I hope you feel better soon @Koolkiz . I gotta say, when I got COVID I felt sick in this very weird way like it was unfamiliar like my body was like, "WTH is this?" My one comfort is knowing I am immune for a while, AND I can wait a year for the vaccine without freaking out. I mean, "Causes lithium to stop working ever again" seems to be an implausible side effect but meh. I don't need to chance it. Especially after those ten weeks of horror on the couch.

It truly sucked, I hope you can get tested soon but after a couple really early tests I just didn't give a flying (you know) any more all my docs were like "Too late to test but you have COVID"" and they were right.

Just don't wait to go to the ER too long. I waited too long. I have decided "I feel like I am dying" even if I think I'm not and most evidence points to the contrary. If I feel like it, why not go. There is a chance they can alleviate my misery.

Hey folks... I get it... won't go there again but it would be nice if I could still feel welcome on this thread. I have ZERO input on flavors.

The following is just my :2c:, and it may or may not be shared by others on here.

I don't think you're a bad guy, nor someone who tries to "stir the pot" like a forum troll would. To me, it just seems like at times "you find yourself in a pile of ____"...when trying too hard to fit in and contribute. It's up to you if/when you'll feel welcome on this thread or not. Your posts and interractions with others will determine that.

Most of us on here aren't DIY "experts", and no one expects others to be either...in order for our/their posts to be interesting and/or possibly helpful. But, having firsthand experience with something, sure makes what is said more helpful and reliable, especially when offering suggestions or recommendations, if/when they're asked for. Otherwise, people see them as unsolicited and unreliable. IMO, that holds true on ECF whether a thread is about flavorings, recipes, mods, tanks, types of wire, etc.

As far as this - "I have ZERO input on flavors" - That's not true! You have flavorings that you've personally used. You know firsthand about how strong or weak they seemed to you, what they added to the taste of a recipe you used them in, what % you used them at, etc. Posting your opinions or thoughts about those flavorings might be helpful to others who ask about them.

Anyway, I hope you don't take the above wrong, as it was meant to hopefully be of some help. :)

So after my nap I managed to do my mixing. That gives me another 800 ml. I made:

Candy Cane Cheesecake (candy cane is new to me)

5 Pawns Queenside (blood orange is new to me)

Blueberry Cream (blueberry and blueberry-acai-pomegranate new to me)

Vanilla Bourbon Eggnog (I think vanilla bourbon is new to me, @NolaMel ’s recipe she mentioned)

Sesame Candy (peanut brittle, pistachio, sesame candy, peanut butter new to me)

Rhodonite (almond, Fuji apple, torrone new to me)

ChocoMilk (dairy milk and glamour chocolate new to me)

Unicorn Drink (blood orange, grenadine, dairy milk new to me)

Fun! But I’m whooped...

    Where did you get the unicorn drink recipe? Sounds interesting but I don’t have grenadine.

    The Grus has great handfeel, and I love heavy mods. I know there were quite a few complaints about it not being a DNA-C but it does have that really, really nic fee smooth vape quality that my Mirage had, and it appears to not be made of gossamer.

    Thankfully, I lost my bank card. Meaning Christmas can be had for all, even my older brother. I might have to let the husband order the Amazon gift card though, because the, "I have spent a lot of time wondering how my life would have been better if you had never been born," well, it lacks the Christmas spirit somehow.

    If he had not been born on September 11th, well, I could have saved it for his ACTUAL birthday, but that is a little too close to the bone.

    It's actually my SIL that I want to irk, really. I'd love to get another "furious SIL missive." LOL she writes the best furious sister in law emails. My mom would kill me though. She ALSO was born on September 11th. I could send my mom that card, but she could rightfully reply "Unless you were in some weird temporal void this card wouldn't exist" but I actually have like spent a great deal of energy getting to the point of like, not hurting my poor mommy's feelings on purpose.

    Plus, I'm not going to say she was a GREAT parent, but she was far better than many. Also, to be frank, she was like super good training for a life of Bipolar I-iality plus ADHD. She was rather unpredictable as a parent, and I got good at coping with like, change. Or at least, not being willing to DIE over it.


    I don't love rainbow tanks either. I am strictly becoming even more of a SS tan person than I ever have been. Paint is not good in tanks or on tanks or whtaever.

    I love my new Gus, which is the silver/carbon fiber one. IDK you can't beat sliver even on a mod.

    ELR. I just searched for recipes of my Christmasy flavors, sorted by high rating, picked one, and used what I have sometimes subbing if I need to. I change the name too sometimes. I like short names. I will also round %s. I like simple and my taste buds won’t know the difference. This one had the grenadine I searched for and it sounded interesting. Sounds sorta Christmasy.

    Unicorn Drink

    2.00% Blood Orange (Real Flavors)
    1.00% Coconut (TPA)
    2.00% DX Jamaican Rum (TPA)
    2.00% EGG Nog (TPA)
    2.00% Forest Fruit (Forest Mix) (FA)
    2.00% Grenadine Super Concentrated (WF)
    2.00% Milk Condensed (FA)
    0.50% Super Sweet (CAP)

    Flavor total: 13.5%

    Turns out that I’m missing the rum also and I can’t do coconut so I guess I’ll forget about that one.

    Morning all, and best wishes for a happy Saturn day ;)

    Rain said to be coming back, so temps (barely) above freezing.

    But starting to get a decent snow pack, even several of the ski areas are now open. Reservation only, and the apres-ski cantinas are take-out only. I suspect that will make for a few cases of hypothermia...

    A Christmas Story... uh, careful, you'll shoot your eye out! :lol:

    Very good advice (I don't take things too personal or serious) I've been here before and just will avoid suggesting anything (no offense anyone, but you are on your own... no help from this end) The truth is... my list was mostly for me (but wanted to share it with others) Don't care anymore... it's my personal reference... so be it. carry on ;)
