    About a week back I posted that Churros y Chocolate by The Vape Kitchen didn't have enough cinnamon coming through. I had contacted them and they said to throw it out and they would reblend and resend to me. Well they did and I got it yesterday. I took out a clean mini Protank 2 and a cleaned...

    I agree with you about certain sweeteners not working for me. I wish I knew what the ingredient was so I could ask a vendor beforehand and save myself the trouble OR request they make a blend without the sweetener so I could add my own.

    lavender I would love that! Will let you know when I am ready. PS: I tried to order the vanilla and lavender from AiV today but they are closed. I set a calendar reminder to do it on Tuesday. Looking forward to that flavor combo.

    I loved the first season of GOT so much that I bought all the unabridged audiobooks. I listen to them on long drives (1+ hour each way). Fricking fantastic stories! I love all the symbolism, the political intrigue, the well developed characters. These stories got me back into reading fiction. So...

    I have a sophia and dripper pro on the way from greece now. I may have some questions for you. I haven't built anything yet so I'm a little intimidated by it...but I also like to tinker with things so at the same time I'm looking forward to it. I did buy some prebuilts for the same reason as you.

    While I am slightly turned off by the name AltCig, I really like the sounds of horchata and gingerbread creme brulee. Added to my want list.

    I was wondering about that one. Grape has been a tough one - I don't care for the super bright grape jolly rancher flavor. Grape soda sounds a lot better. Sweeter, mellow. Is it one of those juices with the fizzy sensation?

    It's actually the color of the crystals that makes the difference - meaning how far along the flowers were before they were harvested. Milky gives you one kind of high, amber gives you another. That's why at the w33d shops (cough, sorry pharmacies, cough) you see people using a loupe to get a...

    years ago in my um, not cigarette smoking days I would clean my gear with ISO and then give it a water flush. But it was all glass so there's that. I don't know whether a water rinse would get ISO out of silica or cotton wick. Probably not cotton.

    MMm good question. If you have variable voltage equipment or you have a low ohm wick, you'll get as much flavor from Pineapple Whip as you will from Some'Mores. If you don't have variable voltage or you are using 2.5 ohms resistance, I think you find Pineapple Whip too mild. And as I'm tasting...

    I hope this isn't a dumb question: would rubbing alcohol also work or does it have to be the 'meant for internal consumption' kind of alcohol such as vodka?

    Flavor notes for today: AlphaVapes Heist - this came in my April Zamplebox. It smells like bublegum. It tastes like strawberry Big League Chew. And rubbing alcohol. Back in the cupboard for steeping. Five Pawns Absolute Pin - this was from the five pack of wee samples. Absolute Pin is a strange...

    I avoid PG because I don't like the throat hit, but I could add some and still be OK. I mean, a lot of the off the shelf brands I buy have PG so I guess I could add it as long as I keep the ratio low. And I guess I could also use an education. I haven't spent time on the DIY threads mostly...

    My DIY sucks too and I can't figure out if it is the ingredients I'm using or if my blending techniques are bad or what. My flavor to base ratio is high. I let them steep for a couple weeks. And mostly I just don't taste anything. I'm using 100% VG and low nic - like 3-4 mg and I'm mixing in wee...

    I think it sux you had to take a paycut. I haven't had to do that yet but people on our team have forgone raises for years now. Execs still get their bonuses, though. /rant

    For me summer friendly means something durable with great threading. I go on hikes and I go to the beach and so I want something that will hold up if I drop it and the threads won't get all wonky if there is a grain of beach stuck in there. Did you mean summer friendly in case you lose it?

    So, money saving tip for all the $tarbux fans out there: Dessert vape with your drip coffee. So much tastier (and so much cheaper) than one of those $4 flavored lattes. Probably saves about 300 calories too ha! I'm sure many have figured it out but I didn't try this until I started buying all...

    I'm sure I'm late to the party on a reply here but Mothers Milk on low voltage tastes like fresh strawberries, cream or milk, and dry biscuit. It isn't a dry vape, but I mean to say the baked flavor is more like shortcake than sponge cake.

    Just so you know, I LOVE TIPS LIKE THIS! I mean, I can experiment on my own too, but not all my equipment has variable voltage (I gotta charge that baby sometimes) so it's good to know in advance.
