Random DIY mixing and More

We had a friend that did the same. He didn't burst his eardrums but he couldn't hear at all for a few hours.

Seeing as we're on the stupidity subject....I was working on a barn conversion many moons ago in North Devon UK and the owner was a young guy who'd inherited it from an elderly guy he used to labour for him. One day we had a small fire going and he threw an empty butane gas bottle on the fire then hid behind an out building...bang.

Thankfully nobody got hit by shrapnel....huge blast hole in the field and absolutely no trace of the bottle....complete nutter

Yeah, That's crazy.

Are there single flavorings that are any good? I know, I know...."depends on what you like". But I'm thinking just something simple, a good berry or a good mint or maybe a sour. IDK. And from whom?

With fruits I always like something creamy (and often also some bakery) so can't really help with single fruit flavors (except maybe Wayne's "water malone" from LB... liquid barn) I will recommend LB white chocolate peppermint... it's a great "one-shot"!

Hello in here! My news. I survived the second covid vaccine. I'm taking my partner in Wed to get his first vaccine.

Last night I was planning on doing a lot of mixing. It was cut short by the idiots on the block setting off firecrackers scaring my cats. I managed to mix 100mL of Flavorah RY4 and 200mL's of Flavarah mild tobacco. It smells divine. I'm mostly a tobacco vaper-er . I mixed both at 1% 50/50 for my mtl vape style. No perfume smell or taste. I'm vaping the ry4 already. I'm going to mix more because I want to taste this when it has steeped. So far I love the flavor but I do know it will be better steeped. Right now I taste caramel (lightly) and of course a ashy tobacco flavor. This is more tobacco forward than traditional RY4. I will be keeping this one in stock. I only purchased 10mL just in case it sucked. Tomorrow I will try the Flv mild tobacco. I still need to mix the Purilum Sweet Tobacco tonight.

Depends how much you like sweet. That White Chocolate Peppermint was sickly sweet to me.

We were camping with my son and his friends. In the morning, with the hot coals still going from the big fire the night before, I found an unopened soda can that had a small pinhole so for kicks I threw it in the hot coals. Nothing happened for quite awhile... then it exploded. Hot coals/ashes flew all over. Landed on tents, blankets and a poor guy on crutches was barefoot. Many ...... off people that morning.

I solved that problem with a natural gas grill (professionally) connected to my home gas system. It's great not to have to worry about propane, wood, charcoal or other stuff.

That's what we have. Had a "block party" yesterday but some people didn't show (we still had a great time) Cooked 24 hamburgers and 24 hot dogs... many left over so going to give them to the homeless tomorrow.

There’s a cut off time here that’s respected thank goodness.

We are in the city... only wimpy stuff allowed and a cut-off time BUT nobody cares. Loud huge bangs all night (I didn't sleep well at all) It's been going on for a week and will continue for days. When I was up in the mountains, absolutely NO fireworks allowed (and you don't need to call the sheriff... locals will shut you down instantly!) They did have a fireworks show over the lake but it's gets super crowded and not enough parking.

Worst part round here is people shoot guns in the air at midnight.

Same here... even when I was younger and stayed up late, I would not go out from under the patio roof.

Anyone here mixed up Salmiak Liquorice (Salty)-SC-WF yet? I bought the cotton candy Jelly bean to go with it. I'll use my google fu tonight when I get more time.

I mixed up that flavor as a one shot. I think I mixed at 5% and it was super strong. I plan on mixing it again at 3% and adding a cream or marshmallow vanilla with it.

Dumb thing to do .

When I was young my Dad would always buy some sprinklers and 2-3 packs of small scale firecrackers. And with those one got lit at a time. He'd say, make 'em last boys that's all your getting.

When I was young, my cousins had this really cool way to use firecrackers... empty tin can with a small hole in the bottom (to insert a single firecracker) Flip it upside down in a shallow pan with a bit of water in it (forms a seal) the can shoots up in the air and the game is like playing "chicken"... you can't look up and just have to stand there waiting to see where the can comes down. Fairly safe and lots of fun.

I did a sft on it but didn’t go any further with it yet. It was good.

Never got that cause I dislike black licorice.

Good Morning, hittman and Thank you. So many to choose from. This may sound dumb, but what do you then use to pour liquid into your tank?

I use 60ml tall ldpe bottles for putting liquid into tanks. Glass dropper bottles are fine but they don't work easily with every tank.

I like these better than the gorilla brand (I've never had good luck with that brand):

30/60ml LDPE Plastic Empty Bottle Squeeze Eye Dropper Long Bottles with Funnels | eBay

I used to buy them from liquid nicotine wholesalers whenever I bought supplies but they no longer sell retail, so last time I purchased, I purchased from this eBay seller and had very good luck.

This is a better plastic than PET, more durable and easier to squeeze. You will need to purchase a straw cleaning brush to clean out the bottle though if you don't have one.

I mixed almond cookie-sc-wf at 4%, steeped 5 weeks. For my taste it is too sweet, would a few drops of acai dull the sweetness or leave well enough alone? I have about 30 ml left.

Give it two drops at a time and see how you like it.

Tomorrow is DD’s birthday but she has to work so maybe I can get something mixed if I can finish a recipe or two. I have in mind ,blackberry, lemon, little cream and wafer.

OK, just added 2 drops, gave it a good shake and will try it tomorrow.
