    Boo. I have a grudge against the Giants. They beat my Cardinals a couple times in the playoffs in the last decade.

    Man back in the 80's they has some classic series against the Cards. Good stuff. But yeah in '10, '12 and '14 they were unbeatable in the playoffs.

    Hope everyone is doing well in here. BTW I love FLV caramel. I bought it for a marshmallow treat recipe. I think it was a smokyblue recipe. https://..................../recipe/3344775/Smoky Blue's Rice Crispy
    It's a little light but I can vape it. I make it for family.
    My fifth covid test was negative. I'm sure I'll be tested in a week or so. Covid patients are increasing at work.

    I love my chocolate vapes (although they do tend to taste like "tootsie roll") Unfortunately, they do seem to be coil/wick killers. :( Same for coffee (and I love it too) Haven't tried both together (maybe when I know it's time to rebuild and just say what the heck)
    Tootsie roll is the best I can get chocolate to taste. That seems to be the best anyone can get it to taste. That dont cut it for me.

    I don't think caramel and butterscotch taste at all similar but it was one of those foods I encountered after my tastebuds were set (unlike @FranC with her shark tastebuds that are fresh and sharp although she doesn't like it either) and like, it was an "American candy, " and well, I suppose the first "candy" you try after Belgian Chocolate or whatever is gonna make you hurl, and that was Butterscotch for me.

    So @Bronze can't vape like, chocolates, and I can't vape butterscotch. Maybe I should try a recipe of chocolate called "You can't too vape a good chocolate" and Bronze could make me one that like is called, "Butterscotch not gonna hurl."

    Although after his horrified reaction to like my lack of headroom in my frozen nic it would definitely have to be a written recipe.

    Oh, I bottled up the rest of nic in GLASS!! It all fits. You know the weird thing? The only nic that I left in glass for ANY period (Nic river the oldest, and Heartlands the youngest but not that young, well the only stuff that went oxidized at ALL was the Armor V1 nic (the kind that comes in plastic.) I don't think it was more than 6-7 months old and interestingly, I had enough glass to rebottle like, ONE bottle of Armor nic which was completely clear and odorless. This got... well actually kind of butterscotch colored. I am definitely going to use it first.

    And I DEFINITELY recommend like, putting your nic in glass. I am glad I did it. Headroom left. I am gonna have to use that nic first I think.

    Caramel and butterscotch are both nothing more than cooked sugars.

    In rl I like caramel and dislike butterscotch. In vape juice I can’t taste caramel and dislike butterscotch.

    Maybe they're vaping it? That is not right, shouldn't happen with FedEx or anyone else.

    I'm watching baseball, my beloved horrible Giants. Last night they were down 6-3 and won 7-6! I was amazed.

    Made Baby Back Ribs earlier in my regular Foodi, they were spectacular as always LOL.

    I have no doubt that usps opened and kept all but six of my flavors the first time it shipped. It had been opened and retaped. It was a flat rate box. Fedex has lost three packages on me the past few months. I’m beginning to think they lost this one too.

    Didn't see this before my other post. I think the smoked butterscotch sounds interesting from the descriptions I have read on ELR. Many say the "smoked" component can be a tad strong if used over 2%. I am noticing it's used with a lot of tobacco recipes as well. I need to start trying it.

    I agree with hittman in regards to Butterscotch Ripple FW. It's a good one.

    I am vaping a tasty two flavor mix right now. Caramel butter WF and Butter Pecan Pie WF are very nice together.

    I hope everyone has been well.

    Caramel butter makes anything good.

    I sure hope not. I’d be raising he— about the lost packages.

    Are you doing that yourself (I'm a mechanic and very good a brakes if you need advice)
    I am doing that myself. I'm not a mechanic per se, but I'm very mechanically inclined. Brakes are pretty easy for me, especially disk brakes. I replaced all the rotors and pads myself last year. I didn't get around to the front brakes yesterday due to lack of time. But I ordered a wheel stud and lugnut, and replacing a stud is something I've never done before. It's weird that this Kia soul has a different stud for the rear and front. Finding the rear stud locally was impossible, as they couldn't find it online either, but I found a genuine kia stud online for like $10. Typically the generic ones they sell at an auto store are like a dollar. I appreciate your offer for advice and may need it for that!! :)
    As mechanically inclined as I am, there was no fixing the bathroom faucet. It cracked on the inside and that's why it "exploded", so.. I believe this falls under a manufacturer defect. Good thing it has a 10 year limited warranty on such things, so I'll be reaching out to that company asap.
    What a great way to start the day, but.. how the tides can turn. When grocery shopping last night, they finally had our frozen vegan pizza we like in stock after being out of stock for months and months. So I loaded up on those like some degenerate hoarder. Mine!! :D I suspect there's probably like one other person who buys them (sorry, not sorry stranger! :lol:) There are other vegan pizzas but none of them are good and way too expensive for not much pizza at all.

    I won one in a contest here on ECF... loved it at first (like the 0.5 ohm pod the best) but they do leak (maybe I made the juice too much PG but most pods like that) Otherwise it's a great pod system. What juice (VG/PG ratio) are you using?
    I use 80 vg and haven't had leaking issues.

    I emailed BCF yesterday and they have a tracer on it but I haven't heard anything. I also called Fedex yesterday and let the rep know that this location has lost packages on me before. He took my number and said they would call with an update but of course I've heard nothing.

    Jeez louise, I hope these flavors are supreme. You've sure been put through the ringer to get them, and you still haven't received them!

    I know. I was very excited to get all the new WF flavors at one time and got six out of the 22 in the usps shipment and now Fedex won't deliver. I'm almost positive at this point that they have lost the package.

    Morning, mixers.

    Need to go out and mow the dandelions. Even though we've not had rain for so long my toe webs are starting to crack, and the grass hasn't grown an in since the last time, they're nearing a foot tall.... do they steal all the water?

    Caramel and butterscotch are both nothing more than cooked sugars.

    And?

    Because either one of em's cooked wrong, or they are different sugars.

    I mea3n, you can caramelize many things, including sherry and Vidalia onions. Or butter and etc.

    If fedex ever decides to deliver my WF sample pack then I’ll do a sft of the abc. It’s been sitting at the local fedex depot for four days.

    That's been my normal experience with Fedex. Stuff travels pretty fast but once it gets to the local Fedex depot it stops for a while. Generally 1, 2 or 3 days. And that's been the case from before the virus hit. They are presumably short staffed now as well.

    Good luck.

    Vaping since 8/9/2012
    I was worried about the shipping of my new pressure washer from Lowe’s. They sent the surface cleaner attachment the next day. And it looked like they were saying all delivered and it had me worried. I looked this morning and the tracking page changed to a Monday delivery so now I feel better. I’m excited and want to do my driveway. I see an off day in my future.

    Son withdrew from his class and I don’t think it affects his scholarship. Sigh. I told him I failed psychology because I hated it and just quit going to class so I get it. I know how hard thermo is as well. He retakes it this fall. o_O Momma is gonna have to pull from the dark recesses of her brain to help tutor him. Been a while since I had that class.

    It’s Friday thank goodness.
