Verdict on the CLR 2 (where I substituted vanilla pudding for the vanilla bourbon) - after a full week of steeping it's very nice. The pudding complemented the other ingredients.

I wouldn't use it as an ADV, a bit too rich, complex, but an excellent changeup, great with a good cup of coffee.

I tried it with the vanilla pudding and it totally changed the dynamics of what Castle Long is supposed to be. I agree, your version is a tad too rich for me.

Good heavens, math and I are not the best of friends on a good day.

I use eJuiceMeUp for recipes. EJMU says 20 drops = 1ml. Google search says the same.

In EJMU 7 drops of FLV Cream = 1.15% (0.345g). The drops are from a 10ml BCF bottle. When I tried 1.15% FLV Cream in my recipe it was stronger than what it should be.

FW Natural Butterscotch 10 drops = 1.7% (0.51g). That was also stronger than just using drops from the 10ml BCF bottle.

Knowing flavors vary in weight likely accounts for those being stronger when using those %'s. Flavors fall into a range of 0.93g per ml to 1.07g per ml. In EJMU you can only set one weight for flavors globally.

To make matters worse, ELR's default for drops per ml = 35. I changed it to 20 (what the rest of the world says) and got the same numbers as EJMU.

Bottom line, I was too lazy to figure out the accurate numbers so I stuck with drops for FLV Cream and FW Natural Butterscotch.

For me to figure out the accurate percentages I will need to get the weight of each in total drops and then match those in EJMU or ELR.

For now, drops it is.

Heaven forbid that anyone ask me

Thank you so everyone plz feel free to tell me how you store you're vg/pg and flavors?

I store mine in the coolest place I have which is a storage chest at the end of my bed.

I finally got all my Stixx Mixx flavors mixed. I'm going to let them steep a couple of weeks before I sample them.

Nah, my rta is behaving itself. LOL. I came back all happy.; Man I love that stuff. It gets better with steeping (I have added various berries) but it's all about the Mascarpone cream cheese (wonder flavors) it has this bitter kind of bite to it, that is unlike any of my other flavoring.

It doesn't really TASTE like it but I think the best way I could describe it is brie cheese that is on it's very last legs.

You gotta remember I spent a lot of time in France though. I could probably vape that flavor straight.; I find it oddly delicious and some of you might, at a lower percentage but I am like.... ooh, awesome

I went to Walmart. I hate going there at the best of times. I gotta freaking..... Do my med box shortly then this review, and then Sigh. Yoga. Yoga and LOTS of it is part of my day every day. The old body seems to be holding up but its not as much fun when I am like, "You have to do 2 hours of yoga so you can sleep."

That seems to be the case. I am getting good at some new stuff and way strong, but it's less pleasant than when I don't "have" to do it.

Being out there was weird. The world is always weird for a few days especially when you d/c a med like Ambien. It sucks. Oh well good practice for tomorrow.

I hope my doctor is not a jerk. I really do.

I wouldn't make your message to your doc too impersonal. You need to impress upon him your need to keep up the meds you need.

No disagreement, I just aim for what I think I'll like [emoji16]

For all day use my vanilla cream or vc2 works well. The CLR pudding variant is more for if you want something kind of decadent, after a good meal.

Thank you so everyone plz feel free to tell me how you store you're vg/pg and flavors?

My working nic base lives in the fridge; my stockpile in the freezer.

Flavors, PG, and VG are in a cupboard against an interior wall in my cool, dark bedroom. I daresay it never gets over 75 in there, and that only at the height of summer. For most of the year it's in the sixties or fifties.

Well, I was gonna ask you 1st.

I went to the DIY K.I.S.S. school of math.

Or was it the Three Stooges school of Math.?.
Whatever, I gradumackated early!

 

[ShowMeTwice]

Isn’t it funny how that works out sometimes
Aiming for something but it turns out different but still good

I call those happy accidents.

I worked it out... if I am making 60 mls it's 14 drops.

All that x/100 x .375/1.789= (x+y)/3.75 is the same at 7 x 2 in my book.

I'd love to try your recipes. Sharing is caring...

I saw that the ohm meter that I ordered at FT and was supported to be shipped on 9/16 now had an unknown ship date. I cancelled it. I went to order another ohm meter and I essentially had a choice between two, a $5 Eleaf meter that ran on 2 AA batteries and had lousy reviews or $15 original Coil Master mini that ran on a 18650 and had good reviews. No brainer, right? Except I only had $6 credit from the first one because I bought during their sale. Nothing in the checking account so PayPal won't work, so I break out my shiny, new credit card that wasn't for vape purposes and dilemma solved, right? Wrong! The new shiny needs a new battery and if I'm going to order batteries, don't get just one, I got to get a full set of 4. A new set of chocolates for vaping and I can demote the Imrens to other purposes. I know I'm a bit impulsive but I hate waiting on FT and I can make a credit card payment as soon as I get paid this week.

Sounds like a plain to me

Finally mixed some stuff today and tossed out past dislikes. I mixed up a wonder flavors SC coconut pudding at SFT 2%. I had this flavoring since last year and never mixed it. Curious to try. I made 2 100mL of a new recipe variant of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It smells really good.
2% Flavorah Cinnamon Crunch
0.5% Flavorah cream
2% Cinnamon Sugar (capella)
0.5% Flavorah marshmallow
Mixed up 200mL of Turkish Tobacco
another 100mL of Cavendish (first time trying) Flavorah
I'm sending out the Cinn toast crunch to family. I will taste test first. I ran out of milk and honey so subbed out the flavorah cream.

Glad you finally got time to mix. Did you order any NETs?

No I haven't. I know I should but I have a ton of Flavorah tobaccos that I just cracked open. I'm still deciding on which ones to get.

I decanted my last River Supply nicotine. I'm trying it in my mixes today. I hope it will be okay. I think with the tobacco flavors it should be. Time will tell the story.

Just curious, is your Turkish tobacco TFA?
