    Any recipes for Irish Cream and V.B.I.C.?
    There are many recipes in this thread that use the VBIC. I have recipes using the Irish Cream as soon as I have time to dig them out.

    It was my intention to do a new mix or two this week but I still have a ton of very well steeped stuff to get through and also figured it was more important to do the sft's. After I get done with my final tries I have to mix a bunch more sft's.

    Ha! I'm glad someone recognized it. I've always loved that song. Never saw Mission of Burma live, though, which I regret.

    Do you recognize this one? I always found it amusing. My roommate went out with someone in the band. Can't remember which guy it was.

    I lived in Boston from January 1979 to October 1984. Those five plus years sort of constitute my youth (I was diagnosed with MS in 1985, which changed everything). Got a job at a small publishing company (Godine) two weeks after I arrived and worked there for most of the time I was there.

    I went fairly often to Streets, in Allston. Do you know it? They booked a lot of New Wave bands. I'd also go to the Paradise, of course (saw X, The Waitresses, and Lou Reed there). The Speakeasy, in Central Square, was another favorite. Only went to The Rat a couple of times, though.

    Now I'm all nostalgic. I may have to spend some time on YouTube today, wallowing.


    I know and worked in all of those clubs/dives lol! And HSR band was another fantastic Boston band. I was doing sound throughout the 80s then went back to college.

    The 80s were a fantastic time for the local music scene.

    Agreed.

    Streets tried a little too hard to be the hip new dive, but I'll always be fond of it. It was there I first encountered the Method Actors and the Bongos, two groups that remain in my rotation.

    We may have crossed paths back then without knowing it!

    I tried my steeped LMP - The Best and Lemondowski today. Both are very good but I don't think either would ever be something I vape often. Dessert vapes - pies, tarts, cheesecakes, etc. - are just not my thing. Still, both are tasty. Of the two, I prefer Lemondowski. Graham crackers are something I love to eat but don't much care for them in a vape. :)

    Both recipes are crafted with care and I do think Nick Evans is an outstanding mixer. JMHO

    Speaking of high total flavor %s even I - the Queen of In Your Face Flavors- have been lowering total amounts in my recipes lately.

    So many people have said that they started off with high flavor only to reduce it as they had been vaping for awhile.

    And after a year, I see what you all mean. I was vaping on avg at abt 20% but have dropped to abt 12-15%.

    Not that it all matters- whatever works is individual preference. I just found it amusing since I’m always saying how I love lots of flavor. Of course it depends on the recipe as well.

    It seems like it takes a year of being smoke-free to get your taste buds back. You had your anniversary just before mine. I'm only just now starting to lower my percentages to the 10-15% region

    That’s right!! Now some really high flavored mixes are just way too much. Never thought it would happen to me lol!!

    TOC'S Bailey's Milkshake on ELR sounds pretty good for a milkshake. :)
    I checked it out thanks, I have every thing but sugardaddy which I assume is a sweetener. I'll try to find out. Just checked it's a sweetener offered by the broke vapor, again thanks.

    Somewhere between here and there
    20% off at Chef's with code 20OFF. Ends Sunday the 5th.

    Thanks Fran. I think I'm going to pass on this one. I've got a handful of flavors on my BCF wishlist but think that I'm just going to use chefs for flavors I can't get at bcf or if I've got a big order and they have a sale. I am really liking the two one shots I got from them.

    You are amazingly tough, but, jeez, you need a break. I hope this rotten bit is resolved quickly, followed by a long, peaceful stretch. Good luck.

    I don't know how tough I am, but I am kind of dogged. I was gonna do yoga but I'm too tired. Maniana. was up talking to the kid who gave his two weeks notice I hope all that works out man because I don't need MORE to worry about.

    My dentist in Sierra Vista was able to diagnose my problem in a way that TOTALLY made sense and no other dentist has done. it's not my jaw. It's the lining of my gums. The gum around my lower implants is thin, and there is like a problem with that so it got infected.

    He gave me this "old dentist" home remedy I gotta sit around a couple times a day, stabbing my gum with a toothpick dipped in bleach and like, some other stuff.

    If that fails, I have to get GUM GRAFTING. Shiver. That sounds AWFUL. Going to Walmart for my supplies today etc.

    He was super nice, too. Oh god, I hope I can get this on the right track,

    Yesterday was exhausting because I also had to go to the mobile unit over lunch to deal with a suicidal kid, exhausting. it's a giant bus. I personally hate them I get claustrophobic but what can you do?
