A little progress. One recipe down. Need at least one more before I mix.
I have my two recipes. I have thoughts of mixing an old favorite with different fruits. I may write another recipe with that.
I haven't used it in a long time but was thinking the other day about mixing a bottle of the Orange Tart recipe that Julia Su posted a long time ago. I have pages and pages of recipes on ELR and should go through them and pick some favorites to remix.
I'm sure I have quite a few on there that I could just go ahead and delete. I think I had seven or eight recipes saved when I was trying to come up with a blueberry recipe. Speaking of blueberry, that Blueberry Jam recipe that I found and posted here turned out to be pretty good. I've been running it in the Sunbox AIO 2.0 with a nautilus 2s coil.
Right now most of the setups that I use are in a box, just waiting for me to pull them out. I got two setups in use with no nicotine juice. I'm down to one bottle plus the two partial bottles of no nic, then I'm going back on nicotine. Yeah! I'll get out my reserve setups then.
I just fired up one of these a few days ago and like it so far.
I'm using commercial juice right now with the included coils at 55 - 60 watts and settled in around 4 1/2 slots open.
First pull takes a bit to ramp up but after that it's fine.
I'll probably go with a lighter build when I tire of the stock coils as I usually don't run higher than 40 - 45 watts.
I can see myself grabbing another one of these (or so).
Cloudy is giving me a bit the side-eye though for playing around with a Dead Rabbit.
I now have 4 recipes. I wasen’t going to work on them tonight but glad I did. I’ll mix those Monday.
Don't let him fool you, he still gets plenty of love!
Well, mostly.
I did cut down on my setups for a while there, but they're almost getting out of hand again.
Cloudy was the only RTA I had running for a bit.
I'm trying to tire him out right now so he'll fall asleep and then I can sneak in some of the others.
Maybe if I cover him with a blanket he'll think it's bedtime!
Good morning. I stayed up late. The dog was acting really weird last night doing this thing she does when she’s stressed out or there is a visitor she doesn’t like but there wasn’t anyone here. Maybe she was acting out since my wife is gone. She was fine at first when I got home then suddenly started acting up. She was eventually fine.
As far as plans go today, I will watch the Chiefs play later but nothing else for sure. As always I have a couple reviews that need to be written.

Morning, mixers.
Well, rain is said to be coming back, and snow level dropping (but said to not be down to us
). So a cold rain is on the agenda.

Chocolate Swirl Greek Cheesecake
FA Cheesecake Olympus 2.5%
WF Vanilla Cream Extra 1.25%
FW White Cake 2.5%
FA Graham Crust 1.5%
WF Crumble Topping 1%
VTA Dark Chocolate 1.25%
Usually, the flavor profile of cheesecakes lies in between sweet and sour. Some New York cheesecakes use sour cream in the recipe. This adds an extra sour flavor to the pastry. I did not want that sour note in mine.
For my recipe I wanted a cheesecake that came closest to a sweeter tasting Greek cheesecake. I wanted the cheesecake note to be more mellow and milder. That's where FA Cheesecake Olympus comes into play. I had a conversation with Flavour Art Italy and learned the cheese note in FA CO closely resembles that of a Greek glykia myzithra (sweet myzithra). Myzithra cheese is rich with a silky creaminess and a fairly light tangy note.
I am very impressed with FA Cheesecake Olympus. It's an excellent cheesecake flavor with no off notes. I felt it needed to be paired with another cream. WF VCE was the perfect choice. Together they make a pleasing cheesecake. WF VCE adds a vanilla note found in a classic Greek cheesecake.
FW White Cake adds a slight cakey texture to my cheesecake. FA Graham Crust combined with WF Crumble Topping make a wonderful crust.
For the chocolate swirl I chose VTA Dark Chocolate. I wanted a light tasting chocolate swirl, one that would not change my cheesecake into an all out chocolate cheesecake. 1.25% VTA DC worked perfectly for the swirl. WF VCE helps in making the chocolate note something less than a straight-up dark chocolate.
When vaping this mix the creamy cheesecake is out front followed by the cakey crust. The chocolate swirl is experienced on the backside. It's tasty.
A fruit (or two) could be added to the recipe without mucking up the mix. A blueberry, raspberry or strawberry. Or even tropical fruits... like a banana, kiwi, mango, orange, pineapple etc. I would suggest going with a light touch percentage-wise. Doing so will leave the cheesecake as intended without drowning it out.
Any of the above fruits will work nicely with chocolate. Drop VTA Dark Chocolate for a blank cheesecake canvas with which to add other desired flavors.
@Zazie can you please add this to your blog? TIA
ETA: Ooooops!!! Forgot to give credit to my youngest daughter. This was a collaboration. She took the lead. Kiddo is getting good with DIY.

Weird is right. Now I couldn’t find her and she was upstairs laying on the floor in our bedroom.
