I had surgery on Thursday (nothing too serious), so I had a little time to do some mixing yesterday.
First up was 15ml of the virgin variation of HIC's Pina Colada. No rum, no lime, just pineapple, coconut, and cream. I really like this
I made up 10ml of 2% peach. I love this peach as much as the white peach. I mixed a little of each together and it is delicious. More on peach to follow below.
I also mixed 10ml of 2% lime cold pressed. It absolutely tastes like lime. Great taste. However, I can't see myself vaping it standalone too often. It is going to be great in many recipes in the future.
I made 10ml of blueberry cheesecake using FA Bilberry, TFA Cheesecake Graham Cracker, and some Capella NY Cheesecake. The FA Bilberry is absolutely the star of this show. I still need to up the NY Cheesecake, but this is a very tasty vape. I used the last of my TFA cheescake graham cracker. Is there a FA version of Graham Cracker, or should I order more of the TFA? I have some of TFA's plain graham cracker, but I haven't tried it yet. Maybe that will work.
I finally mixed a 10ml bottle of the Capella Vanilla Custard V2. The recipe I printed out was a 4% mix, which called for .4ml of the VC. While I was mixing, I added .45,ml instead. This came out perfect. It is also the first time ever that one of my DIY mixes tasted exactly like one that I had purchased in a B&M. My mix is a dead ringer for
this vanilla custard that I bought on December 27th, 2013 (yes, I am anal about keeping records
).
Now. As promised, more about the peach. Since the day I started DIY, I have not been able to produce a single mix that my wife would acknowledge as "vapable". Forget about her thinking that it was good, I am talking just being able to take a tiny taste without making a face. She has hated every one of my mixes. I think it is a mental block or something, because a lot of my friends like my stuff. At any rate, she actually said that the blueberry I made the other night was "good". You could have knocked me over with a feather. Pushing my luck, I asked her to try the 2% regular FA Peach that I mixed last night. She liked that one, too! Thank you Flavor Art! A wall has been taken down. She suggested that it would be good in a cobbler type vape. I had about .15ml of TFA cheescake graham cracker left, so I split the remaining peach into 2 smaller bottles. I added the TFA CGC, and about .25ml of FA Fresh Cream to one of them. She liked that, too! I'm floored.
Thanks for turning me on the the FA side, folks!
