I worked at a theaterpub and got to work on developing the popcorn process for the theater. The best theater popcorn uses a coconut oil base as the popping fat. You want to use pure coconut oil or get a product like this or this. These products are primarily coconut oil with annatto for coloring, and they are solid at room temperature. They are better than regular oils or butter flavored liquid popping oil because the coconut oil tastes richer and more unctuous.

You also want to get Flavacol popcorn salt. This is a commercial product, and I've never seen it offered in retail, but you can get it from Amazon. Flavacol is a superfine powdered salt with butter flavoring and annatto. It's a finer grind than the popcorn salt sold in grocery stores. When you make popcorn, you add the coconut oil to the pot, heat it up, then add the popcorn and the Flavacol. It sticks to the kernels as they pop, and the popcorn doesn't need to be salted after popping.

Finally, the butter. You can't use just straight melted butter, because the water fraction of the butter will soak into the popcorn and make it soggy. You need to use clarified butter. Melt a pound or so of butter in a pot on the stove, and let it simmer for awhile. You want to let the water underneath the butterfat reduce and boil away, but you don't want to let all of it boil away or the butter will burn. You want to allow the milk sugar in the water to begin to caramelize. This will flavor the butterfat with a wonderful, nutty aroma. Once that happens, let the butter cool, then pour off the fat. Use this clarified butter to butter your popcorn. It won't make the kernels soggy. You can refrigerate any leftover butter tightly sealed for next time.

Once you have butter on the popcorn, you can add flavorings. But anything you use needs to be very finely pulverized. That's why Kraft-style powdered cheese is so popular. Even powdered parmesan cheese like you get in the green can is too coarse to really stick, but you can pulverize it finer in a food processor.

One of my favorite seasonings is bacon, cheese and chive. The bacon needs to be fried crisp and drained well, then frozen before processing. You can't get it quite as fine as parmesan before it balls up, but you can get it close enough. Then pulverize some good parmesan, Reggiano or Grana Padana. Mix together the bacon and parmesan with some Kraft-style powdered cheese, dehydrated chives, black pepper, cayenne and a hint of garlic powder to taste. You can add a little cornstarch to this mixture to keep it from clumping.

If you like popcorn, you should try mushroom popcorn which pops up rounder. It's not my personal favorite, but it's used by lots of kettle corn companies, and the shape is distinctive.

Here's a good recipe for butter toffee popcorn. It's better than caramel corn, because butter, and the candy coating is more crispy. This recipe includes peanuts, so it's like Cracker Jack, only better. I've made this with alder smoked salt and toasted chopped almonds/pecans instead of peanuts, and it's a big hit. Sort of like smokehouse almonds with caramel corn.

I ordered This from Amazon but was shipped THIS

After looking at price difference I almost though about keeping it.

u/DesperatePleasure · 42 pointsr/AskMen

No problems from the wife after 3 years. She does get them when she's on antibiotics, so that's kind of weird coconut oil isn't doing anything.

I use this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DS842HS

Maybe it's the refined that does it?

u/colt9745 · 17 pointsr/AskCulinary

Buy an oil sprayer like this and then fill it with liquid coconut oil.

u/slayez06 · 14 pointsr/videos

uh.... no.... There is more to it than that.

1st most restaurants don't use butter they use a buttery oil like whirl or similar. It tastes totally different and is the restaurant flavor people are talking about. You can't even buy this stuff in the store (why i don't know) This is the "secret sauce" most people don't know about. It's normally used on all grilled buns and stuff like mushrooms and veggies or anything cooked on a flat top. Ask someone who works there and they will tell you all about the buttery oil.. (ps.. that stuff with crushed garlic is amazing.) Is this stuff healthy .. oh hell no. lol

2nd to have your stuff taste like a restaurant more so than even the butter oil they use it's almost about thinking how a cook would. What's that mean... Being busy and not giving a dam half the time. How do they get that char? .. they have a really hot surface thats already been on then throw the item on it and do something else. Most home cooks basically touch the food to much. They get to mixing and stuff when in reality you just let it sit there and toss it maybe once or twice. It's a really nasty habit to break when your cooking for your self.

TL;DR
So .. if you want your food to taste like most food joints. .. get you some whirl and stop moving your food around when you cook it.

u/SelfDefenestrate · 13 pointsr/MimicRecipes
u/paingawd · 12 pointsr/electronic_cigarette

Here's the short and dirty list:

  • Scale for mixing by weight It's recommended that you start mixing by weight. It makes your results more repeatable and cuts down on cleanup.

  • Vegetable Glycerin

  • Propylene Glycol

  • Bottles to contain your juice(I prefer HDPE bottles over PET or glass) A great vendor on Amazon for bottles is 510 Central. Get a few different sizes: 10 ml for testing flavors and new mixes, 30-120 ml bottles for making larger batches of juice(I usually use 30 or 60 ml bottles)

  • Labels for said bottles. You can go with printing your own on a printer, or you can slap a piece of masking tape on the bottle and write the juice name on that with a sharpie. Choice is yours, but use some sort of label so that you're not playing "guess the flavor" after a week's steeping.

  • Nicotine, if you use juices that contain nic. If you're a no-nic vaper, skip it. If you want nicotine in your juice, don't go cheap. Two of the most suggested companies to source nicotine are Carolina Extracts and Nicotine River. Carolina is more expensive, but it's clean with ZERO flavor(That's a good thing) I just recently ordered some nicotine from Nic River, so I can't speak to quality, but it's what a good number of mixers use. I prefer to mix with 100 mg/ml nicotine in a 100% PG base. PG-based nicotine is less prone to "hot spots"-Areas of liquid in the container where the nicotine concentration is higher than specified on the label. Hot spots are more common with VG-based nicotine(So I've read). Regardless of whichever base you choose to go with, ALWAYS shake your nicotine before using it or pouring off into a smaller container! In fact, ALWAYS shake your ingredients! Nicotine and flavor concentrates should always be brought to room temperature and shaken before use to ensure that they haven't settled between mixing sessions.

  • Flavors. Don't go willy-nilly buying flavors that sound good. Some work well with each other, and some get along about as well as Jack Daniels and pizza. Instead, find 2-3 recipes that sound good to you and buy the concentrates to make those juices.

  • Head over to /r/DIY_eJuice and read the sidebar. Once you're done, read it again. I'm not trying to sound elitist. There's a shit-ton of great info in the sidebar and wiki. Use the knowledge that others have gathered together in one place to your advantage. There's even a "first flavors list" over there that if followed, a new mixer can make some very decent juices straight out of the gate.

    That's the quick run down. It's a blast to do, and a helluva lot cheaper than buying at your local B&M! The up-front cost is a little steep, but for about $100 you can get to making some great juice.
u/PacamaHM · 11 pointsr/ramen

I suggest getting something like this. Some type of chili oil is great to use in ramen, so if you're looking for something to add I suggest it.

1.Product

Why did you pick Coconut Oil? While it does all the things you mention, it has safer alternatives that are just as good. Mainly Coconut Oil is comedogenic (https://www.beneficialbotanicals.com/facts-figures/comedogenic-rating.html), high rate of clogging skin pores, and generally can cause more problems to skin than solve for some people. Most suggested oils from /r/SkincareAddiction are: Jojoba Oil (but also is a little comedogenic), Neem Oil, Hemp Oil (0 comedogenic). All these oils also have moisturizing, anti inflammatory, anti redness, etc.. benefits.

2.Price

1 ounce for 14$ at your shop, or something off Amazon, 16 ounces for 8 bucks. Yes, a cooking oil can be used topically, it's the same.

3."Uses of Oil", some sentences have words like "seem" which sounds like you guys don't even know about the product. Anti-Cancer, sounds so fishy, don't think there's enough evidence for that. Generally refine the page, also add more content, coconut oil can do much more. Anti-inflammatory, don't think main usage will be against bug bites, but more commonly skin redness, acne, etc.

Then the "How to use coconut oil" section, either remove it at all or rewrite with some actual guides, how to store (because it starts melting at around 24 celsius degrees), etc.

Weezie speaks the truth. Buy This

u/[deleted] · 9 pointsr/ploompax

Here's a cleaning video to give you an idea of what you will need.

I recommend Randy's or Zen stiff bristle pipe cleaners because fluffy ones will leave little "fuzzies" in your Pax. You can pick these up at your local head shop.

Mr. Clean Magic Erasers do wonders for getting your oven looking new again. You cut a piece off of the magic eraser, stick a toothpick in it, and move it around inside the oven and it will remove a lot of stuck on residue.

When cleaning, DO NOT GET ANY ALCOHOL ON THE TEMP BUTTON! Your Pax will die because of it.

I don't think a finishing grinder is necessary. Especially for another 40 bucks. I use a 4 piece and that's fine.

Pick up some metal pipe screens. Stainless or brass work fine. You will use them as seen in this video. I highly recommend this guys method. I use 2 screens staggered on top of each other though, because one isn't quite wide enough to fit the width of the bowl oven. Loading a full bowl oven is completely too much bud. I'm a heavy user and loading it halfway is perfect for me. If you load it full, you'll burn the bottom half of the bowl oven and the top half will be left green. Then you'll have to stir it. Then you're left with green weed mixed with cooked weed and it diminishes the taste. I'd rather just cook a half bowl oven completely and then reload it. I much prefer a fresh bowl oven compared to a half cooked one. Plus, a whole bowl oven is a lot to finish in one session. I promise.

Only other thing I'd recommend is a portable container to go along with your Pax so you can load it on the go.

Edit: Oven, not bowl. I still think I'm smoking a bong.

Edit 2: You're also going to want something to pack your weed down with and stir with. When I'm on the go, I use my swiss army knife. When I'm at home I just use a pencil eraser. They say you can use the oven lid to pack it but I've heard of people melting their lid by doing it when the oven is hot. So I'd advise against it.

Edit 3: Your Pax should come with lubricant. If it doesn't, contact Ploom and have them send it to you. Though the packets are a bitch to deal with. You can buy the same stuff (propylene glycol) on Amazon and get a lot more of it (even though you won't need hardly any) while having it in a solid container, not a paper packet.

I'm telling you this because you will get your Pax. And you will use it for anywhere from 3-10 times. And then you will notice that your mouthpiece is sticking. And then you will notice that the light on the front doesn't turn purple (heating up) but rather goes straight to the color of the temp setting. You will then proceed to come ask /r/paxploom the same question that has been asked many of times already on here by a number of other Pax owners.

The light issue is due to residue buildup. The lubricant helps prevent buildup and helps keep your mouthpiece functioning smoothly. I just put a bit of lubricant on a toothpick and then proceed to put it on the mouthpiece. It doesn't take very much to go a long way.

Also, never lay your Pax sideways. Always sit it upright. Especially when it's hot or warm. Leaving it upright assures that no residue will run down to the mouthpiece and cause the sticking issue.

Edit 4: On the advice of others, don't use Propylene Glycol. It can void your warranty. Just to be safe, I'd use their "approved lubricant." The "don't use anything other than our approved lubricant" has been a response to people asking whether they can use, Astroglide, WD-40, and other substances. Which for one, isn't safe for your health, and two, will leave long lasting residue.

u/Ljohnson72 · 8 pointsr/malefashionadvice

To anyone looking to up their skincare, I highly suggest the line from Baxter of California. Been using the face wash, toner, moisturizer, night cream AHA, and facial scrub for a few weeks now and it's great.

Also, I recommend doing a weekly clay mask. Get some calcium bentonite clay and mix with equal parts raw apple cider vinegar and let dry for 15-20 min. Wash off. Have glorious skin.

And in regards to cologne: Tom Ford Private Blend. You won't regret it.

u/Anaxagoras23 · 8 pointsr/electronic_cigarette

I get a quart (32 oz) from Amazon for about 12 bucks, 6 oz for 6 bucks isn't quite as attractive in that light.

u/I_dont_mind_KimK · 8 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

Of course!

I mix 1/4 food grade glycerin with 3/4 thayer's toner. I mix up the bottle, and mist it over my face after makeup is done. I use these bottles which have a pretty soft mist for the face, but since the sale happened I figured I would move the operation to a Fix + bottle once it's emptied :)

u/show_me_your_primes · 8 pointsr/sex

I wrote up a one page guide for someone who wanted to wanted to try prostate massage with her husband. I've included it below. I should point out that the cleansing part is totally optional. If she doesn't care about getting a fleck of poop on her finger, or you get the suggested Nitrile exam gloves, then I wouldn't bother with it. Feel free to ask questions here or via PM if you'd like.

First, a few words about human anatomy and physiology...

If your guy has no anal play experience, he needs to learn to relax his anus so that you can get a finger or toy in there without pain. Secondly, once you are able to get past his anus, he will very likely feel conflicting sensations of pleasure and the need to defecate. So, a little work needs to be done before the fun can really begin.

The human anus is actually comprised of two circular muscles, or sphincters. The outer sphincter you have voluntary control of. However, you do not have voluntary control of your inner sphincter because it is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which unconsciously controls other bodily functions like heart rate. This arrangement is a very clever fault-tolerant mechanism to reliably control defecation.

So, while he can control his outer sphincter, gaining control of the inner sphincter will take a bit of training. Initially, his body will associate sensations from the inner sphincter with the need to defecate, so he will need to train himself to also associate these sensations with pleasure through relaxation and arousal before you can attempt any kind of penetration. A good way to do this is with a small silicone butt plug, some really good water-based (i.e., not silicone based) lube and some time and patience.

With butt plug and lube on-hand, start by lubing up his anus and the butt plug, then use gentle but constant pressure to slowly insert the butt-plug past his anus and into his rectum. Again, he needs to be very relaxed and preferably aroused before you'll be able to get the butt plug in without experiencing pain. It's probably best to attempt this while he receives a hand job and/or blow job. Once you get it in, he may very well feel like he needs to defecate. As I mentioned above, this is totally normal, so it's always best to do this within a few hours after he last pooped. This way he'll know that these feelings are false and can just power through them. Once the butt plug is in, just leave it there and continue to keep him aroused. It may very well take multiple sessions before he is comfortable with the butt plug inserted and starts to feel pleasure. This is the time and patience part of the training.

A word of caution: this can, and should be done without any pain. If he feels any pain, stop whatever you're doing and reassess the situation. While there is a great deal of opportunity for pleasure with anal play, there is also a chance that it will be painful for him, or worse, cause some damage to some very delicate tissue. So, go slow and make sure you know what you're doing before proceeding.

Early Preparation:

  • You'll need really good lube meant for anal play. Sliquid Silk (amazon link) and Sliquid Sassy (amazon link) are excellent examples of water-based lubes designed for this purpose. Coconut oil is great too, but it is a bit messy, so put down towels before you open the jar. Some people even put down painter's plastic sheeting beforehand. I’ve found Kelapo Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (amazon link), to be excellent. Protip: There is nothing better for hand-jobs than coconut oil.

  • If you decide to try Coconut oil, it will usually come in a wide-mouth jar, which can be cumbersome to handle once the fun starts. So, consider moving the oil to a liquid-tight container like this one or an old lube dispenser that has been thoroughly cleaned. Transfer can be done by first immersing the sealed jar in a sink full of hot water to liquefy the oil first. A secondary benefit of transferring the oil to a new container is the chance of contaminating the oil is much lower.

  • If you decide to use a different lube, try to avoid ones that contain any parabens (e.g., methylparaben, ethylparaben & propylparaben) as they seem to exhibit weak endocrine disruption properties. In addition, a small percentage of people are also allergic to parabens and get contact dermatitis when exposed to it. Ever get a rash from poison ivy? Same thing. Although pretty benign, Glycerin should also be avoided because it can act as a laxative.

  • If you're squeamish about the possibility of getting a bit of poop on your finger, buy suitable nitrile (not latex) exam gloves like these.

  • Another option for those that want to minimize the risk of poop messing up the festivities is to get yourself an eight ounce rectal syringe from the local pharmacy or Amazon (amazon link) to flush out any poop in the rectum. Instructions for use are below.

  • Trim fingernail(s) short and make sure there are no sharp edges. This is super important.

  • Optionally, get yourself some sugarless Metamucil and follow the directions on the container for several days beforehand. The psyllium fiber in the Metamucil will encapsulate digested food so very little feces is left in the rectum once you poop. This can really help if your diet is low in fiber.

    Pre-fun Preparation:

  • If you purchased the rectal syringe mentioned above, about a half-hour before the fun commences, fill the syringe with lukewarm water (it shouldn't feel very warm to the touch). This can be accomplished by squeezing the bulb, dipping the tip into your source of water, releasing the bulb and let it fill up with water, then tip the syringe up and squeeze the bulb again until water just starts to squirt out. While water is squirting out, quickly dip the tip back into the water and release the bulb. Repeat this process until the syringe is full of water with no air inside. Lube up your anus and the tip, and while sitting on the toilet, gently insert the tip all the way in and then gently (you don't want to squirt water up too far) squeeze the bulb until it's nearly empty and then slowly pull it out. You can then expel the water and any poop fragments. Repeat until the expelled water runs clear. This sounds involved, but can be done in a few minutes once you get the hang of it. Optimally, this procedure should be done shortly after pooping.

  • Have him pee beforehand. His bladder is just above his prostate (i.e., further in), and it might be uncomfortable for him if you hit his full bladder with your finger.

    Now for the fun part:

  • You need to get him very aroused, which will engorge his prostate as it prepares for ejaculation. This will make it much easier to palpate through the rectal wall, and will also increase the amount of pleasure once you locate it.

  • Have him lie on his back with his knees bent, or have him hug his legs for better access. Having him on his back will give you access to his penis for the optional hand-job and/or blow-job

  • Lube up his anus and your finger and then slowly insert your finger into his anus, adding lube as needed. If you feel resistance to the point of any pain, then he’s not relaxed enough and you need to stop until he is relaxed.

  • Once you’re in, he may feel like he needs to poop. This is normal and will (hopefully) pass.

  • Once you're in as far as you can get, start gently feeling around the anterior wall of his rectum, toward his genitals, for a lump of tissue that is firmer than everything else. It will be one to two inches in.

  • Once he gasps and starts moaning from the pleasure, you found it :-) If you can’t find it, he is likely not aroused enough, so give him a blow-job or hand-job to help you locate it.

  • Now experiment with the position, motion and amount of pressure to maximize pleasure. Some guys won’t like direct stimulation, so move to either side of the prostate.

  • At this point, he could have a diamond-cutter of an erection, or go totally limp. He might enjoy a hand job, or just want to concentrate on the back door feelings. It varies from guy to guy, so experiment for best results. For me, penile stimulation and prostate stimulation are both pleasurable, but different and conflicting sensations, so I like to enjoy prostate stimulation followed by penile stimulation. Again, your guy may be different and want them simultaneously.

  • Assuming your guy is like me, once he's worked up enough, you can slowly withdraw your finger and wipe off any poop. If you're wearing a glove, just make a fist, grab the cuff and pull the glove off inside-out. Quickly wash-up as you don't want to invite any gut bacteria to the festivities.

  • He is likely now primed for a world-class orgasm, so feel free to give him a hand-job, blow-job, or whatever feels right at the time.

  • For me, the most intense full-body grand mal seizure-like orgasms are achieved after edging for a few minutes after my wife has had her way with my prostate. It has taken me a few years of experimentation to achieve this, so don't be disappointed if it doesn't happen to you immediately. My orgasms are very much like the intense non-ejaculatory orgasms mentioned in many threads on Reddit, including this one and this one.
u/Kibology · 7 pointsr/Cooking

Some of my favorites, off the top of my head:

• La Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp. It's a salty condiment that's ridiculously addictive:

https://www.tastecooking.com/cult-spicy-chile-crisp/

• Chinese sausage have a unique sweet flavor from rice wine or sorghum wine. Slice them into little coins and add to a stir-fry. Many varieties are available (some are all pork and some contain added pork liver or chicken.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_sausage

• Red dragonfruit, if they have them (most dragonfruit are pink on the outside, and boring white on the inside; sometimes you can find ones that are red on the inside, and I like those much better. The market will label them somehow if they're the more expensive red-centered ones.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitaya

• Pork floss ("pork sung"; this is dried shredded barbecued pork, used as a topping for some comfort foods such as congee. It tastes a bit like bacon, but they have the texture of cotton candy.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rousong

• Japanese curry bricks are a great shortcut to making Japanese-style curry. All you need to add are meat, vegetables, and water. S&B Golden Curry is a good first choice for beginners, but there are many other varieties available.

https://www.sbfoods-worldwide.com/recipes/010.html

• Thai curry paste combined with coconut milk makes Thai-style curry. Many varieties are available; if you're new, I suggest starting with a tiny can of Maesri brand "karee" (yellow curry) flavor, combined with 1 can of coconut milk.

https://importfood.com/products/thai-curry-paste/item/karee-curry-paste

• Koon Chun brand Black and Double Black soy sauce are variations of dark soy sauce with molasses added for extra sweetness and color, but not thickened the way some other compounded soy sauces are. Sometimes I substitute Koon Chun's black soy for dark soy sauce in recipes.

https://www.amazon.ca/Koon-Chun-Double-Black-Sauce/dp/B00012OI0U

• Chinkiang black vinegar (many brands are available) is tangy and is what makes good hot & sour soup brown. It's essential for many Chinese recipes (balsamic vinegar is sometimes used as a substitute.)

https://www.amazon.com/Gold-Plum-Chinkiang-Vinegar-18-6/dp/B00BUIKGU0

• A bag of MSG crystals! You will likely never use all of that one-pound bag but it's something cheap that you can experiment with.

https://www.amazon.ca/Ajinomoto-Monosodium-Glutamate-Umami-Seasoning/dp/B00IH28XDE

• dried shiitake mushrooms. Shiitakes are considered an expensive, exotic item in Western cuisine, but in Asian cuisine they're just the regular mushrooms, and quite affordable if you buy them dried. You have to soak them in hot water (and then trim off the stem) before using them.

https://www.taste.com.au/quick-easy/articles/how-to-prepare-dried-shiitake-mushrooms/8jwnrwwb

• frozen gyoza imported from Japan (Shirakiku and Ajinomoto are the two big Japanese frozen food brands.) Many flavors are available. They're some of my favorite snack foods, though cooking them can be a little bit of a scary experience due to hot oil. Make a basic dumpling sauce by mixing the black soy sauce (above) with a little of the black vinegar (above)!

https://www.amazon.com/Ajinomoto-Chicken-Gyoza-Dumplings-Frozen/dp/B013H9M9YA

https://www.japaneseflavours.com/recipes/16_yaki-gyoza-pan-fried-how-to-cook-frozen-gyoza

...if you prefer chewier dumplings, the store will also have a wide variety of Chinese frozen potstickers (in the northeastern US you may hear them called "Peking Ravioli".) They have a thicker pastry.

u/OjosDeLuna · 7 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Empties:

  • Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser- I loooooooove this cleanser, not a HG item since it's not like it works miracles on my skin or anything, but it doesn't irritate or break me out or any of the stuff that usually happens to my skin.
  • Josie Maran Argan Oil- I know, I know. It's overpriced. But it's so easy to pick up a little $10 (or $14? I can't remember) bottle when in line at Sephora. I don't think I'll be repurchasing because I might have found a replacement.
  • Coconut oil- My skin (on my body) loves this shit. Baby soft err'day. And my hair drinks it up too. I haven't had a haircut in almost a year and this helps my postpone my haircut until I decide what I want to do with it.
  • Sample of F.A.B Ultra Repair Cream- It's okay. I didn't irritate my skin or cause a breakout, and it moisturized my skin well without feeling greasy, but it feels too plain for the price.

    Purchases

  • Nuetrogena Naturals Purifying Face Wash- I hate this shit. My face hates it. Even my sister (who isn't at all into skincare and will basically use whatever is in the bathroom) hates it. It irritated my skin and seriously dried out my sisters face.

  • St Ives Exfoliating Pads- They're very gentle. Brighten my skin overall, but do almost nothing for my post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. These irritated my sister's skin, which is strange because her skin hardly ever gets irritated, but maybe because it was her first time using any sort of chemical exfoliation (she's 17, I'm not forcing skincare products onto a 6 or 7 year old).

  • Stridex Maximum Strength pads (red box)- I haven't worked up the courage to use these on my face, put they do a pretty good job with my bacne! At first I was like "fuck this shit" because after I used them on my back a few days, I started getting these big cystic pimples. I attributed them to the Stridex and just tossed them with the rest of the skincare rejects under my sink. But because I'm stupid and am not one to learn her lesson the first time, I tried them again. And tada, they worked and didn't cause big red angry bumps. I'm still not sure what caused them the first time.

  • Mario Badescu Enzyme Cleansing Gel- I wash my face with this when I feel that raw honey won't be enough. I like the way it feels and smells, and it doesn't irritate my skin.

  • More Raw Honey- Probably tied with Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser for my favorite cleanser. I love the way it leaves my skin moisturized and soft.

  • Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask!!!- I'm excited I finally bought something that's talked about on the sub. I just got his two days ago. Spot tested it on my chin, no bad reaction, so I tried it on my forehead and nose yesterday. No big improvement, but I like the way it feels. I also think it brought some of the little bumps on my forehead to a head, so I popped those little suckers this morning. (sorry for the gross imagery, I'm a picker, I can't help it)

  • Last, but not least... Hemp Oil <3 - I got it as a replacement for jojoba oil since it had a zero on the comedogenic scale (I don't know why I still really check it since something could be an absolute zero on the scale and still fuck my face up). I mixed it with some coconut oil when I got it, and oh my sweet god, it was the best body moisturizer ever. The richness of the coconut oil and the lightness of the hemp oil combined perfectly to create heavenly soft skin on my legs. I'm still not sure if I like it on my face ( I like the way it feels but I'm not sure if its clogging my pores). I decided to drink some in my smoothies at the same time I decided to try it on my face, and I broke out in a small rash/whiteheads around my mouth and chin area. This happens whenever I try to take any sort of Omega supplements, and I'm not sure why. :(

    TL;DR: I'm sorry this is so long. I buy and try a lot of things.
u/Thoriel · 7 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

I use Aztec Clay mixed with Apple Cider Vinegar! I'm guessing there was something added to the mask you used that was what broke you out. Clay masks shouldn’t normally cause break outs

  • Use: Daily to several times a week, follow the recommended dosage on the bottle unless otherwise instructed. Avoid feeding multiple oils in one day/meal to prevent tummy upset.

    Recommended Brand: Grizzly Pollock Oil

    -------

    Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

  • Benefit : Good for coat and skin health, frequently used as a dietary supplement and ointment for dogs who suffer from skin allergies. Some people will also use it for flea control.

  • Necessary?: Many people wont feed it because it is a plant based oil. It is not a necessary part of the diet.

  • Use: Added to food Daily to several times a week - Feed 1tsp per 10lbs of body weight. Can also be used as an ointment.

  • Recommended Brand: Nature's Way Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

    -------

    Raw Apple Cider Vinegar

  • Benefit : Balance PH level, promote digestive health and treatment of parasites.

  • Necessary?: It is a plant based product which may bother some PMR feeders - the uses (especially external) are worthwhile for many, however.

  • Use: Added to food a couple times a week - 1tsp per 50lbs of body weight. Can also be used to bathe (instead of shampoo) and used to treat fleas.

  • Recommended Brand: Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar

    -------

    Pre/Pro-Biotic

  • Benefit : Support digestive health and nutrient absorption

  • Necessary?: Some variety of Pre/Pro-biotic is recommended, especially for dogs new to raw or dogs with sensitive stomachs.

  • Use: Added to food daily - follow recommended dosage on the package

  • Recommended Brand: Wholistic Digest All

    -------

    Multi-Vitamin

  • Benefit : Ensure all necessary vitamins and minerals are included within your dog's diet

  • Necessary?: Some people opt to feed vitamins, others don't. I like the peace of mind of adding in a multi-vitamin a few times a week.

  • Use: Added to food daily or several times a week - follow recommended dosage on the package

  • Recommended Brand: Solid Gold Seameal - this contains plant products which some PMR prefer not to feed. There are other options out there if you choose not to feed plant products.

    -------

    Turmeric

  • Benefit : Anti-inflammatory properties can help with allergies and joint health/pain. Also supports digestive health and can boost the metabolism.

  • Necessary?: No. Some people use it to support joint health with/instead of glucosamine, it is also used for dogs who suffer from allergies.

  • Use: Added to food daily or several times a week 1/8 - 1/4tsp per 10lbs of body weight


    -------

    There are likely others/other suggestions for brands, but this is what I regularly supplement with. I know many PMR feeders will avoid plant based products, but I don't mind them so much for supplementation.

USP grade glycerin i.e. VG from any pharmacy.

u/shortyjacobs · 7 pointsr/daddit

I'm a vaper, (electronic cigarette user). The "e-juice", that is vaporized is typically made of glycerin, propylene glycol, (which is NOT the poisonous antifreeze one, that's ethylene glycol), flavoring, and nicotine.

I make my own juice, cuz it's about 10x cheaper. I'm also sensitive to glycol, so I just use glycerin, flavorings, and nicotine. I bought the glycerin on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/dp/B004C7MTLA/

Tips.

  1. I don't recommend a kit, but that's just me.
  2. Mix by weight. Buy this scale https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-Scales-LB-501-Digital/dp/B005UGBG20/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1474497797&sr=8-3&keywords=Digital+scale&refinements=p_89%3ADigital+Scale%7CAmerican+Weigh+Scales. The 500g one, not the others. You want 0.01g precision.
  3. Don't buy random flavors. Pick one or two juices over at http://e-liquid-recipes.com that sound good to you and have a good rating. Buy the flavors to make those.
  4. Buy your VG and PG here. https://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/dp/B004C7MTLA/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1474497923&sr=8-2&keywords=vegetable+glycerine and https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Depot-Propylene-Glycol-Quart/dp/B005F5OJG6/ref=pd_sim_121_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=D735R4MZTM0WJN6VZ840
  5. Get some pipettes. Plastic Transfer Pipettes 1ml, Graduated, Pack of 500 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005CD2I50/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_77W4xb3TT4MQX
  6. Get good nicotine. I like Carolina Xtracts and Nude Nicotine
  7. Read everthing here. https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/wiki/diy_beginners_guide
  8. Read the everything here. https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/3lu9gx/nicotine_need_to_know_all_your_questions_answered/
  9. Read eveything here. https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/wiki/verified_vendors
  10. Watch this. https://youtu.be/EMEY5L46b18
  11. Wear protective gloves if you buy high percentage nicotine solution!
  12. Enjoy your freedom. You're right, it is fun to do. And easy. My wife calls it vaking :)
u/pyr02k1 · 6 pointsr/DIY_eJuice

On that starter kit you mentioned... It's fine, but it isn't the best route if you think you might stick with this.

First up, read up on mixing by weight. /u/Botboy141 has a fantastic write up on it. It ends up being cheaper and faster long term versus mixing with syringes. Take into account that you should use different syringes for each flavor and you'll have to clean them after use... The cleaning murders the time mixing and that kit doesn't have many syringes, so you'll be cleaning a lot.

A break down for you on mixing by weight... It isn't 100% I'd bet, but it should be close enough.
Scale: 16.99 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0012TEQMG - this is the one I have, but the auto shut off is a friggin annoyance. Pick up the one Botboy141 recommends for the extra 14 or so dollars. So let's go with 30
Pipettes: 10.00 for 500 1ml. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005CD2I50
10 for 200 3ml (you can probably find a better price) - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005IQTSE0
Dispensing bottles x2: 7.00 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B5139AG
Pg: 13.00 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005F5OJG6
Vg: 13.00 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004C7MTLA
Nicotine: 100mg/120ml 19.00 http://www.nudenicotine.com/product/500ml-100mgml-100-pg-nicotine-base-for-mixing-only/ 50 30ml ldpe bottles: 11.00 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00F098JJA

$113, call it 130 with some shipping here and there.

Now add flavors, assuming you get 50 bucks of 8ml vials from wizard labs and you're running closer to 200. This will get you a good bunch of juice and the next time around you'll probably get 4oz bottles of your favorite flavors and maybe some more pg vg nic and possibly pipettes. It's worth the money, but syringes will be cheaper up start costs. You'd probably save about 70 bucks to start, but it'll cost you in frustration and time, which isn't worth the pain from all I remember with them.
Edit: I say wizard only because of the sample size of the vials... You can use bull city, tfa and lorann direct for 4oz and up on a bunch, or any other vendor really. But 50 in wizard with shipping will probably get you 25 or 30 vials.

Syringes will take away the scale and dispensing bottles and pipettes, so 60 bucks actually, and you'll add about 30 back in a bunch of 1ml, a few 3 or 5 and a couple of 10 for pg/vg and14ga blunt needles.

Hopefully that helps a bit. I can reformat it later on the computer if need be.

u/mmhmoist · 5 pointsr/entwives

I definitely think if you stopped in January, with beginning to try in May, your system should be clear.

I like to do a natural detox about everything 3 months (when the seasons change), for 3-5 days. You could add several different types of detoxing after you quit smoking to really, really clean up.

I add a spoonful each of bentonite and psyllium husk to a glass of cranberry juice. (It can be any juice, but cranberry is strong - to mask out weird tastes - and it's known for being "good" for feminine issues. And I love the taste.) It's super sugary though, and cutting sugars is a good part of a detoxing, so I'd water it down. Mix everything up well with a spoon, and drink up.

You could also add Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) into your life, if you haven't be acquainted already. It's amazing.
It's can be crazy disgusting at first, but the results are wild. It will absolutely impact your:


  • digestion
  • bowel movements (can cause diarrhea if you take a lot at first; work up to 1 shot glass of it)
  • energy



    It's recommended before you eat in the morning and/or afternoon. A shot every morning will start to make changes within a day. Do half a shot to start, mixed with water. You'll want a chaser of at least more water, if not something juice to get that taste out of your mouth.
    I used to do this as part of a healthy weight loss plan. It helped with my appetite and digestion, and honestly gave me a lot of diarrhea. I realized I was just taking too much, so cut back, and it now really helps if I'm ever constipated. You will likely really want natural and safe ways to help with constipation with your preggers. You will likely be crazy constipated often.

    Lastly, a actual "detox" kit is always good. These are my 2 favorites, but there are more out there that are good. Inner Cleanse is the cheaper (1/2 the cost), and it's gentle. Like ACV, it can cause diarrhea. Read and follow the directions.
    The other one is Raw Cleanse. It's more complicated and I found it pretty gross, but if you can stomach the process (or find a middle ground with it, like adding juice), it's quite effective. Both of these kits are different, but their ingredients have detoxing elements that nothing else so far has offered.

    Also, I recommend drinking kombucha at least weekly. IMHO, this is one of the best brands for kombucha (besides locally made goodness). There are a few other brands that are good, but watch our for the sugar.

    So, if it's not apparent by now, all of these detoxing, in some way, stimulate you to ultimately poop a lot. Trying all these different ways of detoxing will not only detox you up, but you can find one detox that you prefer, and then do that one occasionally. I do a super big detox, as in all the things described above combined, maybe every 18. mos - 2 years, and then just one of those (cranberry juice blend or detox pills) every ~3 months.

    Hope this helps! Congrats on planning a family. <3

u/MohnJaddenPowers · 5 pointsr/laidbackcamp

Big ups to my friend Ren, who is the single hardcorest Yurucamp fan I know, for providing advice and involving a friend of hers who made this for their own Yurucamp re-enactment last winter. Original recipe: https://cookpad.com/recipe/5012229

I hate it when recipe bloggers do their life story before the recipe. Here's what you came for, extra info follows thereafter. Amazon links to harder-to-find goods included, but you can find this stuff at any decent Asian market. All I'm going to say is that if you like cooking and you like Yurucamp, you absolutely have to try this before you die.

​

INGREDIENTS

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp (or more) chili garlic oil/chili oil/rayu/etc.

1 clove garlic, minced or pressed

1" peeled fresh ginger, minced (or if you have it, 1 teaspoon of ginger paste)

1/4 lb ground pork (we omitted this due to medical dietary concerns)

1 tbsp doubanjiang (You can double this if you like it really spicy

1 1/4 cups cold water

1/4 pound tofu, cut into 1/2" cubes (doesn't have to be perfect)

4 tbsp goma shabu/sesame dipping sauce (If you understandably don't want to pay $20 for this, you can make it yourself - this looks like it's easy enough to do using tahini as a base)

2 packets miso ramen flavoring from ramen packets (if you can get it from a local Asian market, get the kind that comes with the fresh [not freeze-dried] noodles so you can cook the noodles in the broth, otherwise substitute with 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and a little bit of sake or dry white wine)

1 tsp chicken bouillon/stock powder (I use and highly recommend Better than Bouillon paste, it's lower in sodium and lasts forever in the fridge)

4 leaves Napa cabbage, thick white parts cut out from the leaves

A handful of bean sprouts

Fresh mushrooms (We usually use enoki and shitake, but if you don't have access to those, regular button mushrooms or baby bella will work fine)

Scallions, sliced into 3" sections (Don't use leeks, they're not the same, but if you can get access to Tokyo negi/naga negi, that's the real stuff)

Pork gyoza or similar potstickers, thawed to room temperature or fresh and not frozen (as many as you can fit around the rim)

​

  1. Cut the cabbage into thin slices. Keep the white core parts separate from the green leafy parts.
  2. Cut the roots off of the mushrooms if they have them, remove stems from shitake/button/baby bella.
  3. Heat a nabe pot or stock pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add the sesame oil and swirl to coat.
  4. Add the garlic and ginger to the oil. Stir, cooking until fully aromatic (1-2 minutes at most)
  5. Add the ground pork, stirring to break up chunks. Cook it until it's cooked all the way through and no longer pink.
  6. Add the doubanjiang and stir to coat. Cook for a minute, stirring constantly.
  7. Add the water and increase the heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil.
  8. Add the goma shabu, chicken stock, miso ramen flavoring/substitute paste, and chicken stock. Stir well and bring to a boil.
  9. Put the tofu, mushrooms, white parts of the cabbage, and dumplings into the pot. Cover, lower the heat to medium, and cook for 3 minutes.
  10. Put the scallions, green cabbage parts, and bean sprouts into the pot, cover, and cook for 3 minutes more.
  11. Top with chili oil/chili garlic oil. Serve it up, and save some of the broth to cook noodles in to finish it off.

    ​

    This can't be beat served in a nabe pot over a portable gas burner, family-style, but you can easily just do this in a normal pot. I doubled the recipe to feed four people, and used some different toppings/ingredients. It scales up well, just make sure you don't go over the rim of your pot.

    In terms of quantity of toppings, ;ess is more, and I found this out the hard way. Don't overload with everything, you can easily just use half of what you prep and add more to cook after everyone takes their first share. Also, the dumplings tend to fall apart if cooked too long, so go for them first.

  • Shoe trees - Jos. A Bank has sales. Look at Nordstrom Rack too.
  • Lexol conditioner
  • Venetian shoe cream (though lots of people swear by coconut oil)
  • Damp cloth (pretty sure you have one already)

    Put shoe trees in them whenever they're not in use. Don't wear them everyday. Let them sit with shoe trees in for a day after you wear them before wearing them again.

    Once a month, maybe once every 3 months, do this: Wipe shoes down with damp cloth, apply conditioner, let sit for a while. If you're happy with how they look, you're done! If you're not, apply the venetian shoe cream or coconut oil. Rub in until it's got the kind of shine you want.

If you've only tried virgin coconut oil (which is most of what you'll find in stores) you'll probably be surprised by some refined coconut oil. I get [this stuff]

It doesn't taste or smell of coconut at all.

u/ductoid · 4 pointsr/EatCheapAndHealthy

My general rule is to try not to exceed a dollar a pound for food, but of course there are some exceptions.And stockpile when prices are good - it's really hard to switch all at once to a new diet on a budget, because you end up having to pay full retail costs for everything. Once you start stocking up though, the costs keep dropping as more and more of what you eat comes from deals you found.

A couple months ago, I got a gallon of organic coconut oil on sale for $17.50, free shipping with amazon prime. I see it's gone up some, now it's $23.39. Looking at the site, I see that's the price for 1 gallon, but if you get two gallons, it's $247. (WTF?) It's not virgin, but if you're okay with coconut oil that's slept around a bit, it's a good deal.

https://www.amazon.com/Nutiva-Organic-Coconut-Refined-Gallon/dp/B01766NTU8/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1494276794&sr=8-2&keywords=Nutiva%2BOrganic%2BCoconut%2BOil&th=1

I make my own yogurt, so it's just the cost of milk, $1.99 per gallon give or take. Once you start making it, you can share in the collective outrage of DIY yogurt people at the $1 per 5-6 oz price stores charge for milk, just because they let it ferment for a day.

A few years back, chia seeds were $10 for a 1 pound jar at walgreens in a black friday deal, but you also got $10 in store credit when you bought them, so kindasorta free. The same week they had some other items that were ten dollars, but free after store credit too. We have approximately 50,000 walgreens within biking distance of my house, I just pedaled from one to another flipping the deals back and forth, and stockpiled the chia seeds, gave some to my daughter, and the rest haven't gone off yet. They seem to last a long time. :)

Flax seeds I stocked on up when they were $1.29 a pound in a manager's special.

Hummus - I buy dried chickpeas and make my own, so it's maybe 50 cents for a pound of hummus after you add in some other ingredients.

This week campari tomatoes are free at meijer after using a coupon so I got two pounds.

Generally, for fruits, vegetables, and chicken and pork I try to stick to $1 a pound. Sometimes for beef I go up to $2 a pound.

Super simple, although you do need an ice cream maker.

DO NOT OVERBLEND THIS OR IT WILL SEPARATE INTO BUTTER!! Blend it on the lowest setting your blender has.

Into a blender put the following:

3 scoops of zero carb isopure (this is where much of your flavor and nutrition come from, any flavor works)

2 pints of heavy cream

1 pint of Kalifa Farms 0 Carb unsweetened almond milk

2 teaspoons of Liquid Splenda You can also use liquid stevia or another liquid 0 carb sweetener.

2 TBSP Food Grade Glycerine

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract if you are using vanilla, chocolate, cookies and cream, toasted coconut, or any of other cream flavors. For fruit flavors like Alpine Punch exclude this.


Run this all through your ice cream maker, put it into the freezer overnight, and you're good to go.

Amazon has been where I have been getting my vg, almost done with my 7th liter. awesome quality and decent price. also the 2 free day shipping is awesome I have 2 gallons on the way and still ordered an extra liter off amazon the next day just in case i run out of vg today (amazon vg arriving today :D ) so i can fulfill all my weekend orders.

Candy cane is basically straight peppermint isn't it? found a candy cane flavor anyways haven't used it, but FW has some pretty decent flavors in their selection.

There are a few companies with straight pina colada flavoring, but out of them all, I have really started to love Inawera, as every single flavoring i have ordered of theirs has been top notch. Starting to become my new fav vendor, i just hate the bottles can be semi leaky (had them leak a slight bit once during shipping, was no problem, not much wasted, just got it all over my fingers). I still haven't had time to test out "peanuts" yet, but every other INW flavor i have is simply amazing and each one has made it into some very solid recipes of mine. Link to the INW pina colada watch out tho, as they have super concentrated flavorings and some only require less than 1% to hit where i think they taste great. over flavor and you will mute the flavor or create harshness. Try it at 0.5% and move up from there. My guess is for it as a single flavor, it might need to be bumped up to over 1%, but start out low first, then work your way up.

Flavor links are from BCV, which is an awesome company. RTS vapes is about a 10 min drive from me (can't go pick up tho, which sucks) and it only takes a day to ship to me, but sometimes they take a few days to process and also they don't have the nice selection of different vendors like bcv does.

Just realized the candy cane is outta stock at bcv, my bad, but they re stock flavors pretty quick. maybe check out here also since they have candy cane in stock. they also carry most other brands, so a pina colada flavor should be no problem, once again i would reccomend INW even tho ive never tried their pina colada. just some top notch shit they have. Be warnerned tho, it was my first time ordering from them this past weekend, so i dont know how fast they ship or anything. Also, they had a pretty massive sale (40% off) this weekend so that might make processing happen a lil slower than normal. link to inw pina colada on ecigexpress

just don't load up on tons of flavors without meeting the minimum requirement for free shipping. the more stuff ya get, generally the more shipping will be if you dont qualify for free shipping. i hope this helped, happy mixing!

u/AKV3chny · 4 pointsr/trees

All right here goes. I adapted the oil recipe from an old post on /r/treedibles by a guy who claimed to be a biochemistry student. I had it saved but it looks like it may have been deleted because I can't find it anymore.

Anyhoozle...

Ingredients:

  • Coconut oil: You can look around on the internet for reasons that coconut oil is preferred, but basically it comes down to it being almost 100% saturated fat, which is the best for cannabinoid absorption.
  • Cannabis: You can really use whatever form you want. The batch I had the best success with was 1oz of trim/shake and ~1/4oz of AVB. I like trim and shake because it's cheaper and it came pre-ground, so it meant less grinding for me. Note that this was before the closing of SR, so whatever you can get will work just as well. Also, keep in mind that trim/shake and AVB aren't nearly as potent as nugs. If you're using whole nugs, you'll have to break them up or grind them before you start.

    I used just enough coconut oil to cover the AVB/trim mixture, with about 1/2cm extra oil on top. If I remember correctly it came out to somewhere between 1.25-1.5 cups. My suggestion is to add just enough to cover your cannabis, then round up to the easiest fraction for baking (i.e. if you add a little less than a full cup of oil, add the rest of the cup so it's easier to make the brownies.)

  • Optional-Soy lecithin: Soy lecithin is an emulsifier that improves both the extraction process and your bodies absorption after consumption. Not totally necessary. I've never made it without it, but supposedly it makes a marked difference in potency. I've seen some sources claiming soy lecithin may have adverse effects on heart health; if you're really concerned, do some research and make the decision for yourself.


    Tools:

  • Coffee grinder and a small brush: You want to get the decarboxylated cannabis as finely ground as possible. The coffee grinder is perfect because it'll get it really nice and fine, and you can use the small brush to get all the stuff left behind. I had a friend try to use a food processor because he was doing a big batch, and although it got it pretty fine it was a bitch and a half to get all the stuff left behind.
  • Crock pot: Crock pots will give you low, consistent heat, which is what you want. If you don't have a crock pot, you can use an oven set at 200°F. Note that consumer ovens can be inconsistent temperature-wise, so I recommend the crock pot. Plus, crock pot food is fucking amazing, so it's a win-win.
  • Oven/freezer safe dish: I used a souffle dish, but you can also use an egg dish. Theoretically you can just put the oil straight into the crock pot, but I wouldn't advise that unless you are making some serious bulk. It'd be a pain to get all of the oil out of there every time you have to freeze it and at the end.
  • Sheet pan and aluminum foil: This is for decarboxylation. There are about as many different methods for this as there are strains of cannabis, so if you have a method you prefer that you have had success with, you can try that if you wish. In any case, decarboxylation can produce quite the aroma. Sometimes you can just cover it up with an air freshener/smoke eliminator spray or by cooking another especially aromatic food at the same time (like sauerkraut). Some people have had success in containing the smell by placing the cannabis in a lightly sealed mason jar when you bake it. I've done this once before when making a tincture, but I was doing it with a very small amount (~1/8th) of cannabis, and I can't really attest to its effectiveness.

    Steps:
    1. Decarboxylation

    Note: If you're using AVB, you can skip this step. The vaping process took care of it for you, albeit at a loss of potency.

    A lot of people don't decarb before making oil, thinking that the heat from cooking the oil will accomplish the same thing, but that is not the case. When you are decarboxylating, you are converting THCa to THC. THCa is found in much larger portions in raw cannabis, and is far less psychoactive than THC. That's why eating straight nugs won't accomplish anything unless you eat a huge amount. When you decarb, you are converting the carboxyl (COOH) group on THCa into carbon dioxide and water, which are released into the air. That's why sometimes you'll see decarbing referred to as "drying," although that's not quite accurate. Carboxyl groups are released at a much lower rate in the oil, so you won't get the most out of your oil unless you decarboxylate beforehand.

    First, preheat the oven to 225°F. If you're using whole nugs, either break them into smaller pieces or grind them in your grinder. Spread the cannabis evenly in your oven-safe dish, cover it with foil, and put it on the sheet pan for ease of removal. Put it in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Let it cool for ten minutes or so.

    2. Grinding
    Take your time with this step. The finer the consistency, the more effectively the THC will be absorbed by the oil. Be prepared, there will be powder in every nook and cranny in your coffee grinder. Take your time and get all of that powder out with the brush. There's no reason to waste cannabis because you're too lazy to get it all out. My ground cannabis was kind of clumpy, but the clumps will dissolve when you put it in the oil.

    3. Adding the Oil
    After getting the powder into your oven-safe dish, it's time to add the oil. As I said before, you just have to add enough oil to cover all of the powder with at least 1/2 cm extra. If you want to add a lot more, that's fine, you'll have to eat more of the finished product. If you're using the lecithin, the ratio is about 3/4 tsp lecithin for every 1 tbsp of oil (1 cup=16 tbsp).

    4. Cooking
    Now comes the long part. Put the dish in your crockpot on low (or the oven) for 3 hours. Keep in mind that crockpots and ovens take a little while to get up to temperature, so I recommend you turn them on while you're grinding. Keep the lid on your crock pot or, if you're using the oven, keep the door closed the whole time. Every time you open the lid/door you're letting heat escape and cooling down your oil, which will affect the efficiency of the extraction.

    After the 3 hours is up, take your dish out and let it cool for 30 minutes or so. Wrap/cover in foil, then put it in the freezer for 2+ hours (I did it overnight just for convenience). The foil isn't entirely necessary, but it helps if you spill any to keep you from losing it.

    Not many recipes include freezing. I'll try to explain what it does based on what I can remember from the other guy's explanation.

    Picture the cannabis plant cells in the oil. Inside of these cells are all the cannabinoids that we want. When you freeze the oil, the liquid inside the cells forms crystals that pierce the cell walls and release the cannabinoids into the oil, further increasing the potency of your final product.

    After your 2+ hours are up, take the oil out of the freezer and let it reach room temperature. I remember the recipe said it would take around 15 minutes, but I found it took a little longer. If you want, you can put it in the crock pot before you turn it on and let them both come to temperature at the same time, after roughly 25-30 minutes.

    Cook the oil in the crock pot another 3 hours, starting the countdown after the oil has liquified again. The recipe ended here, but I found that my oil didn't quite look as dark as promised. If you want, you can do what I did and repeat the freezing/cooking process 1-2 more times. It can't hurt. When it's done, it should be black. Like blaaaack. Like you just struck oil in your kitchen. I'll update with a picture of mine once I get on my phone again.

    5. Straining
    This is the bitch part. I still haven't found a method anywhere that works as well as promised. I usually just use coffee filters and strain it into an old mason jar or salsa jar. Unfortunately if you just wait for all of the oil to strain out you'll either be waiting for a long time or leaving oil behind in the plant matter. One thing I tried that worked pretty well was using one of those lime/lemon juicers (like this) and putting the balled up filter inside. Whatever way you do it, just try and get as much out as possible.

    And that's it for the oil recipe. Now, for the brownie recipe, I used this. They were ridiculously delicious. I used a slightly different baking pan, but it came out to about 2 batches from the recipe. With the 1 oz of shake/trim + the ~1/4 oz of AVB, it takes maybe a 1.5"x1.5" piece to get me to a good spot. They are poooootent. I actually kind of wish they were less potent because the brownies taste so good.

    And that's it. Let me know if you have any questions or if I missed anything (which is very likely.)

I'm gonna sound like a broken record here, but a lot of these problems can be fixed by taking much longer with the preliminaries. You sound like you're like me and a lot of women. You take a while to get warmed up. And he wants to jump in with oral or PIV before you're even halfway warmed up and ready for it. And then PIV is an express train and once it starts it feels like it's out of your control.

[Note: being wet doesn't necessarily mean you're ready! See: The Mystery of Arousal and Vaginal Wetness.)

This doesn't work for everyone, but it really helps a lot of couples in similar situations:

Get a good folding massage table, some coconut oil, and some nice big soft towels.

Get a good book on sensual or erotic massage.

Start learning and practicing on each other. It feels wonderful and it's a huge education for both of you about your partner's body and how to give them maximum pleasure and how to guide them on giving you what you need.

In particular, it will take the pressure off of him and let him learn how to understand your timing and needs and how to satisfy your body without the distraction of dealing with his own arousal and orgasm. It will give you both the intimacy and the feeling of loving and being loved that you need, without getting frustrated or impatient because the other person's needs don't synchronize with your own.

Plus, the orgasms are amazing and you can have as many as you want! And regular sex gets better as a result, because you're more relaxed and you both understand each other's bodies so much better.

For example, he will discover how long it takes before you're ready for oral, and several good ways to get you there, and because he discovered it for himself, while he was in control and focused entirely on you, it will really stick this time. Once it's a habit, and he's learned your "tells," he can use that during regular sex without even having to think about it.

One final link, a plug for Shakti's tantra website: Extraordinary Passion -- The Art and Science of Modern Tantric Sex. Once you get everything back on track, you're going to be halfway to doing tantric sex anyway, and you're probably going to want to see how much more there is to do. That's the place to go when you're ready.

Good luck! I hope you guys get everything sorted out!

I started out buying coconut oil at the local health supply store (Kind of like GNC, so try there) and used it to create body scrubs. After I told my Mom how awesome it was when she saw some on the clearance rack at the grocery store she bought it for me. Ask for help to find it to prevent searching forever or you can just buy it online. This is the brand I got from the health food store, it was more expensive because it's food grade, but to me it felt nicer than the cheap one from the grocery store. Once it melts into oil I couldn't tell the difference.

I'm currently sporting platinum blonde hair (bleached from natural black), and while my natural texture isn't too badly damaged, my hair's been way drier than I'm used to. A combination of coconut oil, argan oil, this hair masque, and some CHI products are keeping it soft at the moment.

I'm using this blue-tinted shampoo and conditioner to maintain the blonde color, but back when I was sporting pink hair, I used the TIGI bedhead sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner and it was fairly good to me (didn't wash color out all that fast, kept hair looking shiny and feeling soft and healthy.)

Yeah that's not too bad. Of course you can get 1000ml of concentrate for $45! We bought 120ml of concentrate from three sources (1, 2, 3) to compare and she didn't notice a big difference between them. They've all been in the freezer since and still taste fine 3 years later (actually one of them is completely gone and the other 2 are getting pretty low).

I just started with an online calculator and went from there; it's easy to get to whatever % you normally vape at.

I found out quickly that plastic syringes suck - they wear out and the eliquid melts the markings off. So I got a few glass syringes off of ebay (though really I've only ever needed one).

Initially I was super-careful with the nicotine concentrate as it can be fatal in really small doses, but after handling it a bit I realized it's actually very safe and easy to handle. Unless you squirt it in your eye or mouth you aren't going to have a problem - but you definitely need to keep it away from children and pets.

Then a few glass dropper bottles, PG and VG.

Whenever she's getting low she'll order a few different flavorants (usually from here) in 10ml bottles. I rarely mix flavors as it's simpler not to - just dump a full 10ml bottle into a dropper bottle, add 4-6ml of nicotine concentrate, then around 20ml each of PG/VG. Let it sit a week and it's ready to use.

Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with long carbon chains.

Examples are lauric acid, stearic acid, capyrlic acid, etc.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid

Free means that they are not attached to anything. So in triglycerides (fats), the fatty acids are not free but exist as esters with glycerol.

Glycerol itself is stable. You can buy it pharmacy or grocery store, under the common name glycerin.

But fatty acids, mainly unsaturated ones, can undergo further chemical reactions.

With that 120ml of nicotine, you can make 2L of 6mg juice. So for 50 bucks, you can make quite a bit of liquid.

Keep the amount of sweetener low or zero and it will have the biggest impact on coil life. Low flavor will help in general, but some flavors hardly contribute to coil gunk at all, so it depends on which flavors you use. I haven't noticed any difference in the rate I change coils using 50/50 and 70/30, and I use both regularly in different setups.

BTW, it sounds like you are trying to decide between a finished nicotine base, 50/50 or 70/30 with maybe 6mg/ml nic added already, for example... Sorry if I misunderstand. That way does work but I do it the other way around, and mix my flavor base, then add nicotine to suit the order. If you buy VG, PG, and 100mg/ml nic each in its own bottle, you will have infinite flexibility with every bottle you make.


It's cheap too:

Short answer if you just freeze yeast the freezing water solidifies and punctures cell wells, killing most of the yeast.

Long answer if you add a 50/50 solution of (water or beer) with food grade glycerin the water will get cold but never freeze.

My process:

Harvest yeast- overbuilding a starter is the easiest way or you could harvest and wash your yeast.

Decant Beer from your starter or use water and half fill a 1 pt mason jar and top off the rest with food grade glycerin. Boiling at this point is probably unnecessary but I do it anyway just to make sure no bugs get transferred in. Cool.

I then spray everything I use with Starsan and then dip everything I’m using in to the boiling water.

I use Soda Preforms but will switch to 1.5 ounce glasses once I burn through my preforms because I can boil them killing anything and not have to worry about melting plastic plus they’re cheaper.

I fill them halfway with my Decanted Yeast Slurry and let it settle. You want the settled yeast to be about half of the Preform which is approximately 100 billion cells. I then Decant excess liquid off and top off with your 50/50 (Water or starter beer) and glycerin.

Cap/Label place in an insulated bag with an ice pack to protect from freezing/thaw cycles and place in the freezer.

Just get the white, unrefined virgin coconut oil, make them, and freeze them. They will be cold going up, but they won't melt so fast you can't make it happen. It will work just fine. So you just need the oil, and suppository molds to make them into doses. I've used this oil for many things so I am very well informed in how it will react to different temps and how fast it melts. You don't have to worry about it.

I’ve recently strayed to this Hengshun 6 Year Aged Vinegar, and have loved the added complexity.

For either one, feel free to add some water to your sauce bowl. Pretty much every dumpling stand I’ve been to has done so, because black vinegar can be intense. I’ve started adding more water since switching brands and making my own dumplings from scratch on a regular basis, because I don’t want to drown out the flavor.

While we’re here geeking out about Chinese sauces, here’s a reminder that Shaoxing cooking wine is amazing. I ran out for a while, and my dumplings and stir fries suffered dramatically. Sometimes you don’t appreciate something until it’s gone.

Avocado Oil is amazing! I literally drink it by the gallon! And by the way, it is only 39 cents per oz if you buy it like this :) Walmart also has various brands for about the same price, if you have a Walmart near you.

The reason Avocado Oil is amazing is for the following reasons:

  • It has a great fat profile (being mostly mono-unsaturated fats which are superior to poly-unsaturated)
  • It has almost no taste, which makes it great for cooking and for protein shakes (or keto meal replacement shakes which is what I use it for)
  • It is relatively inexpensive (see link in prior paragraph above)
  • It is inoffensive and very neutral to your stomach. The keto meal replacement shake I use recommended heavy cream but in large quantities, myself (and many others) get digestive issues. With avocado oil, no such issues whatsoever.
  • It has absolutely 0 carbs compared to other fat sources like heavy cream, etc. This means getting into keto and staying in keto faster and easier, as well as more ketones, if that is important to you.
  • And it has a great Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio, compared to other fat sources, especially when you take into account the benefits above (taste etc). Link: https://theconsciouslife.com/omega-3-6-9-ratio-cooking-oils.htm

    More great discussions if interested.

u/buzwork · 3 pointsr/ketochow
  1. I use the following, in order of preference: butter (4tbsp), heavy whipping cream (1/3 cup), avocado oil (1/4 cup). All are great but butter is aweome.
  2. If you order the weekly special (10% off) and grab 4 bags (5% off) you'll get both discounts. There are coupons out there occasionally as well. Without coupons it works out to 84 servings at $2.69 cents before your fat/oil source. If you go with Baja Precious avocado oil from Amazon, with subscribe and save it works out to $0.55 per serving. That's $9.70/day if you do 3 shakes. Now Ultra Omega 3 works out to $0.23 per day bring you to $9.93 per day.
  3. Immersion blender is the way to go. I spent the first month using shaker/blender bottles. It's slow and doesn't always fully mix. Immersion blenders are super easy to clean and it takes me about 3 minutes (or less) to fully clean with hot water and dish soap.

    I use a gallon pitcher, add (1.5 cups avocado oil or 2 cups of Darigold heavy whipping cream or 24 tablespoons of melted Kerrygold Irish Grass Fed salted butter), 6 scoops of ketochow, fill it 3/4 of the way full with water, give it 60 seconds with the immersion blender, let it sit for 2 minutes, and do another 60 seconds with the immersion blender. Then it goes into 6 bottles which is good for 2 days worth. I usually do 3 pitchers for 18 total servings, or 6 days.

    I normally don't need anything else to get me through the day, but I keep extra stuff in the refrigerator if do need a snack, or I'll replace one of my Ketochow servings with a combo of bacon, eggs, cheese, and veggies.

    I am lazy AF so I also regularly visit Costco and buy bags of Babybel cheese minis (regular, white cheddar, and light), packages of Kirkland precooked bacon, and boxes of Kirkland peeled hard boiled eggs. I also buy cauliflower, broccoli, and avocados for snacks. I'll occasionally grab a few rotisserie chickens, cut them in half while they're still warm, and refrigerate them, and have half as a meal when I'm craving something more substantial than Ketochow. 350f for 30 minutes heats them up perfectly.

    I recommend https://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ to figure out your macros and deficits and cronometer.com to track your dailies.

    I've lost 31 pounds in just under 3 months eating mostly just 3 ketochow servings a day with a few supplements (omega 3, magnesium, fiber capsules). Started at 210 and I'm now 179 (46m, 5'10", goal weight 170, possibly 160).

    The only downside I've encountered is having to buy a bunch of sealed bottles (and having to wash them).

One consideration is the fat composition of whole milk and soy milk, which (going by soybean oil's composition for the soy milk) have a lot of saturated and omega-6 fats respectively, with soybean oil being around 50% (!!) omega-6. Which is why I'm personally going with Light Fuel rather than Schmilk or Athlete Fuel so that I can customize the fat profile, using something like olive or avocado oil and supplementing with coconut and fish oils.

(btw, the cheapest olive oil per unit volume I've been able to find in-store or online (apart from possibly costco in-store) is this, the cheapest coconut oil in smallish containers that you can stick in the microwave is this, the cheapest coconut oil without concern for container size is this, and the cheapest canola oil is this.

You must dilute essential oils in a carrier oil like Coconut oil.

I recommend something like Nutiva Cold pressed Organic oil:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NTCE1M/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And then any number of organic essential oils. Plant Therapy on Amazon has a lot. Other brands also have some. There is a nice organic cinnamon brand: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GMTXFLE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is expensive, and all nice essential oils are like 10 bucks or more, but they also generally last quite a while.

You can use them how you wish. But for oral health there is ZERO doubt. Cinnamon oil and coconut oil will clean the hell out of your mouth, even going so far as to make major dental chemicals like chlorhexidine obsolete.

Just get a hunk of oil and then drop one or two drops of the essential oil in your mouth. Swish around for 20m. You can go longer if you wish. Many studies note that if you can tolerate it length of time in contact is more important than overall concentration in dose.

Jerking off and using coconut oil as a lube also does wonders for the smell (by no means a replacement for washing, though). It's particularly good as a lube because your skin absorbs it after rubbing it in for a while (so it also makes for a good lotion).

I've been using this Coconut oil, which is expensive, but is lasting us for a very long time and tastes really good. Eggs fried in it are superb!

I just grab olive oil from Sainsburys with our normal shop. I usually get some just a few notches up from the cheapest, but I doubt I'd know the difference to be honest.

Not many people know that I make a lot of my own products. I don't trust chemicals, so I make most of my own cleaning products. I also make my own toothpaste, body wash, hair and face products, etc. I make a lot of them using coconut oil. It's such an amazing item and it can be used a million different ways. I especially love the toothpaste I make from it. It makes my teeth feel so clean. Another thing I like to do with it is mix in a little sugar to make a lip or face/body scrub. It tastes like frosting. Its SO good. And coconut oil is much healthier than other oils. I dont use any other oils or butter/margarine anymore. It has all been replaced with coconut oil.

Thanks for the contest. Have a beautiful day!!!

Not necessarily lifting related, but examining your diet in-depth is the best way to figure out what supps you should spend money on.

My analysis of my own diet suggests I am deficient in vitamin K, vitamin D, vitamin C, and thiamin. I get plenty of omega-3's from my diet.

My top picks for supplements then are vitamin K and vitamin D (I do not go into the sun... death from melanoma in my family). To get more thiamine I've just been trying to eat more pork (beef is not a fantastic source, so I've been trying to expand my horizons a bit... lol). I don't worry about vitamin C.

Vitamin K is not cheap, but vitamin D is. It's easy to get vitamin K from greens if you like rabbit food... I do not.

For lifting, creatine hasn't helped me much so far, but I did gain a lot of (lean) weight when I started taking it, and it made me look huge. Creatine is super cheap, too. There are cheap sources of coconut oil out there, just avoid the boutique buzzwords like "extra virgin." I bought this stuff.

u/kennufs · 2 pointsr/keto

You can get a gallon jar of coconut oil on Amazon for $20 delivered. I keep meaning to but this...

u/Mach10X · 2 pointsr/abv

You can cook a coconut oil extraction on a stove top on very low heat, but you have to watch it closely and stir very often. Consider making a double boiler, put a small pot into a big pot with simmering water. A slowcooker is just a safe way to prevent overheating the oil, though I would strongly recommend getting one not just for ABV but for cooking in general, especially for turning cheap cuts of meat from tough and terrible into mouthwateringly delicious.

Go to a heathfood or vitamin store like GNC and get some soy lecithin, grind up the ABV by hand if you have to or with a coffee grinder, mix coconut oil, ABV powder and lecithin in the small pot, put that into the bigger pot with water that is barely boiling or even a step down from boiling so it's too hot to keep your hand in but not yet boiling. Let it sit for 2 hours heating, stirring and topping off water after about an hour. Remove from the heat and let it cool, pop it in the freezer for at least 2 hours. Repeat the heat and freeze steps at least one more time.

You can substitute propylene glycol or vegetable glycerine if you can't find lecithin, you can even put nothing extra in but it wont be as potent. You can even forego the grinding and still get a good result, but if you have access to a freezer please do freeze it as it makes a huge difference. Heat > freeze > heat > freeze, it really helps release all the goodies as the freezer makes ice crystals that shreds the ABV on the cellular level.

Once you have your coconut oil (you can use cheap coconut oil, I use this stuff: http://amzn.com/B00A2A88ZW ), I also add in a few drops of lemongrass oil, some believe the myrcene in it helps with potency, even if that's bull it still helps make it smell better and helps with any burps you get eating the oil not tasting like ass. If you're the type that tends to get gas from eating ABV you can help a bit by pouring the hot oil through a cheese cloth lined wire mesh strainer, you'll have to go slow and help force the oil through with a rubber spatula or something like that since the oil will start to filter through very slowly.

KY is only acceptable in the sense that it's safe. It's a crappy lube.

u/TheLivingExperiment · 2 pointsr/asktransgender

>At about 4 months, how often were you dilating per day? I kinda have plans where I won't have a lot of privacy for dilating unless I push people out of where I'd probably end up sleeping, but that can be arranged. If 3.7-4 months requires dilation too often, I'm thinking of canceling the plans early.

At 4 months it's twice a day. General schedule is:

  • Week 1 in hospital, no dilating
  • Week 2 in hotel, static dilation (just push in to depth and hold for 15-20 minutes) 3x/day
  • Week 3-4 in hotel, start dynamic dilation (once at depth, you push in for 10-15 seconds firmly, then release pressure and try to keep the tip in the same spot, but rotate the end you're holding on to in a cone shape) 3x/day
  • Month 2-3 at home, continue dynamic dialtion 3x/day
  • Month 4-6 at home, dynamic dilation 2x/day
  • Month 6-12 at home, dynamic dilation 1x/day (note, usually by month 9 you can drop this down to once every 2 or 3 days... your body will tell you if you need to do it more often... if it's been too long dilation will be more uncomfortable and harder than when you do it more frequently)
  • 1 year+ at home, dynamic dilation as needed. Usually 2-3x/week. Sex can partially replace dilation, and over time it'll need to happen less and less often. Some girls a few years post SRS dilate once a month. YMMV

    So, at that point you'd be doing dilation 2x/day. Month 2-4 was probably the most important to do to schedule in my experience.

    >Did your libido change after SRS? I'm worried that mine might disappear post-op.

    Hard to say. I've always been sexual, but can take it or leave it when it comes to sex. I'm also very protective of who I let play with my pussy as I have the parts I wanted now, so I don't want to have a point where I no longer have them or they are damaged in some way. Not that it realistically would happen, but it's hard for me to get past that.

    With the right partner though, I'm probably more sexual now as I want to enjoy the new bits.

    >I've been thinking of buying the same Sliquid organics lube for sex. Judging by how my current fling likes to have sex though, I'm pretty damn sure I'll end up tasting the lube at some point. What does this Sliquid organics lube taste like to you?

    I just tasted some and it tastes slightly fruity, and a flavor I've tasted before but can't quite place. It's not something I'd say is delicious, but it's certainly not a bad taste. As far as lubes go it's a better tasting one.

    >Why did you resume taking spironolactone after SRS? I can't really see a purpose in taking like 200 mg spiro post op aside for stuff related to hypertension or simply wanting to take an amount that will let you eat salty stuff without a single worry.

    I continued on way longer than I needed to for a few reasons. One is that my body had only been on HRT for 1.5 years when I had SRS. I've seen anecdotal stuff that it takes longer than that for your body to adjust. This was corroborated through my experience of feeling more masculine, body hair coming back, etc in Thailand after SRS. It could've been other factors, no way to know. I meant to drop it down about 6 months post op and just forgot.

    Largely it's a thing of habit that I formed and kept with. Get blood work done to figure out your levels post op (don't be like me and go a year post-op to have it done lol).

    >For dilating lube, do you happen to have experience with using different types of coconut oil alone and together with water based lube? In preparation for cooking, post-op sex eventually, and dilation (I'm assuming that moisturizing the vagina will promote recovery too), I ended up getting unrefined coconut oil and expeller pressed refined coconut oil (apparently lowest scent/no chemicals [clean] used for refining). If you happen to have experience with different types of coconut oil, do you happen to know which type would work better?

    I do not. The one I use is this one which is unrefined. It's worked well for me, but I haven't tried other options.

    >Regarding dilators, should I get extras from Suporn when I'm there? I'm leaning towards buying extras just in case one breaks, gets misplaced, or anything like that.

    I thought about that myself. It's pretty cheap to do honestly (like $10-15 USD IIRC). It's not been needed for me though. I've dropped them from 4+ ft on to tile accidentally and they didn't break/chip. I don't think it's needed unless you're likely to drop them repeatedly on hard surfaces for whatever reason. It's cheaper to get them while there than shipping them.

    >Where did you end up getting a tracheal shave? I'm still not 100% sure where to go or who to choose for it. I kinda have an idea of who I will choose, but I'm still not as certain as I'd like to be.

    I didn't get that done. Only surgery has been SRS, so I can't speak to this (haven't looked into it really either).

    >How did the appointment with the Thai psychiatrist go for the 2nd SRS letter? I'm kinda worried about that but that's mainly due to possible language barrier issues.

    It's really easy. They give you a pamphlet that has you do some drawings. They ask you about how long you've felt "as a woman" and things like that. I was pretty honest although embellished the "always wanted to be a woman" part a bit just to avoid potential issues. Don't get too worried about it. Seemed to be more of a paperwork/proper legal process kind of thing more than an in depth psycho analysis. It was maybe 30 minutes long. They speak broken english, but it's understandable and easy to communicate. Just don't use obscure words or get too far into your responses.

    >Also, this might be a bit of a long shot question, but if I'm with a guy that's thicker than the large dilator from Suporn, should I consider buying a bigger dilator?

    Your call. I've been with guys larger and thought about buying it as well. I'd say it depends on how much larger, as well as how frequent sex is. If you're having sex with this partner 2-3x week after month 6-9, then probably won't do much to help. If you're having sex with them sporadically or otherwise don't want to have to ease into sex with them, then pick up a large dilator.

    If you're comfortable with this partner, I'd personally probably just try it and work on it as it's a reason to have more sex. If it's a little more of a every so often partner then I might get it to make it easier when together.

    Hope this helps!

u/firexcracker · 2 pointsr/ferrets
  1. Ferrets are itchy animals. What you've described is pretty normal. However, if you feel it is excessive, try incorporating an oil into their diet. Salmon oil or coconut oil are both excellent for improving fur and skin condition. Dosage is no more than 1/4 tsp at a time, no more than 2-3x a week. (to get them to try it, rub it on their nose so they are forced to lick it off. don't be discouraged if they don't take to it right away)

  2. It's never too late to re-train a ferret. They are very smart animals.. just stubborn. If your ferret is refusing to use the box then it's time to re-evaluate the supplies you use. They are seriously one of the pickiest animals I've ever known in terms of what is acceptable litter box conditions.

    What kind of boxes and litter are you using? Where are the litter boxes placed?

    Box size, in my opinion, is the biggest factor in whether or not a ferret will use the box reliably. Most ferrets prefer to be able to get their entire bodies into the box and have room to turn around. A lot of the smaller triangle and square boxes don't allow room for this. I personally use a cat sized litter box. It doesn't have to be a jumbo sized one or anything, just a regular cat sized box. I used a scissors to cut away part of the wall in the front so they can get in and out of it easily. Since I started using cat boxes about 2 years ago, my ferrets have been amazing with going in the box. There hasn't been an accident in months.

    Next on the importance list is box location. Please keep in mind that ferrets are burrowing creatures. They like places that are dark and enclosed. The reason why ferrets back up into a corner to potty is because their ancestors in the wild are actually solitary creatures. Backing up to potty allows them to keep an eye on their environment so they aren't vulnerable to attack. Ferrets still have some of that instinctual behavior, so having a box with high walls, and putting it in a corner will help a lot. Just as an example, I have a box in my closet and one underneath an end table.

    It's also important to note that sometimes it's easiest on everyone involved to just give in to them. If they have chosen a place to potty, and they do this continually.. just put a box there. It will make them happy and save your sanity and your floor. I see so many people who are vehement about forcing their ferret to go to a specific place to potty. They are hilariously stubborn animals. They will not let you win that battle.

    As for litter type: many ferrets do great with pelleted litters, many do not. My ferrets do not like pelleted litters, and so I switched to a scoopable litter made from walnut shells and it made an absolute world of difference. Also, if you are using pelleted litters, be sure that you are completely dumping out the box and refilling it every 3-4 days. Perhaps consider trying a new litter type? Be sure to mix the old with the new 50/50 for a few days so they don't get the idea of digging in it.

    (Just a note, since there's always someone who want to try to tell me that scoopable litters are bad: they aren't. The things to avoid in litters: anything made from cedar, anything made from clay, anything that is artificially scented, and anything that contains "crystals". Natural litters made from things like wheat, corn, or walnut shells are safe (Swheat Scoop, World's Best Cat Litter, and Blue Buffalo walnut shell litters are I think the most commonly used) - they do not harden and expand like clay litters. The clumps fall apart fairly easily, and if a ferret for whatever reason decides to dive in - they are made from natural materials that aren't going to harm them.)

    That's just my 2c. Using a scoopable litter, a cat sized box, and keeping the litter boxes in covered places works for me. I legitimately cannot remember the last time my ferrets missed the box.

Definitive research that moisturizing your skin in general will have an effect on deep skin tears such as stretch marks has not been discovered as of yet. That's the scientific consensus as far as I've been able to find.

At the same time, it is also true that keeping your skin moisturized and healthy as much possible is the best way to let it heal and stay tight and flexible. To that end I drink lots of water for internal moisture and use the best possible moisturizer on the outside. My anecdotal evidence is that I see a difference in a short time period using coconut oil. It is a healthy, natural way to keep my skin feeling amazing. I would use it even if I didn't have stretch marks.

It's best to use organic virgin non-refined coconut oil that can easily be found online.

Lately I've been using the commonly recommended Bentonite clay + Apple Cider Vinegar mask. I've been using it every other day for a week and it has surprisingly dimished my sebaceous filaments and also helped zap a few stubborn pimples I had. It has also really brightened up my skin's general look and evened out my skin tone quite a bit.

I tried this mask a few times a while back, but I think my clay:vinegar ratio was too heavy on the clay end, and it irritated my skin. Now I've been using a lot more vinegar and mixing it to a fairly thin consistency (almost pudding-like), and then layering it until it's thick and opaque. I leave it on only until it begins to crack a bit, and not until it completely dries. I rinse it off in the shower and gently break up the softened clay by using circular motions with my fingers. I used to attempt to remove it with a washcloth but that just added to the irritation.

Depending on your tolerance you might be able to use this mask daily if you leave it on for a short time (10 minutes max) and are gentle with your removal.

On the note of slowing down aging, be sure to use a daily sunscreen with a 30+ SPF. That's your best bet of reducing skin damage and wrinkles long-term.

beda bro ku. secara texture table salt fine banget dan jadinya gampang larut. kalo kosher dan sea salt, biasanya lebih coarse. lebih besar2. kl dari flavour memang perbedaannya subtle banget sih, tp harus coba biar tau. nah kalo mau incorporate keduanya, bisa aja. biasanya untuk seasoning di awal pake table salt, lightly aja, terus nanti pas udh selesai masak sebelum di serve, di tabur lagi, bisa ngasih texture crunchy jg.

​

>Ada recommended savory/salty/fried food to try making?

ada, ini gampang bgt dan lumayan cepet.

(gue agak cringe nama namain makanan gini, cuma ya gue coba describe aja yak. mudah mudahan ga bingung)

​

Pan seared boneless chicken thigh, with garlic, rosemary, and lemon.

​

Ingredients:

  • Paha Ayam tanpa tulang yang masih ada kulitnya. (kenapa ga dada ayam? paha ayam lebih banyak fat content nya. lebih juicy. dada lebih banyak protein nya, lebih gampang keras)
  • Lemon 1/2, peres ke air 1/4 gelas.
  • bawang putih 4 siung, cingang/ geprek
  • bawang bombay 1/2, cincang.
  • Dried Rosemary
  • Salt (any kind)
  • Black pepper (di grind dulu, atau beli yang bubuk)
  • (optional) bubuk cabe rawit/ Cayenne Pepper Powder.
  • Olive oil/Vegetable Oil (i use soy)
  • Butter

    ​

    Pastiin daging ayam mentah harus punya plate nya sendiri. yang lain di taro di cutting board/ satu piring gapapa. biar ga terkontaminasi salmonella.

    ​

    Preparation:

  1. siapin ayamnya, kalo beli di pasar biasanya gue cuci dikit pake air minum. jangan air mentah. terus gue pat dry pake paper towel. terutama bagian skin nya. pastiin air di permukaan ayam di lap semua.
  2. biar matengnya rata, biasanya ayamnya gue pound dikit dibagian yang ketebelan, tp ga ekstrim sampe gepeng. biar even aja tebelnya. jd gue cover pake plastik, terus gue ratain pake meat tenderizer. kalo nggak ada bisa pake ulekan. tp ini optional. ga juga gapapa.
  3. lo lumurin ayamnya pake garem, black pepper, sama rosemary. garemnya kira kira max. satu sendok teh. black pepper sama rosemarynya kira kira satu sendok teh juga.

    ​

    Cooking:

  4. panasin wajan, kasih minyak secukupnya, kayak dua sendok makan gitu lah. tergantung ukuran si paha ayam segimana. tunggu sampe mulai keliatan agak berasep.
  5. ayam ada dua sisi, bagian atas yang ada kulit, sama bagian bawah yang ga ada kulitnya. taro ayam bagian kulit dulu, terus diemin jangan di bolak balik selama sekitar 5-7 menitan. apinya kecil/ sedeng aja biar ga gosong. ini tujuannya biar kulitnya bisa kering.
  6. selagi nunggu si kulitnya crisp, gue biasanya tabur bubuk cabe dikit di bagian ayam yang ga ada kulitnya.
  7. kalo dagingnya udh keliatan mulai agak putih di bawah, gue masukin bawang putihnya. gue taro di sekitar ayamnya. ini biar minyaknya di infuse sm bawang.
  8. kalo bawangnya udh agak kecoklatan dan wangi, lo pencet2 kayak di peres gitu, terus angkat dr wajan. habis itu sisa minyak bawang tadi gue sendokin terus gue tuang ke ayamnya.
  9. setelah 5-7 menit, harusnya si kulit udh bisa bisa lepas dan kering. balik ayamnya. tunggu sekitar 2 menitan atau coba lo teken aja, misalnya udh agak firm. itu harusnya udh mau mateng. lo angkat dari wajan, taro piring. terus diemin sebentar. kalo mau bisa tabur garem lagi diatas kulitnya. udah jadi deh ayamnya!

    ​

    nah di wajan nya kan ada sisa sisa yang tadi. minyak, kulit2 ayam yang nempel, dsb. itu bisa dipake.

    masih di wajan yang tadi,

  10. masukin bawang bombay cincang yang udh disiapin, tumis sampe agak layu dan translucent.
  11. tuang air lemon ke wajan sedikit2 sambil terus numis, terus naikin panasnya pelan2 sambil lo scrape si bagian2 yang kering dan nempel di wajan td.
  12. kalo udh semua air lemon ketuang, sambil terus di aduk, masukin butter satu sendok makan.
  13. kalo mau bisa tabur dried rosemary lagi.
  14. tumis sampe dia mengental/ reduced sampe setengah. cobain. kl kurang manis/ asin bisa tambah garam atau gula merah(atau madu) sedikit. jadi deh saus!

    ​

    nah carb nya bebas, bisa pake ubi, kentang, nasi, roti, pasta.

    kl kentang atau ubi biasanya gue kupas, rebus biar starch nya ilang, gue angkat terus gue tumis tumis pake bawang putih, garem, sama dried oregano. udah gitu aja.

    (biasanya kentang sama ubi gue campur, biar balance ada manisnya)

    ​

    sayurnya bisa pake salad. jadi selada/ lettuce fresh, diaduk pake vinaigrette.

    resep vinaigrette:

    Ingredients:

  • 2 siung garlic, cincang
  • 1 sendok makan Dijon mustard (penting sebagai emulsifier, biar bahan2 nya bisa kecampur)
  • 1/4 gelas apple cider vinegar, (ini keras bgt, boleh dicampur air)
  • 1/2 lemon, di peres.1-2 sendok makan madu,
  • 1/3 gelas olive oil
  • garem sama black pepper, secukupnya

    Directions:

    campur di satu toples/jar/ botol. kocok2. diemin 30 menitan. jadi deh. udahnya kuat di taro kulkas kayak.. 1 bulan- 2 bulanan lah.

    ​

    met nyobain! kl bingung you can PM me.

Here you go. EDIT: Since I explained it wrong, here's my original source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cooking/comments/27tygi/whats_the_closest_i_can_get_to_cinemastyle/ci4cldp/

Found a previous comment about this and used the guy's amazon links and replicated movie popcorn at home...

Popcorn Maker
https://www.amazon.com/Great-Northern-Popcorn-Original-Popper/dp/B005T3P6PM/

Popcorn Oil - Coconut variety (don't worry it doesn't taste coconutty)
https://www.amazon.com/Paragon-Coconut-Popcorn-Popping-Gallon/dp/B002YLI9E2

Popcorn Salt
https://www.amazon.com/Gold-Medal-Prod-Flavacol-Seasoning/dp/B004W8LT10

This setup will last you forever, you'll get sick of popcorn before you get through any of these. You do need to season the popper, just follow the directions. Its a metal pot after all.

My personal was to store the oil in my pantry so it was cool and dark. I had to icecream scoop a giant dollop of it into a cup and microwaved it to be liquid. Then you pop the popcorn like usual.

Then I would empty the popcorn into a giant bowl. I would stir it around and use the popcorn salt for about half the time, and then used finely ground Walmart type popcorn table salt.

u/Peralton · 2 pointsr/videos

This is what I got:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002YLI9E2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

At 1/4 cup per batch, it's going to last me a while, but probably not as long as the Flavacol which will last me over 200 batches if I stick to 3/4 teaspoon.


u/saltbutt · 2 pointsr/beauty

This is what I use, and it's really popular for it's price/quality.

Here is just one example of many threads on the subject. Additionally, you could type in "coconut oil hair" on YouTube and find videos. There is a ton of info out there on it.

You don't have to drench your hair, but yeah, cover it all enough so that you can feel the oil is evenly distributed. Some people do this dry, but I find starting with damp hair helps to spread it out when I comb.

u/coffeecake · 2 pointsr/TwoXChromosomes

Like this? I hadn't heard about coconut oil or anything of that nature until this thread so I want to make sure I'm actually getting the right stuff. Is there a specific type you'd recommend?

u/Capitan_Amazing · 2 pointsr/blackladies

Once out the shower I put on more Cocoa butter than seems rational, after that I might put add a bit of Vaseline if it's going to be an especially dry day.

My sister had the same problem as you and now she swears by baby lotion and Vaseline right out the shower. She also uses this stuff for her hair.

u/TheKittenButcher · 2 pointsr/FancyFollicles

Yep, I use this stuff. Apparently, unrefined is best.

u/hermeslyre · 2 pointsr/mildlyinteresting

I tried real butter just the other day on my popcorn and still felt it was missing something. Some people search out that movie theater taste and prefer it to real ingredients.

For those people, beta carotene colored coconut oil, Flavacol salt, and butter topping is all it is. Flavacol has the added benefit of being super finely milled salt, it doesn't have the problem sticking to popcorn like normal salt does.

u/Cecilia5026 · 2 pointsr/RandomActsofMakeup

Darn it, you beat me to it. Coconut oil is the best. The best deal I have found on it is this from somebody in another sub. I use it for a million other things, too!

u/GUSHandGO · 2 pointsr/answers

I have a theater style popcorn and this is what I use:

You want to get this type of coconut oil and Flavocol.

For every 1/2 cup of corn you pop, use 2 tablespoons of oil and about 1/2 teaspoon of Flavocol. The type of popcorn you use really doesn't matter.

u/DooDooDoodle · 2 pointsr/The_Donald

I was confusing the oil they use to pop the corn with the flavoring.

The oil used to pop it is similar to this: Snappy Popcorn Colored Coconut Oil "Coconut oil is the product many movie theaters use to pop popcorn and it gives the popcorn a great buttery flavor. Colored with beta carotene."

https://www.amazon.com/Snappy-Popcorn-Colored-Coconut-Gallon/dp/B003C4UDEY/ref=pd_sim_325_6

The butter stuff is Snappy Popcorn 1 Gallon Butter Burst Buttery Oil which contains Soybean Oil, Artificial Butter Flavor, TBHQ, and Citric Acid, Beta Carotene.

https://www.amazon.com/Snappy-Popcorn-Gallon-Butter-Buttery/dp/B003U4M4ZC/ref=pd_sim_325_5

u/yddeyma · 2 pointsr/financialindependence

I can make popcorn that tastes just like the movie theater stuff. The main secret is just to use what the theaters use. I know, not very amazing, but it works!

First, use popcorn colored coconut oil like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003C4UDEY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You want to use just enough to coat the bottom of your pan and half way up the popcorn kernels (amount depends on how big the pot is and how much popcorn you put in. For me its a couple of tablespoons. I just eyeball it.

Before you put the kernels in, put in 1/2 to 3/4 tsp of Flavcol: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004W8LT10/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1 Nothing else really works. Its got to be this brand. It is super-fine flavored salt and it is yummy. I use 3/4 of a tsp but that is too salty for most people.


If I am really lazy, I make home made microwave popcorn, too. I just put some kernels and oil and the salt in a bag, shake it up and staple it. Pop in the microwave. The staples do not seem to hurt the microwave.

u/HeavyTZM · 2 pointsr/Paleo

I use to order mine from amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Nutiva-Organic-Coconut-54-Ounce-Containers/dp/B003QDRJXY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1343706010&sr=8-4&keywords=coconut+oil

It's a good deal if you subscribe and save.

1 tablespoon is 130 calories. I would start off with one tablespoon a day for a week. Eat it when you normally feel sluggish. It will not hurt you to eat more, some people eat 3 or more tablespoons a day. But I think I've read if you eat high doses at the beginning it may lead to having-to-poo-to-much syndrome.

The point is, if you want to sustain lo-carb and not have the keto-flu, MCTs are your best option. Eventually your body will get out of the flu and you won't have to rely on MCTs for energy, your body will be able to use fats and protein effeciently for energy. But you may not want to stop eating coconut oil because it's awesome.

If your not in the US, Iherb.com has good prices on it with good shipping.

u/AlaskanWolf · 2 pointsr/AdviceAnimals

If you're still having problems with your eczema, try fucktons of coconut oil, along with regular amounts of your prescribed medication. I live in bone-dry Fairbanks, Alaska and it helps a lot. Don't get me wrong, I still have to vacuum my bed every day, but it's not as bad as it could be.

Twice a day over your entire body, once after you step out of the shower. Plus, you smell like coconut all day. Pretty sweet.

The stuff I buy every month or so: http://www.amazon.com/Nutiva-Organic-Coconut-54-Ounce-Containers/dp/B003QDRJXY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1383263333&sr=8-4&keywords=coconut+oil

you should be good. the vg you use is usp grade which is the same that eliquid manufacturers use. if you want to use different vg i highly recommend essential depot vg. I use it for my diy eliquid & it is great

u/ReverendSaintJay · 2 pointsr/electronic_cigarette

Wherever you go you should be looking for USP Food Grade VG (which also might be labeled as Kosher), conveniently sold by Amazon if you don't like leaving the house and/or wandering aisles.

u/Reinheitsgebot43 · 2 pointsr/Homebrewing

I’ve been freezing yeast for a couple years. The process in that link is a lot more complicated then it needs to be.

I use a variation of this process.

  1. Build a 2L starter like normal.
  2. Once Fermentation is complete cold crash and decant.
  3. Fill 3/4 of a preform, lightly screw on the cap and place in the fridge.
  4. Revisit the next day and decant till you have 1/2 filled with compacted yeast.
  5. Top off with 1/2 Beer, 1/2 food grade glycerin.
  6. Screw on lid, label, shake and place in freezer.

    Tips
    You’ll want to be as sanitary as possible.
    I can reliably fill 4 soda preforms.
    I’d recommend one have a different color cap to let you know you’re almost out of that particular yeast strain.
    I keep the beer/glycerin mixture in a mason jar and bring it to a boil from time to time since you won’t use as much of it as you’d expect.
    Save used preforms to re-use.
    Only do this for yeast you’ll use or have a hard time getting ahold of. You’re not saving money by saving yeast you’ll never use.
    If I plan on reusing yeast within 6 months I’ll wash the yeast and place in a mason jar.
    In my experience it takes the yeast a day or two longer to wake up once pitched into a starter. Make sure you build that time into your brew schedule.
u/To0nMaN · 2 pointsr/electronic_cigarette

u/iKrunk · 2 pointsr/electronic_cigarette

I have been getting my PG and VG from Amazon. Its cheap and if you have prime it gets there super fast.

I use the essential depot VG, and PG. I get them quarts at a time for like 11-13 bucks apiece and that shit lasts a long time. You will go through more VG than PG usually.

I used to get my nicotine from wizard labs but I recently started using nude nicotine, I recommend it. In the DIY sub youll see a shit ton of vendors and a bunch of brands people swear by. Thats the part that can be overwhelming.

you can get bottles so many fucking places, if you just want a few amazon will do you right, wizard labs has em. Lately I have been just getting them from fasttech cause they are decent bottles (plastic) and they are cheap as fuck. when searching for bottles a good tip to have is 1/2oz bottles are 15mls and 1oz bottles are 30mls,

https://www.onestopdiyshop.com/ is a pretty awesome place.
http://wholesale.heartlandvapes.com/ is nice too.

For just starting you dont need much, PG, VG, NIc, Bottles, Flavors, Get a couple of 1ml and 3ml Syringes, and some 14g needle tips for VG based shit, and 18G tips for PG based shit.

My mixes are mostly VG, so I get my nicotine in VG Carrier base. I think I have pretty much covered most beginner info. I hope you decide to check it out its pretty rewarding and fucking fun.

Come hang out, Lurk about or whatever


I forgot you will also want to use a ejuice calculator, I use the POTV ejuice calculator on my phone it works well and its free. Its in the Android and iOs store. Peace!

u/station_nine · 2 pointsr/electronic_cigarette

What nicotine concentration are you looking to buy?

If you want to make a 3mg/ml juice, at 75/25 ratio, you could buy

  • this bottle of nicotine ($16 shipped)
  • and this jug of VG ($13),

    Find a clean 1L container, pour the entire contents of the first bottle in, then top off with the VG. Boom. 1 liter of 3mg unflavored juice, at 75/25. Minimal measuring or screwing around needed. You do need to shake it very very well though.

    1 L of juice for $30. That’s $3 per 100ml and is actually still kinda expensive.

u/sevar · 2 pointsr/DIY_eJuice

Buy USP grade. That's 99.7% purity and is about the best you can get, even ACS (american chemical society) grade, which is the highest possible purity grade for reagents, only asks for 99.7% or higher purity so you don't have to buy this:
http://www.fishersci.com/ecomm/servlet/fsproductdetail_10652_627381__-1_0

you can just buy this instead:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004C7MTLA/

Same for PG, use USP, not food grade. Food grade is just whatever passes the GRAS (generally recognized as safe) for oral consumption grade, which doesn't put a bar on the purity, really.

u/ID10-T · 2 pointsr/DIY_eJuice

If you have Amazon Prime free shipping, and maybe even if you don't, Essential Depot is a great source of PG and VG.

As /u/EdibleMalfuntion already pointed out, Carolina Xtracts is the place for top-quality nicotine base with no worries about peppery taste or anything like that, but if it is too pricey for you, look at other sources. VapersTek is one that comes to mind as being highly recommended. Nude Nicotine used to be, and still is by some, but they have had some pretty serious customer service and quality control issues lately.

u/MadddBlade · 2 pointsr/DIY_eJuice

Hey dude! I purchased a starter kit when I started making E-juice, and while it was helpful I quickly realized that I could of gotten more for less had I known what I needed. It is a lot cheaper to just buy the products individually since you will also be getting a larger amount too. Here are some links and in my opinion this is the cheapest way for someone to start DIY:


VG- https://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/dp/B004C7MTLA/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1480546689&sr=8-2&keywords=vegetable+glycerine

Nicotine- https://www.nudenicotine.com/products-page/unflavored-nicotine-base/

And as for bottles it is all up to you I personally buy mine from http://wholesale.heartlandvapes.com/eliquid-bottles/plastic-eliquid-bottles.html

*Lastly all you need is flavorings, I think it would be best for you to search around and find what you like, I personally prefer http://gremlindiy.com/ and http://www.bullcityflavors.com/ . Hope this helped!

When mixing everything together. What do you all do to pour and measure the vegetable glycerin? I bought this from Amazon and it's thick. Should I keep it at room temperature?

As far as VG, check out Amazon. This is a good deal http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004C7MTLA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1418647359&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40

u/a_little_obscene · 2 pointsr/DIY_eJuice

I haven't been mixing that long and I'm not really happy with anything I make. I am wondering now if its the VG I got, it has a distinct rubber after taste to me. I got it off amazon here : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004C7MTLA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Do you think its the VG or am I just doing it wrong? Note : I usually mix at high vg, normally 80/20 VG/PG.

Edit : My PG came from amazon as well but I tried vaping 100% VG and its definitely a taste in the VG

u/abdada · 2 pointsr/DIY_eJuice

Have you ever had any issues with their VG? I know 2 different people who have (one who got a bad cough from it, and another person who received a bottle that wasn't sealed well at all and appeared old).

While Amazon reviews of their VG are generally 5-star, there's are a couple of 1-2 star reviews on there speaking of the harshness and the possibility of old stock.

I've never tried it myself so I can't vouch either way.

u/Hopkins3030 · 2 pointsr/electronic_cigarette

Are you looking for unflavored nic juice or just straight VG or PG?

For unflavored nic juice, Wizard Labs has some pretty good pricing when they actually have it in stock (they also carry literally tons of flavors).

As for straight VG or PG (for DIY flavor mixing) Essential Depot on Amazon has Kosher grade VG and PG.

u/AStarkLay · 1 pointr/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

Coconut oil! Organic extra virgin coconut oil! (oh yeah, that's a tub.) This stuff is safe enough for women to use inside their vaginas, so definitely safe for a sensitive dick. And it warms near immediately to body temperature and is soooooo smooth.

Edit: also, tastes like coconut, so.... great for oral! ;)

u/ShaktiAmarantha · 1 pointr/sexover30

Based on this and the things you've said in response to other comments, I'm getting a better feel for your wife's situation, and I don't think this is necessarily a true loss of libido situation.

FWIW, my own hunch is that most true cases of libido loss that don't have other medical causes are really cases of low-level chronic depression, or what the shrinks call "dysthemia," which comes with a general loss of the ability to feel pleasure from much of anything.

I went through this and I felt dead, no pleasure at all from things that normally felt good. When someone is in that kind of trap, the dysthemia needs to be treated before there's any hope of getting back to the point where sex is enjoyable. In fact, I think that's why CBT works so well as a treatment for low libido – it's very effective at treating mild depression without hitting people with meds that further reduce libido.

But the picture you have drawn is very different. Your wife is high cuddle, she's orgasmic, and after a good session in bed she's surprising herself by how much she has enjoyed it. She's not numb at all, she just has the brakes on almost all of the time and has a hard time shutting them off.

My read from this is that your wife's libido issue is mainly "just" baby stress and lack of time. It hits women with responsive desire especially hard because they have to shift gears and get aroused from a cold start, and there's usually not enough time without distractions.

If I'm right, then you mainly need to fix your circumstances. And that starts with coping with stress. One of the best ways is to learn to meditate and actually DO it for at least 10 minutes every day. Also do whatever you have to do so both of you get more sleep, more exercise, and more time in green spaces.

But the other essential piece of the puzzle is making time for yourselves without the kids in the house, preferably at least once a week. Sign up for a "Parents Night Out" evening daycare program, or the Saturday morning or afternoon version of the same thing. Google it. Many YMCAs, churches, temples, and synagogues do this one night or day a week, and it can cost as little as $20-30 in some areas. Or find a single mom or another couple with kids the same ages as yours and propose a swap: maybe they take your kids one evening or you take theirs the next morning, or vice versa.

Then when you do get the kids out of the house, pamper her or get her to pamper herself. Make it a mini-spa at the start, with a glass of wine and a long bubble bath, or whatever helps her relax and forget about the stress she's carrying. (Maybe she can get a head start on this while you drop off the kids.) But take it from another LL/RD: it's a LOT easier to get in the mood for sex if you've had an interval to relax first and you're already mellowed out!

> just having these conversations, particularly if they're framed as "why don't you want sex anymore?" is a form of pressuring her to have sex

Yup. It's so easy for it to come across as "You're broken and I'm trying to fix you so I'll get better sex." And I don't think more talk is what you need. I think instead of discussions you need to focus on actions that will actually change your circumstances.

Here's one simple option to think about in addition to the things I already mentioned (paraphrasing something a friend wrote yesterday):

  • Get a good, inexpensive folding massage table, some coconut oil, and at least two nice big soft towels (if you don't already have some).

  • Get a good book on sensual or erotic massage.

  • Start practicing on each other. It feels wonderful and it can be a huge education about your partner's body and how to give her maximum pleasure.

    If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't discuss any of this with her until the table arrives. Make it something you did on impulse because you wanted to give her a treat, and then offer to give her a massage. Do NOT tie it to any kind of sex afterward! That will come eventually if you get her feeling more relaxed and open to sensual pleasure. Just make it a standing offer of free massages with no strings attached whenever she wants one.

    Have fun!

I got rid of my dandruff and flaky spots on my nose and eyebrows when I started taking Omega 3-6-9 oil such as Udo's oil. Try it and I bet you'll see difference in 10 days.

You can also try to rub coconut oil into your scalp, beard and face. It has anti-fungal and moisturizing properties. Leave the oil on your skin for an hour or so and then take a hot shower and rub your face with a washcloth while in the shower to remove the coconut oil from your pores.

All you need to make cider vinegar is cider that's done fermenting and some "vinegar mother". You can easily get that by getting your hands on some vinegar with live mother: Bragg Cider Vinegar. Just introduce a small portion of the raw vinegar to your newly boozed up juice and let it go for a month or two.

Also, don't do this near your other fermentations... unless you really like vinegar.

How to make delicious homemade home-style popcorn:

  • Pour oil (peanut, canola, or vegetable) in a pot about 1/8" deep and crank the heat
  • Pour popcorn kernels in until covering the bottom of the pot (but not piled on top of each other)
  • Place lid on pot slightly ajar to allow steam to escape
  • If popcorn is getting too high in your pot, remove the lid and place in your sink (you do not want your popcorn touching the watery condensation from the steam) and allow popcorn to spill over if need be
  • Turn off heat as soon as the popping slows/stops and pour popcorn into large bowl
  • Melt butter (as little or as much as you want) in the still hot pan (pro-tip: use the butter knife to cut the chunk in half again and again to speed melting
  • When butter is bubbling it is ready.
  • Pour half of the butter over your popcorn. Add regular table salt. Gently stir popcorn with butter knife. Pour remaining half of butter and add salt, stir again.


    How to make delicious theater-style popcorn at home:

  • Pour popcorn popping oil (either butter-flavored oil or coconut oil in a pot about 1/4" deep and crank the heat
  • Pour popcorn kernels in until covering the bottom of the pot (but not piled on top of each other)
  • Add a coating of Flavacol butter-flavored salt into the pot (careful, you can add more later if not salty enough)
  • Place lid on pot slightly ajar to allow steam to escape
  • If popcorn is getting too high in your pot, remove the lid and place in your sink (you do not want your popcorn touching the watery condensation from the steam) and allow popcorn to spill over if need be
  • Turn off heat as soon as the popping slows/stops and pour popcorn into large bowl
  • For topping you can use butter (as descibed above, but push the pat of butter around the bottom to pot to gather up the flavacol salt left behind) or you can use the popping oil as a topping, or a combination of both. I prefer the butter, although the oil by itself or the combination is probably closer to what the theaters use.
u/QuestioningEspecialy · 1 pointr/bestof

I'll add to this, especially for the Afro-Americans out there.

 

Shavers...

 

After all of the cordless electric shavers I've used over the years, my Remington F5-5800 Foil Shaver gives me the smoothness shave I've ever had without using an actual razor. I finish off by edging up and trimming with a [Philips Norelco G370] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FED5DU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_F702AbWT46ATE) (it was <$100 and it's probably outdated by now) I've used it for ~4-7 years and dropped it a few times. It leaves the skin a bit rough, though, but I've rarely ever nicked myself with it (if at all).

 

Instructions & Maintenance...

 

Read the instructions and follow proper maintenance (brush, clean, oil, etc.). Always.
And for the record, both of my shavers are easy to clean. The Remington requires more effort, especially once a month, but the Phillips only requires a quick brushing (I add Andis Clippers Clipper Oil). The "hardest" part is letting the Remington dry for so long before putting the head back on. Don't brush the clippers while it's on, btw. Seriously, you'll ruin the brush and end up needing to replace it.

 

Battery Life...

 

If the instructions say to let the battery die before its first charge, I do so. If it says to fully charge it for X hours before its first use, I do so. Now, people of Reddit had a particular conversation about battery life once. I never looked into the matter myself, but I started practicing it with all of my chargeable devices. After the initial required drain (if instructed), I always charge it after it hits 30-50%. I do my best to never let it drain completely to 0%. The idea is that the battery will actually degrade much quicker if it drains to 0% and will need to be replaced sooner. Feel free to call me a fool on this one, but please explain your reasoning.

 

Razers & Magic Shave...

 

This one requires a story or warning.
I wet shaved with my brother's razor when I was in high school because my cordless one (probably a Phillips) wouldn't work properly when I put it back together after taking the top apart for a full-ish cleaning for the first and last time (the school started reinforcing its facial hair policy).

Though it was my first time, and I shaved against the grain, I didn't cut myself or apply anything to my skin before or after. My face was so smooth that I kept touching it. Three days later, I start noticing bumps. By the fifth day, I had full on razor bumps everywhere I originally shaved. Bump Stopper II took a month or so to really any progress and around three months to really make an impact, but it left my skin dry and very flaky. Eventually, I moved to Skin Tight Razor Bump Ointment Extra Strength. It burned like hell in the beginning, but showed better progress. That and washing my face daily with soap and a towel of course.

Since I still had to shave, I just went over the bumps with a shaver and routinely wiped the blood away. Due to a barber's suggestion, I started using Bump Fighter Razors. He warned me that they were going to miss some hairs, but it worked well enough.

At some point, I was recommended (powder blue) Magic Shave because it would "eat those bumps up" (oh, boy). This stuff stinks, flakes all over the place, and can tear up your skin if you aren't careful. I tore a descent sized section of my skin off when I dragged a wet towel down my chin at the wrong angle once. I could see the skin sitting intact in the towel with the inner-end of my hairs barely sticking out of it. Was a really weird moment. That section of my face was pink and hairless for awhile before it healed over. Looked funny on my lovely complexion. For the record, I only used it every three or four days. Three is the minimum, IIRC.

If you're going to use Magic Shave, use a wet towel to wipe it off (prepare to rinse repeatedly), designate a magic shave cup that is to be used for nothing else, consider only wearing boxers, bring a broom and dust pan, and stay in one room or outside. Hell, turn the vent on, you stinky mutt. Overall, I do not recommend Magic Shave's original formula (powder blue). I cannot speak for its powder gold fragrant or creme light fresh scent version, though.

Now for razers...
I started using the cheap pack of (dark blue) Gillette dual-blade razers from Walmart in high school. They worked very well. Here are my instructions: Shave with the grain, rinse the blades after every stroke, thoroughly rinse the blades after you're done, wipe them carefully with a toilet paper to get extra crud off, and let air dry somewhere. Hell, thanks to another Reddit conversation, I kept a short round plastic container of isopropyl alcohol around in college to "shake" the razer in as a finishing touch of cleanliness. Supposedly, the alcohol evaporates after awhile, so I just let it air dry after that (read the 4/24/18 edit at the bottom). The blades lasted a pretty long time doing all of this before I need to pull out a new razor. That combined with how cheap they were...

 

Razer Bumps / Ingrown Hairs...

 

I found that daily shaving, Skin Tight creme, and actually washing or just wiping my face with a clean damp paper towel kept the bumps from fully returning. A trick I discovered to get rid of the ones that lingered was to grow my facial hair out. It looked awful for a month since the bumps returned as the hair grew (they might have been curling into the skin), but there's a point where the bumps start to recede into the skin and all you have is a full beard (minus some areas of the lower neck). Now just maintain it or shave it off. What you'll find is a smooth face with practically no bumps. You must keep the hairs from growing back, though (and maybe wash your face?). Mess that up, and the lingering bumps will return.

Oh, to hell with Bump Stopper II and don't bother with Skin Tight. My physician recommended Tend Skin Solution after I graduated college, and, let me tell you, it works better than both. I hear the ingredients aren't that bad for your health either.

 

My Routine...

 

I wash my hair (including facial) with Bubble & Bee's hard water shampoo (the price is worth it, especially since it lasts for a surprisingly long time), pour on and rub in their vinegar rinse ratio (a fourth of the bottle tops; it's optional when you purchase the shampoo), wash that out, apply Nature's Way Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil to my facial and scalp hair while still damp/wet (I'm not 100% certain about using it on the scalp yet; used to use AVEDA Dry Remedy Daily Moisturizing Oil twice or thrice a week), brush my facial hair (soft bristles for the cheeks and neck; medium bristles for the beard and moustache) once in the morning, and apply Tend Skin Solution twice a day with cotton balls.

I should be using the foil shaver daily, but I don't always. Hence why I brush my cheeks and neck.

 

In closing...

 

If you're close to (or cool with) any Afro-American males, especially ones who've just started growing facial hair, consider having them read this so they can learn from my mistakes. Those razor bumps were rather unsightly.

 

tl;dr: Use Tend Skin Solution for razor bumps, wash your face, follow instructions, foil shavers leave smoother skin, read the section on battery life, don't shave against the grain with a razor, and don't use magic shave or bump stopper II.

 

EDIT (4/24/18):
About my shaving cleanup steps. I later realized that letting the isopropyl alcohol dry on the razer caused the blades to dull quicker, so I started rinsing them off and wiping them with toilet paper a second time as the final step.

u/dreamingofjellyfish · 1 pointr/AskWomen

Not very greasy since it's so light. But it can take a little while to absorb, like any oil. It doesn't cause me to break out, but that's pretty individual.

I buy whatever brand's cheapest. I've definitely bought this before. I just look for something with minimal processing (extra virgin or virgin) and no ingredients other than coconut oil.

u/Smooth_Move · 1 pointr/keto

Coconut Oil. Cook with it or sprinkle a little over your food. Don't eat spoonfuls of it on day one or you might get the runs.

Well, as I wrote, there are some kinds that taste good (once the acquisition o' de taste is in effect yo) and the other that is just mildly singed grease. (not bad and not de best)
If you don't find a brand/type you like that way you can always flavor as the cashews (though those are high in carbs) post ahead of this mentioned.
your link wasn't specific enough - do you work for nutiva? 'cause it brought me to the homepage. It's cool, I dont' go on Reddit very often because of all the trolls and mean people but suffice it to write is that my experience is that if you find a tasty one like this http://www.amazon.com/Natures-Way-Organic-Coconut-Ounce/dp/B003B3OOPA
and you aren't a pussy, you can have spoonfuls as a supplementation quick and easy. I hate grease and dairy in my coffee and that is the only reason I'm saying once your palette can handle it, it's best to have the option in the morning or whenever.
Buy one brand for cooking, buy one brand for supplementation, and figure out which brand is best for sexy time. I won't be back so good luck.

I hope you will try a kale smoothie!! They are hella nutritious. Here is my jam: buy a head of kale at the store (purple is the bomb), take it home, cut off the stems, wash it, dry it, chop it up, and put it in a big Ziploc bag. Then i stash it in the freezer, so it stays good and never goes bad or wilts. I keep an old protein powder scoop (1/4 cup) in the Ziploc, and throw 2 scoops in my morning smoothie. You can use any protein powder you like; i use Jay Robb whey or egg white powder. I also put some grass-fed unflavored gelatin because a lot of the keto/paleo sites recommended it. I also add a few (about 1/8 cup) of frozen blueberries to help the flavor.

Make sure you leave enough space in the jar for it to blend properly. My Ninja individual jar has a "max fill" line which is helpful. blend the shit out of it or else you'll get the "liquid salad" effect. I will add some Kerrygold butter, or olive oil, or coconut oil to the shake if I need more fat that day.

I used a Magic Bullet blender for a long time, then I upgraded to a Ninja, which is what I use now. Someday i want to get a Blendtec or a Vitamixer, but I don't have six hundo to throw down on a fucking blender.

I buy the Nature's Way brand of coconut oil, to me it tastes pretty coconutty. I tried to get my dad to eat some, because MCTs help with memory in addition to all the other amazing things they do, but the stubborn old man won't eat it because he is convinced it will make him fat. That shit is like catnip to me, I love it. I love all the other great "fat bomb" recipes folks post on here. Good luck!!

I have thin-stranded, quite fine hair, but a LOT of it. It's fairly delicate but can seem to take lots of abuse lol

I did co-wash for about 6 months using Tresemme Naturals, but it just didn't do great things for my hair, it was dull and dry and kind of sad. I went back to using regular shampoo and conditioner, I use Fructis Triple Nutrition and I love it.

Here is the protein mask, available at Sallys.

Here is an example of coconut oil, brand doesn't matter, as long as it's virgin, cold pressed oil. You can find it at the grocery store in with oils, it's solid and white at room temp, but melts in your hands, it's also completely edible. A hair product with coconut oil in it is NOT a good substitute! Apply 3" away from roots, conditioner by itself gets it out just fine.

  2. use Flavacol salt added to the oil before popping

    There is special coconut oil but I just use plain the special stuff is just colored.

    I use a fancy schmancy popcorn popper that lets the steam out but you should get excellent results following this advice (but still add the Flavacol to the oil with the kernels)

Thank you! It's a Westbend 4Qt Air Popper. Bought it off of Amazon and then did a little homework and found some great coconut oil and butter salt used by many commercial theaters to make my popcorn taste and smell EXACTLY like the stuff in the theater!

hmmm okay. that texture stuff is kinda hard to gauge without knowing what your climate is like but I'm pretty sure I've got the right stuff. Its about 66 F where I store my oil and it is harder than cream cheese from the fridge. Still smells super coconutty and gives be a belly ache like pure mct if I eat a ton of it. I had some stuff with actual fibers in it once that was ridiculously nice.

Little more expensive than what you picked out but it shouldnt be too different

You may need to add a little pg or distilled water to thin the vg. Pure vg can have trouble wicking because its abit thicker than juice

u/loligogiganticus · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

Not sure what link you're wanting, so I'll post a few - better to have too much info than not enough!

This is the VG that I buy on Amazon. I use this for my sugar scrubs as well!

This is the Halo Shamrock e-juice (Belgian Cocoa & Malibu are nice, too). I get a lot of other e-juices from a local vape shop that has a tasting bar. The shop I frequent has their own house blend that tastes exactly like a Hi-C Ecto Cooler!

This is the kit I use - it's an iTaste with variable voltage and variable wattage.

u/Jack_Shid · 1 pointr/electronic_cigarette

I bought some of this at Walmart once, but it tasted a little funny to me, almost perfumey. I get the quart bottles from Amazon and they have a very faint sweet taste, but otherwise taste very clean.

u/ilikevapor · 1 pointr/electronic_cigarette

add some VG (vegetable glycerine) if you like a less harsh vape, or PG (propylene glycol) if you like a more harsh vape. VG is usually a better bet though. you can get some VG HERE

u/kernozlov · 1 pointr/electronic_cigarette

You can. I prefer to buy it off Amazon though TBH.

I buy Essential Depot Vegetable Glycerin And Propylene Glcyol

No reason I just like to stick with one company.

Heres The DIY Clone list. The all loved Nana Cream is on there and Im vaping it now and its wonderful. I think enough flavoring to make like 120ml was $10???? Cant remember off the top of my head.

Some comments:

2 You are looking for an Ego Threaded Beauty Ring.

3 You can also buy MUCH better tanks like an Evod for cheap and they have replaceable coils so they are worth the investment. I personally have had better luck with something like a protank or BDC, but anything with replaceable coils will be a big step forward. Also the better build construction means less leaking.

4 PEG-400 is not really an ideal base for any ejuice. It has a bad taste and does not carry flavors very well. You would have much better luck using Vegetable Glycerin or Propylene Glycol.

About 11 bucks for a quart of VG. IS that a good deal? What about the "palm derived" tag, does that affect vaping?

u/BulldogIrish · 1 pointr/DIY_eJuice

I'm guessing you are trying to diy juice? If so the VG I buy which works as good as the other brands I've bought and lots of others use from Amazon is palm derived..

If you're going to vape like he suggested here's what to get.

For VG/PG this is food grade and what everybody uses: https://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/dp/B004C7MTLA/

Here's the scale everybody uses which goes down to .01 grams and is flawless: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005UGBG20

Sign up for http://e-liquid-recipes.com/ and then you can use the calculator to measure with grams and break down the pg/vg nic and flavors which is the tool all DIY e-juice use. Back in the day we did it by volume which was a pain in the ass and doing it by grams is a game changer.

I wouldn't bother with nic but if you do choose so nudenicotine.com offer a free sample ($3 shipping) get the 100mg pg version. If you do go into ecigs DIY section for safety. Although if you have common sense it's actually very easy and safe but go to the right section in DIY.

Get pippets: https://www.amazon.com/Teenitor-Plastic-Transfer-Pipettes-Dropper/dp/B01G82SJRY/

Get some latex gloves or something.

If you're going to add flavoring this is my favorite: http://www.bullcityflavors.com/natural-mint-wg-inw/ - or their mixed mint which is the same but menthol - Eucalyptus will clear your sinus for a year.

INW is a premium flavoring company because $2-3 dollars for flavoring is expenisve in the juice world, that's why every vapor should DIY but they get overwhelmed with all the info, but it's easy as hell. The 10ml (don't bet the 30) will last you probably your whole life. I would go either 1% or 2% using the calulator, I couldn't imagine using anything above 3% because it's so crazy concontrated.

Did I buy the wrong VG/PG? My ejuice smells and tastes like plastic, vapes OK just tastes off. Like a plastic or chemical, kinda hard to say exactly how it tastes.

I just copied a recommended dessert flavor recipe to the t and steeped it for 5 days (no light, shook vigorously twice daily).

I bought:

  • PG
  • VG
  • Various Flavor Art flavors.

    I smelled the VG and PG in the bottles they came in and didn't notice any smell at all. All the flavors smell like I'd expect them to.

    I'd assume it's just the bottle I mixed it in, but I put some juice I bought in an identical bottle and it tastes/smells fine.

And that's it! Get a big pot and put it on the stove... put the coconut oil in and let it melt. Add the flavacol salt and stir a little. Put one kernel in and wait until it pops... once it does just put all the corn in and turn it off when it stops popping every 3 seconds or so. Best popcorn around.

This might seem a little weird but screw it, I need coconut oil.

As most people in this sub already know, I cut all my hair off last month when my Dad died. I'm happy I could fulfill one of his last wishes but I went from waist length to above shoulders hair and I pine for it daily like you'd pine for a lost love.

Coconut oil is an insanely awesome deep conditioner and I'm trying anything to keep my hair healthy and growing as fast as possible.

u/MikeBackAtYou · 1 pointr/malefashionadvice

Sure thing. I scoured the web and /r/MFA looking at guides until I settled on this method:

  1. Rinse the shoes off in cool water to remove any loose debris.
  2. Using a soft-head toothbrush, thoroughly scrub the shoes with a mixture of dish soap and water.
  3. Blot the shoes dry with paper towel.
  4. Using a cloth (I used an old undershirt), apply Saddle Soap to the shoes and leather insoles. Remove any excess soap with your cloth and let the shoes sit a few minutes to dry.
  5. Using a new cloth, apply a conditioner to the shoes. I personally used coconut oil. Let sit and dry.

    Note: I linked to the products I personally used. Allen Edmonds also sells saddle soap in a much more reasonable 3 oz size. If you used too much coconut oil, you may see a white film develop. Just rub it off with your cloth. This guide was also helpful.

I love Keto Chow and JUST placed another order. One thing I've learned is that it's better to buy the smaller cartons of the heavy cream, as I don't go through it too fast (I only take one serving a day for lunch). I use this for the oil. I can find it in the grocery store.

Got it from my regular grocery store, same aisle as the olive oils. It's so awesome. Completely flavorless. I use a deeper skillet or regular pot, pour in enough to submerge a tortilla, on medium heat, then fry the tortilla wedges til they're crispy. I toss out the used oil afterwards.

As for the chia, I don't know what would work as a whole meal from those little suckers. They're like the size of a poppy seed. So short or getting a low carb baking mix from the netrition website and mixing them in like that, or like a cracker like you originally posted, I'm kinda stumped beyond using as a seasoning type thing.

I use it every time I shower. As soon as I get out of the shower and dry my face I splash a few drops on my hands. Then I rub my hands together and then massage it into my face and let it absorb in. It will rehydrate your face after you shower and keep it healthy. The antibacterial properties really help with acne. I also stopped using soaps or any chemicals in my face of any kind. These products tend to dry up and irritate the skin which leads to natural oil imbalances and acne. I literally dealt with acne for 10 years before discovering this. You can also read the reviews in the Amazon link I sent you to see how other people use it and how it's worked wonders for them too. You can probably use any brand tho as long as it's liquid. Don't use the solid kind on your face. I got mine at Walmart.

Buy avocado oil in bulk. It's a monounsaturated fat, has a super high smoking point, is flavor neutral, and as a fat, has a very high calorie content.

Yes, 43 bucks for oil seems like a lot, but it should last you a LONG time, and that price is minuscule compared to what you'd pay in your local grocery store for avocado oil (or any good oil, for that matter).

Also, if you want salmon, look into getting the frozen stuff from Aldi's.

u/kerodon · 1 pointr/soylent

Really simple solution. If the protein intake is already adequate, just add your own fats for as much extra calories as you want. 15ml = 125ish calories. Add 1-2 servings of those to each of your shakes.

Avocado oil or Heavy cream (depending on your taste/texture preferences) is the general recc. Butter is also an option if that is more to your taste. You will have to experiment. A combination of those is also something to try, like avocado + heavy cream.

Olive oil is the less expensive option.

I hear Macadamia oil and Hemp oil are good but they also have a much stronger taste and hemp is more expensive.

I can link to best prices for bulk quantities (4-7lbs) of any of the oils if you're interested. I spent a bunch of time on this building my own DIY keto soylent.

The Baja Precious gallon bottle seems to be the best, although I have not tried it. I'm using their sweet almond oil gallon though, which is really great. A little cheaper.

You can find cheaper coconut oil just remember that's literally a gallon!

I bought that one for cooking, but it's cheap enough to buy for fappy times and keep your fancy oil in the kitchen.

I love Coconut oil for my high temp stuff. It's a bit on the expensive side, but it is cheaper if you commit to buying a larger amount. The other suggestions I've seen here (Avocado oil, ghee, and lard) are all great, as well, but the neutral flavor of coconut oil tends to lend itself to more applications IMHO.

Cocoanut oil. From what I've read, healthier than most oils an actually inexpensive if you buy from the right place. Just got a big ol jug for like $16 that'll last me, what seems like, forever.

I got my protein from truenutrion.com, also I use Nutiva coconut oil: http://www.amazon.com/Nutiva-Certified-Organic-Virgin-Coconut/dp/B000GAT6NG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395776415&sr=8-1&keywords=nutiva+organic , this is by far the cheapest coconut oil I could find, on pureformulas.com its like a dollar cheaper per jar. The reason I don't want to use any liquid coconut oil is because to keep coconut oil a liquid they remove the lauric acid which would mean that I'm losing out on the benifits of the lauric acid itself while still getting caprylic acid and the capric acid.

If anyone is interested in making movie style popcorn at home these ingredients make a very close match.

So just some of this, and then I add my own water, or do they make it with water?

> VG was virtually impossible to find. Sounds like the availability of it is still likely to be an issue.

Big ol' jug of VG

Add some Palm glycerin to it until you get the mixture that works for you. I just vape 99% glycerin

This is what I use.

It seems that the mixture you are using is irritating your throat. I don't know about it causing the acid reflux, but irritation can feel similar.
