    Hey Skeebo, might be an odd question but do turtles have different personalities? We've had fish, and when humans came into the room, one would hide under a log for about 10 minutes then come out. Another would come right to the glass and would follow us around the room. :D

    Anna, I've always wished I could be invisible ;)

    WOW, you're pretty spread out. Is there one place you usually spend more time at?
    About 7-8 months a year in MI, but we're also trying to sell our Texas place (which is usually our winter retreat). Texas place is more trouble than it's worth. We keep that place vacant, but in the past we've rented the MN house, which we rarely ever visit.

    Yeah, the one that's more trouble than it's worth would be the one to get rid of.

    Good afternoon. I got in a workout and got the lawn mowed. I went ahead and put down grub preventer. I grabbed a couple bottles from the cabinet. I forgot I never tried the sft of 2% mix mint. I really like it. It’s a little strong even at that percentage.

    You saying orange helps me eliminate adding more orange. *chuckles* I might try cinnamon though. Ah, Sweet Cream and Marshmallow, bet that would make something akin to a Push Up (tm) orange cream.
    Cinnamon doesn't sound good with that (and I do like cin with bakery flavors) but the "Push up" idea sounds great!

    Tried Irish cream 4%/with double chocolate clear 1%,using fireluke 2 with tx2 coil at 52.5 watts. Every puff was burning my throat and was about to dump it, but first I tried lowering my wattage to 40 watts. It was night and day at 40 watts it became a pleasant, cool, tasty vape. I always thought higher wattage gave more flavor, not this time.

    I finally have a day off and going to play with my new scale today. I have lots of mixing to do (including making two different bases (12 mg and 9 mg) Making three SFTs (Water Malone, Quick... both one-shots by Wayne and also White chocolate peppermint from liquid barn) Trying sweetener for the first time... I have no idea how much to use... it's from LB)

    I really think it depends on the recipe and flavors. I have some that are great at higher wattage and some that I like at low wattage in a mtl tank. The ry4 cream doesn't taste as good to me at 48 watts in one tank as it did at 23 watts in another tank. Both are good flavor tanks but to me some stuff just tastes better at lower watts. That being said, I'm not normally a high wattage vaper but have been doing more of it testing equipment for reviews.

    I was thinking that I would mix up a bottle of Fran's 3B cheesecake and found that I don't have FLV black currant. I do have FA so might try with that. Maybe just use it at a little higher percentage since FLV is usually more concentrated.

    I realize now that it's a matter of trial and error. It's not one size fits all. Thanks for your reply.

    Hope it's as good.

    I've read on a few places that Irish cream and chocolate go well together, but I can't find any percent recommendations.
    Irish cream-fa
    Double chocolate clear-tfa
    Milk chocolate-jf
    Help an old guy out, thanks.

    Tried Irish cream 4%/with double chocolate clear 1%,using fireluke 2 with tx2 coil at 52.5 watts.

    Yep, a lot of trial and error :)

    For me, I'd increase the Double choc to maybe 4%, maybe drop the irish cream to 3, and the same for the milk chocolate. I'd want the chocolate to be the up front flavor, and the cream just for smoothness and mouth feel.

    And quite right on the watt change. I'm a dyed in the wool tootler, usually around 8.5 watts, but even there, a change of a watt or two, either direction, can make a big difference.
