I've got mine the same way, got plenty of room for my vape supplies in the basement, but flavors and mixing supplies just all loose in a cabinet, and I mix upstairs, I was thinking of getting one of them cleaning caddies like this

Just load in what I need to take upstairs, and easy to transport up and down :)
Good Idea, I might do this.

I will, Fran. My house is really cold, and the cupboard where I steep is even colder; I should probably double steeping times in the winter.
I never even thought about that! My bathroom is icy year round. The thermometer on the little clock on the hub’s side said 63* this morning :eek:. I keep my mixing and steeping stuff on my side in the closet.

    Good now?

    Yes except we noticed an exhaust leak in the flex tube in the middle of the exhaust. I know someone through my work that owns a muffler shop so I’ll take it tomorrow and let them fix it.

    I had not decided an NO I did not get a chance to build one, but my house is cleaner than I had any right to expect, and like, I am a KILLER cleaner. I know many many tips and tricks, from like being a home cleaner when the kiddo was small. Like some people mop floors 3 times to clean them, ending with water..

    I believe that to be insane, and the key is knowing your solvents. Like, if you put the RIGHT amount o f simple green and something like "Fantastic" or whatever it is called (usually oh, 4 times the recommended amount, well you only have to clean them once. You can let your water get dirtier than you would usually. For example. The simple green reduces any slipperiness from the soap and it works great.

    Sometimes, those Women For Whom I cleaned would question my use of their products and I would be "Oh, I'm sorry, I mopped the floor 4 times. Would you like me to not do that next time?" Then, they shut up. Also, by technicality I DID mop their floor four times. It's so clean in here, I am recovering before I try to eat. I am not anxious at ALL yet about my performance review tomorrow, too tired. I did set my 2 alarms while coherent and if I had a third, I might set it also.

    Other than that, que serra serra. Also when I clean I don't use gloves. You have to be at one with the dirt. When I cleaned other homes I used gloves and I am here to tell you that if you are not one with the dirt, you cannot effectively remediate it.

    I will have to try the citric acid thing. LOL.

    HUSBAND TOMORROW. :)

    I'm so sad right now: I'm finally trying your SB (I mixed it a month ago), and I can't taste the strawberry. Stupid taste buds.

    Is that normal for you- not being able to taste strawberry? Have you sft different strawberries at maybe higher Percentage than what the recipe calls for?

    You’ve probably done all that. I’m just thinking out loud. I find that at lower percentages I have a difficult time trying to get the strawberry flavor as well. I end up doubling some strawberry %s sometimes even more depending on which strawberry concentrate I’m using. That brings me back to sft’s. I’ve determined which strawberry concentrates are more detectable to me and will often sub those instead of using what the recipe calls for. I try to stay with similar flavor notes as much as possible so as not to change the recipe too much.

    Out of all the flavors I got from Gremlin there is only one new one to sft. That is the Stixx Wild Strawberry Tea. Hoping to continue feeling better and I will mix some tomorrow
    I just ordered that one, my first tea. I’ll be eager to see your thoughts!

    Good morning mixers. No work this week but my internal alarm woke me at 5:30. Just as well though since I realized that I forgot to take the garbage and recycling out for the pick up. I’m really liking the butter rum cavendish from stixx. It’s got just the right amount of natural sweetness for me.

    Does it taste like butter or rum?

    It’s a little sweet like pops nets. I’m not great at explaining flavors but I would say more like a butterscotch rum taste but not sweet like butterscotch flavor. Just that natural net sweetness.

    Does anyone know if the two peppermints on Gremlin’s sale have peppermint oil in them? I guess I could look them up on other sites that have ingredients. :facepalm:

    Today I had planned to pick up a last minute second gift I bought mom but I got notice it’s delayed until after 6 pm tomorrow. :blink: Great.

    So today I plan on doing laundry and going through paperwork that has gotten out of hand. Normally I keep up with it but I’ve been busy and it has piled up. I need to go to Mom’s and wrap gifts that my brother and family bring over if they ever do. They ignored the memo to get it done early. They are always late with everything and Mom is stressed.

    I had a wonderful rainy day yesterday sitting in my PJs and being lazy. Loved it.

    So I made my gremlin order

    • 1 x Egg Nog (TPA) - 30ml
    • 1 x Holiday Spice (TPA) - 30ml
    • 1 x Peppermint (TPA) - 30ml
    • 1 x Candy Cane (FW) - 30ml
    • 1 x Gingerbread (CAP) - 30ml

    I just got the sale items this time and it was only $10.57. Been doing some price comparisons and on some of the items I wanted, other vendors are cheaper.
