12/1/12
There is a feeling of anticipation in the air above Vapeland. The aurora borealis has returned and is changing colors every 4-5 seconds. When a beautiful, royal blue hue appears, the bank of color, layered between a burnt-sienna topping, and deep scarlet bottom, sends a tendril downward toward the area in the Center of Vapeland next to the tea table and tea service. A mini-tendril reaches out, just before it touches the ground, and an old plain, brown, wooden perch rises from the soil of Vapeland. The tendril touches the junction of the "T" on the stand and slowly expanding and contracing finally takes on the familiar form of yardbyrd. Suddenly the tentacle of color withdraws into that colorful sky and the platinum necklace, with its YB medallion, around the odd avian's neck begins to alternatingly pulse powder blue and eye pleasing orange. That deep male, Latin accented, translator voice oozes over the landscape like a balm:
"Hail! Greetings and salutations Vapelandians! Viva Vapeland! Welcome you new Vapelandians and guests to our home. I'm drawn, home, once again to expound on previous posts and share some of my own experience.
morri: Your self portraits are superior works of art displaying an excellent use of shade, hue, and color. I am so happy that you are back in the artist business. Please, never leave it!
In regard to recent slow orders from AIV I agree with The Hill Giant.
I placed two orders, recently, with AIV; 11/20/12 for Pear Ship, with adjustments, and White Rabbit. It arrived today with an extra that I will mention in a minute. I am still awaiting the order I placed on 11/24/12 but it was for Cherry Blossom, with adjustments, Mystic Mandalime, with adjustments, and Foursquare. Since two of these call for adjustments, and the last was from the Caterpillar's Apothecary which clearly states there is a waiting period, I think of 5-7 days, I assumed both orders would be slow in arriving.
The PearShip, that arrived today, with my adjustments for, as I put it, +2 tobacco, -2 Pear, and -1 sweet, is fantastic. It took almost all my will power to put it into my vape drawer to steep. The upside is since it is dated 11/27/12 (as are all the e-liquids in my order) the time in my steep drawer should be greatly reduced. It is so smoooooooth, with a light nutlike quality, and a bit more TH than the base type.
Along with my order, I'm pleased to announce, was a sample of a secret flavor! It is called Stark Winter. It is described as "..a winter, tobacco, middle ages style vape." I had to drip some to try. Oh my gosh. I could detect at least 3 levels of flavor. The tobacco is a bit richer and deeper than Pear Ship and I'm still torn as to what fruit flavoring is in there...cherry?...blueberry?... whatever it is it mixes well with the other flavorings and a hint of what I believe is menthol. I am not big on menthol but I have to say I'll have a hard time waiting for it to steep as well. Given a chance for flavors to blend I may or may not be able to identify other layers of flavor but I'm pretty sure there is more than what I could currently detect; it is just too complex and even in taste not to expect so.
I recently purchased a Vision Vivi Nova Mini and have had no problems with it on my current 510 set up. I was careful to purchase from a designated Vision Vivi Nova Supplier. Since I still cannot VVV it is hard for me to comment on the burning taste that has been reported. All I know is that at 3.7V, using a 1.8 ohm head, I have gotten excellent performance on my RIVA 510 900 mah battery. Great vapor and flavor.
Given that I'm only just about to open my 30ml White Rabbit I would have been willing to wait even longer for these e-liquids.
My order had a fantastic avatar-like representation of me that I absolutely love. I am going to try to find a way to get a copy of this and upgrade my avatar if there is any way possible.
Since you all are like my family I'd like to say that my dream of a PV upgrade may be coming to fruition. I'm currently working on a deal to secure a SS GGTS. It has a few extras but no major ones like Penelope or UFS. We'll see. If I am lucky enough to procure one I know I will be needing the expertise of The Hill Giant (incoming PM soon), Monkey, IKAG, .kmh., and probably several others. I'll announce, sometime next week, a confirmation, or denial, that an old byrd's vaping quest has been completed or is still on-going.
Thank you all, fellow Vapelandians, for such rich, artistic helpful, concerned, slice of life, and caring communiques. Alas...that is all for now...maybe a quick flyby later. In the meantime....Viva Vapeland! Viva Vapeland! Viva La Vita Vapeland!"
Suddenly, the Pear Ship has appeared in the midst of the colorful glowing sky, pulsing hues of yellow, green, and auburn, and a beam shoots forth from the stem end and locks onto yardbyrd. It draws him upward and he extends his wings, turning his head in profile, and resembles some kind of Thunderbird. He slowly rises until he docks with the Pear Ship. Without a sound the Fantastic transport zips across the sky, to the right, leaving rainbow like ripples in the aurora borealis, in its wake, before it disappears from view.
