Happy Friday frenzied frothers ;)

Last day under 90 for a while, only supposed to hit 89 today! Looking at 3 consecutive days over 90, starting Sunday. The official stats say we've had that 3 times in the recorded data (some 75 plus years), once in a July, twice in Augusts. Never in June....not good.

And yes, I did roll out the AC yesterday.

All the flavors I’ve tried have been from good to ok except the perfumey Longan Fresh. Nothing outstanding as yet.
If longan is truly like, or similar to, lychee then the perfumy taste makes sense. From my old notes, lychee when used at higher %'s is perfumy. Used at pretty low %'s, and depending on other flavors its mixed with, it is sweet and the perfumy taste isn't detected. I always used it from 0.25%-0.5% in mixes. Haven't used it in some time.

    I didn't have a problem with sweetness, just the perfume. If it doesn't steep out I will remix at lower %.

    Moving on to the plum and ice cream mix.
    Plum and Ice Cream might seem an odd mix but whatever works is fair game with ecig flavors. I never had any lasting luck with plums but I think I'm going like this one. The mix is decent and not overly sweet.

    Work, errands, and taking my dog to the groomers. She will be ...... at me for the rest of the day.

    How about you?
    My wife was a groomer and owned a medium sized grooming business. Some days I would help out. I sold her business after she passed away. I kept most of her gear, along with a grooming table and two dryers. Cat and Dog get groomed by me ( :lol: ). Trimmed their nails this morning. Cat got a bath yesterday (she loves baths). :)

    Good afternoon folks,

    I have done what I was supposed to do at the window, it went much faster than I had thought.
    May buy some paint tomorrow so I can start painting on Sunday.

    Old picture from the fall, I have the little house at the bottom of the valley (my farm runs at the back of the house, left side of the terrain.):

    I'm hoping to try some more of the new FA flavors. I'd like to finish so they can go back to steep.
    I'd like you to finish too so that we can get a synopsis. You could go through/name each flavour and put good, bad or possibly useful??

    Hope you're having a good day Fran :wub:

    Moving on to the plum and ice cream mix.

    That reminded me, one of the first premixes I used when I started ordering juice on line in 2014 was plum. It was Kind Juice, geisha moon song. All their juices had goofy names. I just went to their site, it shows up there but you can't order it. I remember getting an email from them saying they were submitting PMTAs for some of their flavors but they couldn't do all of them. That one didn't get on the list so I guess it's gone forever.

    Haven't tried mixing with plum. Looking forward to hearing your results and the recipe.

    It will be awhile, Charlie. I have to give these a better chance so they are going back for some steeping. Will give them a week or two. Leaning toward the two.

    While I've been trying these new flavors I've also been trying a new mix I'm finding tasty. @Zazie

    Passion Pudding
    FLV Pudding 1%
    VT Pudding Base 2%
    VT Passion Fruit and Mango 1%
    WF Island Mango 2%
    That does look good and tasty. :thumbs:

    Also ,rating the flavors wouldn't be that helpful but I'll try. We all have different tastebuds.

    I've been vaping it since yesterday and really like it. The pairing of passion fruit with Mango is good. Does not hurt to add a little WF Starfruit either.

    I have only the Cheesecake Olympus left. This one will take a while. It is said to need little steeping. I am going to try it solo before I add anything.

    I haven't mixed the custard or banana yet.
    The Cheesecake is rather bland. Absolutely no cheese or graham. My first mission will be to add graham and cheese.
