Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

I have some more new mixes to try but I do not want to fire up another device so it will be a day or 2 before I try another. If I remember correctly I have at least a couple more iffy ones. The iffy ones are the most fun also. Not much fun when they're awful but it's always fun finding something new to vape. Always a surprise with the iffy mixes.

@Skeebo, love your pics! Buster is such a good looking puppy! And the turtle pics are awesome, I can't believe the hearts on that one!

BTW, Best buy has Assassins Creed Odyssey for $14.99. Huge deal! I'm picking up my copy this morning.

Anyway, sfts are what I do pretty much. Heck, what I vape all the time is a Lime sft. To each his own!

I ordered a case for my new phone from this website called trip trending the end of last month and they keep giving excuses and promising to ship it. I gave up and escalated a claim with paypal. I think it's a scam site but not sure.

I solve that problem by not ordering from sites I know nothing about.

Question for @FranC . I made a small bottle of straight Lemon Cake a few days back. Tried it out today. For some reason the juice is cloudy. A bit like it looks after you stir it up with an electric whisk and it's full of tiny bubbles. Was yours like that?

I used it before mixed with blueberry, that one was clear with a slight yellow tinge.

That’s weird. Not at all. Mine has no bubbles and is clear.

Something seems to have gone awry. It was my first mixing session with a new batch of base, but I don't think it was that because I made a couple of other mixes at the same time and they are clear as a bell. I took a look at the flavoring bottle. It's a clear plastic bottle and the lemon cake is clear with a slight yellow colour, so I don't think it was the flavoring. That seems to leave the bottle. I normally use brown dropper bottles but couldn't be bothered to raid the stash box so I just grabbed an old green one from the shelf. I'll make another batch tonight in a clear bottle and see what happens.

Will be interested in how that turns out. My mix is in a brown dropper bottle. Held up to bright window I can see it has no bubbles even when I shake it. Juice is clear in the dropper. My flavor bottle is mostly clear also and is pretty clear with the slight yellow tinge.

Bill's Magic Vapor answered the question, about why do people sometimes end up with a cloudy mix...in the monster length TFA thread and in his Blog. He said it's caused by mainly citrusy flavorings in a mix and their interraction with VG. Said if you add the VG as the last ingredient...you won't get a cloudy mix. That's always worked for me. I've never had a cloudy mix since reading that info and doing what he said.

I think I get it now.
Don't worry about the warranty card. LOL. It expired about 40 yrs ago. But, the model and serial numbers (off the bottom of the Cuisinart, or maybe the warranty card too) are important when you talk to them.
They may tell you they have no record of that model number, as they did for me.
Just tell them that it's old (and you love it) and they'll put you on hold and go look it up in the archives.

I just called Cuisinart. No luck: no parts for the model remaining in inventory. But the woman I spoke to asked if I'd checked on eBay, which reminded me that it had been a while since I'd looked there. When I did, I found what I needed. It cost me thirty bucks, but it's worth it.

I normally do too but it was the only place I could find the color I wanted for a decent price.

I premix my base. It's never been cloudy.

Check Walmart?

 

[chanelvaps]

same here. Tried it and found it a waste of time. I do invent too many recipes anyway. MOstly just copy others

supposed to say I do NOT invent recipes

I figured that one out.

Yes, the dark blue speck case I wanted was kind of hard to find and I didn't want to pay $45 for it from their site. I ended up picking a different color and ordered from amazon.

I had a great day. 4 am is sorta becoming more agreeable. I am having a good time at work. I have officially decided I like my supervisor, so that's good.... I got my WV DL today and like you would have to PRY me out of here with a crowbar. House prices keep going down, down down.... We are all set to get going but the husband is like, having meltdowns.

I registered to vote and I think we will get registered in like, WV, no problem.

I am making friends with my covering social worker she is kind of a lot like me, smart, funny cheery most of the time.

In any case all is well and etc. The new freezer is gonna be here in a week. I don't think I am going to move anything to the fridge, I mean.... it's a week.

OH.l I decided last week in a fit of economy I was going to try Sam's diet cola. It's not BAD. A little flavorless. I think it is missing a secret ingredient. I think I can cope with that, however at a third of the price. I mean, it's not FOUL like it could have been. I bet if I did strategic mixing of 1/3 diet Pepsi and 2/3 Sams SODA it might be just fine. But I was glad to like minimize my habit a bit financially. LOL.

OH goodness this SUPER DL RTA and its side by side mod (which is cool it's my first side by side mod) but HOLY CRUD the ATOMIZER. If I had the, ah, confidence I would do a video review but there would be too many curse words. Etc.

I am pretty happy today. I like it! I most definitely have PMS but I am learning to keep it in check.

I don't remember having PMS when I was younger but it would be hard to tell because I was mostly a bh ALL the time, you know? Probably I was worse, but not so much that it was like.... Wow.

That was gonna be my next suggestion.
