    Thank you!

    I actually have three Banshee recipes - one is berries and cream (not mixed yet), the "no" one, and a black jellybean one that I tested earlier and like, though I do have some adjustments to try.

    The black jellybean one uses SSA Anise and FW Black Licorice to get there and it works for that one but, yeah, the anise isn't working with the mint and berries.
    I'll see how the berries and cream one turns out first before trying with mint. (and no anise!)
    Sounds like a plan.

    That's too bad. Five-spice powder (which is very anise forward) goes well with berries IRL. Guess it doesn't translate to vaping.

    I believe that I did google the flavor pairings before I wrote that one up so it might very well be workable, just that my attempt was a fail.
    That recipe is a bit busy and probably wasn't balanced well, at least with the anise and mint.
    I used the anise at 1.25% there which is slightly above average usage, and SSA Sweet Mint at 0.75% which is also slightly above average. Perhaps usage at accent percentages instead of average would produce better results.

    I only used the anise at 0.5% in the black jellybean mix and am even lowering that for the revision of that one.

    Yeah, both anise and mint can take over a mix in a flash. Probably just a little dab of each'd do ya.

    Morning, mixers.

    87 here yesterday, claim is higher today and tomorrow :( No fun.

    Town stuff, but, unlike most homes in our area, the car does have AC :)

    Good morning, David :)
    I hope you have a comfortable town run - just be wary of rampant zucchini!
