Is this the recipe you're talking about? I'm guessing you used CAP Vanilla Cupcake and FA Fresh Cream, and the Forest Fruit is FA as well, but which VBIC? TFA?

The vbic is flavor west. And to be honest, I think it's a little bit weak but I use a percent anyway to add to the vanilla cupcake to round out the vanilla portion. It works. With the fresh cream I also add the tiny bit, 0.25%, of purilum condensed milk. To my tastebuds anyway, this works wonders for a silky undertone. I found out the hard way about using condensed milk lol. A little is a plenty, and a lot is downright gross. I dont know if it affects the overall taste but I do max VG. The only PG is in the nic and flavorings.

I’m still using SMT’s croissant base in a galaxies mtl rta. I have the bigger insert in and biggest holes open but it’s still a pretty tight draw. I might sell the other one I bought. Not sure why I bought two having never tried them.

Even though you never got that tobacco flavor you were looking for?

I have faith ............

Guess I know I don’t need one.

I lost a Sceptre this morning. Dead dead dead. Working fine last night and fully charged, Won't even turn on this morning. Dead

How old was it, and did you use it heavily?
Just trying to get a feel for how long mine will last.

But, it's already lasted far longer than the VooPoo Vinci Airs.

Yeah sort of looking for something simular to 555 Exotic from BWB.

I can't get through even one swallowed bite of brussel sprouts..

our only common food we share in being unable to eat outside of the brussel sprouts is sauerkraut... I don't see that as qualifying as food... can't get past the smell.. lol..

But I'm one of those people who taste things others can't, so food is likely different for me than many.

I do find in life it's awesome though because all I have to do is taste a dish once, and can recreate it to perfection in 3 attempts or less.

When I was young, well all my life really, I have loved cooking .. I mean like loved loved loved it. I don't know why, but it's just my joy - my happy place if you will. I go into the kitchen and all the cares of the world disappear...

People all my life tried pushing me into doing it professionally but I couldn't imagine having the one thing I loved be anything other than my happy place. So I never made a career of it.

At any rate my mom cooked growing up, stay at home mom, home cooked meals every day (going out to eat akin to sacrilege...lol) , all the foods she grew up with I ended up with daily.

But I wanted to branch out - try new dishes. Experience in food other people's and cultures .. So as a young adult, whenever I was able I went to a new high end restaurant and ordered things I may have heard of but never got to try...

Then I would go home and copycat it from taste memory - and it became a new dish in my home that my kids could grow up with and experience too.

Over time I have developed amazing diversity in my cooking, and a large repertoire of dishes I make.

One of the only complements my mother ever paid me was on my cooking. Was when I was coming in while she was at work to help care for her husband that had taken seriously ill and she couldn't afford a nurse.

So of course I helped her when she asked, and I would cook her meals for her to come home to after work, and made sure the home was very tidy and clean as well.

At any rate one night I made an Italian dish - totally awesome, one of my personal favorites, and she was eating it and was all wow this is amazing - where did you learn to cook like this!?!

I said: "I learned from you".. I had spent my time from the moment I was tall enough to stand on a chair helping my mother cook.. learning all the basics.. and took it from there. I never learned from anyone else other than my great-grandmother, who came to spend a year with us after she heard of my love of cooking - to teach me our heritage, our dishes, to pass them on to someone who would likewise pass these things on.

So at any rate... haha . I got wordy . sorry.

hope you, and everyone here had a great day!

That's a great story.
Out of curiosity, what is the heritage?

Your safe. Mine turned out not to be dead.

Sorry, can’t help with that one,

 

[newyork13]

Whew!
But, except for my Provari's, which seem to want to live forever, my Innokin's have not failed. So, should we call it user error or what?

So this is the recipe?

0.25% PUR Condensed Milk
2.5% FA Forest Fruit
1% FA Fresh Cream
1% FW Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
1% CAP Vanilla Cupcake

What would you like to call it? And how long should it steep?

So I helped my son this week-end. We wasted saturday stuck in slow traffic all day (my son was really frustrated because he drives a lot for his job and now he spent his day off driving) Sunday wasn't hard but got a late start, took too many breaks and ended up pruning a tree at 103 deg F
Today (monday) mother and I went to Walmart... yes, the fun never ends. Besides the normal circus/zoo the check out lines were really slow. I never had time to do any vape chores... oh well... tomorrow is another day.
It was hot but a breeze so not so bad. Hot all week predicted but mostly under 100 F (just pray that breeze continues)

 

[vaper1960]

Hope you feel better today. I was down about 1.5 days when I got the second one.

That was me the first shot... second wasn't as bad (and overall just the standard side effects) Pfizer.

I think I'll make it without sweetener next time. I can always add it

Always... You will get used to less sweet. It's kinda like salt... you get used to less and then get some fast food fries one day and choke on all the salt.

Yup ..I hate salt. Never have it on anything....really bad for you to have too much!! I've tried several new mixes I did and some just don't need any sweetener and some are a bit bland....might just be the recipe so I'm steeping more to see how it goes

Fungi is kind of the vastly underrated and misunderstood super hero of the earth.

So true!

I never add sweetener to my mixes, I've never even bought it. Sometimes I will add a little marshmallow or honeysuckle or sweet cream, but only drops.

I got marshmallow for s'mores but it was too sweet so now it is my sweetener for other mixes (and even then, don't have much need for it)
