So, what did you think of this one? I like it because it meets my main (very low) standard: I can tell what it is supposed to be. As I've mentioned, I don't like much of anything that I vape, so I settle for being happy when I can taste something.
Well, I, er, uh... still have it in my steeping drawer.
I did give it a little taste in a dripper a while back and figured to let it rest a bit.
It might be a bit past a bit at this point.

TLDR: I haven't formed an opinion of it yet!

Really wish your taste buds were better,
They're very good when it comes to food and drink. I think I have problems with artificial flavoring. I've never eaten much processed food, and my theory is that my taste buds never learned how to deal with synthetic ingredients.

    It’s possible guess. Still sucks .

    Nicely put. I have a similar problem. Guess that's why I like menthol and meringue. And ginger, marzipan and suchlike. They are right there in your face. Lately I've started trying fruits, just have to hike the % way up from what most folks use and add something like meringue or lots of cream or vanilla.
    I can taste many fruits: I just don't love 'em much. I'm best off mixing them with just one or two other flavors. More than that, and the mix becomes mud.

    One of my biggest regrets is that I don't taste lemon very well. I would dearly love a good lemony vape.

    Marzipan is in your face? I've used it in a couple of recipes but didn't really pick up on it. How do you use it?

    Here's a random comment: I have decided to watch a bunch of the big disaster movies from the seventies. I've only seen The Poseidon Adventure, probably in the late eighties/early nineties. I just started Airport, which is the movie that started the trend. I've never seen Dean Martin so unpleasant.

    Is Airport the one where they're stuck in a time loop at an airport, and these monsters are eating up the world?

    Edit: nvm I'm thinking of a different movie

    The Langoliers? Although there's no time loop in that, so maybe not.

    The recipe I used was 5% FA Marzipan, with 2% each sweet cream, graham cracker, and vanilla deluxe (all TFA). To me it's a very strong marzipan taste and I used it until recently. Probably another of those vaping mysteries. Some folks can't taste certain flavors. Flavors you love to eat don't work in vape. Etc.

    I can taste lemon just fine but I've tried for years to make a lemon vape I like. When I bought mixed juice online there was a vanilla juice I loved. I tried to mix something like that many times without success.

    Bingo, that's the one! I haven't watched it in probably 20 years or more but I think the setting was an airport.
    Yes. A plane and then an airport, I believe. I should watch that one again sometime.

    Airport was grrrrrrrreat! I am getting such a kick from the movies from the sixties and seventies I've been watching lately. Movies at which I turned up my nose at the time are now great, nostalgic fun.

    I'll have to give that one a try sometime. You never know--maybe it'll hit the spot!

    I ended up quite liking Julia Su's Ginger Lemonade after a steep of a month or so (interestingly, I found it utterly tasteless off the shake). It's on ELR, if you want to check it out: https: /e -liquid-recipes.com/recipe/2981689/ginger%20lemonade (you'll have to remove the space after "e" before "-liquid" for the link to work).

    All right random folks, it's 4:45 am. Time to get up and start your coffee and vape of the morning.

    .... Airport was grrrrrrrreat!
    That's the one where the auto/otto pilot was a large inflatable fondling the stewardess in the galley? Oops, maybe that was Airplane with Leslie Neilson.

    I'm planning to watch those, too. Well, rewatch. Unlike the movies they parody, I've already seen both before.

    Good morning mixers. I’ve got one more mix I want to do this morning. I had almost all 9 of my cases out last night but just got tired of mixing after the first two.
    I have 9 cases also and have run out of room.

    Morning, mixers.

    Another hot dry day, claim is that will peak on Thursday. "Dog days" and all that, I suppose.

    North 40 still looks thirsty, so that's the plan. Maybe some whacking if the watering gets done before it's too hot. Or not.

    All right random folks, it's 4:45 am. Time to get up and start your coffee and vape of the morning.

    Uh, that was 2:45 AM here, nope, not gonna happen!!
