Recap:
Collaborations continue, as always in the server. Its one of the best things about having our own special place on Discord. Extending the discussion on Noted from last week, u/ID10-T garnered support for making the ideal, run-of-the-mill Krispy Kreme glazed donut. u/MlNikon once again had to remind everyone that she does not like coconut.
u/staybert had some assistance in tweaking his raspberry/citrus soda recipe to make it POP.
INW Wunder Waffle was apparently on my mind multiple times this past week, like the threat of a bad storm looming on the horizon.
u/eyemakepizza shared his work-in-progress Worn Whips, which for some reason people just ignored...twice. Even though it has one of my favorite flavors, JF Honeydew.
u/AlfredPudding and u/isuamadog discussed fermenting letters of the alphabet to make tobacco. I don't think I have a firm grasp on that conversation.
Introduction:
I think as human beings, we all struggle to feel connected with others, and that feeling may be compounded in such a large community as the DIY sub. Its hard to get to actually know someone through comments on Reddit that may happen, hours or days following previous words.
Idea:
Lets get to know each other more. New to the discord server? Join and introduce yourself. Hang out in the lobby for awhile and chat about whatever is on your mind, or everyone else's. It doesn't all HAVE to be about mixing juice. Most of the time it isn't, anyways.
Today's Discussion Topic:
Who Are You? Really, though, what made you want to start mixing? What do you do for fun besides make juice? What's something you've always wanted to know but haven't asked anyone? Some of the regulars in the Discord today even shared some awesome insight into their families and significant others. Lets just hang out, folks.
As always, if you don't feel the need to join Discord at this moment, feel free to discuss here. If you do, we will see you over there!
Directly related? I've brewed beer and wine, grown hot peppers and bonsai. They are all forgiving within margins, so is this. You do need to pay attention to the folklore. Fun for those who are detail oriented ...
Who am I? Well I'm not Petey Pablo, at least he was better than the shit I hear today. Really though I started mixing 5 or 6 years ago to save money. I just mixed some basic things using delosi flavors and some tfa stuff. A few months back I discovered this sub and the discord, since then my mixing has improved exponentially. My stash has grown substantially and I mix way more often. When I started mixing it was to fill a need and now it's a hobby.
In my free time I work...a lot, but I also spend time with my wife and fur baby. I like to take on various projects, mainly because I'm a spaz. Before Christmas I built a bartop arcade since I knew we were hosting Christmas day dinner. After that I went down a raspberry pi rabbit hole. I'm debating doing that again for mixing and organizing my stash. Raspberry pi controlling a robot arm that will pull flavors that have been barcoded to a location. Still expounding on the idea.
Anyway pop into the discord and say hi, now you know a little about me so it won't be weird.

I’m not the oldest (chron age) mixer but I’m close to it. Teach public school, play guitar shittily after 20 years of no lessons. Just like my mixing, I just like to have a good time with it and that makes me happy. Feel free to ping me here or in the discord with the @ symbol before my name. I can’t answer 90% of any questions but I 100% know who to ask.
I wanted to start mixing to save money. I still buy quite a bit of juice because I enjoy several vendor's flavors a lot more than my own and I'm always searching for the latest and greatest, but I'd love nothing more than to have 10 rock-solid DIY recipes to rely on so I don't have to buy any other juice.
My question for other DIYers is what is the best honeydew+melon recipe out there? I adore Convicted Melons, but haven't tried to replicate it yet.
I started mixing for the challenge of it. I really wanted a good vanilla custard. I found so much more....
About me: I'm in my 32nd year of my career in telecommunications ( cableman), just celebrated 30th year of marriage. 2 daughters have given us 3 wonderful grandkids. We have 4 lapdogs, 1 cat, 4 pygmy goats and 6 laying hens.
A few hobbies, but I am most content while fishing or hunting. Just being outdoors really.
Mixing has shifted to the bottom of my to do list, it just feels like work now, but I still check in here daily. This is a great community of helpful folks!
I have your raspberry cheesecake steeping right now
Uh, I made a raspberry custard and a kiwi cheesecake, but don't remember a raspberry cheesecake. But as I just established, I'm getting older:) Link?
I received my first flavors + VG and PG about 3 weeks before my first "mod" and "atty" (Ego-Twist + Vivi Nova) cuz juice was (is) fucking expensive.
Not really keen on sharing much personal info here, but i'm 26, born raised and living in Brazil. I'm back in college after a small 7 year break, tried being a musician and kind of regret it now, as my life kind of got delayed.
One thing i've always wondered is how the fuck you all taste so much while vaping?
I stopped by today and it was fun. For some reason I always thought you needed a headset, not the case
Wait. What? Krispy Kreme donut??!! How did I miss that??!! Damn I love those things...
