    We have started in the right direction :D
    As hard as I tried I can’t make myself buy a squonker. Guess I should listen to my feelings and stick with dripping. I have tried squonking in the past and didn’t care for it. Piffed it.

    I would leave the graham cracker and sugar cookie as is.

    Drop the blueberry to 0.75% - 1%. That would bring your other flavors out while taming the BB.

    Add a cream and another berry to round it out.

    Give it a solid 3-4 week steep and you'll be set. :)

    ETA: Just a tip, FWIW, only change one thing in a mix at a time. Changing the values of three flavors can cause other unforeseen issues. Been there done that.

    So, thinking about this again, and if you don't mind, I was wondering if you could recommend a berry and cream.
    hittman mentioned Blueberry Jam, would that work with the Blueberry (Wild) or perhaps another berry?
    Open to any cream (or two) ideas.

    I'm thinking about going for another liter of base and might add a few more flavors to go with it - not a major spree though.

    Another liter of base would be a great idea. I would highly recommend getting Capellas Shortbread ,it’s such a good flavor. I think my two favorite creams are FA Fresh Cream and FA Irish Cream but there’s a lot of good ones .

    The Blueberry Jam would work with another blueberry or almost any other berry.

    Thank you, Fran!

    I'm back and forth thinking about getting another liter, I can make the two that I have last 12-15 years - just not sure if the nic (or me!) will last that long, even with proper care.
    Plus I have enough purchased juice to last about a year or so as well.

    I guess it wouldn't hurt to be prepared if all does hold up well enough - though my stocking up on other things is straining me pretty hard, and I still have a bit I'd like to grab yet.

    Still have to think on it a bit I guess.

    Just thinking of making sure. I’d rather have too much than not enough.

    Thank you very much Nol,
    Their father is of the same race, very similar in size to her, and also in color.
    After Øsa finished the exhibitions, the Germans changed the standard, she got an excellent type of the latter, if it had been today she would have been disqualified due to the white stripe she has in her chest.
    We were hoping for some luck, but she transferred her genes to the puppies since 4 came with a white spot :D
    When I was a kid the family had a blue German Shepherd, same issue, was registered with the AKC but couldn’t compete because a blue coat is considered a major fault. I loved that dog, best dog ever, still miss her. We weren’t going to show her anyway, so no major loss to us.

    But you have a real cutie, what an adorable mom and puppies. Hope you are planning to vape some cigar flavored juice tonight. Congratulations.

    Also, does anybody else get goofy happy from seeing wicking bubbles come out?

    Though it does seem like they really are only coming from one port, I might have overstuffed the other.

    Still working okay though!
    No bubbles here….LOL:lol:

    I'm not as much a fan of berries as others here are, I rarely use them these days.

    I would defer to @FranC, @hittman, @NolaMel, @charlie1465 and some others (that ATM I'm forgetting, sorry). They use berries regularly, have, and know all the decent ones.

    Blueberry is a flavor I got burnt out on a long time ago. As a result I can't vape it anymore. I've tried, but it's a no go for me.

    As far as creams go I have many. One of my favorites is FLV Cream. FA Fresh Cream is another one. Those two would take you far. Wait... one more, WF Vanilla Cream Extra. Those three will take you even further. :D

    I have never been able to taste blueberry.

    Yep. Sometimes I will sit and watch them. It doesn't take much to amuse me. :lol: :lol:

    That's normal. When a wick is new you will see air bubbles coming out of both ports for a short time. Once the wick is broken in bubbles usually always come out of one port only.

    I'm a certified bubble nut. :D

    Check out the nic Vapolcalypse Calculator. It will tell you how much nic you may need going forward. Vaping Community e-liquid Calculator - Vapocalypse Calculator

    If you plan on vaping well into your future, buying as much nic as you can afford now is in your best interests. The window on buying nic in the USA is closing.

    Unlike nicotine, buying vape gear should be fine for the foreseeable future. Especially if you buy from Sourcemore, FastTech and HealthCabin (all based in China).

    One of my favorites is Inw raspberry. I’ve been using it a lot lately. There are too many good berry flavors to list. I was trying to make a blueberry cookie recipe last year and people on FB kept telling me that FW blueberry was the one to use with bilberry. I went as high as 6% on the blueberry and never really got it where I wanted. After several mixes I just gave up. Maybe I’ll revisit it some day.

    We had black German shepard when I was 20, loved that dog. He was a beast against other dogs, and a licking machine against humans.

    it has been a special journey with Øsa, everything she has achieved in competitions makes me very proud, and of course the fact that she has become a mother is the highest for me.
    I go to as few shows as I can, at least, for her it was the two I needed to achieve the hunting championship for her. I always let them have an extra pound around their stomach when there is an exhibition competition, they do it much better when they use their muscles actively in the competition compared to those who are thin and highly trained for hunting.

    With the new rules that I think are completely idiotic, we will go back to how it was in the 50s, those who had skilled dogs steered away from the competition of beauty.
    Her breeder said something funny tonight, I have not judged a dog hunting for the last two years that did not have white on the chest lol

    Oh yes, the best vape for tonight, Black Note Burley.
