IDK what you didn't let go of. Or me. Or Redbird. But I will bet big money on a Batman and Robin rerun on TV in the morning. Might have to tune in to see what episode.

And why the heck does ECF flag "sanitizer" as being misspelled?
Because you US guys put z's everywhere when they should be S's :D

Good morning mixologist's :wub:

Well I've tried to fix my take on @FranC 's strawberry swirl crumble and will try it later when I've vaped this tank down. If it's no good I'll dump it....this isn't the first time :D

@ShowMeTwice I'll let you know what I think when I've tried the caramel mix. I went with that version because I thought it was safer :cry: We'll see :)

Have a good day and @NolaMel I'm glad you're both ok but horrible thing to go through....:wub:

I'm very sure it's VG in hand sanitizers (and we have made our own during the "shortage") but I don't claim to be an expert on this. VG is an emollient to keep your skin from drying out from the alcohol.

I'm not trying to keep anything stirred up. Only wanted to let you know that I agree... some hand sanitizers do have Glycerin in them, ie. VG, as a moisturizer. I have multiple bottles of Equate brand Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer that contain it. I just checked the ingredients on their labels. However, the majority of hand sanitizers produced and used worldwide contain PG...thus the worldwide shortage of PG.

And the prices have gone up with both in a lot of places.

I’m doing fine. Always in the mix as they say. Carli is good. Yesterday we spent a good amount of time at the lake. Swimming and playing frisbee.

It’s so nice to hear from you. It’s been a while. I should say I haven’t been around here much lately. Been up at a lady friends place riding horses and having fun in nature.

Howz about you? Having great fun in the NZ I s’pose. Bet you’re looking forward to spring and summer.

Did you get a GSD pup yet? ;) You deserve a proper trained one.

    I'm still very hopeful you get a GSD pup someday. After covid so you two can properly bond. Delta is raging in the states too. Got my Pfizer vaccinations in April. I hope you folks in NZ get enough of all the vaccinations you need. You deserve happiness too. Best wishes to you, stay safe, talk soon.

    Why is that I wonder....not enough demand??
    Because of the diacetyl in the new FA flavors. Flavour Art North America (FANA) won't allow sales of their flavorings containing diacetyl in the states. Same reason we can't buy FA Custard Premium over here.

    But that's ok, we order them from Chef's or Nom Nomz.

    Good morning mixers. I’m impatiently awaiting the new non dna Thelema for review. I usually don’t get anxious about review samples but am looking forward to this one.

    I’m not out of Amarula but just the mix with the milk so need to mix some more.

    I’m glad I missed the drama. There’s plenty of that going around the forum lately.

    Good morning. :) Waking up and developing a plan for the day. Gonna test my Amarula Chocolate Cake. I wonder how Jacote Plum and Lulo would work, I may try that out later, just to see, for science.
    What is this Lulo a few have been talking about? What kind of flavor is it?

    What is this Lulo a few have been talking about? What kind of flavor is it?
    My notes from June:

    I've been dripping Lulo most of the day. I took an immediate liking to it. In fact I added a 30ml bottle to my BCF cart. It has a very pleasing tropical fruit taste to it. Having never eaten a Lulo I can't say if it's accurate or not.

    So what does it taste like? Let's start with what I am not getting based on Session Drummer's review. As an orange lover I don't taste any orange. SD mentioned celery, but in the context of it's watery juiciness. Lulo has that kind of juiciness. I taste no celery in Lulo.

    The juiciness it offers is useful. In fact this would work for adding a moist juiciness to mixes at low %'s very much in the way INW Cactus does. Lulo has what I would call a light, to perhaps, a near mid level of sweetness.

    On the inhale I taste something like what I might imagine a very very light tasting pineapple would be like but minus the incredible sweetness of a pineapple.

    There is an 'almost' kiwi like note but it has none of the tart like a kiwi has. I do get a very light lime note on the exhale. I taste an almost pear like note but it's more of the creamy part of a pear, not the main pear flavor itself. Lulo is not quite pear.

    My best guess of what a lulo tastes like is... combine the taste a very light 'light' pineapple (minus the heavy sweetness) with slight kiwi and lime like notes with the creamy part of a pear and that's FA Lulo, IMO. It has a nice mouth feel. There is nothing floral in Lulo. I did not taste any off putting notes.

    Having said all that, taste is very subjective, so, YMMV. I would absolutely recommend Lulo to anyone who enjoys tropical flavors.

    It's not a strong, or a bold, flavor (in the way a raspberry is). I can see lulo being used with many different fruits. IMO, lulo would work well in bakery, dessert, ice cream and perhaps with green tea.
