Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

OH those illnesses are the SUCK, really. Be nice to yourself and stay away from mirrors. That's what I do. I don't need to know what I am going to look like after I am dead.

Feel better! Moving is the worst, it's all stressful and you get exposed to new viruses. They say it is number 2 on the stress list.

I believe it. It's only recently I have stopped walking into walls, doors, hitting my head on stuff, you name it. I hate moving. I have done it way too much recently.

Happy healing thoughts your way!
Anna

Happy to say I haven’t run into any walls or anything lately

Mixing is over for the day (a few days). Tried my 1/2 melon Honduran Melon. It's perfectly fine and just a matter of preference. Some difference but not a whole lot of difference, truthfully. I decided to lower the melon component in my final recipe by 1/4. It's fine there. So I mixed 65mls.

I figured the Honduran Ligero worked real well in this melon recipe I decided to try other fruits using the same recipe. So I mixed a Raspberry and a Berry Mix. Also tweaked that Chocolate Malt recipe.

I'm gonna need to order more Stixx Mixx.

Yeah,I think the other fruits would be better for me but I’ll still try the melon

The Honduran Ligero lends itself well for fruits. Works well if you want the fruit without the heavy cream-like flavor base. If I were you, I would cut the melon component in half versus the recipe I posted a few weeks back. Depending on the fruit, a touch of sweetener can be useful too. Just enough to bring up the flavor of the fruit and no more. Seems to work well with the melon. I'll find out with the raspberry.

What berry flavor did you use?

What berry flavor did you use?

Let's see. In one blend I used 2% Raspberry (FW) plus 2% Raspberry (FA). In another blend I used 4% Berry Mix (TFA).

I'm finally getting better after a 2 week cold... BUT I have no sense of taste or smell. Mixed some new flavors and letting them steep (hoping to actually get try them soon) The only mint I have is Purilum Butter Mint... love it (was in the middle of doing quick tests mixing it with other flavors when this cold got me)

Glad you’re getting better. Hope you get taste and smell back soon

Sorta and only for a minute.i ‘ve basically been lying in bed sleeping off and on for the last 24& hours.No energy at all to pick up this iPad. No appetite but a I did eat a little. Don’t quote me but I think I feel like I have a bit more life.

I hope you’re starting to feel better Fran!

I’m so far behind on this thread I’m only going to read the last 2 or 3 pages.

I haven’t been following along because I haven’t been able to mix for over 2 months. I’m hoping that this week I can mix up at least two simple recipes.

I miss mixing and I miss everyone on this thread. I just didn’t have anything to share.

Only 7 of my order were FLA and all but one are 15 ml, 2 have the queer bottles I hate.

I really don’t like those bottles and thought they were going to stop using them according to something I read on elr a while back. But I guess not. Too bad because those bottles are a pita to work with and store with my other flavors.

Never vaped mint at all? Wow. I’ve been vaping straight TFA Peppermint in a carto tank for years.

ive never vaped mint either and have no desire to either. I don’t mind mint flavored toothpaste or mouthwash but that’s about the extent of my mint use.

I had a bad experience in my teens with peppermint patties and a bit too much to drink lol!!

I hope you’re starting to feel better Fran!

I think I am, should know for sure tomorrow

You need nothing to share. Just stop by to chat now and then.

I had to go out with my wife and daughter to finish the last of the Xmas shopping. I checked the mail and finally got my two boxes of 1.2 z coils. Still no gremlin order though.

My gremlin order got bumped to Monday. I realized when I was cleaning out my emails, I had a Chef’s order that shipped 12/2. Its never taken this long. Of course, cheaped out and didn’t get tracking.
I mixed an impromptu eggnog today.... FLV & FW eggnog, vta brandy and a little madagascar vanilla (vanilla bourbon is in the awol gremlin order). As a snv test, I get a hint of nutmeg and maybe clove????, and the rest is light. I’ll let it settle out, maybe drop the % of the FW next go. I think that’s where the spice is coming from. Not getting “brandy” out of it either

I tried your original Honduran Melon (modified by using FLV Wild Melon instead of the TFA Honeydew, which I don't have, and using Cotton Candy (EM) instead of the TFA Sweetener).
Pretty good juice. The melon at this % works well for me. But, I will try it at lower % next time and see.

What kind of mint is the Butter Mint? Peppermint?

Yeah, everyone will like different percentages. Try a few and see what works best for you. That’s what I did. Not sure of the potency of wild melon but honeydew is very potent.

Yes but not an in your face peppermint like a candycane, more mellowed out
