Random DIY mixing and More

[vaper1960]

I'm doing some quick taste tests... basically lots of different flavors with chocolate (actually pre-made smores that I added cocoa)
Quick question... I see so many videos and they are dripping into a rda. Do they just drip the next flavor on top of what's already in the wick or are they using a bunch of different RDAs? Normally I use my rda with single coil and cheap cotton (cotton balls boiled and dried) and re-wick (after dry burn) for each flavor. Right now I have dual coils in it and too much work to re-wick each time. I might just vape some unflavored between flavor tests (they will all be combined with chocolate) I'm also using rayon in the RDA, can I vape it till it's almost getting dry hits (I'm afraid of scorching the wicks)?

How much Bilberry do I need to add to my blueberry?

How much Bilberry do I need to add to my blueberry?

FA? Start low like .5%

 

[*RJ*]

I might try with tfa double chocolate at a higher percentage. I’m not sure on the cream.

I think the recipe needs a higher percentage of chocolate for sure. At least to get the total up to 10%. That may be why mine was weak.

How about just adding some cocoa and maybe a bit more raspberry?

Was there raspberry in the Mayan milk? I didn’t see any raspberry. It definitely needs cocoa in the mix for sure. My next try will use cocoa.

Yes. I have 3% blueberry (in a NET) and just want to enhance it with the Bilberry,

I misunderstood your post... you mentioned all those flavors, then the recipe... I assumed they were for that.

Ahhh I see. With all this talk of raspberry I put it on my to-buy list. I may already have some but I haven’t catalogued my flavors yet. As a matter of fact I think I do have some raspberry. I need to check before I order.

Mmmm. Raspberry makes a good vape.

Did some mixin' and some test vapin' today. Added some Bilberry to my already steeped Honduran Blueberry. I'll wait another week or so before testing. Also made some 2FTs: Honduran Blackberry, Honduran Acai, and Honduran Pineapple. Three SFTs, all strawberries. Test vaped my Honduran Tangerine. Laughable...couldn't taste any tangerine whatsoever (@ 3%). So I added more tangerine (more than doubled it). I'll re-test in a couple weeks. Currently vaping on some Honduran Peach and I'm liking it so far. Used 1/2 each White Peach (FA) and Juicy Peach (TFA).

Also broke out my second storage thingy. Cleaned it up and started in on the first drawer with four bottles.

I read something where it mentioned just putting enough cotton in to fill the coil and changing the cotton between flavors. Did you ever order that Magic pod thing that takes the cotton squares? If I’ve got several flavors to test then I’ll wick two of three ammit rdas that I bought just for flavor testing.

;5 to 1 percent for you, @Bronze . You being a busy bee.

Me too. I got the husband up here finally, he's a mess. I did some online digging about what we needed and it's a Public Insurance Adjuster (man as a SW, I gotta say, I can FREAKING find out ANYTHING.) So, that is what is needed, I found the best one in AZ, and he spoke to the husband.

He takes 15% of our total which is more than we were ever going to get out of State Farm.. Then, after that, we will see about other damages.

Social Work school doesn't really teach you therapy. I mean, a bit,. Therapy teaches you therapy. But if you go to a GOOD school, it teaches you to research the HELL out of ANYTHING and I so I was all finding cool links, to finding more links to finding more links etc.

He knew our adjusters, LOL, so he said. It wouldn't shock me it's not a large field but once you find out what one is, you can then (if you are me) listen to the husband's nervous breakdown when really, he needs to CHILL and take his meds , and also know (if you are me) that for 15% of your total payout (which is more than we were ever going to get from State Farm) and THEN once that is done.... More can be done. But for now? Soon to be out of our hands and completely in the hands of a Paid Employee which just HAS to happen.

The husband is a complete mess. It got so bad, I suggested he call my mom for sympathy (I had already sympathized for a long time.) He should have, she's the best at it, but he couldn't bring himself to do it, LOL . So eventually, I had to THREATEN him with it, because he wouldn't just go take his meds, he had to be all like "I want to kill the adjustor" and I was like "COOL GO FOR IT!!!!!!" Which he actually needed. LOL. OMG.

Also we get to stay another year if we want, without like a rent increase. Our landlord told us we were the best tenants he has. So, I guess that's good,

I had to hear all about a nightmare and how this white figure was like, "Don't do anything more bad or stupid, just get to the bridge. Go to the bridge."

He asked me what it meant and I was like, "DUDE your dreams and at times your life suck SO Hard, I can only appear energetically. Besides, if you knew it was me, you would argue, so just RELAX and we will see what's what,. You are on the bridge."

Public Adjuster dude was crazy reassuring, man.
Yoga today plus (maybe) the husband? IDK. LOL.

Poor guy .OMG, I cannot even imagine

Um, I don't test on RDAs, since, to me, they have a different flavor profile than my usual tanks. So, for me, I do all my testing in my usual tanks.

I do use rayon, exclusively. Yes, you can vape it almost dry with no problems. It actually has a higher temp tolerance than cotton.

I broke down and bought the Purilum Butter Mint. I resisted and resisted but finally, my willpower just couldn't hold back my curiosity. An sft gave me a nice authentic mint with the texture of a soft dessert mint but without any sweetness, which was surprising. I tried several combinations before landing on this, which to my taste, is perfect. I am so glad I gave in to temptation. If you are a mint fan, give this a try. I am really enjoying it!

Creamy Pillow Mint
Butter Mint (Purilum) 3%
Cream (Flavorah) 1%
Cream Fresh (Panna Fresca) (FA) 1%
Holy Vanilla (DIYFS) 1.5%
Marshmallow (FA) 1%
Super Sweet (CAP) .5% (Optional as you get some sweetness from both the Vanilla and the Marshmallow)
WS-23 30% .75% (Optional or to taste)

Substitutions: I chose FLV Cream as the "heavy" cream in this recipe but I think your favorite heavy cream would work just as well - VTA Sweet Cream, any Bavarian Cream, Devon Cream (CCW, CC, VTA), whatever your favorite might be. You could probably also double up on the Cream Fresh and not notice a huge difference.

I love Holy Vanilla but know that not everyone has it. My second choice would INW Shisha Vanilla.

That's how I was doing it with a single coil (but a bit of short tails on the wick)

That's what I thought. After I do quick tests, I wait a few days (let em steep just a bit) then test in my little drop-in coil MTL (test, dump, vape unflavored, dump and so on) but today I'm in a hurry... a few drops of chocolate, a few drops of another flavor, then on to the next flavor (with chocolate) I have even heard of people testing without a wick... now that's quick and dirty! Just a dry burn between flavors.

PJ (Pam... I think I remember you saying that before) Glad you like the butter mint. I made a thread on using it with a variety of different flavors:
Uses for Butter Mint
My favorites (so far) are smores (with extra cocoa) and vanilla custard (unfortunately the only creamy flavor I have) Very odd but peanut butter banana came in third. Works will most fruits except grape (but I don't like grape anyway) Favorite fruit with it was honeydew.

That sounds great. I’ll skip the ws23 but definitely want to try it.

That...and without a bloody hand in front of me.

Yes,that too.
