Random DIY mixing and More

[JCinFLA]

Thank you @JCinFLA

You're welcome. I'm glad you found some bottles and caps you could use. I bought several sizes and types from them, too, on April 12th when they had a sale. I like that you can buy as few as 1, or a bag of 12 of most things...if someone wants smaller quantities than only the Bulk quantities many vendors have.

So, yer sayin', you would like a cappuccino cookie to add to your vapes?

Add these to your ongoing flavoritis cart at BCF:

CAP Sugar Cookie

SSA Shortbread Cookie

When you get them make this...

CAP Sugar Cookie 1.5%
SSA Shortbread Cookie 0.5%

Then add some of your cappuccino or tiramisu to taste. You will likely have to bump up the percents on the cookies to hold up to your bold coffee tastes. Try bumping them up by 0.5% and go from there. You'll find the right balance.

If you choose to accept this mission... you will be soundly rewarded... with...

...Butch's Cappuccino Goobermint Cookies

i like the sound of this. I'll accept the mission.

Torrone also has sweetness. It's the chewy nougat part in a candy.

Partial HIC note:
"One of FA's best flavors! This is chewy, sweet, white, Italian 'nougat' candy, not American candy-bar nougat. It's sweet but not cloying, the flavor of almonds, lemons, and a touch of honey. Torrone can be used as a tasty sweetener. Try it as sweetener for your tea vapes. Its almond-honey-citrus flavor complements fruits especially well."

As an Italian, I can say if Torrone isn't sweet, then it isn't Torrone.

I'm not Italian but I agree. With FA Torrone I always went with a light touch otherwise it could turn a mix real sweet in no time. It is a good flavor though.

FWIW, there are still a handful of old time Italian bakeries in my city. One is a few blocks from my home. I always love going to buy a fresh, still warm, loaf of bread (or rolls) early in the mornings. No 80 cent store bought loaf comes close.

You’re safe, everyone but me thinks it sweet. Not sure why it isn’t to me, but I’m not complaining

I am totally dropping % in my mixing (taste buds are working better now and my sense of smell even more) Also having to dilute everything I have already mixed. I need to mix some 6 mg unflavored base (finally used up most of my pre-made 6 mg juices... good, they are too sweet anyway)

Wish me luck... taking a drill to the Zlide airflow holes (it is basically unusable to me the way it is) Just drilling two of the four holes. I'm just praying the drill bit doesn't get stuck and/or break.

I believe it has to do with customs inspections. Idk, if you google DHL shipment on hold there's many different reasons.. so I contacted customer service. I don't like phone calls and waiting aeons, so by sheer luck I was able to find their customer service chat and not email. It wasn't easy finding it. Tracking said I would get my parcel on the 23rd.. which to take 5 days to travel 4.5 hours away is just absurd. CS agent just told me it is scheduled for delivery on Monday which is why it is on hold.. but that doesn't really explain why it's on hold. I can speculate and theorize, but at least I know it's coming.. I hope.

Is it just me, or does it seem there's an increased need to contact customer service these days? Probably covid to blame. It's a miracle if I order something and then it arrives in it's scheduled time without issue. Maybe for my current situation it's my "local" DHL which gets a 2.4/5 on Google lol. Something I do, but I haven't had to use (yet), is take screenshots of interactions with CS.. just in case.

Package on hold is nothing to worry about in my experience.... usually just due to volume. I've never had a customs clearance notice after a hold...if that helps!

 

[charlie1465]

This is of no help to you but last year and earlier this year, before the US vape blockade, my packages from Europe via DHL all arrived within 3 days. They delivered one on a Saturday too. And that was during covid. Same experience with my European FedEx packages.

Is the package you have coming via France from an actual vape store with anything "Vape" in it's name? If so that might be why the holdup. Also if they put "vape" on the customs declaration.

They usually just put 'metal parts' in Europe. My Edge came as metal parts from Greece. When it's flavours they just tend to put....well....flavours.

I won't be testing it out on stairs until next week sometime. I'd be thrilled if I can go up and down stairs without taking them one at a time.

Look on the bright side...you can still propose....

Seriously though I hope you're better sooner rather than later

Good morning ladies and gentlemen,

today I will continue with testing of the mixes, have some to go through. If I end up with a few I enjoy, I see the whole project as a win. But I have been hooked on mixing whatever the outcome.

The bee job continues later today, it will be like a boxing match, round one is over, 10-12 rounds left.
Personally, I do not like to kill bees, they are super important in biodiversity, but there was no way to lure them out so they could get a cube to live in.
I have had contact with the professionals.

It's obviously a special day, I was one of the lucky winners of one Innokin product. I'm speechless.

Hope everyone experiences a wonderful Saturday.

 

[Opinionated]

Good morning everyone! I'm excited on two fronts. 1 Is that I woke up to a contest win for a product I really really wanted, and two is my back doesn't hurt! yipeee! I'm not even sure it's my back .. must be someone else's! haha

I pushed it way too hard as far as doing stuff yesterday and was worried I was going to have a lot of pain this morning but nope!

so... I'm off for some coffee and all that good stuff! planning a more gentle day today...

I had the same problem with a vent which had the louvers which opened when the fan was on, and which should have shut when the fan was off. Unfortunately there were bits of stuff clogging the louvers, so they didn't close completely, so the birds got in.
Not sure if that's your issue. But, if it is, the simple solution is a cage like thing which fits over the vent opening. It doesn't interfere with the louvers, which will keep out the bugs, and keeps animals out.
I'll send you a pic if my words are unclear.

One of my louvers has never closed for some reason. It looks warped and has always been that way and I bought the house new. It’s been on my to do list to replace for years now. I was looking at the ones with a pest guard at Lowe’s the other day. There are lots of options.
