Random DIY mixing and More

[hittman]

Fran, we are having a similar day.

2nd washer delivered and set up. They started it, worked fine, they left and it tripped the breaker. I am doomed with washers in this new place. Guy just installed the outlet and obviously did a poor job. It trips every time I start the washer.

I wonder if the guy that installed the outlet checked to make sure the circuit breaker is sized correctly for the washer or is it a GFCI receptacle that is tripping? If it's not a GFCI and the breaker is tripping then there could be other things running on that circuit or the breaker itself might be weak and need replacing. I've seen that happen before.

My preference for good-tasting eliquid outweighs my preference for creating my own recipes.

That's what is great about DIY. Everyone does their own thing. Many folks are perfectly happy with finding excellent recipes on whatever website. There certainly are many really good recipes out in the wild. Win-Win-Win.

Did the electrician guy put in (or put the outlet on) a GFCI? If so, that might be the problem. Motors and GFCIs often don't do well together.

Yes, he tied it into one with a GFCI and it trips every time.

I'm sure that will change.

In Australia, a basement is a part of a house in America that contains ghosts, killers, concealed ancestors, diabolical dolls and chainsaws.

We know this is true because we watch Hollywood movies.

Most houses in Australia don’t have basements. We had sheds out the back.

Is there something nasty in them?

Yes, he tied it into one with a GFCI and it trips every time.

The problem is not with the machine.

And yet one of my friends who tried to return a defective 8 bay battery charger had it sent it back by one of the carriers because it is considered to be vape gear!

How dumb. Your friend should fight, saying it's to charge batteries for a collection of flashlights.

Does he also iron his, uh, shorts??

Way, way, way more important .................DOES HE STARCH HIS SHORTS .............AOOOOOOOOOOOH AGGHHHHHHH

On my next mixing session I'm thinking about a simple cherry vanilla ice cream.
Cherries-inw-3%
VBIC-tfa-4%
Any and all suggestions are welcome.

I have kinda weird taste which is why I prefer to write my own recipes. I have seen some recipes posted here that are good for me with some changes.

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

Nope

Sry. Why not? What if you don't want a 50ml bottle but a 30ml bottle?

Curious.

I'm confused at the way you posted that. But you know it doesn't take much to confuse. Especially the math stuff.

Ideally, a washer should have a dedicated 20amp circuit.
does a washer need its own circuit - Google Search

@FranC, @Sugar_and_Spice converted @classwife's recipe, which gave the volumes of each flavor to make a 50ml bottle, into percentages, so that you can make any amount you want.

Yeah, I figured something like that but it still confuses me.

 

[FranC]

Nope

I got it now. Takes me a minute or a few.

I may have my case from Harbor Freight tomorrow.

So sry Fran, let me see if this is better

1ml Cup of Joe in Classwife's recipe is equal to 2%
2ml Sweet Cream in Classwife's recipe is equal to 4%
1/2ml Vanilla Swirl in Classwife's recipe is equal to 1%

I only listed it this way in case someone wanted to mix a smaller or larger bottle than 50 ml.

I will try to be more precise in the future, sry for any confusion.




I just saw @Zazie's post. Thank you for 'splaining.....

There is. It's called gas chromatography. You just need a mass spectrometer.

Did you know there are over 350 chemicals / compounds in a strawberry?

There can be 300 to 500 compounds in one food.

I had 4 at work. They are pretty cool, but freaking time intensive to run. A chemical analysis would get us nowhere, as those would be based on the chemical % of the whole mix, not by each flavor.

I had something more simple in mind, like an electronic super taster machine lol. Just narrow it down to each flavor. Then, y’all could figure out the brands. I have great faith in y’alls superior to mine taste buds.

All this chatter of washing machines and ironing stuff got me thinking. I remember my mom using a wringer washing machine when I was a kid. My mom ironed nearly everything, yup she certainly did.
