Yips or the yips is the loss of fine motor skills in athletes. The condition occurs suddenly and without apparent explanation usually in mature athletes with years of experience. It is poorly understood and has no known treatment or therapy. Athletes affected by the yips sometimes recover their ability, which may require a change in technique. Many are forced to abandon their sport at the highest level.
The yips manifest themselves as twitches, staggers, jitters and jerks. The condition occurs most often in sports which athletes are required to perform a single precise and well-timed action such as golf and darts. The condition is also experienced by bowlers in cricket and pitchers in baseball. - Wikipedia
TL;DR Essentially the yips is referred to something that you do so many times over and over that you don't have to think about it, and then one day its completely wrong and you don't know why. And this applies to vaping too.
I've been mixing for around three years now. I've learned from my mistakes, as I've made plenty, and most of that time I've avoided forums and Reddit because a lot of people are stupid. Which has created some strengths and weaknesses for me. It may have taken longer for me to learn certain enhancers and chemistry by trial and error, but I also don't have to follow a template because unlike some closed-minded mixers I learned that there is more than one way to skin and mix a cat. And then vape said cat.
But every once in a while I just hit that wall for no reason. Forgetting how to use a flavor properly that I've used a hundred times. Forgetting a flavors notes completely. Confusing one concentrate with another. Basic crap.
Anyways, I'm wondering who else has had this happen and what they've screwed up. I'm sure I'm not alone.
