roflmao! doodlebug came from debadoodle (probably) In another thread we were on, folks had a lotta fun with my name for awhile. It was funny!

LOL Nah it's good stuff :) And the leaving things behind sure did feel nuts. I was so bummed a couple hundred bucks under my old kitchen sink.:( Sure couldn't have it shipped to me. I wish
I woulda left a couch or something before I left my vape stuff!! lol


Seriously not tryin' to be a contrarian here, but where did da objection to alcohol in flavorings or extractions come from? Yes, I'm well aware dat dere are sum dat are sensitive to alcohol, albeit quite a small percentage. Just let da flav 'breathe' prior to usage. Besides, coil heat will evaporate da 'offensive' taste in no time at all in a recipe.

From my earlier research re extractions, alcohol was da better vehicle, if not best, fer da most flav development.

Just my $.01 FRN (deflation)...
I don't have any idea what is right or wrong, but I do trust Kurt Kistler, and he says inhaling alcohol is damaging to the lungs.

it takes a hard left so it can bend out thousands of miles to the East so the Aleutian Islands can fit into today. If it didn't, part of Alaska would be in today and part would be in tomorrow! :shock: It also makes Alaska the farthest West AND the farthest East state in the union
that is so kewl

even though over half of the legislature vapes???
for reals??????? that makes it even more insane!!

JUst keep in mind there's not much "reality" in "reality T.V."
The scenery is every bit as beautiful, even more so and the weather is as adverse as is shown but the "reality" of the situations is a pretty big stretch. ;)
Very true. My sil and I had that disagreement too. She is really into a lot of them, and I told her a lot of it is scripted, she says no.....it's all real, you can see it in their faces. Ok, so they're good liars (actors) lol But a lot is still scripted for ratings.

Just don't tell the frying pan guy, er, uh, gal.......... :lol: :lol: :lol:
someone call me??????

IDK, just looks weird to moi......... o_O :confused:
He just wants it cuz it says it has "good hand touching" lol Yeah looks weird to me too

Dang! That sounds GOOD, Kenna! I liked Omega's Hendershot. A Graham Cracker/Tobacco, but have since dropped the tobacco and been DIYing my own Honey Graham. It's a simple one. 8% TFA Light Graham, 2% TFA Dark Graham (for a little depth of flavor) & 5% TFA Honey.

Try G2 Vapor's El Blacco. I wish I knew what that pipe tobacco in it is. It's a very authentic pipe flavor. I have to use it outside & with the wind blowing the vapor away from me so I don't get the coughing & gagging from Mom. It's the only flavor she's ever complained about so I know it really does bother her.

O.k. I do need some advice.... I'm looking at a Kayfun V5 (on Fasttech), but I don't know which one to seek. There are a ton of them - I'm only interested because they're supposed to be more DL than the V3s. I'm working with the V3s, but I'm still struggling with dry hits (prolly 'cause I'm trying to drink a milkshake through a coffee stirrer with high VG juice.....)
Go to Eciggity & get the Tobecco. Mine is good, & Leggs has 2 or 3 & says they are better than his authenticl

Well Provape told me I would have to sign for my package so I waited around all day to do just that and just like before with the DFW pacakage the mailman stuck it in the mailbox and no signature required. I guess that was one way to get me to stick around all day... Second time I have been told I would have to sign for Vape stuff, but no signature required... :blush:
I didn't have to sign for mine either. They just stuck them in my PO box.

That sounds like here although it has been picking up here. Too little too late. I do want to get down to Matt Bradleys vape shop it's just a little ways from here. You guys might remember him from Deadliest Catch. He's been on the Northwestern for a long time.
I like his Hex Ohm hat.

Gee, according to Von Vape...I visited 10% of the vape shops then, while I was in Alaska in June - 1 shop in Ketchikan and 1 in Anchorage. Saw 1 of the ones he says are within 12 miles of him, but didn't stop and go in it. And he's right...couldn't find even 1 in Juneau, and it's easily 2-3 times as big as little Ketchikan is.

Sooo jealous! My bil has an oak barrel. My sister got it for him from Deep South Barrels. They are located in Pearland. Their website shows they have some tinctures. I keep thinking about those. There's a homebrew store in Pearland also. I think I need to move to Pearland.

I'm not sure if mine came from Deep South or not. My Bride got it for me a coupla years ago for a Christmas present. She had it engraved and everything. :wub: She's too good to me sometimes. :) I have checked Deep South's website a few times... I keep meaning to order some of their flavoring bottles for different spirits. So far, I've just stuck with the Bourbon flavor that came with the barrel.

@LittleBird & I could help you with that!

Hahahaha! If I ever made a liter of it, I'd most definitely have to bottle some up for y'all!

Currently a good perique is my favorite. I have several extracts I have done of various perique blends. One of the American Spirit extractions is their perique. Pretty good!

Yep, it is very good if you can get the stuff from St. James Parrish. :) American Spirit uses a blend of St. James perique.

For those that don't know: From Wiki
Perique/pəˈriːk/ is a type of tobacco from Saint James Parish, Louisiana, known for its strong, powerful, and fruity aroma. When the Acadians made their way into this region in 1776, the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes were cultivating a variety of tobacco with a distinctive flavor. A farmer named Pierre Chenet is credited with first turning this local tobacco into what is now known as Perique in 1824 through the labor-intensive technique of pressure-fermentation.

Production
The tobacco plants are manually kept suckerless and pruned to exactly 12 leaves through their early growth. In late June, when the leaves are a dark, rich green and the plants are 24-30 inches (600 to 750 mm) tall, the whole plant is harvested in the late evening and hung to dry in a sideless curing barn. Once the leaves have partially dried but are still supple (usually less than 2 weeks in the barn), any remaining dirt is removed and the leaves are moistened with water and stemmed by hand. The leaves are then rolled into "torquettes" of approximately 1 pound (450 g) and packed into hickory whiskey barrels. The tobacco is kept under pressure using oak blocks and massive screw jacks, forcing nearly all the air out of the still-moist leaves. Approximately once a month the pressure is released, and each of the torquettes is worked by hand to permit a little air back into the tobacco. After a year of this treatment, the perique is ready for consumption, although it may be kept fresh under pressure for many years. Extended exposure to air degrades the particular character of perique. The finished tobacco is dark brown - nearly black - very moist with a fruity, slightly vinegary aroma.[1] The fruity aroma is the result of hundreds of volatile compounds created by anaerobic fermentation of the tobacco. Many of these are responsible for the flavors of fruits and are often found in wine.[2]

Often considered the truffle of pipe tobaccos, perique is used as a component of various blended pipe tobaccos, as many people consider it too strong to be smoked pure. At one time, the fresh and moist perique was also chewed, but none is now sold for this purpose. Fewer than 16 acres (65,000 m²) of this crop remain in cultivation. Most Louisiana perique is cultivated by farmers Percy and Grant Martin in Grande Pointe, Louisiana.[3]Although at its peak Saint James Parish was producing around 20 tons of perique a year, output is now merely a few barrels. The perique used in pipe tobaccos now is the less expensive Acadian Perique, consisting ofKentucky Green River Burley (from various states) that is processed in the same manner as perique and blended with St. James grown tobacco. The Acadian perique is made by L.A. Poche. Although the process produces a strong, spicy tobacco, it is a different product from the original straight St. James perique grown on the Martin and Poche family farms.

Pierre Chenet's grand daughter, Coralie Decareau, married Celestin Poche in February 1829, and the Poche family has been involved in the cultivation and processing of Perique tobacco through current times. As of June 2015, only three farmers grow tobacco commercially in Saint James Parish.

While traditionally a pipe tobacco (and still available from some specialist tobacconists), perique can also be found in Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company's perique cigarettes under the Natural American Spirit brand in an approximately 1 part to 5 blend with lighter tobaccos. These cigarettes are marketed in a black box (Perique Rich Robust) and in a gray box (Perique Rich.) Loose tobacco for rolling is sold by the same company in black pouches. Perique is also featured in the Mysterioso line of cigars made by the Connecticut Valley Tobacconist. Mysterioso is available with a genuine Connecticut shade wrapper, genuine aged Louisiana Perique, and Honduran tobacco. It is the only cigar in the world that uses a perique blend.

Or you could share ... :wub:

Wif you and Kenna, absolutely! :):wub:

It most definitely has a unique flavor that I've never found in any other tobacco. When I was doing RYO cigs, I couldn't smoke the perique all day-every day, but always found it a nice break from regular cigs. Also, it went very, very well with a glass of one's favorite spirit. ;)

Well, I think I've got my Kayfun Lite figured out. Like it even more than the Lemo. I'm trying to get spare parts for them. There's a blog here by TheKiwi that gives sizes and cheap non-vaping sources for the screws and O-rings which is nice.

What I really want now is plastic tank sections. The only source I can find locally is Mad Vapes, and I got hung up yesterday on their age verification process. Don't think it's trying to verify me on-line and failing because it comes back with unable to verify in less than a second. I'm waiting on a ticket.

They have some on FT. Most of the colors have been discontinued. They have bright yellow, and a set of 3 with clear, grey, and blue. Just $1.80 for the set. Mad Vapes are $1.50 each. I think I'm going to take the plunge and go with FT. And keep my fingers crossed that FDA doesn't pull the plug before they arrive.

Another part that is widely sold is the central pin that the air goes through. Is this something that breaks? Should I be getting spares?
