Lynn, did you buy this already opened? If so, hopefully from someone you "know"? I dunno, maybe I'm paranoid, but I don't think I'd be inhaling something someone besides the Mfr. had access to. Shame I know, but in this day and age...

Which reminds me. I was at an outdoor bar on Fremont St. in Vegas last week. BIG party, a guy standing at the bar turned to leave, and offered me a big shot of tequila he didn't want. My instant reaction was "oh HELL no" but I put it much nicer. Someone else took it. No free trips to Electric Lady Land for me!

B-B-B-But -- Louis, just think of all the fun you could have missed out on -- being bound and gagged in the trunk of a car, handcuffed and chained in some dank basement somewhere, kept as some monster's sex slave for years . . . shoot, the possibilities are endless!

got this email from Cyclops
Arkansas ACT 1235 (SB978) Shuts Down Online Sales
We regret to announce Cyclops Vapor is no longer able to ship consumer orders into the State of Arkansas due to the passage of ACT 1235 (SB978) which takes effect today, July 21, 2015. The passage of this bill, classifying vapor products as tobacco products, prohibits the sale of eliquid direct to consumer via online channels...

YIKES

Oh shyte. It begins.

I hadn't seen anything about this legislation either. It's very worrisome. I'm a member of casaa and have written my legislators about Maryland laws. Is there anything else we can do?!

The very thought is enough to turn my hair 50 shades of Grey! Has someone been to the movies this week Eleanor?!

Dang! My well steeped billow berry has lost its flavor! Can anyone relate? Blueberry vanilla cake still tastes great however....weird.

I vaped a 10ml sample of Billow Berry over a two-month period, and never tasted any blueberry to speak of. The fruit was very mild, and the cereal taste overwhelmed it.

Yeah bummer big time!

I just finished off a bottle that I ordered when it was released. It was delicious. I've got to order more.

It's not the liquid, it's the ProTank.



Remember when so many people were using those first ProTanks and the most-posted word everyday was "muted"? Just reminiscing.

Oh gosh, I hope I don't have that experience. I loved my sample and ordered a large bottle a month ago. I cracked it open and put it to bed.

That eases my mind considerably.

Lol, now even more so.

Amazing how different palates can be. I just checked on the flA+vorater and I see that while we have similar tastes on some juices, we also have a very negative correlation on many others.

Surprisingly to me, it seems two of my most beloved flavors, Fijian Nights and Sweet Surrender, are real Love it Or Hate it flavors for many. The widest disparities appear to be the NETs, and Caramel Black Tea which I completely understand. And I must be their only customer for Orange Nocturne, which I am again, as often, currently vaping.

But how can you not love Mango Lassi?!

Aw, HECK no!! I just watch /read way too many crime shows/novels!

 

[LynnNC]

I think I'm the lone dissenter here with CPBT and CPWT....I don't like either of them. They're ok in the beginning but as I keep vaping it, I don't know, I seem to start getting an almost fake caramel taste.

 

[LouisLeBeau]

Aw, HECK no!! I just watch /read way too many crime shows/novels!

What?! I took my wife to see it. I learned my lesson LONG ago when I was young and single. The guy in the Apt. across from me was one of the Foxy Frenchmen. Invited me to a show. At first, I was like "What'da ya think I'm GAY?!" He talked me into it. I was there every Friday night after that... Heshootsie!

 

[Katya]

On the Lemon Cream vs. Lemon Vanilla Cake comparison, I find the biggest difference to be after a long steep. For me, I liked Lemon Cream FOOB, but it developed almost an anise-y finish with steeping. And I really dislike anise. I still have a tiny bit left of my 10ml bottle that's around 2 years old. I really, really, really liked the LVC for a while, but then it got super dark with steeping and clogs up a new coil head in less that 2ml vaped.

Yes, yes, yes. Same here... I'm a little bit sad, actually. My Lemon Cream was wonderful FOOB, then not so wonderful.

Oh, well.

Hello, Ahlusionists!

 

[LittleBird]

Orange Nocturne = good stuff . So now we know that AHL sells it to two of us.

Fijian Nights I certainly appreciate. It is a brilliant blend. But after many tries, it's just not something I go back to again and again. My tastes have changed somewhat since most of my entries were made in the spreadsheet. I don't regularly vape any of the teas or the aros anymore. But mango -- like melons and chocolate, for the most part -- I just can't appreciate in a vape, though I love the fruit itself. It's weird.

Yeah, Protanks with burned wicks.

I think ALL clearomizers mute flavor, and so do Kayfuns, though to a lesser extent. But everything's so dependent on the person, the liquid, the power, and probably the temperature in the room and atmospheric pressure, that I don't even get into device discussions anymore, unless I'm forced.

I find that some liquids are better suited to Kayfuns than others. For me, very strong flavors sometimes need a little muting. But there are liquids that have a lot of components, some of which are experienced just around the fuzzy edges of a strong central flavor (or TWO strong central flavors!), and those liquids I can only appreciate fully in a small-chamber atomizer -- a quality 510 preferably, or a rebuildable with restricted airflow. That's me. I'm from Venus and Mann is from Mars, or something.

The ONLY other Chocolate that I've liked from Ahlusion is Chocolate Coconut Almond (Almond Joy?) but I've never re-ordered it. Someday. Glad to hear someone else likes it, but I have to rewick after every 4ml or it tastes burnt. On a fresh wick though, paradise.

I'm with you on the melons. They just don't do it for me. Except for CPBT, I haven't reordered any teas either, although I did like the white teas.

I love the convenience of my Kayfuns, and agree they mute somewhat over a disposable 510 atty. I've never tasted ANYthing as clean as one of those. I don't find much of a taste difference though between a good one and a cheap one. The good ones to me just last longer and hold more with less issues.

I see Mann really getting into the small RDA's. I'd love to try a small chamber RDA like the Hobo. I like my Prometey, it's more pure than the Kayfun, not as pure as a disposable but it has too big of a chamber I think, and only holds a single coil. But man, $80 for an RDA just seems like a LOT (says the guy who buys Velas and Wizards). And after seeing how much juice the single coil prometey can go through, i would imagine those little dual RDA's just RIP through it.

Oooh, that reminds me. I haven't used any of my GG RTA's in a long time. Never used one with Japanese cotton. I might just get those out this weekend and give them a whirl again. Such a pain to build, but maybe better flavor than a kayfun now with good cotton? Hmmm....

Yeah, get an EHPro Atomic clone -- under $20 -- and try it out. After trying every kind of wick and hating them all, I finally found Koh Gen Do cotton, and it is spectacular, by which I mean I can't taste it at all. I remember being there when you bought a GG atty in Chicago!

I'm 90% BF (that doesn't sound too good, does it?), having converted to squonking in the spring. It is astonishing to me how great a difference in flavor there is between attys. I quickly learned that a smallish - though still 22mm - atty with a domed top cap delivers best for me. My favs are the MantaV2, Nectar Micro and Stumpy, in that order. Big air is not my cup of tea. With these attys, I'm experiencing a vibrancy that I hadn't known. It's a great thing that there are so many options available to us . Here's hoping!
