Random DIY mixing and More

[Fidola13]

Good morning, random folks I'll be headed home a bit later and refuse to feel sorry for myself anymore at this time. Not to say it won't happen again.......

I'll be bringing my 4 iffy mixes home to try. One is really my first serious try with the FE? Sweet Rice. Another is my first try using Avocado Cream. The other 2 are just plain iffy.

Just read that you went or are going home for the very last time. I can’t begin to imagine what that must feel like. I really hope your new situation will be peaceful and calming go you.

I do too what are you planning on using it in. I think I bought it when I read it enhanced some other flavors but I can’t remember for the life of me what they were. I’m sure a search through recipes with cucumber concentrated will help.

She was talking about real cucumbers when she said that. She's made pickles with them.

I remember early in my mixing journey that I opened a package from bcf and thought “ those flavors sound good together”. By dumb luck I really liked the mix. It’s too flavored for me now but I used it for quite a while.

I did some sft’s on lemonades and the cap pink lemonade is awesome as a stand alone. I mixed it at 4% and I might put a drop of citric acid in it but there was very little fading even after 3 weeks. It’s got a nice lemony tartness to it but not overwhelming. More top sour notes of a freshly made lemonade.

The LA Lemonade was good too but not like a tart or sour lemon. It had a fuller mouthful and more lower notes.

Mixing the 2 might taste fantastic. I’ve tried so many crazy lemonade mixes and to find just one or two combined flavors that taste great is an easy mix for sure!!

I was thinking 4% CAP and 2% LA might be a good quick mix. A drop of sweetener could be worthwhile to try and again a drop of citric acid for a lemon preservative might help if making a large volume of it.

My Mom always told me Earth was for the living. In other words, get on with your life. Or as Red Redding would say, “Either get busy livin’ or get busy dyin’.”

Coming the first of next month I will start getting my rent on this house which will give me a little spending money to stock up on whatever I might need. Right now I don't see where I need much of anything

So you’re keeping the house but renting it out? That’s a really good idea. Something I’ll probably have to look into as well.

I recently tried WF lemonade SC and like it really well. I think I’ve got at least 15 lemonade flavors.

I’ll probably buy the hearing aids they sell at Walgreens when it comes to that time for me lol!!

I love all things lemon or lemonade!! I have 2-3 more lemonades to finish testing. I just liked the CAP so much I didn’t want to stop vaping it lol!!!

Been out of sorts for the last couple of weeks with a C-Diff infection since July 25th (hospitalized last week for 4 days, too)... Ugh, thank you (not!) ulcerative colitis!

Needless to say, I have done nothing since then and today is my 1st day back at work. I haven't vaped anything since then until a few days ago, but I did manage to try Ella's Shortbread before I fell ill... Nope, WAY TOO sweet. I will try it again at some point, but eliminatomg the sweetener until I try it without. Good God, it was far sweeter than I expected it to be and that's all I tasted. No sweet, buttery cookie at all.

Hope all of you are well (I may not catch up on the thread)!

Oh god that can be EXTREMELY serious and dangerous. I’m glad you’re doing well. I worked in healthcare- hospitals & private offices- and I know exactly how scary c diff can be. Make sure everything you touch like your phone and door knobs is wiped down often with a disinfectant.

I've never put my flavors in frig or freezer.

I thought one of the flavor manufacturers TFA? say not to freeze concentrates? I forgot why- crystal formations or something like that. I could be wrong but I keep all my backup bottles of flavors in the veggie drawers. The ones I use in the organizers I just keep in a dry dark cool space.
But what do I know there’s lots more experience here than what I know !!!

 

[Fidola13]

I don't need to mix more right now but I have a Cheesecake on my mind. I'll be back with my flavors and my Cheesecake Base in a couple of days and trying to think of something a little different.

I’m planning on a small tester of kiwi cheesecake not sure if that’s what you mean though.

 

[Fidola13]

My problem will be identifying which ingredient has too much and which one has too little.

That’s why I find single flavor testing so important. It may be tedious but how will I know what recipe needs more or less of a particular flavor if i haven’t tasted them individually.

Lmao! Leave it to me to be so literal!! But I really did get cucumber concentrate to boost some other flavor that’s I don’t remember!!

Wonder how septic systems do with nic.

No issues with ours. Huge dilution, so shouldn't be an issue ever. Or maybe keep tree roots out of the drain field

Ha, I was gloating about real cucumbers--with which I made pickles that have turned out rather well, I'm happy to say. Now I have to eat a ton of them because they don't last all that long and I filled a half-gallon jar.

I'm in the same boat. Too many pickles.
And it's harder to give away pickles than, say,... strawberries lol. Not everyone wants them.

 

[Zazie]

Not yet. I tend to vape down what I have before I mix more. But it will be included in the next session.

Your random "disagree" on the above post made me laugh out loud, @Fidola13.

 

[uthinkofsomething]

They put that disagree button right in the middle of the good buttons...
I have thought about organizing a vote to move it.

Good morning.
