It sounds more like you are referring to rl flavors.Out of curiousity why did you choose bavarian cream and fresh cream? Was it for mouth feel or flavor? Just curious because at least culinary wise I wouldnt think to mix blackberries with dairy as the blackberries are astringent with a sharp taste that would make the sourness of the dairy more pronounced.
I have a mix with the Simply Cake and so far it’s a bit on the too sweet side. There is nothing else in the mix that would make it too sweet for me. Maybe the % ? I used 3%.PUR Simply Cake is a nice neutral cake flavor. A while back I tested it with a creamy vanilla mix. I didn't find it to be any sweeter than any other cake flavor. I like it.![]()
I do love my Fresh cream. I use it quite a bit.Creams offer some sweetness (depending) and help to smooth out many mixes. They also add mouthfeel and flavor. Likewise, marshmallow will add sweetness and mouthfeel to mixes.
I don't find the creams or Bavarian creams we use in DIY to be sour. IRL creams can be made to be sour or sweet; same is true in DIY.
FA Fresh Cream is usually paired with another cream because on its own it doesn't have much in the way of flavor. But it does add creaminess and mouthfeel. It is one of the best neutral creams for DIY. IMHO, every DIY'er should have FA Fresh Cream as it is very useful.
Not all blackberry, or berry, flavors are "astringent with a sharp taste". Best example being FLV Blackberry; a very smooth and lightly sweetened berry with no astringency or sharp taste whatsoever. There are other berries with a similar profile.
To an extent I am... When I think of recipes to make I am trying to mirror or create a flavor that is IRL. Every flavor has "properties" shall we say that make that flavor. While it obviously isnt 100% with synthetics I would still think the same "rules" apply. You wouldn't mix Hotdog with Sour Gummi because common sense(ok I am sure some masochist out there might try it) tells us the sour/sweet profile will not turn out will mixed with a savory flavor we would consider to be a hotdog. A less extreme example is I wouldn't mix apples and citrus, because I am familiar with how the tastebuds on the tongue work and know that generally speaking those flavors would compete too much. I am sure you could make some sort of apple citrus flavor work(lemon maybe?) I would venture it wouldn't be more then acceptable.It sounds more like you are referring to rl flavors.
I think comparing rl flavors with vape flavors is not 100% by any means. I have yet to taste a sour cream in a vape flavor for example.To an extent I am...

Either way my question was simply if the flavors were added for flavor or mouthfeel. It seems like it may have been more for mouthfeel but the OP also says they prefer the flavor.
The toilet seat predates the invention of those caps, unfortunately. There is nothing to pry.Many have a "cap" over the top, snaps down, may be hinged. Since any new one will come with new bolts, feel free to destroy that![]()
I hope your sister feels better soon.The toilet seat predates the invention of those caps, unfortunately. There is nothing to pry.
The bolts are metal; the nuts are nylon. I think. I'm going to have to lie down on the floor in order to see for sure. And I doubt if I'll be able to maneuver my tablet into a position where it will take a useful photo. Not enough room.Cutting the bolts should be quick and easy if they are plastic. There should be access to cutting the bolts from the top. Are you able post a photo?
If you have a "mechanic" friend they may have one of these:The toilet seat predates the invention of those caps, unfortunately. There is nothing to pry.
I used simply cake at 2%. Thinking this just goes to show trying to gauge sweetness among DIY'ers is not an exact thing. Other than those flavors that are known, and widely accepted, to be grossly sweet.I have a mix with the Simply Cake and so far it’s a bit on the too sweet side. There is nothing else in the mix that would make it too sweet for me. Maybe the % ? I used 3%.
As for cake my fav. Is FW White Cake with FW Creamy Spongecake. They are not sweet to me. I just got a small bottle of the PUR cake to try.
I have the Simply Cake mix in my Fat rabbit solo. It is borderline too sweet. I pick it up less often but think I can vape all or most of it. Willing to try one more mix with it but with 2% next time.I used simply cake at 2%. Thinking this just goes to show trying to gauge sweetness among DIY'ers is not an exact thing.

Can I use 18650 batteries in it?
While that is an admirable thought... trying to mirror real life flavors in DIY will never be a 1:1. There are too many variables.When I think of recipes to make I am trying to mirror or create a flavor that is IRL.
Not true. In saying "I wouldn't mix apples and citrus" you would truly be missing out on flavors widely known to work together both in real life... and in DIY.I wouldn't mix apples and citrus, because I am familiar with how the tastebuds on the tongue work and know that generally speaking those flavors would compete too much.
101% truth!!!I think comparing rl flavors with vape flavors is not 100% by any means.
One of these days I'm going to try my Kumo as a dripper.Still using the Kumo as a dripper.
I would be interested to see a recipe that mixes apples with lemon or orange, without the orange or lemon being in very small amounts. Generally in culinary you might use orange or lemon as a very light accent, but not for the actual flavor. Similarly pineapple is generally used so break up proteins, and soften foods, with the sweetness being more of a side benefit. Although in Polynesian style cooking pineapple seems to be more of staple then a seasoning.Not true.

Apple does work well with lemon, orange and pineapple... in real life and in DIY.
Knowing your flavors and how to balance them in a mix is the key to success.
