Some of you might already know this, but I'm currently working to start up a ejuice manufacturing company. It was an idea my brother had, and my dad and I ran with it. They bought a batch of flavorings and everything needed to make the juices and we started testing. I've probably been the one doing the most testing, since unlike them I don't keep regular 9-5 work hours. In the past months I've done lots of research on everything I'm working with both about how safe it is to inhale and how it tastes. Lots of trial and error, I tried to make a juice that tasted like a cherry cordial... yea that ended up tasting like a nasty cherry nyquil haha.
I get to do all this work at my home desk for the most part, which is kinda nice. Though the attention it requires limits me from my gaming time :cry: The fact that we are trying to launch in the next couple months increased the need for more research and testing. Lately I've been only logging into ESO to use it as a chatroom as I work sometimes, rather then actually getting to play. Hopefully I'll become a little less busy soon, though my other job working in the party rental business picks up in the summer too. :(

This is an image of my work area, it's nice to be able to watch Netflix sometimes while I'm mixing and playing with flavor ideas. The composition book is full of recipes that I've tried out, flavorings I still want to purchase, possible names for the mixtures, etc. I started using syringes for the measurements, that way I can be more accurate and recreate the mixes with much more ease.

Here you can see a few of the products in different stages. The top left bottles are flavors that didn't turn out quite right, however I still haven't given up on those, so I will be mixing them with different percentages next time. The bottles at the base of Molag Bal are empty, once filled with juices that failed and were poured down the drain. At the top right are juices that turned out great, including a Chocolate Covered Strawberry, Peach and Banana Cream, and one that tastes like a Thin Mint. The bottom right are filled with juices currently steeping, left to sit for some time to let the flavors properly mix.
