    Have you ever considered a small storage shed? My old neighbor had a small Rubbermaid one just big enough for the mower and gas cans and stuff.


    There's nowhere I can practically put up a shed, even a small one. I live in a duplex and don't have a backyard. Plus I have to have a storage unit for all my furniture and stuff that doesn't fit in this tiny place. I'm wanting to buy a small house but the real estate market is very limited here.

    I'm going to try a long shot. @hittman always seems to get better flavor in his pods. I quizzed him on his favorite pod devices and I just ordered one of them with some extra pods.
    I don't have any modern pods and only maybe 1 or 2 really old ones. I really don't know if this will work but I have to try. Fingers crossed.

    I have so far found that the Buttercream PB needs more PB. The Buttercream Stawberry/banana needs strwaberry, don't care about the banana and the Mousse (Mango) needs Mango ( @hittman is getting good mango in a pod) So I have not been having great luck with these flavors. I am about to see if I like the ice cream better.

    Morning, mixers.

    Had a nice break from the high temps yesterday, but somebody decided to turn the thermostat back up. Still no rain. Then again, not an oven, and no floods.

    I quizzed him on his favorite pod devices and I just ordered one of them with some extra pods.

    Being as I only use two types of RTA, if it doesn't work in them, I either change the recipe or delete it. And do all my "testing" in the same RTAs, of course. Nope, not going to get back on the hardware bandwagon at this point.

    Happy to post that the Ice Cream(Dark Chocolate) I've been putting off is good. I agree with @ShowMeTwice that it's not a true dark chocolate at all. Happy about that cause I'm not a big fan of dark chocolate.
    I think most of these new flavors are light. I am going to try bumping up the % a bit.

    I am a fan of dark choc so this wasn't my fav. I liked the pudding one better.

    I don't blame you a bit. I haven't bought much hardware in ages so I think I'm good with one small order.

    I had been thinking about what to mix the ice cream toffee with and right as I read your post I thought cookie dough. Sometimes I forget to think about real food when it comes to mixing.

    Your idea turned out to be a very flavorful mix. Thank you!!! :thumbs:

    I don't have WF Toffee Ice Cream but do have VTA Toffee Ice Cream.

    This morning I mixed 5mls VTA TIC 2.5% + WF Cookie Dough 1.5%.

    Off the mix it is nice and tasty. Very smooth. I'm getting a fairly balanced toffee, cookie and ice cream. The toffee is light and sits back in the mix, but that's the same as in real life with toffee ice cream. I could add a little FLV Toffee or SSA Toffee to boost the toffee note but won't this time.

    For a super simple 2 flavor mix I'm diggin' it. I think sometimes it's tough to beat simple mixes.

    Hoping your back is better.

    Thanks!!!

    It is much better today. Some soreness still, but oh well, that's to be expected. Alternating heat/cold on my lower back plus yoga yesterday helped to keep the inflammation down.

    LOL, a Rubbermaid shed would probably melt in the Texas heat. :greengrin:

    I am really liking the pudding. Did two 5ml SFT's, one at 2% and another at 3%. Both have been vaped up already.

    I like the pudding on its own. But will still mix it with other flavors.

    Next 5ml pudding SFT I'm going to push it to 4% to satisfy my curiosity.
