    Steeping vs Aging - a minor rant

    from Wikipedia Juice is "AGED" like wine, not "STEEPED" like tea. Ya, I know I'm tilting at windmills, but, there is so much nomenclature being used in the vaping community that is totally inaccurate, it's starting to drive me sane. don't get me started on people calling e-liquid 'OIL'...

    Andromeda Mech Mod?

    I got this sexy little beast today, but all that the shop could tell me was that it is called 'The Andromeda' and it's Filipino. It is a brass telescopic mod with copper contacts, and it hits like crazy, it was lust at first site, and now it is true love. Anyone know who makes it? I can't find...

    FA Thyme - Don't Do It!!!

    When I saw thyme flavoring on a vendors site I couldn't resist, it is one of those herbs that goes with anything, it is one of the more savory branches of family 'Lamiaceae' some of it's cousins are Wintergreen, Spearmint & Peppermint. So I figured it would be a good addition to my library. No...

I'd been vaping some Jasmine Green Tea that I mixed...

    Tomacco!?

    I saw FA Tomato (ripe) flavor, and I couldn't resist ordering it. From the Simpsons Episode – "E-I-E-I-D'oh" (SE-5,EP-11) "Tomacco is the produce made by Homer, when mixing Tobacco and Tomatoes after putting a plutonium rod in the ground near the tobacco and tomato plants." I am sure it's been...

    herbal flavors? (Sage, Thyme, Basil, Cilantro, etc)

    Does anyone know where I can find herb flavorings? I see "Mary Jane" and "Reggae Night" all over the place, but that's not the herb I am looking for. When I cook I love the pairing of fruit with herbs or spices, so why not in a vape? (well, with the exception of my favorite, Kiwi with Habanero...

    Flavors with little to no 'Hang Time'???

    Hang Time: the amount of time the scent of an e-liquid lingers in the air after the vapor is exhaled. I am planning on getting into DIY once WL is stocked up again. And I am using this time to figure out the flavors I need to have, not just want to have. I know that one juice I want to work on...

    Consistency & QC

    I have heard people whining about KVB's turn around times & 'ordering windows'... In my nearly two years vaping, I have discovered that QC (quality control) is a term totally foreign to most boutique juice makers. This is not the case with KVB. I love that I KNOW when I order a refill, once...

    Vortex Mini Dripper

    Got my Vortex today, FRACKING BRILLIANT, filled three of them, all vape perfectly, but one leaked, quickly (5 minutes from full to a puddle of juice on my desk). So, took it apart, and had an idea... (on a customized V4L kr808D-1 auto shortie) works like a charm

    FSUSA's RedBull aka 'Crimson Cow'

    I deplore the flavor of RedBull as a drink, but as a vape juice, I love it (go figure). I have tried versions of this flavor from several vendors, cheep Chinese to ultra expensive 'gourmet' US made. FSUSA's recently re dubbed "Crimson Cow" stands horns & hooves above the others. Not only in...

    V4L "Bicycle Inner-Tube"

    Wow!! Amazing!! I If you are looking to vape an inner-tube this is TOTALLY the way to go. Completely accurate in every nuance, absolutely flawless! The only real problem with this bit of perfection in a bottle (that will send childhood memories flooding back with every hit) is maybe the name...
