Random DIY mixing and More

Well damn, I'm planning to make a custard tonight.

Well, you can use any mix right away, but have to bear in mind that many may not reach full flavor / blend for some time. So go for it.

Is it okay to use magnetic screwdrivers when installing coils?

I don't see any problem with it.

Well damn, I'm planning to make a custard tonight.

You need a month steep for custards,cheesecake,most creams and others.

How long do you guys tend to let your creations steep before they are ready to go? I was hoping it would be more of a mix and go kind of thing but all this talk of 2 week to a month steeping.... My flavorings should be here today, and my brother gets home from college tonight, was hoping to have a bottle waiting for him.

I'd go with a simple fruit mix to vape right away and mix some others to put away to steep.

I don't have much fruit, I just ordered the flavors I needed for this recipe.

In that case you will have to go with what you have.

I have a set of slotted screwdrivers intended for tightening the screws on glasses, but no Phillips head screwdrivers of that size.

The kit we have includes both, so they do exist, but that sort of thing is what I was talking about.

Go ahead and make it - with a little extra so you can allow a portion to steep. I like to try new mixes along the way so I find out how they change over time, that's part of the fun of DIY. Some here like custard mixes steeped at least 1 month, I tend to vape mine between 2-5 weeks and after I don't like them as much (I'm weird though). Keep notes as you test it and you'll find your own sweet spot for steeping. Enjoy!

Not sure where you're located, but Dollar Tree carries a set of slot head and Phillip's head screwdrivers that are all small ones, some of each type in it. Can't beat $1 for the set. I use mine frequently. They're the ones in the black and clear plastic case. Screwdrivers are black handled with yellow ends on them.

We have Dollar Tree along with other dollar stores. I will be checking this out. Thanks for this.

Are those tiny screwdrivers with handles meant for grown humans, not Borrowers?

My kids looooved those books! I like you suspect those screwdrivers are meant for extremely petite, exceptionally nimble people with very short nails.

 

[NotSoMini]

You’re running short on tiny blue screwdrivers? Boy, do I have a deal for you

What I had is long gone. I do not remember that it included the Phillips and seem to recall they were the straight-edge ones. I will check the dollar stores first as it sounds like they have the Phillips.

 

[NolaMel]

Most of my fav recipes are my own. I think it's great that your first one is something you like

That’s funny, three of my ADVs are your recipes! I have a few of my own I repeat, but most of the stable has come from y’all.

 

[NotSoMini]

It should be in the manual.

One would think. The so-called manual is just a small piece of paper. There is a picture of the tank taken apart however no mention how to remove the top cap. Now if there was a phillips included then the guessing game would not occur.

 

[TheProphet]

So turns out my wife's sister still has her entire recipe book, and sent the whole thing to my wife. Something like 50 recipes. Just your normal vape shop house juice flavors but there may be one or 2 neat ones in there.

 

[NotSoMini]

I don't see why it would matter. It should be fine and help to not lose screws if you accidentally loosen them too much.

I haven't done any new mixing lately. I have noticed that the custard the quickening recipe has become really sweet with time. Almost too sweet for me and I like sweet flavors. It reminds me of a mix I used to do with pur sweet tobacco and butterscotch ripple.

Did you use CCW Devon Cream or sub it with another flavor? I have not dumped my bottle yet and thought if it steeps longer I may feel differently about it.

Happy to hear that

Right. The phillips should have been included

 

[Zazie]

Sure, won't hurt a thing. But if the screws are stainless steel, probably won't be any advantage. Most high grade SS is non magnetic. (Than again, I rarely remove them, just loosen enough to get the leads under.)

I try not to remove them but sometimes misjudge. Too bad about stainless steel. I was hoping magnetic screwdrivers would make it easier for me to keep hold of the screws. Oh well. At least I can buy the kit I was looking at without fear of the screwdrivers damaging something.

Any suggestions with what to do with lemon meringue tart VT? I was told this was kind of a standalone one shot, but I also have these flavors to work with.. lemonade LA, lemon Sicily FA, vanilla custard v2 cap, vanilla bean ice cream cap, yes we cheesecake INW, cheesecake graham crust tfa, sweet cream cap, Bavarian cream LA. Here's my idea so far.. Just making .... up
Lemon meringue tart VT 6%
Lemon Sicily 3%
Yes we cheesecake 2%
Vanilla bean ice cream 1%

We used it in Nick Evans Lemon Meringue Pie - the Best Yet.
Lemon meringue pie - the best yet.

Your recipe sounds good!
