Random DIY mixing and More

[hittman]

sheesh, it is almost a job where you get paid in vape gear. Your reviews are excellent, I can see why they like you to do them

That’s basically what it is. I do it because I like to test new devices and it’s my little way of helping the vape community. If I don’t like something then I’ll let you know. It’s just times like this where I’ve got so many to do around the same time that I get a little anxiety thinking about how much I have to do.

It’s a lot of work honestly

That is an understatement! I don't know how you do it.

Basically, you just eat the peel. Not much fruit inside and full of seeds. The peel is sweet and yummy.

I’ll have to look for them next time we shop.

As for the Raspberry Syrup. I think it benefits from a bit of steeping. It has no syrup to me, just a good raspberry that is not sweet.

Those I've always wondered about.
What do you do with kumquats? Just pop raw ones into your mouth? Peel them? Do they have seeds or pits? Sweet or sour?

Not a big kumquat fan honestly... The whole thing is edible and best eaten whole. CItrusy. The skin is thin and sweet the flesh/juice very tart/sour, the seeds bitter. People do make jam/marmalade. My sister told me to cut off one end and squeeze out the juice and insides then eat it. We have a large farmer's market here and when ever I visited it I would grab an unknown, to me, fruit and or veggie to see what they were and tasted like. Some I liked some not so much lol!

 

[vaper1960]

Probably why I liked it as I don't like rich, eggy, heavy flavors as a general rule. Good to know you were able to enhance it to your liking.

That's why I gave up on some custards. Bavarian cream is similar but much lighter. I also use flapper pie for sweeter recipes (basically a really light custard with meringue)

I would be surprised if you find them. I have never seen them in a grocery store. I had a tree in Florida, lots of them grown there.

Between working full time and having to mow every few days due to getting so much rain it’s a stretch. I’m going to attempt to get one more posted this week and one over the weekend. After that I’ll still have six to do. My favorite mods are going to be lonely for a while.

Doesn’t hurt to look. I doubt if I’ll find but that’s ok.

All pods?

Oh yea... 5 days tobacco free

Ok then. Next time I'm at Whole Foods I'll look for kumquats and squeeze out the innards and eat the peel.
Although doesn't that sound absolutely backwards?
Scratching my head to think of another fruit or veggie where you toss the innards and eat the peel.

lol, yes and my family just couldn't wrap their heads around eating the peel and tossing the middle so they were not fans.

I just bite the peel and go in a circle like peeling an apple only it is with my teeth.

Haven't tried those but have tried Loquats and love them (looked them both up and not sure if they are even related)

Good for you.
I meant to reply to a recent post of yours where you mentioned the nic levels you were at.
Don't recall what they were, but it struck me that they were fairly low, and for when I was able to replace cigs with vapes, I needed 12-18mg, and that worked like a charm within a couple of days. Never looked back.

That's funny, because I just looked them up on the internet, and they're about the size of an olive. That's a time consuming fruit!

I have a citi card and I haven’t been hacked since I started using the virtual card number generator. It’s a temporary number that ties back to my original card. I was getting hacked a lot with vape purchases. I started using the virtual card number well over a year ago and no hacks. Not every card has that option but it may be worth it to check if yours does. It takes me extra time to login and generate a number but I’m talking 3 minutes max. I generate a new number each time although you can use the number for the same vendor until it expires. I just go in and stop the number and generate a new one each time.

Bank of America used to have that. Then last year they suddenly stopped offering it. Ticked me off.

Hey thanks! I had never heard of DIY Vapor Supply before. I will take a look.

I've never heard of them either, but they have a nice selection.
Has anybody used them before?

Mine would often get the size of a very small orange but usually they are the size of a large grape or pear tomato.

I have but it has been awhile.

I did not know they are selling NicVape flavorings. Those are really good.
