Random DIY mixing and More

I’ve been stocking for years. Just a last minute flavor rush......LOL

some of us are obsessive compulsive spenders and accidentally stocked up over the years of spending.

I ordered the Voopoo V Thru and Geekvape Wenax K1 today following a revelation that pod mods have improved significantly since the harsh scratchy over heated list of pods released last year.

Grimm Greens gushing review of these pods had me insta-buying.

my hope is that they are as good as the disposable pods coming out of China such as the Iget.

Those disposable Igets from China blow every other pod out of the water for smoothness, nicotine hit and flavour. Now I’ve put in an order for 2000 puff Gunnpods in China which are the newest big thing that is saturating oceanic and Asian markets.

These disposable have seen my Vros, Osmall, Vladdin and smok novo 1 and 2 collect dust. I used to love my Novo 2.

I like the K1. I reviewed it and still use it some.

Good morning mixers. We have no idea how but our dog hurt her back right leg somehow. She's having a hard time putting weight on it. She has had leg problems on both sides in the back on and off over the years. We have had the vet look when she hurt her other leg the last time and he said it could be an ACL but wasn't sure. I've been walking her almost every day and she hadn't shown any signs of injury. Then she started acting weird a couple nights ago and I came home yesterday and my wife said she definitely hurt he leg and wasn't going to be able to go on my after work walk. I've been taking her out as soon as I get home from work and she's usually waiting by the door or the window when I get home.

I can't hear that song without thinking of the end of The 40 Year Old Virgin.

Nothing the Vet can do for her ?

That's too bad. I hope the dog gets healed up soon.

Here's a good morning song

Only 76 degrees today in LV, but by Saturday it's supposed to be 90+. Ugh.

Last time he said he could operate and see if something was wrong with her ACL. It was going to be 1500 just to see. She healed on her own. That was the left leg. This time the right one is bothering her.

That's too bad. I hope the dog gets healed up soon.

Thanks. I'm sure she will. We'll keep an eye on her and if need be she can go back to the vet for an exam. When she was a pup her back legs would sometimes go out of socket and we would have to massage them back into place. If I knew surgery would do any good then we would get it done but she always seems to get better on her own. If it goes too long then we'll definitely take her.

I have mixed a buttload of cheesecakes over the years. Since mango was a pretty much ignored flavor I have never mixed a mango cheesecake. I am so far really liking this. Not sure what Starfruit brings to the mix but it’s good. I think I’m going to do a Starfruit pudding or ice cream just to get more of a feeling for the flavor.
I expect to be posting this recipe later today.

Hi guys,

I need to bend the ears of some expert DIYers. I have a whole bunch of si for varietal cigar leafs and wrappers from Juice Cabin which I have not enjoyed very much. They taste like linear, non-complex slightly bitter tobaccos and I think having not smoked for a long time has seen my palate not be so inclined to enjoy these type of dyed-in-the-wool tobaccos.

Having gotten into DIY I figured this would be the best opportunity to bring to life these tobaccos with sweeteners, koolada, custards and vanilla, hereby collective referred to as (“enhancers”).

I mixed most of the enhancers at about 1% , using just one enhancer in each juice. I also mixed some at 2-3% just to see what would happen at the upper end of the range. I even mixed TFA cotton candy at a whopping 5%.

now here is where my journey with DIY has become perplexing and expectation gap has been wide.

I was expecting these tobaccos to sweeten up into delectable sweet concoctions that would be much more enjoyable to vape. I figured the tobacco would mute and soften a little and become less sharp and pronounced.

instead what I got was mildly sweeter off tasting tobacco. Even ethyl maltol at 5% just had a weird off sweet taste. Capella vanilla custard at 3% also didn’t diminish the sharpness and bitterness of the tobacco.

I was expecting sweet and super sweet from Capella and TFA to really give the juice a sweetness but they didn’t have that effect at all.

I am beginning to learn that you can’t transform a juice you don’t like into a juice you do like with the enhancers. What I don’t understand is why the juice didn’t taste significantly sweeter, particularly when I used super sweet at 2-3% and cotton candy at 5%.

How long did you let the steep for?
yes I don't normally steep things but you really should especially with creams/vanillas/custards

I don't vape tobacco so not sure how much help I can really be but I'd guess that they need to steep as well

set the juice aside for a week or a month

but typically no sorry there's no helping a bad juice....you could try adding more vg to the mix to help dilute it some
might help to try something citrus with it....citrus usually helps with hiding bitter taste in cooking so should do the same in vaping
try some lemon, orange, or lime with the tobacco and then add some cream to it as well

sweetener unfortunately isn't going to help with bitter so much, I usually just end up with something sickly mildly sweet that isn't really that enjoyable.

If you don't want to just dump the juice, you can try adding it in small amounts to another mix that you do like.

I would recommend staying on the lower side with the starfruit %. I found it to be kind of overwhelming when pushed past 3%. But that's just from my personal experiences with it.

I used 1% in this cheesecake. Would you think 1 or 2% would be good in a ice cream or pudding?
