He expressly asked that his recipes not be shared which I think is ridiculous but that is just me. A link is a better idea.

Yeah he says it over and over. I’ll just share the links. And the link came directly from posts here on ECF.

CLR will move to a take 2. Something seemed off, I rechecked the flavorings, it looks like my FA vanilla bourbon is funky. I'll switch to flavorah vanilla pudding, which should play nice with the other ingredients.
Mine is excellent. I had a feeling it would be a flavor that scratched an itch. I have vaped well over half of my 100 ml bottle and I just made it a few days ago.

ok so out of the 4 mods I've gotten in so far...

the capo 216 is a dud for me..it has the same issue that the capo squonker had, it's like auto set to hard mode or whatever...they tried to overpower it so that even at 10w it's not an enjoyable vape at all for me...it's entirely too hot

the ipv v3 mini was a surprise....I really didn't think that I'd like it that much...but I'm rather enjoying it...still don't like the fact that it's not a 510 so you are stuck using their elf ada's (basically just a disposable atty) and I'm not sure what the tank is made of so tank cracking juices might break it....but overall I'm enjoying it, I wish that the temp went lower on it, it only goes down to 356F but it's pleasant enough....to be honest I would feel totally comfortable giving this to someone trying to switch from smoking to vaping....there's no real menu options to confuse them with...it's an internal battery so no batteries to play with....it holds 3ml of juice...it's really more of a mtl device but gives a good restrictive dl which I'm really enjoying...it's small, lightweight, and pocket friendly, and surprisingly has really good flavor....

the battelstar I'm liking well enough, just my ocd on the gold pin instead of all black...and the pin unscrews, I see myself losing it....but it works fairly well....it will probably be one that I take out and about with me...I wouldn't feel heartbroken if I lost it, I'd be mad at myself but ya know....

the mach on3.....eeehh.... design flaw....it's a nice dual battery mod....but major design flaw on the squonking aspect....it's extremely difficult to actually squonk.....very disappointed, I wanted this bad boy for so long but....meh....you gotta really want it and really work for it to squonk it....making the mod really obsolete for a squonking device...

I had the battlestar in my cart and now I’m rethinking it. I’ve heard it unscrews. Can you superglue it in place and it still squonk?

Well, they've been out of Z and Sceptre coils for a while and I don't know if they'll be restocking. I need more coils for the Sceptre, the problem is, I don't even know if I'm going to like the device. Kinda hard to stockpile if you don't know what you're buying.

How many boxes do you guys and gals have--ballpark? For the Sceptre.

I think I bought 14 boxes.

Oh the black licorice is a success, simple recipe, but got what I wanted, has that tang black licorice should have, but it is smooth and creamy, which is what I was aiming for, it's great fresh, wonder if will get even better as it steeps, I know most don't like black licorice, but think it is good enough to share anyway :)

Do you have any updates on steeping this, Nailz? I finally got FW Black Licorice, so I'll be mixing this soon.

I wonder what black licorice would be like with INW Eucalyptus with Mint. My money's on "cough droppy."

    I’m glad I bought the Sceptre and in all fairness I haven’t tried my favored DL coils yet...but it’s just a pod. Pods are not my fav. It’ll get good use though. I need to try the DL coil for a fair review though.
    Not a true pod. It takes coils.

    CLR 2, subbing in the flavorah vanilla pudding, looks like it'll be good. A drop on the tongue after a good shake is very tasty; it should be a nice vape in a week.

    Always makes me think of this

    I think I had one bad flavoring, the vanilla bourbon. That's why I did the round 2 with vanilla pudding, from a known good bottle [emoji3]

    Steeping brought out the cream more and mellowed the black licorice, I'm still wanting to tweak more, maybe up the licorice or add another one to it, as the licorice is not strong enough for my liking.

    See I was buying into the Scepter deal but I REFUSE to get something and then not be able to gel the parts. I was getting annoyed, I was like "the FDA sucks." They are gonna make our lives HARDER SOONER than anyone realizes..... I am sorry I have had my dealings with the FDA and importation on numerous occasions and they will be BACKED by like. the Big Tobacco who will funnel them money like no ones business.

    So, feeling deprived I got the Asmodius Lustro in PURPLE I love that mod it's one of my absolute favorites: sturdy, compact (I don't know how they get 2 batteries in there, great handfeel for like 17 bucks and no shipping cost from Vapor Range and yeah, they are trying to get out of the biz ASAP I think.

    I can't say I blame them. If I was say Zen, I'd be at their door with blazing pitchforks although that guy seems WAY to smart for that but I bet he FEELS like it.

    Bummer. Bummer of a day. I got all my training done at lest and like yoga approaches.; Two setups to fix (after dinner. I think we will be eating canned soup I refused to go the grocery store because I bought ALL the stuff the husband wanted for chocolate chip cookies an it was NOT cheap starting from scratch with all the ingredients and he did not cook them. He is refusing to drive my car. We will probably wind up skeletons.

    When we had a car the last time. I drove him to work almost every day. Course. l had important meetings and stuff regarding retrieving my kid into my legal custody etc. But you'd THINK he would go to Walmart one day . I am WHIPPED and currently trying to find a pdoc who will endorse my valium habit I CANNOT go back to dropping things man, and ALSO I CANNOT uh, shake and tremor like I did. It sucks especially combined with Adderall. I mean I get it. The other stuff. I can do without but MAN I am a mess at present.

    Yeah I get the opioid crisis but that as been going on for decades. Don't make DUMB laws that scare docs, .EDUCTATE!!

    The annoying thing is I was NOT anxious with the valium the doc gave it to me for a back throw out and I was like "Dude this SO works for my tremor and we agreed on an amount and WELL the other stuff I can do without soon no Ambien soon no temazepam but like 50 mg of Valium is NOTHING to play at. You can take the sleepy barely able to work month or so, but QUADRUPLE IT WITH PAIN PAIN anxiety, ect. as you detox. It is bad. . If my doc had told me the freaking scheduled medication situation was coming I would have been OH HELL NO I WILL JUST WEAR A SIGN THAT SAY WILL SPILL NO SEIZURE. HAVE NO FEAR.


    However it happens I am NOT looking forward to tapering 50 mg of Valium. I was not anxious when I took it, and I was not anxious AFTER I took it I was sleepy then FINE. OPTIMAL. Not dropping stuff. ;Yes I have tried other meds they don't work. Gah.

    Oh well gonna use psychology today, they offer a free consult. Getting on that next week;

    Husband is painting sort of yay !

    Mine would unscrew as well, too. A drop of superglue fixed that. I think that the gold atty you put on it plays well with gold pin and looks sharp.

    Damn, that basement sounds like my kind of place! I mean as long as I can get out alive and all...

    My deceased aunt in Tennessee had about 200+ acres that sat where one of the Civil War skirmishes took place. My cousins and I use to treasure hunt through old barns and shacks that still sat on her property, one of the old shacks sat right next to a Civil War cemetery. We found all kinds of stuff in that shack. Old medicine bottles, etc.. It also seemed you could not walk a 100 yards without finding a bucket full of Indian arrow heads.... great times.

    The house where I grew up must have been built on an old Indian campsite. It was a crackerbox house in a suburban city, and there were bushes planted in front of the house. Every once in a while, we'd find an arrowhead amongst those bushes.

    I have anise and absinthe as well. Maybe I'll use all three and see what happens.
