Vapemail!! My order from river supply is here, 3 days from placing my order. Kudos to river supply for speedy service. Jasmine has just what I imagined it would, lightly floral and exotic. The honeysuckle is quite interesting too and I think they will play nicely with the dragonfruit with the creamy condensed milk tying everything together and smooth the edges. No recipe yet, this is my take on the aroma and taste of these flavors but I'm very upbeat and positive I'm going to create something good with this. Excited even.
Ok....made a test batch, did a shake and vaped it. Needs something to bring everything together, touch of sweetener. The flavors all work together but they dont pop. Honeysuckle and dragonfruit work well with each other and the jasmine is there to be noticed. The milk may need steeping to make its presence known but the whole thing needs to be sweeter for my taste. All in all, I'm on to something. The recipe isnt final yet till I get some sweetener. Already put in another order for that and another liter of nicotine.

Man this "Mom" mix is oddly delicious. I can't remember what I put in besides cannoli filling I want to say some fruits, but it tastes (to me) sort of like that brie you bake with honey and like, with the tiniest bit of a bite to it. I want to try adding a tiny bit of fig next.. I bet it would be awesome.

I have no idea what cannoli filling is like IRL but this stuff is awesome! I packed some plates to say I did something. Now I am resting. Soon, yoga. We DID get through everything it was kind of a rough day and well, we are EXHAUSTED. It's very tiring. My husband keeps wondering why it is tiring and I keep saying, "It's the decision making. Not only, "What will I keep, how will I make this fit in what I have, will we have enough room for the truck will be pack it correctly.... Argh. It's terrible. Mentally exhausting.

We gave my sis the Christmas ornaments already THANK GOD I am not having to deal with them.

Also, all the childhood books which like, a lot of them are by this English writer named "Enid Blyton." She wrote the best books and she would like, uh, start talking about "Gollywogs" (these sort of blackface doll, racist enough then she would break out a sentence like, "The gollywog was black as a "The N" word and as a parent you would think frantically to yourself, "OMG did my parents say the ...... to ME Is it buried in my consciousness, and you would frantically have to change like mid stream and say the "gollywogs were black as a, as NIGHT." I wanted my sis to experience that joy for herself and she called and she was like, "OMG I had NO idea Enid Bylton was so RACIST." And I was like, "Yeah, I wanted you to have that exciting experience, I just tended to use the word "night."

I am afraid like the gollywogs were also unruly, lazy and sometimes caused GRAVE problems for the other dolls but there is only so much like, whitewashing you can do, although once I was prepared, I did sit down and read the next book in the series and make sure a Gollywog was a hero, not "Naughty."

LOL.

Otherwise, fantastic books but oh my goodness the doll books were bad in particular.

Never bought there. Do they have PP?

Yes. But shipping is not free anymore. I got my Ares 2 from them--10 days door to door. Also, the more you buy from them, the less you pay--points and stuff. Pretty nifty.

I called my brother the other day to inform him I don't feel comfortable sending him and sister in law my diy eliquids due to my potential exposure to covid. I feel really bad because he is having (had) a hard time. I would feel terrible if he caught something because of me.

I wish I could order online to send eliquids to him. Anyone know of a store (that sells eliquid) that has gift certificates?

I thought about buying then shipping but it still presents risk. I wish I knew some diy'ers that are home bound who would send him eliquids but I don't. I would definitively pay for that service. It looks like I'll have to send money to him.

Plans for the day? Go to work and live another day. :) No mixing done. I'm on my last 40mL of liquid. Hopefully, Monday I can mix but the house husband has different plans.

Not a doctor, but I don't think there's any danger of infecting anybody via DIY eliquids sent my mail. Wear a mask and gloves while mixing, wipe the bottles down with Clorox wipes and you should be fine. PG and VG have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Whatever virus may be present in your home will be long dead by the time your brother receives your package.

Don't do China. Well, don't do FT anyway. Not right now. For some reason they are having a very hard time.

I REALLY wanted my precios from 3Fvape so I was wIlling to do DHL but it was discounted some holiday thing, I paid 12 bucks. One week though. So glad I have them. Officially my favorite RTA of all time followed but the Rose 3.

I'd love a Fumytech vape but especially the BD vape stuff, PRICY...,

I ruffled some feathers the other day with my post on flavors and NETs, but I've had difficulty addressing that. Though I believe that trying to recreate something we already know as real diminishes it's signature, that doesn't mean that the effort is not worthwhile. In the case of combustible tobaccos especially, that recreational effort is one I consider very worthy.

I appreciate y'alls efforts to approximate the experience, in a healthier, non-traditional way. I've tried it myself, in my own limited fashion, but fallen short of personal satisfaction. The best I achieved was with toasted red oak chips, soaked in Makers Mark bourbon, evaporated then combined afterwards with Peter Stockebye English.#51, in a room temperature PG soak for 1 month.

It was good, but not as good as I'd hoped. I don't have enough experience with NET's, especially others creations, to say it's only a tribute, and impossible, to make something equal to the original creation. My experiences are limited to what I know, so I apologize for those I offended with that earlier post.
