Dino, that Smokjoy N-Fire Max is absolutely gorgeous. I SO wish it went higher than 12 watts. Best looking regulated device I've seen IMO. Unfortunately I almost never go down to 12w. :(

Can't wait to have a shopping spree this Sunday. :D Other than the DNA 30 box mod and the MVP2, what box mods do you have in the store?

dykaliscious, I was backreading this thread and noticed you posted something about slim's ejuice. They are the first vendor I ever ordered from (not that it's been long--I've tried maybe 5 total in 4 months of vaping) and I was struck by their low pricing and massive flavor range & customization.

I hope it isn't considered rude to discuss this here... You are the only one ever I've heard mention this company, and I've really looked and even asked on ECF about it. Please feel free to respond in PM if I'm making a faux pas.

OK, so, I 'liked" them on FB to get the discount before I knew a thing about them (shameless participation in rampant consumerism/commercialism, yes) and tried some flavors. Butterscotch first--
and it was absolutely disgusting.

However, after 4 weeks of waiting, all that nasty, plasticky, chemical-ly unvapeableness has changed into something rather nice.

Heartened, I ordered some more 10ml sizes in a sample pack. Pretty much the same thing happened to these (with a couple of exceptions)--they were gross at first and transformed (over an unbearable amount of time) into at least OK flavors.

The exceptions I mentioned went two ways: a few flavors (Godfather, a sweet-cream vanilla custard blend and Unicorn, a jungle-mix of candied fruit), were possible to vape within a much shorter time period. One flavor (blue moon) just never got any better.

My question is, what do you think of them? Also, is that a normal wait-period to get something vapeable? Is it indicative of crazy chemicals being used in the process or something else scary? I am not against artificial flavors as such-- I just don't want them doing a destructive jig in my sinuses.

Ah, me. My unofficial motto: "Why use one word when twenty will do?" I would appreciate any feedback from anyone who cares to contribute on any of the issues raised--specific OR general. Being a newbie, i need all the help I can get when making judgments about this stuff.

So my experience after two or three orders was that at first I really liked their juice. I didn't care for their customer service or packaging as a bottle broke open labels, fell off etc and then I learnd this guy runs his shop out of his garage. troublesome at first but after researching some more he adamantly claims he does everything to appropriate standards. I'm impressed with the flavor range. I haven't had any problem with steep time. it's been real good stuff right out of the bottle and I thank he is on to something with some of this flavors. I think he might be full of .... in some areas including his claim he's the best, his ego, and his prices. But of all the companies I've tried I would put his near the top in some areas though he comes nowhere close to Madtown. Both the customer service and the packaging has improved.

Not into the 26650 mods. Is it the size you don't like?

I'm loving my 26650 mods. They are so stable standing upright, and have a long battery life. Got my Big Buddha on one of mine, full of 10ml of Lemon Pound cake, and really enjoying it!

They may not be stealth, but when you need something to last all day, they are great!

Well I want a 26650 as part of my collection. Already have a set picked out-mod+atty. The price is scary lol.

The toppers are full now. This photo was taken right after I added a little juice and tested them for leaking. It's a Kryptonite with Big Buddha and Lemon Pound cake, and a Chi Megan with a Fogger 4, (soon to be the big fogger 4), with Pineapple Upside Down Cake.

in my opinion...if the juice isn't good right away it's not going to get much better over time....not to say that sometimes steeping doesn't help....but all that steeping really does is just help the flavors meld more together (nothing that a lot of shaking can't do ;) )

I didn't have the same experience of needing steep time. I've enjoyed them right at the mailbox.

I've found the same thing. I've gotten some that were really chemical smelling and tasting. They got a little better over time, but never tasted good like Dino's do. I've had other juices that were horrible after just a week or two. I've only had one that turned into something really good.

I've found that with Dino's juices, they start out good and stay that way. I've never gotten a chemical or perfume taste with his juices, and a month later, they are still just as good as when they are fresh.

The worst was high desert vapes. Every bottle tasted like nail polish remover. I tried everything. Heat steeping, long term, shake shake shake. Just tasted foul. Waste of $. It was a great sale so I was hoping with their huge selection of flavors I truly wanted (jackfruit for one) it was gonna work. I gave them to someone who didn't know better ;-)
