I use this product but I have it in a cream version.
Yes... that's the stuff (in the mountains, I was told that is the official insect repellent of PG&E... the power company) so I tried it and love it (it does smell strong but that's why it works) It's gone up in price but just recently found the same product on amazon (cutter brand and on sale for $5) It is the oil from the leaves of the lemon eucalyptus tree leaves.

I didn't get my RTA built but not because I'm lazy. Mixed some juice just for that and it needs to steep so maybe next week-end. No use building it if I don't have juice to use in it. I also need a new "drop-in" coil in my Vaporesso NRG tank but same thing... waiting for the juice to steep. Tobacco mix also steeping but I still have some of that to get me by (that is my everyday morning juice)

You guys are bad enablers! I don't have yoghurt drink.. it's now on my wish list, waiting for a sale :facepalm:

Busy day of cleaning and laundry. I did a little mixing but wasn't doing well for accuracy so I stopped after just 2 (Anna's Mango/Apricot/Peach and Banana Moon Pie). A little extra mango and a little extra banana puree should be fine in the mixes, right? I was thinking of doing a cookie, cereal, or wafer based mix (looking for a crunchy taste to add to rotation to be different) but hadn't picked one. Instead, I decided to quit while I was ahead. :lol:

    Not sure what flavors are in that but I've been looking for a use for Sesame candy (I thing it's WF) I really like it but not by itself. It resembles roasted nuts so played with PBJ sandwich ideas (sesame, croissant and different fruits... orange marmalade worked well) Even acai was good. I have cookie but the only WC I have has peppermint. Still interested in any ideas you might have.

    I’m not great with picking out flavors but I’d start with FA vanilla cookie and either sesame candy or sesame dough then maybe like 1% white chocolate. The chocolate is a background note. I’m thinking the dough might be the better way to go on this one.

    Lazy evening here. I still need to walk the dog and get the trash out for pick up tomorrow. I copied some blueberry cookie recipes off of ATF that I want to try since mine never worked out. That and I’m a glutton for punishment. I just can’t seem to give up on the idea of a blueberry cookie.

    I'm not worried, but doubling the banana puree was a bit more than the usual and it was the last ingredient in the mix. oops. fortunately, I'm ok with banana so it should be fine. Ditto for one of the mangos in the other mix. I sometimes go over too, but when I'm consistently messing up, it's better to put things away and mix another day. Plus, I might get other ideas in the interim. :thumb: I have plenty in stock that's ready to vape and others steeping.

    I’ve never doubled an amount thank goodness.

    And what I found pleasing about growing potatoes was gently digging them up. Most veggies grow above ground, so you know what you're getting, assuming predators don't get to them first.
    But, potatoes are a surprise, being beneath the soil, so the crop is a surprise, one way or the other. And yours was a nice one.

    LOL I didn't think you would.

    But seriously, you may be able to use another mango for the Black Currant recipe but for me without the sweet mango it is just too sharp for my tastes. And since I don't use any type of sweetners(prefer to use flavoring for that little bit of sweet i do want) this was just a good choice. Like I said it just cuts the sharpness does not add any sweet at all.

    :)
    I get the feeling I'm in the minority, but I really don't like sharpness, or bitterness, or sourness in my liquids.

    Used to love Tribeca....I've still got some concentrates somewhere....and some other halo stuff. I don't vape them anymore....just custards :D
    Me too. It was the juice which enabled me to leave the world of combustible tobacco.
    I still enjoy a Tribeca-like juice, but not exclusively.

    Every now and then I have a desire to try some tobacco flavors. But I know nothing about them. I read up on a few of the popular ones and many of the reviews mention a nutty flavor, which I am not a fan of. I don't remember cigars or cigarettes tasting nutty.
    Tribeca, and Soho, are not naturally extracted tobaccos, but artificial in one way or another. They are certainly nutty, to me at least. But they're totally different from NETs which I also very much enjoy.
    If you want a real tobacco, there are several alternatives in the NET world.
    Keep in mind that since the tobacco isn't burned, it's both diff from a cig and purer IMHO.
