Random DIY mixing and More

[hittman]

I got a response from MFS this morning about the nic not being shipped in glass like they told me it would be. They are shipping me two glass one liter bottles for free. I thought they might. I've always gotten great service from them. I already broke one of the liters into 250ml bottles but will be glad to get the other one into a glass bottle.

Is that a one shot? Most of their one shots are recommended to be mixed anywhere from 12.5 to 20% depending on which one it is. That might be why the chocolate is light tasting.

Nope

That's cool. Now you have a spare bottle for another liter.

FLV Grape is not the best Grape I've ever had but should be fine to layer with another.

Nope

I looked it up on their website and it says mix at 10-20% and let steep. It kinda sounds like a one shot.

I’ve had good service from them too. The one issue I had (wrong item sent).... I got a shipping notification for the correct item before I got the email response. No questions, just sent with a nominal freebie for the trouble, and a pp return label for the incorrect item.

@FranC , As it says fudge, I would expect chocolate as we have here in the US. I found this review on ELR...
“NOT a chocolate flavour - this is English white fudge, a confection made from cooked sugar, butter and cream, similar to toffee, but more subtle.

Very nice flavour, but not an essential must have. Reasonably true to description - sweet, smooth, thick and rich, with a hint of vanilla. Has a very distinct flavour of clotted cream, which is actually more prominent than the fudge element, and almost separated from it, rather than tasting like fudge made from clotted cream, as the name suggests. The cream element has a more pronounced, and very authentic dairy (milky) note than most other creams I've tried, yet it has no butyric note or any other off notes sometimes associated with dairy (up to 10% anyway).

Not a highly concentrated flavour, in fact it's probably a bit on the weak side for a SF, or even a main note, but its a great mixer - has a really good thickness and body to it, and is ideal for filling out and texturising creams, giving depth and creaminess to caramels, and even adds a subtle complexity and texture to custards. Really works well as a bridge between dairy and confectionary type flavors, and can fit into a lot of bakeries with no problem. Extremely versatile flavour.

Have tested it up to 10%, and did not detect any off notes, nor was it unpleasant in any way that high, but the cream began to taste a lot stronger than the fudge. Maybe try it at 15% to see if the fudge gets strong enough to be a main note, but I doubt it. Prolly best used as an accent, feel it will be fantastic supporting note - Used at 3% as an accent in custard & caramel mixes so far, and was getting good flavour at 3%. Also try it again SF after 4 week steep, just to see if flavour develops much.



Preferred single flavor mix: 6.0%”

It's just a flavor, not a one-shot. I did miss that mixing percentage.I will do another sft in the next batch.

Thanks much. I really love the creamy taste it has. The slight chocolate taste is just a plus. I like the flavor a lot. I also somehow missed that review on ELR. I do not find this too sweet either which is a big plus.

Both my orders, flavor and nic, are in my mailbox. My neighbor will be picking up my mail on her way home from work. I've been trying to get thru some of the last batch of sft's I did.

Chef's Choice VBIC is ok but I like the TFA better.

 

[FranC]

The sft's I'm trying today are 2 months old so they're all well steeped. I'm going to try one more for today and hope to get the last 2 tomorrow, I also have 4 older ones I put aside for another try.

In addition to the 9 flavors I have coming to sft,I have another 7 sitting on my counter waiting, but that's for another day.

 

[FranC]

OK,I have INW Shisha Orange at 1 1/2%. Not something I'd pick for an outright orange flavor but I didn't expect it to be. I'm thinking it would be good in a boozy mix.

I’m going to add it to the list...maybe a replacement for white chocolate? I find them to be pretty bland

Possibly depending on your tastebuds. I find the flavor rather unique in a good way. I don't think it will disappoint you.

Since I had nothing better to do I decided to try the last 2 flavors. Finding the Fa Cream Whipped quite tasty. The last flavor is Fa Cornish Cream Tea. This is quite tasty also. I'm going to vape the rest of my little bottle. I don't know how much like tea this tastes but it's good. Also not too sweet

I only have 40+ more to try and then I can start on the close to 70 others I need to make.

The Minikin 3 for sure and maybe one other I forget.

No one HAS the 3 even though it vapes GREAT is kind of super ergonomic once you get used to it, but it looks kind of like a meteor that is sanded down somehow into this very weird shape.

It has no curb appeal whatsoever. I wouldn't take mine out of the house out of fear of running into another vaper.

(An odd situation happened where I was fixing it and driving and the salesman slipped it in, "Miss we have sold out of the V2 that you want how about a three" and I was like, "Eh it's a Minikin it will be fine.)

I don't hate it, it gives great vape but well get a black one and vape it under the cover of darkness.

Also if you hit no, you have to take the batteries out and start all over.

How does it know if you're telling the truth, anyway?

I have high hopes of my bcf order arriving today. Not vapemail but I got the freezer shelf that my wife asked me to order so that should get me some brownie points. She's been wanting another shelf for the freezer but the parts place wanted $120 for one and she said that was too much. So I found one on ebay for $40. Also my daughter's dorm fridge arrived today so she should be happy too.

Hopefully it doesn't have a lie detector built in also.

 

[stols001]

IDK but now remember (home from the post office picking it up) that my stabwood boost kroma had it too,

I had good batteries in there or so I thought but the screen just froze. I warrantied it. Maybe that was the lie detector part. IDK.

Today is SUPER boring I don't like those dang work days where there is no 'work" although it did enable me to finish up my presentation for tomorrow so I guess that was good.
