Mixed my first juice!

[Karma]

How are you keeping your nic juices safe from the kids kibbster ?

I'm thinking ahead to my impending Grannyhood in a few weeks time

and I know babe will not be mobile for some time, but it pays to think ahead!

Congrats Kibbs . . . Rom mixes his Harvest Berries at 25%, but I think he's hardcore as 20% is also fine for me and I don't rate my taste buds either.

Up on a high shelf he can't reach, by the time he can reach it he should be old enough to not mess with it

My children must have been monkeys kibbster I wouldn't have trusted a high shelf with them

I'm particularly paranoid about my stash of 54mg nic in my freezer. I wouldn't want a little person looking for an ice lolly to come across that! Thank goodness I've got around another year to sort something out!

It was one of my big fears, Karma, but our 3 year old isn't like that.
The decision is under review when around this time next year when our #2 reaches climbing age

Grrrr... This steeping malarky is a nightmare.
The original batch of 50/50 20% harvest berry is turning a nice pee colour but it's really lacking in taste.
I don't think it's sweetness as I can taste sweetness but I'm trying to match vapourtrails forest fruits which is without doubt the best juice I have ever tasted!
Even a mix at 25% and 80/20 although better is still lacking.

Not sure what to do tbh, It's hard to justify the £5 per 10ml price that Vapourtrails charge when I can get Hangsen for £3 for 10ml or mix my own for a few pence but only if I get something that's as good or better than VT FF.
Otherwise I may as well stick with giving someone else £5 per 10ml

How long has it steeped, kibbster? I didn't rate Harvest Berries much myself when I tried it, even though I know it's heresy to say so round here!

You could try my Berry Crush recipe, I think it's up on the members' recipe thread. It's all I vape a lot of the time

Been steeping about a week Jen (week tomorrow)
It's nice... just lacking taste.
I'll have a look for the berry crush thanks

It could just need another week, steeping is magic

But the Berry Crush is lush and everyone should be vaping it IMO

Another week


Waaaaaaaaaaah!

hehe

Not sure I can make it last a week, it may not be ready but it's my creation that I want to play with

The trick is to keep mixing new ones and always have things on the steep at different stages, that way you forget about the older ones! Just having one on the go is a sure-fire way to get all impatient as you're all focussed on it. Have a play with some of your other flavours, see if you can create something nice, or make up a few recipes from the thread that you've got the ingredients for. For me at least, the process of actually creating a recipe becomes more absorbing than the end result!
Maybe I'm just a bit though...

Good plan Jen, was thinking along these lines myself.
Using a distraction technique on myself - Like it!

Go for it! Have some mixy fun
