I just SFT’d Cocoa (WF) recently. Hopefully, the FA version is better.
It’s supposed to taste like unsweetened cocoa powder, not hot chocolate. People were using it to “darken” berry flavors, or cut sweet in desserts depending on who was reviewing. Sounded worth a try. It’ll have to be a dft, just have to decide what to use as my constant, fruit or cream??? It sounds a bit bitter like baking cocoa. I’m hoping it might round out a chocolate and take away the tootsie roll taste I get with some.

The cocoa from WF was very grassy. Others may have a different word for it but that's what I call it. Like eating fresh hay. Perhaps there are different versions of cocoa but this one ranked as unvapeable to me. Got about five puffs and it went down the drain. I'd be interested in your take on FAs version.

    You could try using it with a sweet cream and see if it cuts sweetness Be interesting.:)

    cocoa fa......
    What fruit do you find the most unbearably sweet? And which cream? I’d like to test it on the “worst offenders”. Thinking too maybe with Cap butter cream, or VTA white chocolate/vta love to see if it’ll make a semi sweet chocolate.
    @Bronze , I’ll have to go back and look at your chocolate notes and pick one that was more dollar store than premium chocolate and see if it rounds it out. I haven’t tried my mb glamour chocolate yet, but I have a few to pick from

    Memory don"t work here. I gave all my super sweet flavors away. Pick something to sweet for you.

    I'm still using the original pod on my podstick. However, I did start rotating in a second podstick so I can't say for sure how long I've been using the original but know it's been well over a month.

    Ok, hold the presses, I have Fa Cocoa. No sft that I can find. Looking at more recent sft's I have some flavors I like but they are a tad too sweet for me. Need to be mixed with something to take some of that sweetness away.

    I did exactly what I was afraid I would do and mis-set both alarms (HOW? Although they are both new) but like, I really suck. Thank God I had informed my team I would be in late due to labwork so no one freaked. Although.... I'm still gonna get it put on my yearly evaluation as like, a freaking "problem" honestly. "Cannot call out of work in a timely fashion."

    I need Mr,.A he double checks my alarms and like also is an early riser so eh. But still, It's embarrassing. I'm supposed to like, give lifestyle advice and stuff, like TELL people what to do with their kids, health, etc. AND I can't call out sick successfully. Jeez.

    Oh well, we all have our Achilles Heel and mine appears to be "calling out without a problem."

    BUT miraculously my doc saw my email and called. I forgot like he works different places. However PLEASE pray hard because he also said he couldn't "make it work" at his job (I HOPE because I was not a patient) but he would "Try again" from his office and I SWEAR if he F's it up, I will cry.... Because really I am clearly doing very badly myself.

    He BETTER. Only I have never seen an MD/PhD SO TERRIBLE with technology. Over the course of my treatment with him, he has learned to use the copier and is VERY proud. The secretaries will STILL not allow him to fax though. So, I am fearful of his skills. I called, my pharmacy has it in stock so please everyone TRY to like pray or whatever you do that my doc can successfully send an e-prescription that I can go get this afternoon, take, and it resets my brain.

    I mean I know it's gonna reset my brain, but like, only if I can actually GET IT. Oy.

    Oh, I also just got shipping from Gremlin. I did get just one new flavor, Wild Strawberry Tea by Stixx.
    Hi! I have a question about Stixx mix. Does it gunk up coils? Just curious and all. I made a order at Gremlin and thought about getting a few but didn't. The flavorah sale is amazing. Someone bought the Irish cream I had in my cart! LOL It was the last one so maybe it was a competition on how fast I checked out. :)

    If you mean the teas, IDK. This is my first time trying them. The NET's I tried in the past and didn't have a clogging problem with them.

    Bummer on the Irish Cream. You could go to BCF?

    @FranC , my doc's movements around are a complete mystery to me. I could call, I think the PHONE message itself like, says "secretarial hours" and they're like half the week. None on Monday. I don't even know how he got my message, honestly. I don't think there will be a secretary there, and even if there is, unless she is knowledgeable in epresribing (she isn't) well, IDK. I just emailed my doc with a bunch of questions and told him I was gonna stop taking what I have.

    It will suck, but this is starting to give me the heebie jeebies not only can I NOT focus, I just don't feel good at all, I can't remember when my mood was this bad honestly. I'm sort of edgy with a side of suicidal and worst case, well, I will have no energy and not try to drive to Sierra Vista at 7 am. I don't' think I can do much else. IDK. I don't even know if he is at HIS office yet.

    I mean, I just looked at the clock and was like, "There is no way it is 2 pm." I now have my slippers on. It's cold, but like, it's also one step closer to smoking a cigarette in the garage, man.

    This really sounds like here we go again. I think it would be a wonderful idea if you call Mr A and tell him you are going to lose this big paying job if he doesn't come ASAP. Let the contractors finish the dang job.
