Random DIY mixing and More

It appears that BCF does not have it.

Well it's probably not worth tracking down somewhere else. Who knows if you'll like it.

Here’s my blue one on it. I’m waiting for the Kreimhild tank to dry. I always clean new tanks.

Looks good enough for me. I don't care about matchy matchy.

Have just bookmarked the site but realised it's almost 4.30am, better get to bed LOL, now all I can think about is getting the rhubarb!
On dear I do get obsessed about things, lol. Night all.

If you worked it into other flavors that are not sweet it would probably be tolerable. May even take to some of those sweet killers you have used.

That would work nicely. And I agree with you, it is a delicate kind of sweet. I do recall that when used in small amounts (a couple drops in 30ml) it will add juiciness to a mix same as INW Cactus.

All the descriptions of fruit flavors in Mangosteen do not do it justice, it's hard to place. Delicate but you can tell it's there.

And reviewers are all over the place with their descriptions of mangosteen. Pretty sure "tropical" and "exotic" are about the only ones most agree on.

It has a rich mouthfeel, deep and creamy. I tend to use it around 3% but that is very forward.
I feel like you could mix almost any fruit with it and you would get that exotic smoothness coming through.

Yes, rich mouthfeel, deep and creamy. Don't think I ever went over 1.5% with it in a mix. Exotic, yes, a good flavor. Pretty sure I never featured it in a mix, kept it in the mid to background.

Hi Boudica! Sleep well, dream big.

BCF used to carry it. It's gone now.

Flavor Jungle has it. Mangosteen by FlavourArt


What Does Mangosteen Taste Like?

FWIW, their description: The fleshy inside of the mangosteen (which is the part you'll be eating) tastes like a sweet and tart blend of flavors like peach, strawberry and lychee. There's also a luscious vanilla essence, making the mangosteen especially divine. If this sounds incredible, it's because the fruit is truly remarkable, quite unlike anything else it might be compared to.

I wish we would get them around here. Would love to try a couple.

I first came across Mangosteen e-liquid as a commercial juice, SUA made one and there was at least one other. It was addictive and one of the flavors I wanted to make when I started mixing.
You've really got me craving something different. I'm going to make a Chocolate Mangosteen, I'm coming up with this recipe right now so don't pay much attention to it .

2.5% Mangosteen FA
2% Chocolate Chunks WF
1% Tahitian Vanilla Cream WF
0.5% Vanilla Swirl TFA

You can buy them online I think, was tempted at one point.
Some say they are like eating ice cream, as well as the flavor description.
They go bad so quickly that until recently you could not have a foreign market for them.

My hitt’s mix is ok. Tasty enough not to think about dumping. I remember that I did go a tad over with both flavors not on purpose.

The Amarula is not the talk of the town anymore. Does anyone have a good recipe you like using it?

The same could be said about the Nanaimo bars.

Checked my lists and no Soursop or Mangosteen.

I've searched for several days for the best price, quantities available (smaller than by the case of 1000's), and S/H on some specific 18mm caps for 10mL, 15mL, and some 50mL Boston round glass bottles I'd bought in quantity. (They're not 18-400 nor 18-410 neck size...that many vendors have). Didn't want an orifice reducer most 18mm ones had, and didn't want to pay ridiculous S/H for a smaller quantity. I finally remembered a supplier I'd bought bottles & caps from several years ago...and BINGO! I found the exact ones I need and poked a bunch in my Cart. I also added some 20-400 and 22-400 black caps with polycone liners, since they have them by the each, the dozen, a 1/2 gross, etc. at reasonable prices.

I was ready the Check out...when I spotted a category of items titled "FREE SHIPPING ITEMS". What???? I noticed 3 of the subcatories are Boston Round Bottles, Dropper Bottles, and Vials....all are glass and come with caps! They have various sizes, colors, and quantities for really good prices!

I needed some more 60mL Amber Glass with polycone lined caps, and the price was great, so I added them to my Cart. It dawned on me then that some of you might want to check out the stuff, too. Just an example of 1 of the Free Shipping deals are these:

12 Pcs, 15ml [1/2 oz] AMBER Boston Round Glass Bottle W/Caps

Here's more things w/Free Shipping:
FREE SHIPPING ITEM - Botston Round Bottle With Free Shipping - ANANDA CORPORATION

FREE SHIPPING ITEM - Dropper Bottles With Free Shipping - Page 1 - ANANDA CORPORATION

FREE SHIPPING ITEM - GLASS VIALS With Free Shipping - ANANDA CORPORATION

Here's the link to the page with the Polycone Lined Caps.

CAPS & CLOSURES - Cone Lined Caps - ANANDA CORPORATION

They don't ship free, but they offer a choice of which shipping method you want. Getting the 60mL bottles/caps, along with a good-sized quantity of the 18mm hard to find caps I wanted, plus some 20-400 and 22-400 polycone caps...still worked out to a good deal though.

Afternoon Mixers,

We canceled getting a puppy. My wife doesn't feel good and our Izzy still isn't doing well, so we canceled it and will look for an older dog that needs a home. Izzy was 7 months when we adopted her.

I’m sorry to hear little Izzy and your wife aren’t feeling good. Sorry also that you had to cancel the cute pups.

I'm working on a chocolate amarula cake. First 10ml try was, meh. Tried fixing it, didn't work out, dumped it. The second one is steeping (10ml).

Nanaimo, I last made a 30ml of it as a single at 2%. I had plans on splitting that up to try some things but I've vaped most of it already. I'm still surprised by how good it is on its own.

I think I’ll go with your idea for the Nanaimo bars at 2%, 30 ml also. Let me know of any success you have with the Amarula please.

Also what % of Amarula did you have in the failed mix?

Yesterday it got to 90 here, yuck. Cool front came in last night. This morning it was a perfect 55 for our walk. 72 now. Sun, Mon and Tues it's gonna get to the upper 80's and steamy - that should be the last of our warm weather. Looking forward to some 60's.
