Random DIY mixing and More

@PeterKay said "
Because it was on sale by the company where I was getting my nicotine solution, free shipping as well since I was buying the nic. Costed as much as 60ml of other concentrates. I actually bought 2x 500ml bottles, watermelon and the other was pineapple+strawberry." (for some reason quote doesn't always work???)
I can't argue with a great deal I forgot to mention, that Water Malone... I think you cab also find the exact recipe and make it yourself.

 

[PeterKay]

I forgive you

Just a silly joke, hope you don't mind

I also love River Supply... and I like many of their Purilum flavors (very affordable too) Scored a bunch of the discounted (half price) ones too. Very affordable nic too.

I just found UK supplier that has them, and quite affordable as well

When I first started DIY, I read and would frequently doublecheck the many hints, tips, recipes, and other useful info. from Bill's Magic Vapors. One main thing I noticed was he always used TFA Sweetener for sweetness in his recipes. He'd use TFA Cotton Candy (ethyl maltol) in a recipe, (not as a sweetener as many think it is), but if/when the harshness of some fruit flavors needed to be "toned down". He warned about it having a tendency to "mute" those flavors though, if too much was used. Sometimes he'd use TFA Sweetener and TFA Cotton Candy...in the same recipe, since they served 2 different purposes.

That is good to know... thanks!

You ate paste??

We all did... it's harmless starch.

 

[vaper1960]

I asked the sweetener question not too long ago and here is the list I made:

I like the idea of using Meringue, Marshmallow, Honeysuckle if it works with the recipe.

Not all I’m afraid

Personally, I use TFA Sweetener probably 9 times out of 10...when I need a little sweetener. I've never had a problem with it muting flavors. Rarely I'll use Cap Super Sweet or 1 of the versions of Rick's Sugar Daddy sweeteners. I don't care at all for the aftertaste I get from the Cap Super Sweet in eliquids. If I try some eliquid another person made, and it contains it...I can tell it in a heartbeat. But, since I help others learn to DIY, I keep some on hand anyway in case they prefer it.

I'm glad a variety of sweeteners are available though, to better suit everyone's tastes. I don't think most who DIY would be "happy campers" if there weren't several options.

I never used EM or cotton candy, because of the muting it caused, I never needed to tone down a flavor either, I always had a lot of respect for Bill though. I used the TFA for around 5 years with no problem, it was just that muting report, that made me want to try the Cap. The TFA I never used above 1%, with the Cap I have never used above 0.50%. If there is a after taste with the cap, I have never noticed it.

I checked my stash... I actually have FLV sweetness
Cap is probably??? the most used though, or at least it seems like I see it in recipes more often

There are quite a few other choices out there today, I never tried any of the other ones.

If you use very wee amount of sweetener would it matter greatly what kind? Just curious, I don’t use any sweetener.

 

[PeterKay]

These cap ss ingredients scared me a little bit so I started researching a little bit. I just found both sucralose and ethyl maltol in powder form, has anyone had any joy using these from scratch?

I do believe there are different types of white hair. Mine is soft and lays down. My friend has the kind that is wiry and sticks up with a weird jaggedness down it's length. She is also not 100% white so they really stand out against her dark natural hair. I would color too if I had whites like that.

Maybe because we both went white so young? Mine is soft, straight and baby fine. I finally stopped having it colored after the oldest’s wedding. It was expensive and had to be done every 3-4 weeks or the skunk stripe was too wide to camouflage lol. My grandmother went white in her early 30’s and colored it up to the day she died just short of her 103rd birthday. I’m just not vain enough to keep it up. I don’t have wrinkles, so I don’t think it ages me.

I also found this:

Rick's SugarMama 30ml

They claim there's no chemical aftertaste

I see a lot of white haired ladies when I get to a store. I think it looks nice on most.

Years ago I got behind a young gal with long white hair. When she turned around I saw she was a very good looking young guy.

Just curious but if you dislike sweet vapes as much as I do, why do you have 2 sweeteners?

Probably the same reason I do. When I started mixing, many recipes used it, so I bought some. I also have mts vape wizard, unopened.

The recipe I use for Water Malone:
Double apple-cap-4%
Watermelon-fa-3%
Dragon fruit-cap-2%
Honeydew melon-jf-1%
Sweetener .5% (which I leave out, I don't even own a sweetener)

You are right of course, it probably makes no difference at all.

Thank goodness you can still enjoy them even if it turns out I can't.

Where did you get Gingerbread Extra Ginger? I always got it from WL but they took it off the list. Then I ordered some from Flavor Jungle. The order got lost and by the time they resent it they had taken it off their list. The only place I can find it now is Perfumers Apprentice and they only have it in 4oz size. I only use small amounts so that would be a 20 year supply.

Probably for the folks that want a taste

I'd flavor paste. I mean, it's got a good texture to it and all. Those little spoons are SO handy. If only I knew then what I know now in elementary school, I could have made a killing.

So, @FranC it was supposed to be STRAIGHT to the yoga. But, I had to check mah applications the only couple closing today are all ferocity about the freaking TRANSCRIPTS but eh they weren't my favorite, so.

I admit it (Dollar General did not have enough Diet Pepsi, I think the truck has not returned since my last visit. I had to go to Food City ALSO but that's COOL because I found chicken livers which I have NOT been able to find since the "First time." I am so excited to cook them.

Yeah I was gonna go do Yoga right away only I was all hot and thirsty and like, IDK I sat down and then things happened etc. It's frustrating. I even wore my yoga clothes but I HURT man. So, I admit it, I d-did it, I took some aspirin in the hopes I'd feel better and a TINY bit of Tylenol. My hurts are muted, and like I feel BETTER kinda, but I still prefer Ibuprofen. But if it doesn't make me more ill (which how would I know, really?) I may try some yoga after 4 or whatever. IDK.

The bugs are just gonna have to wait.

Almost no one is wearing a mask out there anymore. So that was pretty sweet except for me because I was trying to protect OTHER people man. So I'm still TIRED and that is bad but I might try some yoga after my Adderall who knows.

I have several strawberry flavors that I never use. I was feeling hopeful on those days. You show me a mixer who LOVES all their flavors and I say, "You LIE."

That's mah plan sticking to it. I can't IMAGINE how aspirin can be bad for COVID my headache is like GONE. I guess I will be finding out. But Advil is definitely the suck.

It's just like crying when you cross your legs on the mat isn't so great either. Although, I might watch a yoga vid where the instructor cried the whole time. They are taught to have "happy yoga face" too it's not the easiest frankly, I usually have angry/focused face, I probably terrify people.

Bull City. I ordered it at the end of last October.

That's funny because years ago I saw someone (from behind) with long hair and a nice "azz"... he turned around and gave me that look (like oh not again!) He had a mustache (so did I) so I knew really quick my mistake

Yea, I found it... exactly what you posted but with FLV watermelon (and yes... doesn't need the sweetener... come on Wayne... do you have to use it in EVERY recipe?)
Just wanted to mention that I love using Dragon fruit as a sort of universal flavor with other fruits.
I'm very interested in (CAP) Honeydew but would like to hear your opinion on (JF) Honeydew.
