.
I think I've almost got this coconut cream perfect....it may need a bit more coconut...it'd probably be better once it steeps but I'm not that patient....
Coconut (TFA) 7%
Vanilla Custard (FW) 2%
Sweet Cream (TFA) 1.5%
Condensed Milk (Purilum) 1.5%
Marshmallow (TFA) 1.5%
Cotton Candy (TFA) 1.5%
I had been using 3% sweet cream but thought the condensed milk would give it more of a coconut milk flavor
and I was using 3% marshmallow for the mouth feel but thought cotton candy would help and sweeten it also
it's very creamy milky sweetness with a hint of coconut
I think this will end up being my favorite cream base and swap out the coconut with other flavors to see how it works....I think this may even make a great milkshake base
while it didn't quite turn out with the coconut flavor that I was looking for, I'm very pleased with this and randomly have found a nice cream/milkshake base for other vapes
hm...now what else to try with this other than coconut....

You may not be tasting as much of your Coconut as you could, because of the TFA Cotton Candy. It's ethyl maltol, and isn't really a sweetener, though it is slightly sweet. (It's job is to help smooth out harshness in a mix, often caused by some of the fruity flavorings and other types.) It can/will mute the taste of flavorings if too much is used. If you intended it to be a sweetener in your mix, you may want to try using TFA Sweetener or CAP Super Sweet in a much smaller amount than 1.5%. I'd bet you'd taste more of the Coconut then. Just my 2 cents though.
i was using it for a bit of sweetness but I thought (obviously I'm wrong) I had read somewhere long time ago that it was used for a mouth feel as well....but good to know about the smoothing
