Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Now that would explain why I'm lost.

Oy. But I really only use two or three mixes (not even quite recipes) that I know by heart. But I would like to try new things. Even though I primarily vape unflavored with a drop or two of some kind of flavoring...

Time to get organized and try new things. I guess. Maybe.

You need new things.

Amarula mixes? Google time...

Don’t forget Zazie’s blog.

Can't help with the tea. Only one I have is FA Black Tea but I haven't used it yet.

Black tea (and any tea, possibly) is an acquired taste. You either like it or you don't. I don't like sweet vapes at all (bakery, dessert, caramel, chocolate, etc.), so I always look for savory vapes--tea-based mixes are perfect for that. Mild, inoffensive, and totally vapeable for me. So are various mints and mild menthols. Or slightly creamy fruit mixes, not sweet. That's really all I vape.

Funny, I started with drop-in coils, abandoned them for RBAs, and I'm back to drop-ins.

I am doing just the opposite...got lazy for awhile... was just using "drop-in coils". Now getting back into building (RTAs, RDAs and RBAs)

I got the mag glasses and I’m sending them back and getting the big ones that fit around your head. The big ones are cheap anyway. These glasses just slip down my nose, not useful at all.

Sorry, Frannie. Bummer.

Still backreading.

Random thought, I have never liked my name.

Really? My name is Jeffrey... but all my young life I wanted to called Jeff. Got older and actually prefer Jeffrey.
My friends call me "jeffro"

I should have got the bigger ones anyway. Oh well, Amazon says they will be here Tuesday so I’m good. They’re not huge or anything but the band around your head keeps them from moving.

I used them constantly for 10 years when I made knives, they are a necessity for detail work. I pretty much had them on all the time in my shop since they flip up.

Could you possibly post a link? I need better magnifiers. Thanks.

I'm not big on bakeries and have no interest in chocolate vapes. I think I bought the tea in order to have some laid back easy mixes. I figured I could maybe add a fruit to it. I think I saw a mango black tea recipe on ATF that looked interesting.

What are you random folks up to this evening?

Shop, vote, and cook. I think we'll grill a steak--DH is so predictable.

Nothing wrong with drop-ins. I love my Z-coils. I generally always have one Zlide set up along with my RTAs.

Which coils? I like the 0.8ohm coils but honestly, realized I like the o.3 ohm coils more (too little, too late... would have ordered more of those) I guess the MTL folks seem to like the 1.6 ohm coils... have not tried those myself.

Black tea goes very well with milk/cream, or fruit/honey. Give it a try. Just go easy on that FA black tea--it's a potent flavor.

I would get something like this - I used to wear similar but they didn't have led's in them then.

Right. I didn't!

Yes, Exocet wicking method.

There are three wicking methods for the Dvarw's.

With the Silverplay, you don't have a choice... exocet it is. Works great (if it doesn't leak) but wicks great and really good flavor. You guys so have me wanting a Dvarw (can any of you actually pronounce that?)

I prefer the .8 coils.

Thanks, DL. Those are serious glasses.

Sounds good. I'm thinking 10% Black Tea and 8% Cactus. Nice and light.

Amarula mixes? Google time...

FA Amarula Kenya Creamy Coffee. My notes:

From the first hit, I noticed a light coffee note. There is a liqueur like note that is balanced well within the overall flavor profile. I also taste something similar to a pear. Amarula also has a very nice mouth feel.

It's a good flavor.

I think Amarula will work well mixed with any coffee type flavor (FA Cappuccino). Mixing Amarula with a little FA or SSA tiramisu (0.15%-0.25%) would be very tasty. Most creams and vanillas will work. It would also add nice complex notes to bakery mixes.

Hey Francine (just kidding) I always wanted to call you Frannie but never felt close enough for that... so Fran it is I know I seem (somehow) to "make waves" but never meant to.

We do!

Nope! V is never pronounced as double u --never ever in any language.





Right.


More with "are" than "or", but it's one of those in-between vowels that Hungarians are famous for.

From the department of no good deeds going unpunished. You're all ganging up on me now? OK, you made me do it. Here's a video in Hungarian with the correct pronunciation. So there.
