    Welcome to Highbrow Vapor - Come on in and say hello!

    The creme brulee and hazelnut cream are next on my must-try list! This vanilla is out of control. I nearly took a bite out of my PV it tastes so good....I think another big-bottle order is at hand...

    Dave, that sounds so much like my early experience with modes and theory. I had a big book on jazz improv, and one of the exercises showed how to play over a II-V-I progression, going from Dorian to Mixolydian to Ionian. Then it occurred to me that I was playing the same scale over each chord...

    Welcome to Highbrow Vapor - Come on in and say hello!

    LOL, I had that same thought earlier today! But, I don't have any orange - I can't do tart/sour flavors, they bug my tummy unfortunately. But, I did mix a bit of French Pipe with the Vanilla. Very little of the French Pipe goes a long way, I think maybe 10 drops of Vanilla to one drop of French...

    I think that many people find theory out of reach, because different people learn it in different ways. If you begin to explore soloing by simply using notes in the chords you are playing over, you will be 90% of the way there. Since you have a good ear, you'll easily be able to start filling in...

    Welcome to Highbrow Vapor - Come on in and say hello!

    Just had my first try of the Vanilla Bourbon. Oh, my. This reminds me of Breyer's vanilla with the little specs...hands-down the best of any vanilla I have tried, and I've tried many. And I find it extremely satisfying even at 100% VG and 18mg. I'll have to write another review!

    There's a lot to be said for sticking with what works for you. I have the same Strat that I bought in '89, with custom pickup work by John Suhr. I have never picked up another guitar that I enjoyed playing more. For my 40th birthday, I treated myself to an expensive PRS Custom 22. Gorgeous...

    LOL! Yeah, I know what you mean! Sad story, actually, from a guitar-collector point of view. Back in the 70's he had to replace the original bridge with a '72 SG bridge. It took the re-sale value of the guitar down from more than $10,000 to something in the neighborhood of $700.

    Epiphone makes some fantastic Les Pauls... Thanks, glad you enjoyed. I'm a big fan of the Moog sound, that's what got me into Yes/ELP, and so many other great bands from the 70's. The song "Daddy's Gone", which is probably what you're referring to, is a 12-string doubling a piano - the other...

    Welcome to Highbrow Vapor - Come on in and say hello!

    I know it can be a lot of work, at least at first. Vapor Station warns that there is a longer wait for samplers, because they still make them to order. I also remember when Want2Vape offered them - then they didn't - then they came back again. Obviously, it would be too much to ask for...

    What's similar to Rafalicious?

    Vermillion River and Clouds of Vapor's organic tobacco line tasted similar to me. But, you never know what aspect of the flavor hooked you until it's missing. Have you tried the other AVE tobaccos, such as 555, Flue Cured, Havana? Since AVE's will all have some similarity, you might get closer...

    Welcome to Highbrow Vapor - Come on in and say hello!

    Good grief!!! Four weeks?!!?!?!?! I'd be all over this! Well, at least I would try 5-10 of them at a time. The sample pack is what got me hooked on Vapor Station...

    Thanks for the kind words about the music and the warm welcome! Nice Les Paul gold-top with soap bars! My brother-in-law loaned me one a while back while my Strat was in the shop....It was a '52, I think...

    Nice to see other vaping musicians are on this board! Nice to not have to leave the studio for smoke breaks, or have to huddle outside after gigs, isn't it? :-D Ok, here's my spam - I am guitarist/composer for a progressive rock band called Shadow Circus. We play the old 70's style prog rock...

    Welcome to Highbrow Vapor - Come on in and say hello!

    Tell me about it. Had it not been for the holiday, my order would be arriving today. Were Lincoln and Washington really that important as far as presidents go? :-P

    Highbrow Exotic Blend and RY4

    Sounds like we have very similar taste! I plan on adding some French Pipe to the big bottle of Exotic when it arrives, so now I'm looking forward to that. Have you tried any others from Highbrow? Any recommendations?

    Highbrow Exotic Blend and RY4

    I hope these work out for you! It's so hard to tell if a flavor will work for anyone in particular, and is the reason I have been reluctant to write reviews of many juices I've tried. In fact, I can safely say that every single juice that I don't like has had very positive reviews at one time or...

    Welcome to Highbrow Vapor - Come on in and say hello!

    LOL, not at all! I think your post summed it up, though - you're obviously passionate about what you do, and that shows in your products and the way you do business.

    Juice Review: Ahlusion Tiramisu

    I wonder how it compares to Vapor Station's Tiramisu? I was quite addicted to that one for a while...
