    List of vendors who re-label & sell eliquid made by someone else

    "Ripping off", unless you're just referring to the name of the juice, is kind of a misnomer I think. If a vendor is just re-labling already mixed wholesale-bought juices, or dumping Dekang pear into a bottle of Dekang raspberry and calling it Peary Berry Poo that's unimpressive, like calling Rum...

    Guide to DIY Flavoring

    Has anyone tried Ahlusion's flavorings? Very limited choice but I love their juices. Apparently Wlad extracts the flavors himself...

    I'm looking for something really different, aren't you? A special list for the not so easily impressed

    Fun and true post, lasttango. Re Ahlusion, definitely. I'm skeptical of myself because all humans are suggestible and it's fun and harmless to get excited about new products. But I've comparison-tasted Ahlusion (strawberry to strawberry, etc.) with other lines and whatever Wlad is doing, it's...

    For Reals This Time: 2012 ECF Juice of the Year Awards

    As I remember it, Atomic Cinicide (I've forgotten how to spell it!) had quite a 'fan club' in its own day - what else would you call it? I was in it for a month or two, going, "Wow! Wow! You can't even TASTE other juices after this!" :facepalm: (It was true. That's a fun juice.) I say the...

    It's Time to protect Craft Eliquid or Artisan Eliquid

    My two cents worth: I like artisan better than craft because it's familiar in relation to products besides beer - artisan bread, artisan cheese, artisan chocolate, artisan liqueurs... Too much Etsy in 'craft'. :) (Google craft foods and you get Kraft foods, and irony, ha.) Any food that...

    Looking for a B&M in maryland???

    I had no idea - I'm a long lost Baltimore girl, just moved to Perry Hall (or close to) from a long sojourn in the freezing wastelands of central NY. Sixty five degrees in April? Wowsers. And B&Ms not too far? Basking...

    Hate when juice gets on EVERYTHING...

    It's not oil, though. It's water soluble. Use whatever you'd normally use to remove water soluble spill from suede. You've noticed that it comes out easily in the wash when spilled on clothing?

    FDA may soon propose regulation that could ban many/most e-cigarette products, eliminate many/most companies

    "Updates" there wouldn't need to be definitive and after-the-fact final - it's always relevant to read about ongoing political shifts in this action and who is saying what amongst the players and explanations of nuances in the process and items at hand and such. That'd be very helpful after the...

    FDA may soon propose regulation that could ban many/most e-cigarette products, eliminate many/most companies

    I do remember the Sunvapor thread... I must have read 500 pages just to catch up when I first discovered it. Different feel to it altogether, somehow, and interesting bits of info and updates were ongoing as here, as was tons of discussion. There needs to be a stickied FDA legislation thread...

    FDA may soon propose regulation that could ban many/most e-cigarette products, eliminate many/most companies

    If I could like this comment 10 times, in capital letters, I would. I think it'd be a good idea to split the thread and start one called "general political comments, snarks, thumps and rants here". The mods are either disingenuous or truly clueless about how polarizing and obnoxious and just...

    A salty juice?

    Somebody makes a salted caramel - that sweet is at least salty, too. Darn if I can remember who but maybe this post will prompt someone who can, if that's at all interesting to you. Only others I've heard of are the novelty flavors like bacon and pizza. Who knows, they might tickle your fancy...

    Fda approved e-liquid???

    Of course. Savvy vendors are paying close attention and my sense is that they're calm, if not sanguine, and already anticipating likely possibilities. I'm seeing more and more on those websites re specific ingredients and in-house testing and purity, and "FDA approval". We'd like to think this...

    A horrible thing has happened (Pluid related)

    I'd start with the absinth aversion. Pick a favorite time in the evening. Make sure you're feeling good and watching a movie or reading or something. Set a TINY bit of the absinth next to you. Like, a teeny sip. Keep reading or whatever. After a bit, just sip it. Then eat or drink something you...
