Man that lemonade actually looks bearable. Course, grapefruit (which I am not allowed to have thanks to a medication I take) is my only real well liked citrus thing. My parents did the "tubes" of orange juice, my father being the notorious tightwad and like, shopper. It wasn't even so much the TASTE of the juice (although it WAS that, too) it was the WHOLE laborious process when you used up the (usually sludgy) like, bottom layer of the juice. You had to freaking DEFROST a can, and heaven forbid you walked away from it and like ALSO, there was the whole measuring the water, and the stirring, the endless, endless stirring that happened, (think Laura Ingalls Wilder and churning butter only stirring) it took FOREVER and you would pour mournfully into the increasingly less see through water trying to see how small the chunk at the bottom was and like, how long it was going to take to freaking... dissolve.

Turned me right off the stuff. While I also know that "Fresh squeezed" orange juice is ANYTHING but and the taste of the juice is NOT EVEN the JUICE but some CHEMICAL they add, well, I would have given anything for it as a small child, honest. LOL.

I love the ages solo and how it vapes, I will have to get another sometime soon! I am becoming a fan of hefty one battery mods, IDK.

Hope ya'll are hanging in there. I should really start taking my night meds I have about a billion things to do tomorrow and not enough time, but this week took two weeks to pass and I did 3 weeks of things in it and well IDK. Bed would likely be wise, etc.

Anna,
Remember you are not ingesting the actual grapefruit itself, you are only getting the taste of it with a vape. I don't see where it would interfere with your meds as the actual fruit itself is not present.

    So ah, yeah I meant of all the citrus flavors to try I should probably TRY grapefruit flavors since I can't have the real thing. That recipe looked delicious.

    There are times perseverance IS a virtue but I just spent like an hour setting up ONE doggy syle. Sigh. I do have bad coil days, I should have stopped.

    In consolation, I DID figure out that the recipe I had that I THOUGHT was one of my favorite juices ever like, IS in fact that Juice (the label wore off.) So now I'm very happy. LOL. It's Mango and toasted Coconut sherbet plus a bunch of other stuff added. I like! :)

    Hell I'm going to buy nothing today, I just am not feeling it.

    I'm probably not going to mix til after vaca but I've made a note to do a fruit mix with the Gin and Tonic. That should be a pretty easy one to write up. I have a lot of tentative recipes I want to go through sometime soon and see what I can come up with for a mixing session for after vaca. I'd much rather haul out all the cases to mix a few instead of just one.

    Happy Saturday evening all!

    So after not mixing for about 2 months I’m feeling pretty successful with what I whipped up yesterday.

    I mixed 5-6 small bottles (15mls) of recipes I hadn’t made before. With all that’s been going on in life the only requirement was that they had to have only 3 possibly 4 flavors at the most.

    All came out tasty although I knew a couple needed to have the flavor percentage increased for my taste buds but I haven’t even steeped them so I won’t be making any adjustments to them at this point. I’ll put that in my notes in a week or so.

    None of the recipes are original but mostly from screenshots of simple recipes from this thread or the Dummies thread lol!

    Question for you - which flavor has the most real life bourbon taste to it? I’ve been using a FA vanilla bourbon which is not really bourbon but a vanilla added to strawberry & a cream. it’s really good but Id like something with a life like bourbon kick in it if possible.

    Not even sure if there is a real bourbon tasting flavor concentrate but if you happen to think of one please let me know. I think it would add just a little bite for the cool weather coming at some point.

    Thanks. Hope all our enjoying their evenings.

    Do you folks figure you’re all stocked up now? I’m quite sure I have more than enough. I think the only thing I need to do is check my batteries and make sure most are flat tops. I’m pretty sure that I have plenty but I will make sure.
