hm interesting.... so lol I had made a watermelon chutney and at first it packed a kick throat punch but now 3 months later it's mellowed out, the heat of the jalapeno has died down, still a tingle on the tongue but it's actually pretty good, I may have to make this again and let it steep 
, it's a nice change of pace, sweet and spicy
, it's a nice change of pace, sweet and spicyI think it will be fine. I threw it out once like this in my 20s, no lasting damage. It was the kind of thing where you literally feel your vertebrae like, separating.
I have a soft tissue injury thanks to a car accident but it general responds to a tens unit and yoga. Soft tissue injuries are a PITA because they can't really be treated. When I went for PT my PT person wanted to me to show the range of movement in my back. When I showed her she was like, incredulous I HAD one thanks to yoga. She told me I could stretch further than she could. I pointed out my back hurt and she was like, "Okay." PT was rather useless other than I found out about tens units and promptly bought one.
I don't think I would try it on this, however. It now only hurts when I change positions-- like sitting to standing or whatev.

I've never used a heating pad......yet.
My wife uses one frequently. I don’t know how much it helps.
Last weekend I mixed up testers of DIYFS's Holy Vanilla V1, Gooey Butter Cake and they sent sample of Holy Grail RY4 V2, couldn't remember what was said to mix these at, and this thread moves to fast to find, so mixed all at 10%, so after a week steep, decided to taste test today.
Holy Vanilla is a strong one, too strong at 10%, use to Vanilla's being weak, but thinking cutting it in half next try, but good flavor though.
Gooey Butter Cake was the opposite, again flavor tasted good, but found it be rather weak at 10%, maybe more steep time will bring the flavor out more.
The RY4 surprised me though, not had a RY4/tobacco in probably 5 years, but really liking this Holy Grail RY4 V2, good creamy caramel with just a hint of tobacco.

I love the Holy Grail RY4 and I usually mix it at 10%. However, right now I am vaping it at 8% mixed with FA Forest Fruit @ 2% and Dragon Fruit TPA @ 1%. Nice and creamy fruit vape... I really don't get much tobacco presence from it though.
I don't really do fruits myself, but already thinking about adding some of the Holy Vanilla to the RY4 on my next mixing session.
I was concerned about the tobacco, but as you said, can't really tell it is there, so glad they included it as a sample, I love samples, as get to try new things I wouldn't normally try, and sometimes like the RY4 you get a winner.

Mission accomplished! I went to Menards to pick up some stuff and grabbed two new cases. $12 each. Now I just need to transfer flavors and retype my master list. Sounds easy but it’s going to take a while.
You’ve inspired me to work through what I have steeped. I’m about through most of it. I have set aside my favs till Im done to expedite it all. I get so excited about new recipes and I get too much mixed. It’s hard to say no to a good sounding recipe, especially when I actually have all the blooming ingredients!I'll be back home again tomorrow and my #1 goal is to keep vaping down my mixes. That's a goal that will be easy to meet.My next goal would be too try a couple more sft's.
Weren't you the one who swore they could get by with only a dozen flavors or so?
Due to having a hard time so far this year I’ve found it hard to get the incentive to do much of anything. I figure my best shot is vaping down my mixes to the point i’ll be forced to mix. I still have a ways to go but I’m getting closer all the time.
It just takes time, be gentle with yourself, and patient. Everyone here would mix for you if you don’t feel up to it.
That is so sweet
I’m pretty tough,just not tough enough at the moment but I’ll get there in time.
I have roughly two months till the move to my daughters.That is more than enough time for me to get my act together and have a fresh supply of juice mixed.I have a small stack of new recipes in various stages of competition.It has been my goal from the start to vape down what I have mixed before mixing a bunch more so I’m still on target with that. So it’s just as well I don’t feel like mixing ATM.
Made it to Walmart and back. It took some time. I was the little old lady who like, leaned on her cart and moved slow.
I also caved in and let a Walmart Hairdresser fix my hair. It's not a great haircut but like infinitely better than mine. Also, until I shove hair wax in it, I'm not gonna know for sure and I can't be bothered. She kept telling me all my hair was different lengths and did I want her to fix it. I was like, "Yes, that is why I am here. The only person in the past 1.5 years cutting my hair is me and clearly I am not good at it. Do your thing."
I was tired. Then I came home to talk to my kid and he had this big ranty moment about like having to get his wisdom teeth out and the pains and perils of his generation. I agreed with him. I explained I would help him. I told him to contact the Denver University Dental Clinic, as well as calling some oral surgeons and saying he was uninsured. I explained to him that I, my evil older wealth stealing self, had myself had dental work done at the University of MD dental clinic because I could not afford it and I was FINE. I told him all young adults have a hard time and there were times me and the husband BOTH worked two jobs AND put a home cooked meal on the table. I was pointing out his life was NO harder than mine.
He still just needed to rant. LOL I let him. I Better not lose my job for SO many reasons.
I have decided to audio tape everything and say nothing about it. It's not illegal. I don't have to tell anyone. It may come in handy. Gotta ask the husband about what/where to buy something.
