Good morning. I had no intention of being up this early today but guess I may as well stay up now. I got a little over half my review written last night and may try to work on it before the wife wakes up with a list of things to do.
I had a rather unpleasant vaping experiment last night. My GTX tank 18 was empty so I changed the coil and filled with my Almond Dreams recipes. Then I took my first vape which tasted like perfume. Big Yuck. I made myself take a couple more vapes and the perfume taste pretty much went away. This morning it seems the taste is lingering but could be my imagination. I'll give it some time this morning but if it doesn't get any better it will be dumped. The offending flavor is WF Almond Cookie.. My first and last use.
Good morning, hitt.
Sounds like a plan to me.
Seems there was an earthquake here last night about an hour northeast of us. 2.7
No reported damage.
No reported damage.
I forgot about my Dinner Lady Blackberry Crumble. I think that will go in my GTX Tank 22 when empty.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen,
We have been to the forest with Øsa and neighbours/mates.
Øsa was skilled, but as usual we didn't shoot any deer.
The season is over, but maybe she continues to show interest in foxes, then we can extend.
I've been sweating, but hopefully most of it is out, tonight I hope for mixing.

I couldn’t resist dripping some of the chocolate donut recipe. It’s only been about 5 days. It’s pretty good already but can tell it needs a longer steep. The chocolate comes through up front. The donut part needs more time to develop.
Morning, mixers.
Looks to be another sunny day here, and crisp. Might make it to the mid 40s. Or not
Any of the flavors have alcohol? If so, airing it out can get rid of that.

Second tester up for MaMaMaMa23 is Dango, an attempted tribute named in honor of the King of Mangoes, Daniel Forsyth!
Will it be worthy of the name?
At first taste there is a leading citrus note which settles into a definite grapefruit flavor.
I used the Ruby Red Grapefruit at a bit less than the average usage range but it still makes itself known throughout the vape.
It seems to me that the two mangoes that I chose come in midway, joining with the grapefruit but not really overriding it, even though they account for just over half of the flavoring.
I'm not sure that I can identify the jackfruit in this mix, but once again I have never tried the real thing. (I really need to do SFTs)
I used jackfruit on the lower end of its typical usage range (ATF) as well so it could be blending in seamlessly or perhaps needs a little bump in percentage.
My intent for the cream was to add body to this mix but not really stand out and I think that is working here. At times I think I might taste it a bit but am not positive, so I think that is fine as is.
I did get what seemed to be some sort of off-note initially but that did subside and could have been a lingering effect from the previous tester.
After continued testing, Dango seems to be fairly smooth, has a bit of sweetness, but I do get some dryness at the end.
Is Dango worthy of its moniker?
Not yet.
It has potential but needs some tuning. I think that I might switch up the mango combo, or perhaps just go with the Island Mango bumped up a bit more.
Perhaps give the jackfruit a little boost to see what that does.
There is that dryness as well, but I guess I would need to SFT most of these flavors to find which might be giving me the dryness.
From reading flavor notes, it seems that this effect can vary from person to person for any given concentrate.
Testing setups:
Fat Rabbit Solo RTA with a N80 fused Clapton
Geekvape Aero tank with a SMOK TFV9 mesh coil.
Dango (as tested, 5 week steep)
1.00% Cream (Flavorah)
3.00% Island Mango (SC) (WF)
2.00% Jackfruit (TPA)
2.00% Mango (Flavorah)
1.50% Ruby Red Grapefruit (Natural) (FW)

I am. All the other flavors I use regular.Of course I don't know how old the Almond Cookie is. It's on my original typed list. The list itself is 5 years old so the flavor is older than that and could be a lot older.
None of my regular do. Not sure about the cookie.Morning, mixers.

You could drop the grapefruit more instead of changing mangos.
OK, I am still vaping the Almond Dream. No taste of perfume now. Maybe it did have a touch of alhohol? I do not know.
