I always mix with my nicotine. I keep a base ready for mixing that is pg, vg, and nic. I have a lot of mixed base for my ice cream so it’s always steeped. Since you are starting from scratch, I would mix the ice cream base, let it steep two weeks. Then add your fruits and steep another week,
Thank you that is what I needed to know.

I'd send you free samples too... the name Hittman sends a certain kind of message. I should have made my forum name "Ice-pick" or "Tommy the Knife"...

Hey how about changing it to . . . "Turtle Boy" . . . that would send the right message . . .
(BTW: All you have to do is ask "classy' to make the switch) . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

We are doing the same thing soon. But first I want to clean out the fridge. Started laundry. My cat does not know the difference between work days and weekends much less holidays. So she got me up around 5 am. I haven’t slept late in over six years. :yawn: And she is so annoying so early in the morning!

You just didn't train the fur ball right. ;) Red, my avi cat (gone many years now) always got me up before the alarm, but did honor weekends ;) But it did take him a long time to realize that when I retired they all became weekends! :w00t:

I am new to DIY and I want to make the Ice Cream Base you all have been talking about, when do you add the nicotine and do you let it steep before trying different fruits with it. Thanks

Many of us think that the nic does alter the final flavor, so mix with it. A real bummer to finally get a "perfect" mix done, then add nic and have it go south.

In general, most fruit forward mixes can be snv (shake 'n vape) although if adding to a "base" like the IC base, steeping will probably improve it. Tobaccos, creams, all need a steep.

Welcome, and join the fun :)

    I did a quick remix of the Amarula and mixed the butterfly effect recipe posted earlier. I didn’t have the ssa whipped cream but subbed FA instead. I’m sure it’ll be fine.

    I went ahead and filled the empty Caliburn pod with the lime drink mixed with sweet and tart instead of super sweet and like it much better. I could even see adding a little tfa sour to it.

    @classwife and @NolaMel - Since you 2 have never gotten freebies, I'd gladly send you each some 10mL samples of some flavorings I got in quantity that maybe you haven't tried. I had a huge order refunded (against my wishes), that I'd placed from River Supply during their Clearance Sale. I'd called just to let them know I'd gotten quite a few "leakers" in my order, and that they might want to let their shipping people know, so they'd doublecheck caps maybe...before shipping. Told her when she offered me a full refund or order replacement...that I didn't want nor expect either at all. I'd just wanted to give them a "heads up". But she refunded me anyway, after we finished talking. So I ended up with a huge amount of "freebies".

    I have plenty of new, empty, small bottles to use....so PM me if you'll let me do it, and you can choose which ones I can send to you. I've sent a bunch to DIY newbies I've been helping, and I still have a lot left. Plus, "freebies" are fun to give, as well as to receive. :)
    You’re too sweet, JC. I’m sure there are other people who actually need a fun new flavor. I suspect BCF checks my order history and said, Why is she ordering MORE flavors, you KNOW she hasn't had time to try everything from the last order :lol:.

    To those looking for a 21700 mod, Innokin has one coming. Demi posted teaser pictures on the Platform FB page ( @hittman probably beat me to the punch, so pass by if it’s old news)

    First time seen here. Nice looking but it does look a little big?

    It’s close to the size of the kroma r, based on the other pictures. I cropped that picture so it would load, so it’s a super duper closeup

    You’re very welcome. If you have other questions, please ask. Most of the folks here have been mixing a long time.
    I don't have French Vanilla Ice Cream - Hangsen but I have French Vanilla Ice Cream - VT can I sub that and will the % be the same.

    Good morning all :wub:

    I've been very slack and that was some catch up.....I've got to go through all my faves on ATF and decide which ones to mix next but probably won't get to that today....been at beach for most of it....nice floating in the salty Mediterranean....really warm this time of year too :)

    @Skeebo @Redbird11 I think you ought to change the wording.....

    "Skeebo loves you....all turtles welcome" :D

    Have a good day all....I'll catch up tomorrow....sofa is calling.
