7% Lenny . . . not a fortune, but every little helps as they say.

Indeed .....Every little does help with the shipping charge they put on . . .Shame coz I could have a real spend

Heck of a charge isn't it Lenny . . . but what do you do if you can't buy local.

Go without or take the shipping hit.

Might have to revert back to steeping my own flavours again ... how long do you think a piece of oak in VG would take ?

Yeah....I get where you are coming from......Thats why I thought of Malt

I'm a bit strange but I actually want that dirty ashtray feeling after over vaping a juice......

I was stupid enough to think Ethol MALTol was a malty taste but of course its cotton candy.......Call it bloody cotton candy then !!!!

lol

to be honest I find the baccy voyage an interesting one. Most don't taste like I remember tobacco, more floral. I am trying to find other flavours to give that body, things like Oak Wood which I also have on order. Malt is another I hope might fill a gap.

I understand why people enjoy the fruit / sweet stuff but I am finding tobacco interesting ... it's like chasing an ideal that you always wanted tobacco to taste like but probably never did. As I'm mixing I now find my taste buds adjusting to the new world. Must send you a sample of my progress

I'm right with you there Ash.......I'm desperate to find the right tobacco mix...............

Not actually as outlandish as you might think - my dad is a big lush alcohol enthusiast who has been known to make his own whisky by buying a load of oak chips and pouring his own vodka on the top to replicate the oak barrel aging. Leave em for 3+ months and you get whisky-ish. 'Whishky', I guess. The purists wouldn't go for it if they knew, but it does for him

Worth a try Ash . . . it couldn't be any worse than the great ' Basil Experiment ' surely?

That's a doddle Ash . . . hardest part is the straining, though I found muslin to be pretty good.

Someone used his OH's tights as well. I'll leave you to think of a witty reply to that.

Yep muslin was my plan ... wonder material that is ... I have a stockpile of muslin sheets that were left over from all the baby upbringing ...

I'm ignoring the tights comment ... there are too many thoughts running through my mind in how to respond to that one

Balled up in the muslin, squeeze like buggery and then the great thing is I'll use the leftover muslin as wicks ... flavour infused

need to stock up on vodka

I grew some old horban seed I bought off e bay last year. It tasted nothing like, It was more like the little cafe cream cigars very mild but a definite cigar.
I had about ten plants hanging in the green house curing through the winter but they hit the compost end of January,
Ive just been up and checked the green house and found a plates worth of leaves on the floor, they are very dry and brittle but if your interested your welcome to them.

My Malt arrived today!

As well as some Cap Butter and F'art Oak Wood.

the Malt is intriguing - it has a sweet vanilla smell to it with a bit of something else ... malt I guess. This could be a good one
