    Anyone know the rule of thumb for steeping mint/menthol? I am actually doing SFT!

    I use menthol and koolada in my menthol tobacco and it’s ok snv. Doesn’t seem to hurt anything for it to steep either.

    Ok, I've got this TFA Eggnog flavor I am going to play with. Should I add Jamiacan Rum to it?
    I haven't tried egg nog (love the real thing) but I would totally add some rum or bourbon to balance the nutmeg taste. I tried chai tea and liked it at first but quickly couldn't stand it anymore. If you find the egg nog is too much for you try mixing other flavors to save it (might be a good excuse to experiment... coffee, chocolate, maybe even french toast or berries)

    I actually really enjoyed vaping about 1.5 ml of eggnog, and found it needed nothing.

    Too bad I made like 30 ml or whatever. It will be well steeped when I am done.

    However, I must say do NOT pollute your other flavors with egg nog. Maybe brandy. MAYBE.

    Egg nog goes with nothing,I want you to think back to the last time you were sitting around drinking egg nog and going, "Dang I need some Hershey's syrup in this!"

    Never. That is how many times. Never.

    Won't know until you try it ;) I tried a dozen flavors with my butter mint and who would have thought the best one was peanut butter banana. Second best was vanilla custard... you might see where this is going. Going to try both with the butter mint.

    Quick question folks... looking for a good dark chocolate (or any strong chocolate) and many are considered "coil cloggers". I'm using n RTA so should I even worry about that? Very easy to re-wick. (I'm using clapton coils... will they gunk up bad?)
    I found Double Chocolate Clear to be one of the stronger ones. Not exactly a milk chocolate and not exactly a dark chocolate. In-between. Haven’t noticed it clogging up coils too bad.

    Double chocolate clear is pretty good IMHO. One of my happier chocolates.
    I am a big fan of One drop (it could be Nature's) white chocolate which is clear, but it is also white. White is... .well I assume you know what it tastes like.

    I am late to yoga because I found (well the husbeand found and brought) a HUGE stash of work appropriate clothes and they're great .I thought the fire ate them. But I had to create outfits.

    This is one area where the life hacker is not happy,. He is ENTIRELY correct, his assessments are the assessments of a man rasied by about 15 women relatives, and I don't MIND, in fact I was sometmies suspicious of his statements and said, "You aren't like saying this to make me go away right?" He was like, "Don't be an idiot. I'm not going to let you go to work as if you should be pushing a shopping cart! It's annoying though."

    I was like, "Oh, you need not thiink I enjoy this EITHER." LOL but he's asleep when I get up I don't even have access to a full lenth mirror.

    So mainly sit a moment, and then YOGA. I will get up at 5 am on Saturday. .IF he puts the freaking mountain climbing machine together by Friday Night. That is my deal. Hell, I'm about ready to invite some random person of probably the Mexican persuasion to do it FOR me I would PAY them.

    I never mixed my eggnog or anything else. My family keeps me busy and I’ve done a lot of housework. Watched football and still watching it. Son and I setup my Dad’s printer I gave him. I gave my son a 1000 piece puzzle for Christmas so we’ve been working on that. Got all the edges and some of the inside and sorting. It’s been a long time since I’ve done a puzzle. Took a nap after eating at Mom’s with family. Laundry and dishes. Back to work tomorrow. I think I’m ready. Already looking forward to the weekend. :lol:

    I have a bit of the after holiday blahs. You work up to the holidays with excitement then it’s suddenly over. I went today to Guitar Center and bought a carry bag for my daughters new digital piano. She’s moving in about a week and I wanted her to be able to transport it safely. It’ll come in handy also if she wants to take it places.

    I brought mostly new mixes with me to Mom’s... @FranC , your Strawberry Croissant is the undisputed winner. I’ll definitely mix a bottle to start steeping when I get home. As for the rest.....The banana bread is super banana-y, so I mixed it with Butterface (butterscotch creme anglaise). Very pleasant now. A pear/custard is pretty good good, but needs an unknown as yet tweak I think. Maybe caramel? Thai Coconut Ice Cream is almost tasteless, and the rest are vapable, just not outstanding.
    We ran to the lakehouse this morning to drop some stuff off, and check on everything. Then shopped our way back to Birmingham. Fortunately, the stores were practically empty. Managed to use up the gift cards my aunt gave me (to stores we don’t have at home). Tomorrow is supposed to be dreadfully rainy, so zero plans to leave the house. I’ll rewick my tanks and be generally lazy. And, Himself has the life-sucking plague (better known as a cold to women)... so, I’m happy I’m 314 miles away for once.
