Prelude
Thanks again and again to Flavorah for dropping some free flavors on the subreddit and Discord many times in the past and now 3 weeks in a row. This week will be the giveaway finale and Bryson, our generous benefactor from Flavorah, has decided to up the ante: Instead of the usual 10 free flavors he’s going to hand pick a selection of over 50 of their flavors for one lucky person.
Unlike the last two rounds that were announced here and done in the #giveaway channel I’m going to do this one here and on the DIY Discord at the same time!
The Rules:
We have a channel called #introduce-yourself on Discord where hundreds of people have introduced themselves and said a little about how they got into DIY or talked about wanting to start. To enter this giveaway you can drop an introduction in that channel or in the comments here. Tell us a little about yourself: where you’re from, what got you into DIY, your first recipe, your ADV, your white whale, and/or anything else you care to reveal about your journey down the DIY rabbit hole.
If you’ve already dropped an introduction on Discord and want to enter, copy it over here and you’re in. Only introductions posted after the giveaway starts will be entered and one random winner will be chosen on Sunday.
If you're outside the US you can still enter and win but will be on the hook for shipping.
The Highlights
-
/u/BlameReligion in an attempt to nail down a fried ice cream instead stumbled on A Happy Accident. While they have posted countless recipes to the Monthly threads in the last 3 years, this is only their 4th front page recipe post--it must be special!
-
/u/xGRANITEx, on the other hand, is no stranger to the front page with Hazel Custard being their 14th front page recipe. He's also something of a Custard expert, having one of the most popular recipe posts ever Vanilla Custard and My Process where he explains his techniques for crafting a delicious custard recipe.
-
/u/whotwudino hit us with version #96 in the crusade to clone Castle Long Reserve VII a journey that many have embarked on but very few have finished. Is this the one that finally nails the elusive profile?
-
/u/TeslaDelMar wrote a relatively brief treatise on watermelon flavors for Tutorial Tuesday where he ranks them from candy to natural and provides some quick notes to help those who wish to begin the journey into a Watermelon Wonderland!
-
/u/rapemybones put together an excellent and detailed review of for the Brifit Digital Kitchen Scale for those on a budget looking for a scale. The LB-501 has always been the standard recommendation but having viable alternatives that come in at less than half the price is great when you consider our frugal demographic.
- /u/foment_life reviews a lot of stuff and in the last few months he's added flavor reviews to that list. His latest review for FlavourArt Soho is one of four he's done for the sub and I
demandlook forward to a hundred more.
-
And finally, we have the latest in a long line of Vendor Review's this time for Nicotine River. Normally I refrain from highlighting recurring posts, especially the ones posted by me, because it seems a little self-congratulatory but I'd like to mention this one because I think it highlights the purpose of the review threads well.
Vendor review threads are there to share your experience with the vendor and for those without any experience to learn more about the vendor before deciding to use them. Upvoting them is obviously your prerogative but I would like to ask that you not downvote a vendor review because you dislike the vendor but instead leave a comment on your negative experience and consider upvoting to help bring more exposure to yours and everyone else's experiences.
Thank you to everyone who contributed a review!
Down the Rabbit Hole
A (probably) one-off segment from my misadventures of clicking through old threads. From a long dead and deleted post:
Jalapeño TPA: Let's start off by saying this purchase was a fucking mistake and I refuse to vape it again, not for the reasons you're thinking. On the nose; pickled jalapeños, like the ones you get after a break up and dump on some un-ethnic nachos, you fucking monster. NOW I did two things when I received this flavour, one, I smelled it, fucking obviously, two, I tasted that cunt because I had a sneaky suspicion that this was an oil based concentrate; I'm fucking right, this shit is spicier than a Taco Bell employees asshole, its rotten on the tongue. ¿But how does it vape? really fucking weirdly, it's almost just like a capsaicin concentrate, I hardly get any flavour from the fucker, only a throat burn that I can equate to sucking lucifers dick himself and thats a spicy meatball.
