Merry Monday, mixers.

Yep, you guessed it, rain :) Although the last few days it's been like Camelot, where it only rains after dark ;) Not so today.

I don't remember who told me to make 10ml single flavor testers.. but you Sir/Maam are a sadist. Almost half of these flavors by themselves are absolutely disgusting. Top3 worst so far are Honey, Bavarian cream, and Cheesecake. Not sure what I am suppose to learn by doing this but so far I have decided single flavors are an ABSOLUTE NO NO.

(Note: all flavorings were at .5ml per 10ml)

Well, some flavors really aren't made to fly solo, but are more along the lines of additives. I don't normally drink/eat honey straight, but in tea, it's fine. Likewise, I don't drink cream straight, despite my avi ;)

But if, say, you're trying to find that "perfect" strawberry (or chocolate, or...) , which likely needs that flavor from several vendors, how do you know which one to tweak for success unless you know how each tastes on its own?

So maybe a (very!) rough rule of thumb, if you wouldn't eat/drink a flavor solo, don't bother with an SFT? :)

Some have described TFA Honey as "cat pee". FWIW, FA Honey is the most accurate tasting, and smelling, honey around. No cat pee, just a great honey flavor.

I used TFA Honey with Earl Gray for a while years ago following a recipe I saw here somewhere. Quite liked it. But apparently the exhaled vapor has a rotten aroma, which you don't notice yourself while you vape it. My wife banned me from using it. She wasn't the only one who pointed that out to me.

    I guess there are some advantages to living alone.

    Good morning ladies and gentlemen,

    have not been my best days but that's how it is, we got to take a walk and on the way we killed two poisonous snakes.
    The kitchen project is progressing, better than the start, I have not told my wife but I am planning a new floor as well, and the four doors will also be painted.
    Yep, we have a kitchen that is not really super smart, later when we get older we will build a new kitchen, and the room of doors will have a wood stove, two chairs and a table where we will sit and enjoy the morning.

    I have received a vapemail that I do not bother to pick up today, it is a Cabeo with something extra.
    Pick it up tomorrow and take a day off from the kitchen so I can get coil & wicks in new atty's, with the Cabeo it will be 5

    Good morning, Tor :) I’m glad you saw those snakes first.

    Your wife should be happy with a new floor also. You do have a day off coming to you so I hope you can enjoy it.

    Two more mixes done and my divider is once again full. Before I started I did remove four mixes that will be my next. Now that I’m done I have only two recipes written. I’m toying with mixing those also and then working on recipes.

    They are not super toxic but can whack a dog or cat, or a person who is allergic to the poison.
    I always study before I kill them, we have another type in the valley where I live that looks very similar, not toxic and it has the other type of snake on the menu.

    Today's job is done, went fast, tomorrow is a chiropractor, and relaxation.

    Early afternoon blahs here. I really have to get back on a regular exercise routine. Seems like I do well for a month or two then gradually slip and then get back to it. Right now I need less slipping and more exercising. I'm going to try to make myself do it tonight.

    I did come up with a second recipe. Was hoping for at least 3-4 today but I have my doubts.

    I don't know how you come up with so many. Mine are far and few between. Do you find yourself using the same flavors a lot?

    With age, I feel that it is harder to motivate myself for regular exercise, and it is certainly even worse for you who are in full time employment.
    What triggers me is to have something that measures performance.
