    Labs for testing for flavoring/ compounds?

    Very cool. Do you have a favorite vendor you like to use to source these ingredients?

    Labs for testing for flavoring/ compounds?

    No, I haven't. Has this reviewed well? Have you made it before and how close is it? Quick question, I thought actual oils were a big no-no in DIY?

    Labs for testing for flavoring/ compounds?

    Bobas. But there's like 200 pages in a thread where people have tried to clone it and probably another 100 pages on Reddit, and many, many more online in other places. What many of them fail to note is that the ingredients have to be pretty basic old school stuff. Some of the flavors listed in...

    Crud. I need an e-liquid sommelier then. ;)

    Labs for testing for flavoring/ compounds?

    I have kind of an odd ball question and some might even not like that I ask it, but hear me out. ;) I have an unopened 1 year old bottle of a very popular flavor. I have purchased this flavor for years, but now it's been unavailable for months on end. Trouble is, it's been my all day every day...

    Bitter taste invading my mouth

    OP, welcome to my world. ;) For whatever reason, PG and me do not mix. The flavor is chemical, bitter, artificial, and leaves a coating in the back of my throat that lasts for days. Way back when in the brand new days of the vaping industry, the only primary VG flavor out there was ECOpure. That...

    Gem Oro Ultra Sonic Cleaner

    So for those of you who like to keep your clearomizers, atomizers, drip tips, tanks, and other vape related gear clean and good to go without a lot of hassle, I recommend the Gem Oro Spa Pro. I paid for this thing with my own cold hard cash, so you can be sure these are my actual opinions. I...

    Christmas Sale/New Year Sale

    Yup. Which is too bad. I've been a customer of AVE for 5 years. If there were no inventory issues, I would have no need to shop anywhere else. Correct. I do sympathize with AVE to an extent. I am also a small business owner with various vendors we use to make our product. I might let a vendor...

    Iowa DOJ Comes Down In Favor of ecigs/vaping

    Thanks for the shout out. ;) I typically don't purchase the DSM Register, but I thought it was important for people from other parts of the country to see that activism matters and if enough of us speak out, common sense can and will prevail. Color me an optimist but some things just make sense...

    Christmas Sale/New Year Sale

    Any idea of when or even if Bobas is ever coming back? Went to the website to check out the sale offer and there was no update.

    E Cigs Headline Des Moines Register

    I've seen some of that. Funny part is that the items of discussion that the Harvard study has 'brought to life' is stuff we've been discussing in the vape community since I've been a member. I remember 'popcorn flavored' e-liquid being a discussion on these very forums back in 2011 and people...

    E Cigs Headline Des Moines Register

    True, but the AG refuted it, as did local activists. Good headlining article and overall a win for vapers.

    E Cigs Headline Des Moines Register

    Here's a copy of today's Des Moines Register where AG Tom Miller endorses the use of e-cigs to quit smoking. Good job getting this headline and important info out there advocates!

    Halo Belgian Cocoa 6 MG/ML

    It's been a minute or two since I've written a review. I'd pretty much settled into Boba's Bounty as my all day every day vape. However, Alien Visions seems to be having an issue with producing product, so I knew I needed to figure out a back up. Enter Halo, a company I had never tried in 5...

    Vape Moar Review/Reimbursment

    Cool program. You didn't follow their instructions about how to get the reimbursement though ( in this thread at least), so you may not receive reimbursement. The relevant part of the instructions from their website read thusly: "In order to be eligible, reviews must be solely composed of a...

    What were you vaping in 2010 and 2011?

    Oh man, I'd forgotten. I used those for a couple of minutes from V4L in 2010. Their pre-filled cartos were just wretched tasting so I bought the refillable cartos which always tasted like the e-liquid of your choice plus dirty socks. Terrible and expensive experience. Thankfully I found my eGo...

    What were you vaping in 2010 and 2011?

    Basically my story is the same. Different brand names for me, but same philosophy. Just never saw the need to buy into the next latest and greatest when what I had worked okie dokie smokie, ya know?

    What were you vaping in 2010 and 2011?

    Back then, it was an RN 4082 with Dekang e-liquid. I still have that thing somewhere. After that it was an eGo 650 mAh battery with the blue foam atomizer mod. (Anyone remember what a PITA that was?) And finally the eGo 650 mAh battery with a first generation EVOD clearomizer. That's what I...

    Looking for a vendor

    Hi folks, I see that Liberty Flights no longer has a US presence. Since they had always been my go to for batteries and atomizers/ clearomizers I've never had to shop anywhere else. Since I'd rather use a US vendor, do you have any suggestions for a business that's fairly priced, quick...
