    Fran, I’ve got a few pounds I can contribute to your weight gain. 48 is not being nice to me. I’ve gained weight over the past year and don’t have the stamina or motivation to exercise like I used to. I’ve got to figure out how to turn it around.
    I've never been what you could call overweight but I've dropped to 108lb and I just want to ad 3-4 more at a min and I haven't been able to.

    I mixed a new bottle of LMN# the other day and added .5% lemon zest. It's ok but not exactly what I was looking for. I might try either increasing the FE lemon a percent or add a different lemon to boost the lemon flavor in it.

    Which of the many lemon recipes is LMN#? I am thinking that all of the custard/pudding recipes could use a bit more lemon myself. I get great lemon flavor from Sherbet Lemons but I did increase the lemon from Darren Cole's original Dumbledore.

    I got my master flavor list finished and discovered that I have the same flavor in different cases. I’ve also got 30ml bottles and some tall 15ml bottles that won’t fit in the polish cases that aren’t on my master list. I need to transfer some to 10ml bottles and incorporate them into cases. This is like the never ending project.

    No new flavor orders on the way for me, other than a big bottle of DIYFS Holy Vanilla. I thought about stocking up on some Holy RY4 & Gooey Butter Cake, but figured their Vanilla is the variant that will be history, so that's far more important to me... Can never have enough great Vanillas in the arsenal. :drool:

    I've got plenty of flavors to start with already and I've been stealthily culling recipes from here, VU, ELR, & ATF the last few weeks, so all I need now is solitude to mix. :::It can happen::: :rolleyes:

    Amazing how we can find all the time in the world to buy, but not the time to mix! :D

    I read maybe on Reddit that v2 is not as rich as v1. Going from memory I think it was the Holy Holy Grail RY4 that the person reported on. My assumption is this would apply to the Holy Vanilla as well since it is used in the RY4.

    I haven’t mixed since coming home from the hospital. Just slowly getting back to doing housework. Can’t do too much as I get tired. But getting better every day.

    I really want to mix Gallagher’s & 5Star Custard.

    Good to hear you are getting better every day. Always takes time.

    I did a search on this thread for the 5Star Custard and could not find it. Can you please provide.

    I generally mix 30mls and sometimes 20mls of Fizzy Lemon Sherbet. I think we are very similar in our mixes other than maybe a flavor or so. I have never had this fade on me. Same with Lemondowskii except I need to vape it up during the 2-4 week timeframe. I add the lemons at the same time as I mix it.

    @classwife , what percents did you use for each of your VS and ABC single flavor mixes? Are you a light-flavor person, or do you prefer a BAM-in-your-face onslaught (BTW, I'm more of the later :D)? I have both flavors and a (suspiciously) clear weekend ahead, so I'd like to mix this to put up to steep/age, while I can (only 2 flavors, too, whee! :thumbs:).

    I have a ton of 'domestic' crap to do, though, so I know I'll be caught up to my eyeballs in 'stuff' quickly. The 'need to do' will surely outweigh the 'want to do', but my stomach is finally starting to feel better, so I won't have that nonsense to deal with. :nun: Thankfully, my son isn't playing hockey right now or I'd probably be screwed all the way around. LOL!


    I used 2% for the ABC SFT
    I used 4% for the VC VS SFT

    I did not have luck with this when I mixed it. I will give you the honor to make it better ;)

    I did the last mix with.5% lemon zest. It’s a bit too much and not exactly the flavor I was looking for. I’ve got probably half a dozen lemon flavors and more than that in lemonade flavors. One of them has to be the right one.

    I mixed the mango blossom recipe a couple weeks ago and got it loaded in a tank today. I think next time I’ll increase the mango. Probably just my messed up taste buds but the mango seems a little weak.
