Random DIY mixing and More

[stols001]

I don't need a thermostat, the husband had it at 75 degrees I was gonna pull out my winter hat. Now it is getting cold outside.

Weird stuff happens with flavors, Like that chocolate toffee mix I adjusted to, I accidentally filled it up halfway with peaches and cream and I was like, "Oh God, well just try vaping it a for a while. It's actually good. Like the chocolate is all up in your grill and its then got this weird undertone of peaches and cream it's sort of okay.

Either that or I am doing one hell of a number on myself because the idea of rewicking anything just SUCKS. That is also always a possibility.

Ooh bed so soon yah!

Sleep well... I hope you are feeling better soon. Maybe dream about James and the Giant Peach... but covered in chocolate and floating in a ocean of cream (yea, I'm a nut)

@FranC - I have FLV Pastry Zest and have used it in exactly ONE recipe. It was a lemon turnover I mixed up for my son's friend and not up my alley at all, though it did smell heavenly. As I understand the flavor, it is more of an additive than an actual flavor. There is powdered sugar and a tart flavor that isn't really lemon but seems citrusy to me. People say at low percentages, it is a powdered sugar texture and at higher percentages, it is more of a grainy sugar texture. It could be a great additive for those who mix a lot of pastries since it works well in a fruit and pastry mix. You probably don't need it though. It adds some texture but the tart can be hard to mix over. Lemon pie, apple pie, even blueberry pie might benefit from a bit of Pasty Zest, but that is all in the taste buds of the taster. JMHO

I have been on what I call The Great Sourdough Experiment of 2020. We made a starter (Brittany's idea since we actually have SAF Instant Yeast and didn't need the sourdough starter to replace yeast.) Since she made it, as a baker, I figured we would try it out. Some of our favorites recipes have come from the discard. Once the starter got strong enough to leaven on its own, I made Overnight Sourdough Boule (which we love and I made a loaf of that every day this week), Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting (excellent and about half as sweet as Cinnabon), and Sourdough English Muffins, which turned out really good. Our favorites from the discard are an excellent chocolate cake with a classic ganache icing and a cinnamon crumb cake. The sourdough discard gives these cakes a great texture and good moisture.

We've had no AC for over 4 hours now, we went to Ace and got a thermostat and the wife is trying to install it. Not going well, and my left knee is so bad I can't hardly walk so I can't help.

Hope that got fixed.

Thanks,Pam. I read that review on reddit. Not sure if I’ll ever find a use for it. Good luck with the sourdoughs, sounds tasty.

I found this feature in elr that highlights the flavors used in recipes in your flavor stash. That’s just your recipes in elr. So that was 41. Then I went through the list and found other flavors I’ve used but the recipes are not in elr. So I’ve used 55 of my total 198 flavors. Neat feature! And more flavors than I thought. I’m thinking of making a five fruits with cream recipe. I have a lot of fruit I haven’t tried.

 

[FranC]

Sounds tasty

To eat.

 

[FranC]

I didn’t even know there was a rose flavor.

There is.

 

[FranC]

We have AC! The wife did it and I can feel cold air. Wish I could've done something but at least it works.

I have a lot of flavors I haven't tried - I'll have to mix some up!

That’s great

Good morning random folks Have you any plans today? I may mix one of my concoctions.

So I came up with a recipe of flavors I haven’t used! I named it Citrus Cream x 5 since it has five fruits and five creams. I’m vaping premade since I haven’t had time to mix so I think I’ll go make this recipe now. I need some juice. I used recommended %s except grapefruit. I lowered it from 8%. We’ll see. It sounds good to me and very fresh. I have another fruit concoction in the works kinda similar to this one. Maybe later on that one. And thanks @Zazie for the simple text tip.


Citrus Cream x 5

1.25% Catalan Cream (FA)
2.00% Grapefruit (Real Flavors)
2.50% Key Lime (TPA)
3.00% Orange Cream (LA)
2.00% Peaches and Cream V1 (CAP)
2.00% Sweet Tangerine (CAP)
2.00% Vanilla Whipped Cream (CAP)
1.00% Vienna Cream (FA)

Flavor total: 15.75%

Ok, so Freemax has been working on this new pod that they are going to send me for review. It's been three years they've been working on it and are using the same coil technology used on the fireluke for these coils. There is a 1.0 and 1.5 ohm coil. The pod is side fill that is actually nice and easy to fill or has been my experience with other side fill pods. The battery is 550mah which is decent for a pod. They said I could start sharing the picture they sent me today.

I couldn't see any pic there til I hit reply.

I didn't have the pic uploaded to a hosting site so I went to tapatalk and edited the post to add the picture. For me it's easier to do it through tapatalk than uploading the pic to a hosting site.

Just mixed 100 ml of my citrus cream x 5 (cuz I can vape anything). Put it in my freshly charged Target pm80 with a new coil. I like it. Quite tasty. Nothing offensive, not too sweet, and I get that tangy taste of the peach. Maybe the creams will come out more sitting in its warm bath. This was fun.
