ok, just did, i shook it well about 10 mins ago. very strawberry.

Add another 1% of the Vanilla Swirl if you think it needs it - if more cream is closer to what you had in mind. The vanillas will come out more over a week or so, but if strawberry is extremely dominant now, you might need a little more cream.

I think mine is about right, but the two strawberries I used may not be as strong as yours.

Wowzers, .6% cactus? My tasters must be broke, that's some serious stuff. Dragonfruit maybe, that cactus at 0.25% in a recipe and all I could taste was cactus/aloe vera. I've seen so many people recommend cactus and I just don't think it's for me.

@nadalama I just thought I was weird or in the minority, preferring my bananas on the greener side. lol

Still waiting for a couple flavors to steep a bit before trying the single flavors as testers. The waiting game is difficult, my patience is slim.

You are not alone. I don't care for the weird aftertaste. Don't know about these days, but Cactus was wildly popular at one time. I tried to like it, I wanted to like it, but I don't get what others do from it.

yeah back when everyone was wild about doughnut flavors. All tasted like play dough to me.
Even ones that Fresh03 said did not...

Gave my neighbor a couple of vapes today after talking to her about vaping; she is a light but dedicated smoker who was falling for all the evil anti-vaping propaganda

Really need to rewick the vapes I have in rotation, but fuck it

After reading about what's going on in China, I decided to place an order with Fasttech. Ordered some more replacement bubble glass for the Serpent SMM and Solomon 3 as I'm planning on ordering a couple more of those for my prepping stash. Forgot to order some for the Zeus X as it's still in the box and I haven't used it. Some commented that you can't use a credit card now and they are correct. I had to finally cave and make a paypal account. Hopefully it all ships with no issues.

Today I disassembled and took the rest of the paint off my Alien and polished it up some. I didn't do that great of a job on it, mostly because I'm not sure if I want to repaint it or not. I know Smok doesn't get a whole lot of love, as they probably shouldn't with their shitty QA, but my Alien has never let me down so I showed it some love. I also mixed my first batch of juice today, I want to try it so bad but I think I'm going to give it a few days to steep. I'm not sure how you guys fight the urge to sample as soon as it's mixed, it's been a few hours since I finished it and it's been calling my name ever since I put it in the room.
Sometimes(everytime) i make juice, i vape it straight away. Who has time for steeping? Some flavors benefit but most everything ive made tasted awesome from the get-go and only got better as i vape-steeped. Go for it! Worst thing that could happen is that youll love it anyway. Being your first batch, there is the chance it will taste like crap too lol.

I at least knuckle test my new recipes right away, and most times I vape a sample of it. While I've got flavors and the scale out, I want to know if the mix obviously needs something extra, and I can usually tell right off. The bad thing about doing that is that in some mixes you will pick up an unpleasant edge or a backnote that makes you worried, whereas if you'd waited a few days that might have steeped out and you'd never have known it was there.

Fruit combinations to me are weird because I often want notes of other fruits to make a mix taste like what's in my mind. I use apple, lemon, cherry, and orange a lot to accent other fruit flavors. Those are the best instances I can think of where I could tell right away that the mix was missing something. Also butter, can tell if you don't have enough butter in a bakery mix, and sweetener (although this can fool you because a mix can get quite a bit sweeter with time), and usually chocolate, too.

In my opinion, you should always leave a caramel/butterscotch/butter pecan mix "needing more" at first, because those flavors do get stronger, almost invariably.

In my mind the moderate view is, like in most things, the most reasonable. You can get something of an idea about a new mix right away, but you can't hold it to the promises it makes right then. Give it time to think. :)

Nah, it was pretty good after waiting just a few hours. Been vaping it off and on since then and it's even better today. Good enough that I made 60ml of it late last night, along with a 10ml sample of something called cough syrup which I haven't tasted yet but smells great.

So I ran out of juice for my mod with no money to buy more. Luckily I kept my orchid in my nightstand with juice so I’m using that. It’s a piece of shit but atleast I’m getting my nic fix.

Working in the garage, grabbed a wrench off the bench and knocked my Kaos Z mod with a Falcon King tank to the floor

Looked pretty grim at first glance. Door'd flown off the mod and the batteries had taken flight. Tank was in two pieces. Luckily there was a piece of carpeting where it landed and the only damage was the M-Triple coil had broken in two. Mod seems to be fine and so does the tank.

I could complain about losing the nearly brand new coil, but instead I'm thanking my lucky stars that and a couple ml of juice is all I lost.

You’re a lucky so and so!

Checked tracking on a few items that are headed my way. Juice from @wildgypsy70 as well as a qp kali ultem rda that is being gifted to me from @marter. Also set up shipping arrangements to gift an entheon clone rda to another member here. Saw him post interest in the entheon somewhere here, and how he would like one. I have a really well built clone that I have only used once. So, why not keep the gifting train going? Feels good man.

Built a new Wasp Nano RTA that came the other day, rebuilt a 30mm Doc RDA that I've had for a while. It vaped good, but god was it ever noisy. I put a couple fused Claptons in and now it's quiet, but the resistance is too high and I need to pull a wrap or two out of the coils. Ramp up is too long, it's making me crazy.

Went to my shitty local b&m today for wire to try a simple coil in my Zeus dual RTA... Fuckers gave me Nickel 200 instead of n80. Good news though, they have a handful of mech tubes in their 75% off case. I don't know anything about them though, so I guess I need to do some research now.

For 4k I probably could've flown out with my tools, bought an engine hoist and installed it for you... Hate to say it but it sounds like you got ripped off.
Probably did but we need a car. Two kids and my husband works an hour away. We had no choice
