    Absinthe in concentrate/VG?

    Excellent! But I've just noticed that Totally Wicked appears to be selling the concentrate now: 10ml Decadent Vapour ABSINTHE Flavour Concentrate Is this the real deal? Because if so, I'm placing an order for three bottles. :) Can't wait to see your retail site! As much as I love...

    Absinthe in concentrate/VG?

    I ordered some premixed VG Absinthe two years ago direct from DV, have long since run out, and have not much liked the non-DV versions of absinthe I've come across. Still no luck on bottling a concentrate? Or, barring that, is anyone selling DV Absinthe in 0 mg. VG? I still miss it, even...

    Blu vs Volcano

    (I've been MIA for a while but still duck my head in on occasion) I've never had any real complaints about blu, but lately I've been getting all my parts from Volcano. They really seem to be making solid improvements, or maybe all the innovation is from the original manufacturer, I don't...

    Blu Cig Review and Comparison

    I have ten blu and Volcano batteries and I've never had this oversensitivity problem-- just lucky, I guess. My Revolver batteries, on the other hand, light up if someone clears their throat from ten feet away. (One of the many reasons I ditched it and went back to blu.) While I was trying...

    Warning: Johnson creek e-liquid

    Well, I use ONLY VG-based liquids and never have atomizer problems EXCEPT when I use JC liquids. To be fair, they really aren't "problems," exactly, but after a few days of JC, a fresh atomizer will be gunked-up and running cool, requiring another cleaning. Whereas my go-to atomizer, which I...

    Blu Cig Review and Comparison

    Wow, you and I have drastically different definitions of "small form factor" if you lump the 901 in that category-- the thing's over 3 cm longer than the blu (118.8 mm vs. 88 mm). The only other e-cig's in the blu's weight class that I've tried are the JOYE 306A (89mm) and the Revolver Elite...

    Defective Blu batts, Attys and/or Carts??? HELP!

    I've tried hydrogen peroxide and noticed no difference, but some others say it works for them. It could be a placebo effect, or it could be that deposits left by certain liquids are more affected by H2O2 and others are less so. All I know is that I personally didn't have much luck with it. It...

    Defective Blu batts, Attys and/or Carts??? HELP!

    Yeah, it's Nichrome wire, I think. Eventually it will burn out or break, especially if it's coated in gunk-- one person determined that the deposits can get so bad that they literally displace the wire so much it just breaks off. Interestingly, one way people have found to break the carbon...

    Defective Blu batts, Attys and/or Carts??? HELP!

    I think any organic compound has carbon in it (carbon-based life forms, after all), which gets left behind when the substance burns. Shouldn't be any different than the black crud on a grill or in an oven, right? But I'm no chemist. And if you've ever had to clean a grill or an oven, you...

    Defective Blu batts, Attys and/or Carts??? HELP!

    Like I said, the jury's still out. :) Lots of people insist that boiling atomizers can weaken the internal connections, though I've personally never found this to be a problem—however, I've also never found boiling them to be any more effective than just flushing them out really well under hot...

    Blu vs Volcano

    Johnson Creek is US-made and pretty transparent; they put ingredients lists on every bottle. The flavours are love-'em-or-hate-'em for most people, but they have the best return policy in the business (60 days money-back, even on opened bottles, and they pay shipping). I really like JC, but...

    Defective Blu batts, Attys and/or Carts??? HELP!

    What liquids are you using? Your symptoms sound like you have serious carbon deposits on your coil. Water won't clean them; you need something that will dissolve the burnt-on gunk. I've had some success with gentle shaking in warm alcohol (I actually got small black chunks of carbon sitting...

    Blu vs Volcano

    No offense, but how can you know that? You say you're "not keen on getting a dropper bottle with no labels or anything filled with a mystery liquid," but I'm looking at a box of blu carts right now, and that's pretty much the situation-- no ingredients list, and nothing indicating the...

    Johnson Creek fans fyi

    I'll post an actual review once I've had some more time with these flavours, but so far, the two Red Oak liquids I've tried aren't bad. Domestic is a little like a less-nutty JC Original with a smokier finish, more like analog smoke, but nowhere NEAR as harsh an ashtray-taste as, say...

    I plan on giving my blu a chance.

    Both blu and Volcano sell the same product (the JSB L88b), just branded with different logos, different colored LEDs, etc. But all the stuff is interchangeable (though they won't tell you that). The carts should be identical. That said, I will note that I've bought 401 carts from three...

    I plan on giving my blu a chance.

    Which InnoVapor menthol? They used to sell Intellicig's ECOpure, but now make their own liquid called ULTRApure. One of ULTRApure's selling points is that it's supposed to have a better throat hit, even in zero-nic form. I haven't tried the ULTRApure yet, but some is on its way to me...

    Blu vs Volcano

    Don't worry, ECOpure is AMAZING in a blu. Since it's all-VG-based, it produces lots more vapour than PG-based liquids. And the blu is low-heat enough that the ECOpure flavours taste the way they should. ECOpure in my 510 works great, but the flavour is always both slightly milder and slightly...

    Decadent Vapors At US TW?

    It's more a matter of convenience, time, mess, etc. I'm sort of past the phase when experimenting with mixing liquids was fun and interesting, and now I really prefer just buying ready-made liquids as long as I like them. But I probably will take your advice, since the concentrations are...

    Web Site Down / be9.net "coming soon"

    All good news, except that I can't actually USE any of your liquids that are currently available—TW only carries 36 mg and 18 mg concentrations (I need 0 mg) in PG form (I need VG), and the range of flavours they have available appears to be a small subset of your old product line. TECC's...

    Decadent Vapors At US TW?

    Fingers crossed that I'll be able to buy zero-nic VG liquids from TW, then; otherwise I'm out of luck. :(
