Accurate Flavour Weight Measurements

[Richard Winter]

Richard, as a relatively new user of this site I don’t know you or @zouzounaki particularly well if at all, I certainly don’t have anything like 1,000+ that both of you do, and yet even I can see that there was no particular curve ball thrown in this discussion. Quite the contrary, @zouzounaki may be objectionable in some other way, in some other threads (again I can’t say as I haven’t seen that) but he has been consistent in this discussion about the approach he employs and appears, to me at least, to have shared that approach with honesty and humility. He has apparently got under your skin though as your responses are pretty humourless to my mind. Starting a sentence with a term like “people can do this whatever way they like it’s fine by me” doesn’t inoculate the part of that sentence after the inevitable “but” from appearing fairly binary. Which in itself is fine as long as your argument is relevant and backed up properly. You may not mean to have done so but you have simply espoused the virtues of what I called the “scientific” approach while denigrating the “artistic” one zouz shared. Replicability is not the objective of artistic creation, indeed it is it’s antithesis.

Again it seems to me (someone, I hasten to add, that is new to this and not very good at mixing yet) that, while they may not suit everyone, both approaches have their merits.

PS - I did not claim @zouzounaki was pulling your chain. I surfaced the possibility (whilst acknowledging that I could not possibly know) and you claimed it was so.

Right - can we all be friends now please?

My apologies @memzey if my responses seemed pretty humourless to you and thank you for pointing out my inability to articulate the correct grammar when responding to a post.
I did not accuse you of making the statement about @zouzounaki pulling my chain, I simply chose to believe he was.

You didn’t accuse anybody but you 100% implied @memzey made the statement. Have a read back and see, the record will verify this.

Anyway I’ll unwatch this thread. It’s descended into an oblivion of dullness. Sorry @MarylinC37 .

@Richard Winter this conversation re mixing (anything) has been had many many times on here with @zouzounaki ....Im surprised he still has the appetite for it, well maybe Im not.
The lack of input from old seasoned ape's tells a story...." only he who has travelled the road knows where the potholes are"

Only the once I remember it, was it no about the same time you had that cue ball stuck in yer sphincter?

Anyway, different people have different preferences. Some people like calculators and scales and notebooks, and some of us can’t be arsed and are happy with a few wee tubes and syringes.

My journey is in the early stages @Rickster and I'm sure I will decend into more than one pothole and hopefully I will be able to transverse said potholes on my journey ahead.

The main reason I stumbled in here, was today I vaped a mix I made in Oct, now I know I tinkered with it, vaped a tank whilst humming n hawing is it better, not sure, what will I add or takeaway next time.....mmmm... fk it I will refer to my notes n see what the fk I done... (shhh now or you may call him).
2.5% pumpkin spice cream I added, along with a few wee other adjustments... where did I even get that from, point being without noting I would have had no idea, none whatsoever that I had done that.
So it works for me

You sound like you've been travelling the road for a fair while so, as I'm less than a month into my mixing journey, I feel a lot more reassured that I'm starting out the right way. In time I may well feel less need to note down everything but while I'm learning it's helping me try to make sure I'm going in the right direction and get a better result at the end of it.

I've just started vaping my first two properly steeped mixes and, for first attempts, I'm really please with them both. Now to consult my records and work out what improvements I want to try to hopefully get them even better.
