What did you Mix today?

Rude Rudi said:
You must be a very brave man to use Tiramisu at 2.5%...The average usage on ATF is 0.8%, with most using below 0.5% and even as low as 0.1%.

The "acidic" note could be from the 2 main high usage flavours you deployed here. I would recommend that you drop the Hazelnut to around 1 to 1.5% and the Tiramisu all the way to 0.5%. For a true coconut, perhaps try FA Coconut (Coco) at 1.5% or FLV Sweet Coconut, also at 1.5%. You can also try FLV Macaroon at around 2% for a coconut type biscuit vibe. Then, up the custard a tad, perhaps to 2% as it may just be too low to rear its head. And finally, a bit of vanilla will assist greatly = maybe INW Shisha Vanilla at 1%.

Both Hazelnut and Tiramisu requires a good steep, so give it AT LEAST one week in order for them to settle nicely...

Just my 2c...

Thanks for this will definitely make some adjustments on v2 the profile i am going for is a bit dry considering to leave out the custard and the catilina cream and rather go for some fresh cream. Just need to get some fa coconut think it's the missing coconut for what i am aiming for.

After having to dump about 80% of my juices from the passed month (Something went really wrong with the Nic....either too potent or made my juice taste bitter and nauseating) diy and me aren't seeing eye to eye, got a different brand from Blck so here's holding thumbs :-D:-D

What mg did you mix it at? When I had it it was potent(peppery) at 3mg so dropped to 1.5-2mg. Wont buy it again.
 
Kind regards .

Was at 3mg , the batch I mixed at 2mg afterwards was better but when I had to order again Blck was temporarily out of stock so I got gold nic instead (yet to try any from that batch though)

Mixed the last week a couple and experimented as usual:

Two 50 ml batches of Solus for friends.This just get better and better with steeping.
Made a test sample of Solus with 0.5% FW Blood Orange. See if some more citrusy spiciness can add to the party.

Some Icee Lychee of course. No mixing session is complete without it.
Been using it as a base with other fruit as well.
- Lychee Mango ~ Added 4% Cap Sweet Mango and 1% TFA Mango
- Lychee Guava ~ Added 5% Cap Sweet Guava
Both came out very well.

Some Cherry Cola as included in the FA Cola descriptions.
4% FA Cola (Usa Pleasure)
2% FA Black Cherry
1% TFA Koolada
Snozzle test approve. Will see tomorrow.

Made some Prickly Icy. Lovely in the BB. Will become a regular. And glad @Paul33 got a proper name for it. Paul's Guava did not sound too appetizing.

A colleague was looking for a candy mix. In particular he is looking for a Black Cherry Licorice. So got some 27 bears and 27 fishes to play with.
Started off with Wayne's Swedish Fishes and made some adjustments:
- Added 2% Black Cherry instead of the Strawberry
- Replaced 27 Fishes with 27 Bears (OMG this stuff smells just like gummy bears) and added @Rude Rudi 's Lychee instead of the strawberry, all in the name of science.

Also made Sugar Cookies and Cream a while back. Nice recipe but not wow. Definitely going to experiment with some strawberries or chocolate to add something to the plain cream.

Honestly think that recipe should be renamed to cream with a hint of cookie, with the amount of creams in it lol
 
So, what do you guys use for concentrate usage tracking?.... Found myself sitting with an empty bottle in hand halfway through a recipe:doh::ONTHESPOT::rofl:
 
The great thing about Juice Calculator is that it gives you alarm levels. So you can have it notify you if you get to, say, 3ml left of a flavour. You set the alarm level you want.

Another very useful function is the View Current Inventory function. It lists the flavours in ascending order, starting with what you have the least of left. So every time I do a Cart, I open that function just to anticipate flavours that are close to alarm levels.

The only problem with these functions is that they require very diligent use of the Make Recipe function, which subtracts the amount you used in the mix from your stock. If you mix a 100ml containing five flavours and forget to Make Recipe, and you then can't remember the recipe you mixed later, you are stuffed and your stock levels will be unreliable so you will have to manually check.

The other aspect is that you have to update. Every time you get DIY mail, add the amounts to your calculator. I forgot once which now means I have 20ml of FA Grapefruit, a flavour I'm not likely to use up in a hurry. I forgot to add it to the calc when I bought it the first time, bought it again after checking my Ingredients list and not seeing it listed, and now I sit with two full bottles. Bummer but it's the punishment for being slack in my admin.

Here's a great use for FA Grapefruit :
Red Sunrise by Shaner.
 
Today I mixed:

Absolutely NOTHING cause rule 1 bit me in the backside...
 
I busked a creamsicle with the three FA oranges and LB Cream. Coz it has a fat bottom and no top note to distract from that zesty orangey goodness. And I want to use up Orange and Tanger before they go vrot. I feel like I'm really pushing the innovation envelope here.
