Oh..and Tez...to answer your question, I decided to go with the Phoenix Bully to start out.

That's the perfect choice for a first rebuildable! It's a fairly easy rebuild, cheap, and should give you a good idea if you're up for more complicated RBAs or not.

That's exactly what I heard..and I watched a few videos and it seemed easy enough. Plus i noticed a lot of the vendor sites sell the premade wicks & coils....so even if I'm not comfortable with making my own coils, I can always get some of those and just replace them. I think am most nervous about making my own coil.

Mr.Mann says, read what D25 wrote. I thought about this question and upon reading D25s answer, I found everything I was going to say.

I was going to say something along the lines of a tart sparkling cider without the cider-ness. In a nutshell, the difference between champagne and sparkling wine is region. Technically speaking, champagne is a sparkling wine that solely comes from a certain region of France. A champagne that comes from any other region is called sparkling wine. ;)

p.s. I could't do the Eleanor blue quote for the parts of your message that I wanted to reference because I would've had your entire quote in blue.

The stronger champagne option gives you exactly what it says. I don't get much of any fruits added, but I was more interested (this time) in seeing how well Wlad worked with the champagne itself. The champagne is a tad dry, tart and ever so slightly sweet. And yes, there is an effervescence to the juice. The champagne jumps out of the bottle after a week and a half + beyond -- it won't mellow out, but intensify.

Thanks Mr.Mann...and great info here!

I think one key word that I did not mention that Mr.Mann did was "tart", I think there is typically some tartness with champagnes, and i can see how that would translate over into the vape. Plus..in the description it mentions a hint of lime (at least in the original mimosa recipe) so could be a combination of things there. I'd assume that even if the fruits are changed up, to still expect that "tartness" from the champagne.

And some more champagne trivia for everyone, or I should say, sparkling wine trivia. Like Mr.Mann mentioned...champagne is from that specific region of France...sparkling wine from Italy is called Proseco. :) And I could just be biased on this being 100% Italian....but I typically like the taste of Proseco better than most champagnes. :)

The Land of Confusion
I am not really a huge fan of alcohol itself.

It is actually SO nice to hear someone else say this - because sometimes I think my husband and I are the only two adults who feel this way!

You guys are pretty evil. I'll think I have my wishlist all set up for the next couple of orders, then one of you gets excited about a juice and talks it up, and suddenly I'm all OMG MUST TRY NAOW

I do the EXACT same thing. I didn't really have a great desire to try Pink Label. However, you will notice it was on the order I placed tonight. The same thing with SVC. I have been around y'all long enough to know you won't lead me wrong. AND if by some bizarre fluke I didn't like them I know I will be able to find ample takers/trade partners.

I'll add a little more EVIL to the party...and just say O-M-G how I LOVE my Boba Tea w Honeydew. And this, and Pink Label are insane FOG machines...these are at 50/50....full of flavor, and super thick, dense, awesome clouds. I don't even have some of the more advanced devices that you guys use. I'm still on the Twists and Vivi Novas. But man this stuff is awesome!!!

Tart..you know, I think a huge part of me has been looking for this for a while, but I didn't realize it until I saw these last few posts. I love the Pink Label because there is always a tart and sweet about it that just takes vaping to a different level for me (more often tart than sweet..and that's a great thing). The same thing with the Blueberry Vanilla Cake...the blueberries are sweet and tart in equal measure. Another thing I notice with my Strawberry Vanilla Cake, even though the cake is rich and creamy, the strawberries balance it out with a sweet/tartness that appeals to me. I'm vaping it this evening, keep each breath deep and measure so I can follow every subtle twist and turn the juice takes from strawberries to cake and back to strawberries again. It's why I am so looking forward to the Canyon Sun and trying the Stardust.

A bottle of Brut..eh? My kids and husband might look at me like I have grown a second head when I pop this in the shopping cart..but I will definitely give this a go. As I have gotten older, I have gotten away from the world of sodas and moved towards flavored carbonated waters and plain water with Mio. Even my coffee throughout the day has no sugar..just the tad bit of creamer or cream. Amazing how our palettes and likes change over the years.

Ok....while you are filling the shopping cart...I HIGHLY suggest these drinks, i believe the brand is "IZZE", they are carbonated, but no sugar, just natural fruits added. The blackberry ones reminds me of my oh so refreshing cranberry & seltzer mix....but the really amazing one is the Tangerine flavor. SO good! They come in large glass bottles, or I believe packs of small cans. I've only tried the glass bottle ones...but they are SUPER yummy. If you like your carbonated drinks, check them out. I don't drink soda at all....but these things remind me moreso of juice with seltzer, amazing IMO.

CORRECTION: It's not tangerine, its actually Clementine

I'm not sure if you guys remember the SRS BIZNESS situation I have going on over here re: crooked labeling.

Well... I happened to get a little pictorial update of my latest order, pre-shipment.

I love, love, love IZZE! While there is no sugar added, there is still up to 30 carbs (sugar) from the fruit. It isn't necessarily a non-sugar drink, just a non-sugar added drink (think apple juice). Being that it is fructose (fruit sugar), it has a low glycemic index (won't cause insulin to spike), but too much of it can cause problems with the liver. The liver has a hard time metabolizing an excess amount of fructose and that will cause the release of fats into the bloodstream.

So, if I had my druthers, I would drink one IZZE over any "soda" (regular or diet), but I would keep it to one.

Wait, this isn't the bodybuilidng.com forum? Oops, sorry. :blush:

I actually prefer the bottle on the right, because my Ahlusion juice spends most of it's time with THAT label "right side up".

That's funny...As long as Wlad's pranks stay on the outside of the bottle:)

Mr.Mann captures my missing keyword yet again..yes, its no sugar ADDED. Its definitely not just like drinking carbonated water....(which is probably why they taste so dark good!!) But very yummy nonetheless! I grab one of the glass bottles every now & again...super refreshing little beverage though.

I get a IZZE whenever I eat at Chipotle. Love'em but don't know that I could drink more than one at a time for that reason. They make me feel like I'm mainlining the fruit directly into my bloodstream.
