As I suspected but this is pathetic. Look at Nicoticket, Clark gave everyone a heads up and continual Sales to deplete his holdings. In addition, I read that Clark will release his Recipes barring a couple if he liquidates.

I would bet that someone would have bought that RY4 Recipe from Mr. vape if offered. I read previously that no one could replicate it.

An interesting mission would be to track down the Owner of Mr. vape. I would try but I do not have the computer skills to do this.

Did some work on this starting with the secretary of State in NC. Developed names, first last and middle, even fathers name of one and some criminal history (minor)developed what looks like a good home address for one of them. Developed what appears to be a good home phone for one but it just rings and rings and no answer and no voicemal. Will keep trying.

Meet the P3 blem cousins — White Gloss (Dinner Lady Lemon Tart) and White-Black Fade (Mr. Meringue). My ProVaris have grown exponentially this year with all the Special Blem sales. They all have been impeccable. I am not the best photographer and the tile-like pieces on the table make them look like they are leaning.

I was just reading an article about the FDA deadline extension. Some excerpts —

In addition, there are several manufacturers within the Vape Industry Help Group – FDA tobacco Registration Facebook Group that are becoming frustrated with the functionality of the website and the submission process that the FDA has provided in the FDA Unified Registration and Listing System (FURLS) website. When asked about these frustrations, Troop from The Plume Room stated “After going through the process of registering products on the FDA website, I feel someone needs to regulate the FDA’s web team. It’s that bad. Not very user friendly at all.”

Creator of the Vape Industry Help Group and owner of JHT Vape, Skip Murray shared with us “I am so intimidated by the process, I have registered and not gone any further. The site is too complicated and I lack horribly in the skills to do this. I have no idea how to get images of our labels with out spending a ton of money and printing each one and then photographing it. I want to be in compliance, but it feels like the FDA set us up to fail. Bit by bit this patriotic old broad is losing her pride in being an American. I am disgusted that public health had nothing to do with health and everything to do with financial statements.”

Absolutely gorgeous and so distinctive. Do you like Mr Merinque best or Dinner Lady? Mr Merinque might be a little more lemoney and less crust (IMO)

Vape chemist - Mango Pound Cake and Lemon Pound cake

I am not sure what to say about these juices. It's easier to find a solid theme and expression for juices when they hit that sweet spot or are fantastic. My excitement about these juices is more muted and obscure. The sweet spot is a little too sweet in these juices perhaps.

Upon opening the bottles the scent is divine and promises of an idyllic vaping experience. The nuances and fruits really pop on the nose. There is a real excitement about these juices when smelling them.

However, vaping them both reveals a prominent amount of sucralose. In a very masterfully mixed juice, sucralose should give a little sweetness to the flavour profile and lift the base flavours. It should not have a presence of its own but rather permeate with the main flavours making up the juice. The blend of flavours and sucralose should be sublime enough that one can't distinguish sucralose and instead, the sweetness should at least appear to be coming from the flavour. The mix of flavoring and sweetener should form a balanced whole.

However, the sucralose is quite prominent in these juices and it is evident that the sweetness is not coming from the mango or lemon.

That said, the mango and lemon in each respective juice is nice. They are faithful representations of those flavours and don't taste artificial. The mango is perhaps one of the best mangos I've tried.

If my feelings about these juices weren't already ambiguous enough as it was with the sucralose issue I have a further petty gripe with the mango pound cake and that is I am not getting a great deal of pound cake. I chose the mango pound cake over the Philippine mango because I was wanting a flavour that represented more a bakery style or patisserie style fruit flavoured cake. Mango pound cake is more just a fruit vape than a Cakey desserty vape.

The pound cake is a little more prominent in the lemon pound cake.

Both juices are nice vapes and really do work well as all day Vapes if you can get passed the sucralose overdose.

Where these juices fall on the spectrum of my favourite juices with a rank of 1 being something entirely unvapable and horrible and something utterly divine and a must have at all times being a 10 is hard to say. Maybe a 5 or a 6.

Usually, when I get a new juice the novelty lasts a while and just on the basis of it being a new taste experience on my palate, I will find myself reaching for it. However, at the same time I was vaping Mango pound cake I had Looper by ANML in another tank, I juice I know well and have thoroughly passed the novelty stage on it. I found myself reaching for Looper more often.

Don't get me wrong, these juices are nice. They make the grade and are enjoyable. The mango and lemon are natural tasting and not artificial, but if you are an experienced vaper and have tried 100s of juices and are looking for the next great juice to reach new plateaus of flavour sensation and vaping nirvana and that's what you are expecting from these juices, you may find yourself disappointed.

Just to confuse you and myself even more, I gave some samples to a friend of mine who likes the very reputable One Hit Wonder range of juices and good quality gourmet juices. He told me he really enjoyed the samples I gave him of lemon pound cake and mango pound cake without question or doubt.

I knew when I smelled them. They are very similar to a juice line I vaped before. Funny story-- my friend loved them, and just swore I would too. At 47 I succumbed to the wrath of peer pressure and bought 3 bottles of something I'd never vape-- those 3 flavors left such a lasting impression on me that I still remember their name.

Sin City, Toffin Casket, and Truffle Butter (with a name like that it's got to be good, nope).

I should have used my memory of my friend devouring the lunches made at the public school we went to together in Miami as kids. I never could eat that stuff.

Daft spunk is like pizza. Everyone likes it but you know the one person at the table that can't stomach it is probably gluten intolerant [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

Sorry chanelvaps but I am with tazzle here. There is absolutely nothing comparable to Five Pawns - Castle Long. When I open the Bottle I just swoon :)

When a Vendor was clearing out Castle Long Reserve recently; I proved to be quite the hypocrite by previously swearing that I would never buy Five Pawns again. I had to scarf up a number of Bottles.

Castle Long and Lucena are my favourites from Five Pawns trailed closely by Absolute Pin and Perpetual Check. I haven't tried the new ones yet such as Black Flag Fallen or Symmetry Six.

Five pawns liquids are the only ones ivd actually finished 30 ml bottles of e-juice with high nicotine content. I have 18 mg bottles of Castle Long and Lucena down go their last drops now and I still vape them regularly in my high Nic MTL setups I take to work or outdoors.

Oh, and Patriot by goodejuice. I have finished 30 ml bottles of that as well.

I know I am on a string of posts here but this is how I am. I check every few days and then post at once.

But this must be said ! I did something very positive over this Christmas. I didn't buy any vape related goods at all and instead purchased two pairs of shoes from the post Christmas related sales. One good pair of business shoes, shiny, pointy and black was for work and another pair for casual wear.

Excellent review. You have a sophisticated palate and a great talent for writing. I know taste is subjective, but still it's strange to me that opinions of this juice are so far apart. To me, it's a boldly flavored, natural-tasting, pound cake dominant mango juice, but several others on this thread think the mango is what is dominant. I guess it's just a case of different strokes for different folks!! :)

Can you taste the fluffy marshmallow in Lotus and is it real sweet?

Fresh from the mail, Lotus is a tart strawberry juice. It's sweet enough, but it's not overly sweet. I'm not getting the cream or the marshmallow, so I'll have to put this bottle away to see what develops. I like it quite a bit, and I imagine I'll like it even more tomorrow when my new wick is more fully broken in.

I ordered from ejuices.com and I am sure they are the same company because when one is out of stock on something the other is too.
I got more DL Lemon Tart and more Wayfarer from Tally Ho. I wanted to try Dolomite but they are out of it. I also tried Lethargy but love Wayfarer thE most. The taste of donut is FOR REAL

I looked up the Tally Ho flavors. Really sounds delicious — but OMGeee 80% VG is way too much for me.

I like them both with DL being a tad more. It has taken me years to find lemon flavors I like so having two to choose from makes me very happy.

INVENTORY UPDATE

When we announced we were going out of business we had 39,246 bottles in stock. Currently there are 25,547 bottles in stock. That's nearly 14,000 bottles we have moved since the announcement! Thank you so much to those of you that have placed those orders! We need your help! Help us move the remaining bottles by sharing this sale with all of your vaping friends -- Facebook groups, etc. At this point I am breaking even. I'm not making anything... I just want the bottles to find good homes.

On a personal note...

Thank you for the outpouring of support since we announced we are going out of business. So many have reached out and shared their story. Someone sent me a meat and cheese platter and I have no idea who it was -- but -- I digress. Christmas was quiet -- that was good. I hope you have a Happy New Year! ~Clark

Have to ask if you like the P3 or the Radius better. I have my eye on the Blemished P3 Gun Metal since someone on this Thread has guided me to a different plug and play Tank that the V2.5's will not fire.

I can only surmise that you did not find a Blemish on what you bought.

That is a tough question because I like them both however I am partial to the tube form even though I have several box mods. Having said that in the image below there are three box mods and one tube. The Radius is on the left — should have angled it. The P3 is good to 20 watts whereas the Radius I have is the 60 watt version. I have one Radius (Ghost White). Got it when ProVape had their 20% off BF/CM sale. I doubt that I will be buying anymore because I have quite a few between the 2.5, Classic, P3 and Radius. Can't go wrong with a P3 GMZ however if you are more of a box mod person then the Radius is very nice.

What plug and play tank are you considering? Of all the blems I purchased, they were all picture perfect without any flaws or defects.
