Thanks. It’s snowing (winter storm) here in Jersey, so the natural light is a nice bright pure white.

what is everyone going to test these at ? i seen the suggested was 7 to 9 pct so ill probably go five across the board and adjust according to how those are , im sure many of us plan on using these as additional flavors to use in a mix opposed to boosters … well thats my plan anyway

I opened all of them and placed them on my Fragrance sticks and the aroma is initially mod.strong - strong. After about 15 minutes the aroma settles down to moderate. So I would guess 5% - 7% maybe to start.
These are the aromas I’m getting:
-
Blueberry: Strong Aroma Intensity; Blueberry Candy / “Blue” Note
-
Caramel: Mod. Strong Aroma Intensity / Creamy Dark Caramel
-
Cherry: Mod. Strong Aroma Intensity; Cherry Cough Syrup / Artificial Cherry
-
Chocolate: Color - Deep Dark Brown. Strong Aroma Intensity; Dark Bakers Chocolate. Similar to Lava Cake (LB)
-
Custard: Color - Deep Dark Brown. Mod. Strong Aroma Intensity; Dense Creme Brulee - Toasted Caramel & Faint Smokiness
-
Orange: Mod.Strong Aroma Intensity; Mix of Orange Juice / Tang*
-
Raspberry: Strong Aroma Intensity; Candy Raspberry (Dominant) mixed with Extract-esque Raspberry
-
Strawberry: Strong Aroma Intensity; Natural Strawberry similar to Aroma of Ripe Strawberry (TPA)
-
Vanilla: Color - Dark Brown. Strong Aroma Intensity; Bold Dark Vanilla Bean bordering Artificial Van.Bean Extract
-
Watermelon: Strong Aroma Intensity; Bright Candy Watermelon with hints of Fresh Watermelon. Candy aroma similar to Jolly Ranchers Watermelon Candy.

I don’t know these flavors or any of the prior/current RF line. It states 7-9% so I’ll most likely test them as I do with other flavors, pick below (5.5), middle (7.5 or 8) and above to find off notes maybe? (Around 11ish). I won’t be using them to boost, that will be tested after the initial flavor test and working ratio. But I doubt I’ll be getting them this week either

Sounds like a solid plan of attack. So with your suggestion in mind, maybe I’ll pick a cushy %. Maybe around 7.5% to start.

I’m in the mid 1500… so hopefully next week
And now for a little humor
Life in the 1500’s
Next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn’t just how you like it, think about how things used to be…
Here are some facts about life in the 1500’s:
-
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children–last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it – hence the saying, “Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.”
-
Houses had thatched roofs–thick straw, piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the dogs, cats and other small animals (mice rats, and bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof – hence the saying “It’s raining cats and dogs.”
-
There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could really mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That’s how canopy beds came into existence.
-
The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt, – hence the saying “dirt poor.” The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh on the floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they kept adding more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entry way – hence, a “thresh hold.”
-
They cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes the stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while – hence the rhyme, “peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old.”
-
Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man “could bring home the bacon.” They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and “chew the fat.”
-
Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with a high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning and death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.
-
Most people did not have pewter plates, but had trenchers, a piece of wood with the middle scooped out like a bowl. Often trenchers were made from stale paysan bread which was so old and hard that they could use them for quite some time. Trenchers were never washed and a lot of times worms and mold got into the wood and old bread. After eating off wormy moldy trenchers, one would get “trench mouth.”
-
Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or “upper crust.”
-
Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey. The combination would some times knock them out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up – hence the custom of holding a “wake.”
-
England is old and small and they started out running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a “bone-house” and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, one out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they thought they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the “graveyard shift”) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be “saved by the bell” or was considered a “dead ringer.”

Walt said the 1400’s are going out soon. So my guess is it will be a bit more before going out.
If it makes you feel better, I’m in the 1500 range and my order hasn’t been processed either. But yeah, this shipment will miss my mixing rotation and plan for single flavor tests.
That being said I hope @Leilani works her magic with posting notes. Especially since she won’t be on the YouTube show for the next bit. Which is kinda sad.
