Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Howdy, Fran, hope you're staying cool

We're in the mid 90s again, humidity isn't killer but I'm hiding inside as much as I can.

Howdy, gloop. We just cooled down to 90. Thank goodness for AC.

BCF order in the house, including a free sample, Cap juicy watermelon. Now I have a bunch of flavors to try during my next mixing marathon which will be very soon, either later this week or early next week.

Our high today was only 82, and it's been raining off and on all afternoon. Thunderstorms are possible for tonight. Tomorrow's guess is a high of 91 and no more rain. Oh well, I'm thankful for the rain we are getting.

I was disappointed with the watermelon. I did an sft with it and didn’t taste watermelon at all.

Funny name for a mix or flavor.

Turns out it’s a one shot. One review said it tasted like pancakes and syrup and the other said it’s a pipe tobacco.

Weird how one mix can taste so different. Wonder what it will taste like to you.

Oh, I wouldn't mind hearing your thoughts about their TA after you work it out, since you've used TA for a while.
I read old threads and diluted mine 50/50 with PGA (well, 151) even though it didn't seem as thick as I had read that absolutes were. Their description says it's pure TA, but I kind of have some doubts.
My latest try with it is my 50/50 TA/PGA blend at 10% in PG, but I haven't given that a SFT yet.

I have since thought that I should have just made a dilution in PG straight out of the bottle, no booze.
I do have another bottle of it to play with.

The first time I bought absolute it was in a glass vial and was like tar. Almost impossible to dilute with pg. I’d warm it and shake it but eventually it would settle to the bottom of the bottle. I dripped a couple drops of the stuff I got today on a paper towel and it isn’t anywhere as thick as what I had before. It’s about the same viscosity as the MFS stuff I’ve been using. I don’t think pure TA would even squeeze out of the tip of the bottle. I plan on using it as is. I might do a small 10ml sample mix of my menthol tobacco to see how it compares.

Thank you, hitt

What percentage were you using the MFS TA at, 0.80? (Zazie's Blog recipe)

Yes, .8%. It’s plenty for me. It still sticks to the sides of the bottle and leaves a ring.

Hi there Kat

I finally got around to sanding and painting the trim around the inside of the door where I patched the old screw holes. I put a coat of primer on already and am going to paint soon.

You busy for a week night.

 

[FranC]

Not busy in here.

 

[FranC]

Goodnight folks. Sweet dreams.

It’s really not much. Just trim around the inside of the door and patched the holes where the old opener was. I already got the paint done. I just need to let it dry enough so I can put the weather stripping back.

Good morning. Just another regular day here. Nothing exciting to report.

Good morning Hitt. I woke up early (2:30am) and there was no going back to sleep. I'm about to head over to the hospital for a workout.

Good morning random folks. Have you any plans today?
