:giggle::giggle::giggle: No problem lol! Father Time will be waiting for you :devil: just kidding!
Hopefully not for another 20 years or so! I've already got a few kinks at 30, but nothing serious. My shoulder is messed up from baseball, but I can power through it usually and I messed up my knee snowboarding about 3 months ago and that still hurts when I run, or get out of a chair sometimes, but for the most part I'm good. . . . for now

If you're 30 now, you hit the nail on the head with that 20-years-or-so statement. I was healthy as a horse until I hit 50, then omg it was Katie, bar the door!

At least you won't spend the next 20 years SMOKING. :)

Only smoked for about 13-14 years previously, been vaping for about 2. I was a bad kid. Haha.

Well if I had to guess, I would guess that you, as a bad kid, would have a lot of company here. I started smoking when I was 15, stopped completely at 53 for over 3 years, smoked for a month, then started vaping. I've smoked less than ten cigarettes since June 15, 2011. Of those ten, I don't think I actually finished smoking a single one of them, they are just gross.

Have any of you tried the Orion Go dna pod device? How is it on flavor? I am really contemplating picking one up to take on vacation with me and have for portability, but I don't want to dive in if it isn't worth it. If you have tried it and like something else better, please let me know. I'm taking suggestions.

I have one, the flavors good after the pods break in doesn’t take too long. Depending on the juice you use the pod last pretty good too. I haven’t messed with the dna settings.

I saw the new Smoant Postiano? Not sure if I spelled it correctly. That has an additional purchase rba which would cut down on the price of the pods but I don’t know if it’s good. I haven’t looked for a review.

So are you going to mix high nic with salts for the Orion? I'll be interested to hear what results you have, if you do. My experience with salts wasn't good, but the most disappointing part is probably particular to me. Salts make me sneeze!

Other than that, though, I found I had to very nearly double the % of flavors I used, otherwise there just was no taste at all.

Actually I'm probably going to use it with the 0.25ohm pod and use regular nicotine in there at like 6% or will try the 0.5ohm pods for a more mtl feel as well. Really I want it for when I go out for the day to the beach, or go on a camping trip, or go on a vacation. If I don't like it that way I will order some nicsalts and give it a go that way as well. I doubt I will ever mix anything close to like 25mg nic.

Finally submitted my recipe for the FA Switch contest. Took a few weeks, but I finally think I nailed it. If anyone has interest or some skill with FA tobaccos, it’s worth giving the contest a try! There’s only 7 submissions right now!

Sam’s Boozy Apricot.....all FA

7 Leaves 4%
Apricot 3%
Bavarian Cream 2.5%
Brandy 2.5%
White Peach 1%

I’m not a super big tobacco person, but this one turned out pretty damn good!

I’ve only used the .50 ohm pod so far but it’s definitely not mtl it’s a restricted dl on either pod.

Even better. I only use MTL for a couple tobacco recipes I make and I don't vape tobacco very often. I mixed up a few new one's last night

I tasted this one this morning and I know it's going to be fantastic.

FW Yogurt - 4%
HS Italian Cream - 0.25%
FA Coconut - 1.5%
TFA Straw Ripe - 3%
CAP Sweet Straw - 1.5%
RF Strawberry - 2%
PUR Super Sweet - 0.5% (if using cap opt for like half of this, or none at all)

OOO this too. Inspired by some recipe Pippa was raving about but I was missing a couple ingredients so I decided to do it my way. This one I'm going to steep for like a week, but I think it will be good.

CAP Glazed Donut - 3% (if you taste play-doh use WF at like 2%)
FW Yellow Cake - 1%
FLV Frosting - 1%
FLV Cream - 0.25%
CSL Fruit Circles - 5%
FW Crunch Fruit Cereal - 1%
FA Wow - 1.25%
LB VIC - 3%

You knew that, didn't you… :giggle:
I don't get a playdoh taste, but I know some people do. I actually quite like the CAP Glazed Donut. I do like the WF better, but I have like 30ml of cap laying around and only a couple ml left of the WF so I figured I'd work this in. I'm on the quest for the ultimate donut recipe. I like Pippa's dripping and I keep 100ml of that mixed up, but I want to make my own. I just got in FA Chocolate glazed donut, FA wOw, FA Pandoro (which isn't a donut flavor, but will be useful in creating one.) I think I might go for a boston cream style.

2% TFA Frosted Donut
1.5% FA Lemon Sicily
1% FA Lime Tahity (Cold Pressed)
1% FA Mandarin (Tanger)
1% FA Meringue
.5% FA Raspberry

You guys don't have like a craft donut shop? or a bakery? When I lived in Ohio for a time there were a few excellent donut places. Up here we have PVD Donuts, Knead Donuts, Glaze'n daze Donuts, Proud Mary's Donuts, ALLIE'S DONUTS!!!, Sip n dip Donuts, Augusta St Kitchen, and there are probably more. Dunkin Donuts is my least favorite donut. I don't really eat them very often, but there are much better up here. I also hate dunkin coffee.

Actually I did forget about the Mennonite bakery. I have not had their doughnuts, but their cakes and brownies are fantastic. The problem with their place is that they aren't open when most people drive through on the way to work, or on the way home. Think their hours are something like 7:30 am to 4 pm. I am never in town then on weekdays.

The amish places were the best in Ohio. Der Dutchmen restaurant up in the amish area was an amazing buffet with amazing peanut butter and coconut pie. Pot roast was sooooo soo good.

During the HUGE celebration tomorrow.... You are in luck! :yes:

"Walmart:
One free glazed donut per customer, in the bakery section."

https://lifehacker.com/where-to-get-free-donuts-on-national-donut-day-2019-1835101014/amp

:season:

I would not DARE go into Walmart on a Saturday which also happened to be at the first of the month, and also happened to be free doughnut day.

That's worse than Black Friday in 1986 in the era of Cabbage Patch dolls. There will be mobs of Walmartians.

It was originally posted by Natedogg under the same name a few years back. I made it, started tweaking it & now it's very different. I have been enjoying this one since 2015 or so. I guess I was too lazy too change the name!

I was there this weekend and wondered why so many people in the parking lot..
I quickly turned around and left ;)

for a Vanilla Kreme Donut:

.4% Fried dough FLV
.4% Donuts FLV
.4% Sweet dough
.12% Smooth vanilla

and if you want a cream in it..

1% Cream
.12% Vanilla Bean Ice cream

Let sit for 5 days and enjoy!

Mixed up 30ml of Sour Peach Gum, first time mixing this, it's pretty good s&v but I expect it will get a lot better after two days.

It's kinda close to the flavor of the gumball I was after, but may need some sour apple added to it.
