    Johnson Creek Vanda Review

    Okay, my first juice review. I don’t really know if my pallet is as discerning as most other people report. So, I’m not going to talk about subtle overtones, hints of this or that, pretty much only whether I like the juice, or not, and any other information that prospective vapers might want to...

    Boba's Bounty & Single-Hole Smoktech Cartos Question

    My experience, never talked to anyone at AVE, is that their juice is not pre-steeped, and I have vaped a lot of AVE juice. BB and GJ were all that I vaped from about my second month of vaping to about my sixth or seventh month, and I continued to vape them, along with other juices from various...

    In Stock / Out of Stock - What's Up at MadVapes

    Thanks for the reply hoog, we'll see, the proof is in the pudding, as the saying goes. The fact that you answered my concerns does offer hope, but we'll see.

    In Stock / Out of Stock - What's Up at MadVapes

    No, I read everything correctly, I read that you said MV would try to fix this, not that MV would fix this. I read that you said the new system/process would hopefully help with product availability a bit, not that the new system/process would greatly improve product availability, which is what...

    In Stock / Out of Stock - What's Up at MadVapes

    That's okay, treat a loyal customer like crap, but I do appreciate your honesty. I'll go elsewhere from now on. Since you are selling everything to wholesale/bulk buyers it seems you want me to buy elsewhere.

    In Stock / Out of Stock - What's Up at MadVapes

    Ok, so three of four days ago I get a notice from MV telling me the Octopus RDA is back in stock. I immediately go to the site to place an order - site says it's out of stock. Repeat next day, same result, repeat next day, same result, repeat next day, same result, there seems to be a trend...

    Any of you have asthma? Has your e-smoking affected it?

    I have mild asthma; no problems when I first started vaping, but at about the 6 month mark I went through 2 to 4 weeks with a little distress. I only used my inhaler once or twice, but I made sure I always had it with me. Over the next couple of weeks things got much better, and have been great...

    Vaping on a Budget.....

    There are lots of hardware options that meet your criteria - box mod, Ego, VV Ego, kgo, Gripper, VV Gripper, Ovale, and so on. I think finding a juice he really likes is more important than the device, and the juice options are nearly unlimited.

    Best Cartomizers

    I know some folks really like Boges, but I very much prefer Smok cartos, especially for use with thicker juice. In my experience the Boges just don't absorb juice very well, require near constant refilling as a result, and are much easier to burn. I'd have to quit vaping, or find another system...

    Just Bought VV Gripper

    Hey hvac, That battery looks very similar to some I've seen at various vaping sites, but I can't tell you with 100% certainty that it will work, as fourthrok said, depends on the length/dimensions of the battery. I use the button-top EH IMR 18650 batteries that MV has for sale. Forgot to add...

    Vaping, heart and cholesterol?

    I started vaping in November 2011 after having three stents placed in my heart because of three 90-plus percent blockages. My problems had been discovered after I went to the Dr. and had a nuclear stress test, among many others, after a possible cardiac event. Turns-out I didn't have a heart...

    Just Bought VV Gripper

    I've been using a VV Gripper for about a month, bought it because of the $40.00 price from MV. First one I received had to go back for replacement, could never get it to turn on - five clicks, slow, medium or fast, nothing worked. The display would flash when the battery made initial contact...

    Madvapes box mod kit

    I built one well over a year ago, my first mod. Still works as good as new, though I rarely use it anymore. I did use it every day for three to four months as I was learning the ins/outs of the vape world. Good kit for somebody new to vaping, very functional, easy to build, should be easy to...

    Is anyone else having Boge issues again??

    Why buy Boge cartos... the Smoks are far superior, in my experience anyway.

    New girl to an old scene! My Boba's Bounty order has been placed!

    Hey zmyoung... I highly recommend Hype, great peach flavor, not like syrup or those cheap peach colas. It's slightly to moderately sweet and very carto friendly, I'm over a week on my current carto, and it's still going strong. These days my two main vapes are Tennessee Cured and Hype. Just...

    New girl to an old scene! My Boba's Bounty order has been placed!

    I have vaped lots of BB and GJ, though they are not in my current rotation, don't even have any in my stockpile for the first time in a while. My experience with both juices is that a good long step time is needed. I would say around two weeks, give or take as a minimum. I used these two juices...

    Blood when blowing nose

    I had the same symptoms shortly after I started vaping. Strange that it didn't happen immediately, but rather a couple of months down the road. I switched to 100% VG juice, and started drinking about 64 oz of water each and every day, and the problem went away. Over the first six months or so of...

    RDA's?

    I've been looking at these on MV, though it seems AquaVapor lists them at $1.00 less than MV. Hoping to read some reviews before making a purchase decision. I know 8 bucks isn't much, but I'm through with wasting money on the latest crap.

    virgin vapor-awesome but I could use a suggestion!

    Lending my endorsement of Smoktech cartos, especially for high content VG juices, I can't understand anyone liking boge cartos... terrible! VV was one of my first juice suppliers from when I started vaping about 16 months ago. Tried root beer float, okay but not for me, tried cherry vanilla...

    How is Hype from Alien Vision?

    Vaping Hype as I type... love it!!! 10/90 PG to VG, good Peach flavor, slightly to fairly sweet. I sometimes mix a little Banana Slurry with it to make it a little less sweet, depending on my mood. Doesn't taste like syrup or a cheap Peach flavored soda. My current daily regimen is Tennessee...
