    Challenge: Pick the 5 Juices you'd recommend to a new vaper

    For a brand-new vaper? 1 Any of the Kentucky Premium blends from Vermillion River (my preference was KP #7) 2 A good dessert or mixed-drink flavor from Gen X Vapors (I'd probably recommend either the Savannah Strawberry Cake or the XYZinger, both are fantastic) 3 A mild, lightly sweet flavor...

    What Flavor Are you Vaping Right Now?

    Savannah Strawberry Cake from Gen X Vapor. PHENOMENAL strawberry-shortcake-ish flavor, with a real strawberry and whipped cream taste to it that I rarely find in a juice, and a nice angel-food-like cake aftertaste. Yumyumyum. This 30ml isn't going to last very long.

    I got more juice today. This time, I can blame my husband, as HE ordered it. And after vaping some of it, I'm now a puddle of delight. ECBlends is good, but OH MAN, I love Gen X Vapors' juice. Savannah Strawberry Cake tastes like one of those little angel-food dessert cups topped with fresh...

    A few short GenX Vapor juice reviews

    At a local vape meet last month, I got a chance to try out a few juices from Gen. X Vapor, and oh, am I ever glad that I did. They're a very new company (in fact, they'd barely gotten their website up before the meet), but their flavors are to die for - predominantly dessert or mixed-drink...

    No, see, what you do later is to PIF the juice you don't prefer to other people who're trying to quit the stinkies. (That's what I'm gonna do, anyhow. I gotta divvy up some of my less-preferred juice soon, come to think of it.) ;)

    Helping the Homeless (dont know where to post)

    Something you might also want to consider (although I think you'll get a lot of help here at ECF, too!) is asking some of the various sellers if they would be willing to consider donating equipment to your cause. I know that when I ran a retail store, we would get very few requests of that sort...

    No flavour at all!!

    It's one of the joys of quitting smoking -- your taste buds are trying to recover. :) What I found helped me when I had taste bud issues was to drink a lot more water, to brush my teeth more often, and if those things didn't bring back tastes, I would put about a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar...

    Do PVs look like Other Things ?

    I have been propositioned precisely once by someone trying to sell me something illegal because he misunderstood what my PV was. This was at a bar, and it was incredibly obvious that the guy was looking for people to purchase his illicit product, as I was not even close to the only person he...

    How do you maximize your flavor?

    I keep 3-4 different flavors with me at a given time. This means that I can swap out flavors if I start to lose the taste of one, which tends to wake up the taste buds again. I also tend to have something to drink on hand. If you find that you just can't wake up the taste buds with a drink or...

    Help for a new guy

    Are you tied to the concept of having something which is identical in size and shape to a cigarette? The reason that I ask this is simple: if you want something that is about identical to a cigarette sized model, you are stuck with limited options - the Joye 510, the Volt, and a handful of...

    A frustrated consumer.

    Here's my thought on this whole situation (yeah, I know, I'm coming into this a little late in the conversation): I started with a cigarette-sized unit like many of us do. Within a week or two, I'd picked up an ego (which is, sizewise, the same as the kgo/Riva type of batteries). I still use...

    Man, now I really want Biscotti juice. *weeps* I have enough juice! I'm steeping a homebrewed buttered popcorn juice right now! Why do I need biscotti juice? But it sounds so GOOD...

    Hey, on that ego-T of yours... When you're filling up a tank, drop 2-3 drops directly onto the wick. Do NOT fill the tank completely - leave about a third of it empty. Then, once you've put the tank cap back on, put a drop of juice directly on the outside of the hole of the tank before...

    10ml a day?

    While it's hard for me to gauge as I usually have about 5 flavors with me at any given time, I suspect I go through about 2.5ml of my primary flavor, about 1.5-2ml of my secondary, and then unknown but very small amounts of the others (just to change it up a bit here and there). My primary...

    I don't know that it's particularly brave. Time-consuming... not even that, to be honest. Throw some stuff into a bottle, close the bottle, shake it up well, and set it aside and ignore it for a couple days (except for occasional shakings when you remember to). ;) The most time-consuming part of...

    Does anyone have cheaper 0mg juice than tasty vapor?

    If you DIY, you can get a lot better prices on PG and VG than what was posted earlier if you buy a larger bottle. My husband got a quart of PG and a quart of VG on Amazon for $30 (we have Amazon Prime, so shipping was free). That'd be 960ml of PG and 960ml of VG for $30. Of course, this does not...

    Am I the last person who drips?

    There's a lot of people who drip to sample flavors. For me, unless I want to try a whole lot of flavors in a short period of time, it's just too much of a hassle; like someone else said earlier, I get maybe 1-2 drags before I have to drip again. Just not worth it to me, plus I hate...

    Also, for hardware, I recommend Hoosier or Liberty Flights. Hoosier carries kgos and assorted stuff to go with 'em, Liberty Flights carries Rivas, Lavatube-clones, assorted batteries, and a lot of my cartos/clearos. (They sell prepunched boge cartos, which are wonderful for my Phiniac tanks, so...

    Sweetener? Use ethyl maltol, or alternately, add a few drops of cotton candy flavor to whatever you're vaping (as cotton candy flavor is generally just ethyl maltol in whatever PG/VG blend you got). My husband is enabling my DIY habits. A couple days ago, he ordered me a quart of PG, a quart...
