I'm not doubting you, but what makes you think this the rebirth of RTD?

I don't really - as I mention "IIRC" (If I Remember Correctly) . . . AND - For some reason I thought I remembered that "RTDVapor" said in an email/post - or someone else posted - that RTDVapor was planning and/or actually changed their business name . . . HEY - I'm an OLD MAN . . . :img:

    How's that mattress been for you?

    It is awesome - I really had second thoughts about spending this kind of money on a bed but it is worth it. That 16" mattress holds me up just fine where the old ones I had buckled, but they were around 6". Well worth it and I'd buy it again. I'm still in the 180 night "try it" period but I don't think I'll be returning it ever. The 20 year warranty should out last me! :w00t:

    Just checked the OSDIY site. I was looking to restock one of their one-shots. Lucky Shot. Same as last time I looked, most of them are out of stock or have 1 or 2 in stock. The one I want is still OOS.

    You might want to PM me about Lucky Shot and/or the flavorings used to make it, before you try any sample batches. ;)

    I remember the pudding/pom recipe you posted. I recall the pudding % was a lot higher that I had seen in most other recipes. Something like 4 or 5%?

    Yes, it was at 4%. Someone on this thread recommend that percentage and it worked for me.

    It was an end of the year, clear the house of leftover stuff and I am told it was from Mitch McConnell. I tend to believe that more the NP. He is from NC and that is where all that tobacco "dark money" is
    McConnell is from Kentucky, not North Carolina. But Kentucky is also a big tobacco state.

    Good morning :)
    Not juice related, but DIY. I ordered some supplies and a starter kit, and very excited to be soon brewing my own Jun tea. It's nearly identical to Kombucha, but it's made with green tea and honey vs black tea and sugar. It's called the "Champagne" of Kombuchas. I've brewed kombucha in the past, so this really shouldn't be much different.

    Hello Anthony..

    There has been some discussion about HHV and whether they were using tobacco absolute in their NET's as opposed to a cold or heated macerated tobacco. I think you hit the nail on the head with your comment in regards to the hard part being getting the right "other" flavors though. Example: "Shadow" to this day remains one of the best vanilla flavors I have ever tasted.

    Oddly, just before you came and checked out this thread, I brought up how Pirate's Booty came across more tea like when fresh, then evolved into sort of a spicy cigar flavor over time. A couple of folks here were saying black tea FA reminded them of tobacco.

    Perhaps, and I only say this as it being a shot in the dark, finding out which flavors were available at the time HHV released their NET's may get you closer . There are a lot more flavors that have come on the market since.. I've often wondered if Shadow had a percentage of French vanilla deluxe TFA, vanilla bean ice cream TFA, and vanilla swirl TFA... I have found during my time mixing that those flavors have similar elements I tasted in Shadow.

    Needless to say, it's going to be virtually impossible to get something exact. I have tried many cloned recipes since I began doing DIY and they have all (with the exception of two) fallen short of being like the original.
    I'm vaping FA black tea right now. First thing I thought was this tastes like a tobacco. But not in a bad way. The hints of jasmine and honeysuckle I added are quite interesting. And it's very well steeped by now but the tobacco-y thing is still there. I don't care much for tobacco flavored vape but again this is not bad. I'll make another batch once I use it up and maybe add a touch of cream to it.

    I tried the bumble berry with fa milk and like the bumble berry. I’m thinking to mix it with pudding base tomorrow.
    Glad you like it. I’m going to mix the Razzleberry with something soon.

    Good morning random folks :) Have you any plans today?

    BTW on this first virus shot I had just a wee tad of a sore arm last night. But I slept on it all night and it’s fine. No other reactions yet. Fingers crossed for none.

    That’s good. My arm ached pretty much all day the day after.

    I feel much more rested today so I mow. I need to put down some weed and feed. But not today. Once hell month ends, and it will extend into next month, I can take some time off. I’ve got lots of things to do here.

    By the way, bcf has the pudding base in 4 ozs. I almost got it, but the reviews of butter held me back.

    I saw that but I don't buy anything bigger than 2OZ.
