Random DIY mixing and More

[barkfunklerbunk]

Hi folks, I hope you're well and mixing some awesome recipes. Been insanely busy with work and gardening on a very large scale, I'm behind a million pages, and haven't been able to mix for a while until today. Here's my 3rd iteration of LMP I just mixed. It was very good, but still didn't have the lemon I was looking for. I decreased LMT from 6 to 5, and increased LS from 6 to 7. Looking at a LMP recipe, they used only 0.8% of lemon Sicily. So having 6%+ of LS makes me think.. am I immune to lemon flavoring? I had started off with 3% originally.

5% Lemon meringue tart VT
7% Lemon Sicily FA
2% yes we cheesecake INW
1% Vbic CAP

If I feel like it, I'm going to mess around with these samples of Shisha peach VT and Crepe WF I got from BCF. I feel like these two should mesh well.

Or it might be that you're over-doing it?

I couldn't get the video to play but read the article. It sounds like the woman tried to make a quick turn in front of him and he couldn't stop in time. That's terrible. So many people these days drive like their .... is on fire and think they are the only one on the road. Almost every day going to work or coming home I have at least one person cut me off or almost hit me. That's one reason I don't own or drive a motorcycle. I've got a family depending on me and can't take a chance that some idiot is texting while driving and kills me. It's bad enough driving in a car.

Ain't that the truth. In my travels, I can't count the times that when doing the speed limit(or maybe a couple mph more) I had so many different kind of vehicles zoom past me like I am standing still. And then act like they are offended if they go around you. And it does not seem to make any difference whether you are in the slow or fast lane. I can't count the number of times that a few miles down the road I see many of them pulled over for speeding or upside down in the ditch. No thanks. My goal is to arrive at my destination in one piece, not to shaved a few mins off the trip.

dang it, ordered another pecan because I didn't thought I had one, oh well now I have two different kinds
yeah... got 9 or 10 flavors coming from diyfs
updated my spreadsheet list of flavors, i will now have 114 flavors I'm getting there...

It has been said that too much flavoring will actually reduce the effect of the flavor ...

Doh.. I think you may be right *face palm*

Never knew a recipe could be that simple, kind of forgot a 10ml juice I made a month ago or so with a single flavor - 7% TFA RY4 double. The taste, wow, just wow! Probably the best mtl vape I have ever had...

There is a thread called "Recipes for Dummies" that has whole numbers (no decimals) and four or less flavors. I started that for easy recipes, I think it's still open....

Anyways, hope I am not seen as intruding, but I am mixing today. NET extracts. One in particular, Sutliff Christmas Spice. Doesn't even smell like tobacco. Smells like Christmas.

Taking a break from painting the new screen porch. I could use some nice cold air from up north. It’s hot as blue blazes today. I pulled a bunch of recipes from Chef and diyordie’s fb pages over the weekend to cull through and look for possible keepers. I’m hoping they’ll give me some inspiration! It’s time to mix the next batch of creams etc so they’ll be ready to take on vacation in July

How does the high sixties, sunny, and breezy sound?

After such a punch in the gut, I'd be a useless lump on the floor in your shoes, @FranC. You are very strong and very brave, and my heart breaks for you.

Sounds like people in Maine are sweating, and missing their snowmobiles...
I was in Maine once when it was in the 80's. No one was outside.

It is unseasonably warm, I grant you. But after the cold, wet spring we've had, it's welcome. I'll be complaining if this keeps up, though.

On topic, I am finally trying the Lemondowskii I mixed on April 15. I had all the right ingredients except for FLV Vanilla Pudding, for which I subbed VT Pudding Base (not a great replacement, I know, but it seemed my best bet). It tastes like vaguely disgusting rubber to me. No lemon at all.

What is wrong with me??

Like HEAVEN!! I worked outside painting till about 9:30 and had to quit because I was wet from the heat and humidity. And, we’re lower than normal right now. Come January or February when it’s in the 60’s here, and not buried in snow, you’ll hear no complaints from me

 

[NolaMel]

What do these look like to y’all? I don’t have ice for the first, and I’m afraid the white chocolate one will be too sweet (obvs without the super sweet). OR, @PJReid , you have a better recipe for the boozy one? I have vta botanical gin. What do you think of something with star fruit?

 

[Shadav]

well pretty sure I messed this up, i think i put a ready made mix in my mix instead of a oneshot , guess we'll find out after it steeps a bit.....couldn't find my flavoring but found a bottle that said creaminess on it, but afterwards I realized i'm fairly sure that was the test..... oh well.....

 

[Shadav]

thanks to @PJReid I'm happy vaping on a shake 'n vape Andes Mint, that is more like a york peppermint patty, I might have to add just a touch of ws-23 to this
so well I can't exactly share the recipe....
Chocolate 7% (I don't care for any of the chocolates I currently have so I mixed them all together in equal portions, turned out rather well)
Flavorah Creme de Menthe 3.5%
TFA Creme de Menthe II 3.5%
TFA Kentucky Bourbon 1%

for the chocolate if you really want to try it lol
TFA Chocolate
Jungle Flavors Cocoa
TFA Double Chocolate Clear
TFA DX Milk Chocolate
TFA White Chocolate
mixed in equal parts together and well it seems makes a decent chocolate, i'll do a test of it later but in this mix it's wonderful
i'm sure if i let it steep it'd be better, right now sometimes the chocolate is stronger and other times the mint is stronger but lol nope i'm gonna vape this all right after i carefully add just a touch of ws-23

 

[Shadav]

i hadn't ordered any creme de menthe because i'm not big on menthol type stuff and I have peppermint, wintergreen and spearmint....but every andes chocolate mint type recipes I found all called for creme de menthe so pjreid was nice enough to send me 2 different kinds to try
I am very happy with this one right out the bat, put just a touch, like .1ml, of ws-23 into the 15ml mix and yummy

The "no lemon" doesn't seem surprising to me. Many/most lemon concentrates are fast faders. And, with your mix being nearly 2 months old, I would expect the lemon to be gone. You could try re-adding the lemon components to the mix (or portion of the mix) and see if that perks it up.

Lemon Sicily, in particular, only has an identifiable presence, for no more than 2 weeks (to my palate).

If I am mixing a recipe, that uses ingredients that will require a long time to develop, I will leave the lemon(s) out of it until I am only a week away from mixing (if that long). Otherwise, by the time the rest of the ingredients have come into their own, the lemon has left the show.
