You know, you're right about the almond. I like almond, too, just not crazy about the liqueur.
Chin UP, mister! You want a good mixed berry recipe? This is a good one:
10% TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust
8.5% CAP Harvest Berry (although I've heard FA's Forest Fruit is better, if you have it)
1.5% CAP or FA Raspberry
5% CAP Graham Cracker (I use V2)
The extra graham cracker is good in that one, so don't knock it till you've tried it.

Make a little bottle first and try it. I like this the same day, but it gets better after 2 or 3 days.
That sounds like my beautiful mauve iJoy Solo Mini that Rich spent $50 on and it crapped out in 2 months. It started acting up after just one month, and after two months, it was more frustration than I wanted to deal with. Rich is using it now as a tootle mod and it's still acting up, but he's going to squeeze every last penny out of it before he pitches it.

The cutting-out when you fire it doesn't affect him so much with his long tootle draws, but with my short 1-second draws, a 1-second misfire was a totally blank hit. And it kept turning itself off all the time, which was annoying the hell out of me. Rich has more patience than I do.
