I only have 6 flavors of my BCF wishlist and one is for stock.

My shopping list has become a big mess. I scribbled the flavors I need/want on a piece of paper. I also have questions marks next to some of the flavors and now I do not remember why I did this. Then I squeezed in tasting notes on some mixes I made. Need to separate and sort through it and make a new shopping list I can read.

Any suggestions on a Cinnamon concentrate? I know that there are concerns vaping it but I still want it for subtle flavoring.

I’ve been using different Cinnamon Danish/Swirl/Rolls to try to get that subtle cinnamon flavor but those are very sweet and doughy as well which I don’t want in some recipes.

I’m not getting very helpful notes/ reviews on ELR and Reddit is all over the place. Or maybe its but instead of spending more time trying to look up profiles I was hoping for opinions.

I see TFA is used in most recipes but there’s also a couple of FA ones - Rich and Ceylon then a Red Hot somewhere. And then a FW which is called “lighter” so I’m confused as to which to get. And someone has ethanol it it :w00t: !

So for people who use Cinnamon which concentrate do you prefer? Thanks

You may have already made up your mind however I like FA Cinnamon Ceylon and FLV Rich Cinnamon. If I did not have RC, I could be quite happy with Cinnamon Ceylon and still use it.

    Sounds like one of my grocery shopping lists......too much unrelated stuff.

    Still waiting to place the order. I’m optimistically waiting for a Sale. It’s killing me though!!!

    Thanks for your thoughts on the cinnamons. I’m stuck between those two concentrates right now.

    Has anyone tried PUR Condensed Milk? If so, thoughts please.
    I have it, I've only used it once in a coconut cream I'm working on to give it a bit more milky/creamy taste....I liked it

    I'd try the FA one first. If I didn't like it...I'd only be out $2.25. If I tried the FLV first and didn't like it...I'd be out $8.60. :D

    I agree. I decided I was going to “decide” by price since I’d rather be out $2.25 than $8.60 as you point out.
    Thanks for your help :)

    I feel like today was a success! I checked on 3 mixes that have been steeping and two are wonderful. The third needs a little help but not a major overhaul lol!

    Not only that, I actually vaped through 8 sft’s as well tonight! It’s been a week at least since I mixed them which is much longer than I normally do for the 1st test. Oh well. All of them were good to excellent flavors for me.
    I still have another 10 for a 2-3 week steep follow up but I’m not feeling stressed about it.

    It feels so satisfying to sft and enter my thoughts in the Notes section. I’ll often compare my initial experience with others notes. Some are right on some not so much but as we know flavor is so subjective.

    I just like that I’m really getting to understand each of my flavor’s profiles and how they effect mixes.

    I actually use it quite a bit. Its like a thicker version of sweet cream to me. Way more mouth feel. One of my fav is a new pur called "bliss". Its like all you fav creams and additives already put together

    Somewhere between here and there
    I've got a bunch of loose bottles in my vape cabinet too. I put the bottles for the dripping recipe in a bag so I could easily remix if I wanted to. There are like nine or ten flavors in that recipe.

    I gave up on those many flavors recipes long ago. I was never overly impressed with them and found I could make mixes just as tasty or more so with a whole bunch less flavors.

    So many one shots from Chef's! Plus one really odd flavor I keep looking at going "Why did you buy that Anna?"

    I both want to, and am afraid to try spotted dick, As best as I know it's like this custardy bread pudding with raisins? I am sure I could remedy this by looking it up.... Sigh. Also been crazy busy it is end of the year so "fix all your evil or wrong notes like every day 24/7 it seems like.

    I LOATHE the unlocked encounters lady. She is going out of her way to like, unlock my encounters like "the reason for the visit" not being documented in the note. It's in the DIAGNOSIS which is a Z code which means you don't HAVE to specify it. I almost argued, but then I remembered what happened LAST time I did that.

    Then she had to point out in her little spreadsheet that I had asked for something to be unlocked and this is the SECOND time. WHO CARES? I mean... Does it count double for the naughty list or what.

    All I know is Saturday morning once I am awake, I am getting ALL my notes done, period. I can't deal.. In any case woke up at 4 on the couch, I hope this day does not get worse.

    Getting my refurbished Procyon soon! Very happy etc.

    Anna
