No kidding, you’re a Dot girl? Years ago I had a friend from Southie who introduced me to Stab n’ Kill (Savin Hill) and other popular Dorchester locations. I included the parentheses because no one else would know what the heck we’re talking about. One of my favorite slangs is the Brain Train (the Red Line from Dot to MIT and Harvard) :rofl:

I am!! My grandfather worked for the Globe and my dad worked as a lineman for the telephone company. The Brain Train hahaha :laughing: And haven’t heard that in years. I don’t think I’d want to live there now though. We moved to Chatham because my dad got a job as a ship to shore radio operator at RCA, now closed and is the Marconi museum. I’m had the best of both worlds growing up…Dot when it was safer and Chatham because it was a small little fishing village (with a drinking problem lol) with a population of year round residents of 5000 people at that time. My graduating class was a whopping 57 kids :flushed: Good times. My first job was actually working on a gill netter when fishing was great.

Don’t forget Wareham, heehee. Must have been really nice growing up in Chatham at the time. And yeah, you wouldn’t want to live in Field’s Corner right now…or Stab n’ Kill, for that matter. I find it sad when our hometowns change so drastically. I always lived on the ocean so I’m familiar with the culture. New England waters are especially unique…in my mind, anyway.

Just had to add that the Cape has such a mystique about it, too. My friend’s family decided to sell their little summer rental cottage in Sandwich and down the street the Harbor Master’s house was for sale. I had fantasies of buying it and living there. A whole nuther world.

I’ve been to Cape Cod a couple of times and loved our holidays there! Stayed near to Sandwich! Also Hyannis and visited quite a few towns and Martha’s Vineyard. The Cape reminded me a lot of Cornwall.

Edit, the post made me go back and look where we stayed the first visit and it was Falmouth and was just like near to where I live in Cornwall! Sorry am reminiscing to old America hols years ago!

Both my mixes smell good, actually smell like butterscotch despite not having any butterscotch. Not much flavor seems like though. I’m disappointed so I’m not gonna enter lol.

It doesnt necessarily ‘have’ to taste good, i think learning is the main objective here. Just state in the notes your experience with it & if you dont like it things like what you would want to change etc.

Make it Public and in the title add WIP work in progress…Explain in the notes your issues and continue to work on it. This is no a competition, the idea is to get people mixing and to have new recipes added to recipe side , have fun and learn.

Ok, cool. I dumped some in my tank and it just seems lacking in flavor. It’s so vague. I can sort of taste a brown sugar note. It’s just meh. Not really custard, but some vague cream. Had the same problem with v2.

What’s really weird is despite using less ingredients in v2, and slightly tweaked percentages, they taste pretty much the same!

It’s sort of tastes like an ice cream but very very vague and faint. It’s not bad, I’m just not anything at all what I was aiming for. My attempts to replicate butterscot without butterscotch flavoring, I think adding the brown sugar kind of threw this off.

WIP alert…Some changes will be made but this is more than good enough to vape.
