Curiouser and Curiouser. I texted Mann earlier to PLEASE stop using his super Mentat powers to shutdown ECF, and minutes later, it was back up and running. I think there's more to this than he is letting on!

LOL...I almost sent the exact same text to Mr.Mann today....but then some work ordeal pulled me away, and then I had my work holiday party tonight and I am just getting home. I swear...ECF can be down for hours, and I can be gone for a few hours after that, and I still have at least 10+ pages of reading to do just to get caught up! So forgive me if there are multiple posts from me as I get through everything and hit reply along the way...I will do my best not to be obnoxious with it though. lol

I see the hours and that they will close Dec 10 for the holidays but I've never seen a message to keep my orders limited? Oh well, I just hope they have a chance to get caught up with orders and opening their cafe and can take some actual down time for the holidays as they sure deserve it.

OH NO...so does this mean they are already closed for the holidays...or the 10th is the last day they will be open? Since they are closed on Sat & Sun...and the 10th is Mon...I am in panic mode....I really need to get one more order in if I am going to last until Jan. I seriously cannot and probably will not vape anything else at this point. (Granted I have plenty of other juices...quite frankly i just don't want them) lol

 

[daniele25]

If you reorder, you should ask Wlad for extra carbonation. I just want to see what his response would be. I'm going to try my Sasparilla tomorrow. It's only had 2 days since the caps went back on but all of this chatter has me wonderin'. You're like the anti-Eleanor. I picture a brawl in your not too distant future.

I would like to see one of those Celebrity boxing match ordeals between Eleanor the Steeptress Savant, and Mo the Cradle Robbing Youngin juice Vapester....the soundtrack for that could be amazing as well. lol

 

[daniele25]

Well, we have THAT in common. All the love that went towards Pink Label, and I wonder what the fuss is about. To my tastes, it is nondescript. I'm hanging on to some, in the hopes that time makes it something different. Fijian Nights continues to amaze me. I was a little disappointed in it when it was new, the picture looked so promising. Now, it just gets better every day. I've been sucking it down like a madman.

I've been seeing it for years, but it still astounds me how subjective flavors are. One mans caviar is another mans brussel sprouts. Wait, I like both of those things...

LLJR, NOT going to happen. I have WAY too much respect for Eleanor, and she has WAY too much class and dignity to brawl. But if it comes down to it, better hedge that bet, Tez, because I don't see Eleanor fighting dirty...

Uggh...I am SO sorry for all of these repeat posts....but I am reading through a LOT this evening! Mo...I had a feeling Fijian Nights might come around for you....it really is such an amazing flavor, but it changes dramatically, and quite frankly..doesn't even taste like the same juice from week 1 to week 3-4 and beyond. A really dramatic evolution with that one, and I love it,

CPBT is one of my top 2 juices of all time....but whats funny, is I know where Wonderland is getting the "celery" taste. It changes up so often....that in those puffs where its switching up on me, and one flavor is fighting for the spotlight while another sits back, and vice versa....I can see a taste that could be described as celery come through. I still love it....but know where you are getting that from.

I'm not here to bag on Provape, but I find it kind of ridiculous. All kinds of warnings in the email about how if the RMA form is not filled out properly and attached, or packaged properly, etc. it would be just returned, and at my expense. My order number is right there in my emails. I didn't buy it anywhere else but direct from Provape on Black Friday, they have to know that by my order number. I reported the problem 3 days after I received it.

God knows I better not send it without signature confirmation of receipt, and full insurance. I'm not going to have a cow yet, it should be clear to them when they inspect it that they mailed me a defective unit. I'll wait and see how they handle it then. Maybe they're just stressed out from the Black Friday and Cyber Monday rush. The silver lining is I thought I could give away all my Ego stuff, but I can see now I better hang on to at least some of those as backups. I'm sure I won't see it for a week or more. Note to self: Sh** happens. Note to hopeful son: Sh** happens.

As a funny aside, my tracking info says my Provari Mini is currently in Romulus. Isn't Biz's juice there too?

HA! The Romulans finally released my juice yesterday, after FOUR DAYS. And it's a good thing, too. Otherwise I might have had to violate the Neutral Zone treaties.
(I'm sure everyone else is relieved, because I can finally drop the Trek schtick.)

It does actually say that, after you sadly click "more information" and are taken to the store hours page:

Holiday Hours:

Our ordering system will be closed after December 10 or sooner *.

* All times and dates are subject to change due to order load. Please try to keep orders to a minimum.

But truly, I didn't mean to introduce myself on this thread by kvetching mean-spiritedly about the obviously unexpected and overwhelming success of what sounds like a very top notch vendor.
I'm a grown up girl and I can wait, she murmured uncertainly.
They sound like such nice, devoted, hard-working people, and they surely deserve some rest, she sobbed penitently.
There will be other nice Christmas presents, she hiccupped bravely.
I will hum myself a liddle consoling hum, she announced brightly:

Laura have you tried pink label? I wasn't real excited about it but am letting it sleep a little before I give up on it. I am really missing my Boba tea w caramel and BVC but they are on their way. I also will be trying JG blend and smooth criminal.

I didn't care for Pink Label at first either but after 4 weeks I vaped through the sample in 3 days.

I haven't tried Boba Tea with Caramel yet. I love it plain, chocolate, coconut, and with watermelon so far. I get a new flavor with every order. I'm still not sure about the coffee and I have honeydew on the way.

I wish that were true of other vendors. Of 6 60ml bottles of another vendor that are 3 months old, only ONE doesn't taste tired. And that's only because it's Oreo Cookie on Steroids.

How long does Boba Tea Plain need to steep? It's 4 weeks old, and I'm not getting much love...

I loved it from the first day. I don't think it's going to get any better.

I loved Fijian Nights from the start but I still don't taste any pineapple! To me it is cream and spices.

Pink Label...what can I say. It's not just a juice to me. It goes beyond eliquid. It's comfort vaping at it's finest in my Vmod. It's the one thing that stands between me slapping the lady on her cellphone in front of me when I am trying to get my groceries through the checkout line. It soothes my inner raging b--erm..beast..yeah, let's go with that one. It's my zen. It's my nirvana. It's the one juice that I NEVER want to be without. It's berries and melons and a 'tich' of cream. If my husband liked it and vaped the last of it..a beatdown could ensue. I am short..but I am mighty.

That all being said, I can see why maybe it wouldn't quite appeal to everyone. I'm lying..I don't get it..but I am good with it..because that means at the beginning of the New Year when Ahlusion opens its doors...Pink Label will be mine....all mine.

While I'm happy you're getting your juice, Biz, I do love Star Trek (just the original, though) and I'll miss the schtick!

Aubergine, you have great taste in music -- love Tom Waits!

 

[Moueix]

goooood MORNING VIETNAM!!! Hello to all my fellow Ahlusionati, secret handshakes and Words By Which We Shall Know Each Other all around. Biz, your Trek Schtick will always be Tres Chic in the company of admiring fellow geeks and nerds. Trek on.

Aubergine, your sweet and inspired post caught me off guard. I almost forgot that you needed no formal introduction to this group, having been so warmly received by our own Mann of taste and style. Any friend of his...

Tez, Great minds do think alike. Not only that, but sometimes I get to think like you too!

Bukket, that would be bad news on the Boba's, except I safely chose it as my 10ml sample. Perhaps I shall try it in the Lychee form and find more joy. Perhaps I am just, as Wlad put it, seasonally dehydrated and under appreciating several of these juices. More water.

D25, CPBT's Jekyll and Hyde routine seems to be settling for me into more of a Heckle and Jive. Not sure if that delights or disappoints me, but I am looking forward to the eventual re-order and Round Two with that Devil in a Blue Dress.

Oh, and Monkey, "I am short..but I am mighty." may be a Guinness Book of World Records contestant for shortest and most succinct Autobiography ever written.

I have a "To Do" list today that starts with Christmas cards to clients, and includes establishing the safe whereabouts of our own Axolotly. Please group, do check in once in awhile. Allowing others to come to know you and learn your charms does carry a certain amount of responsibility. Hint, Hint, RobinO. And wherefore Art Thou, Scarf?

Despite a bait pile humungous, there has been nibble naught from Eleanor. I hope you are well today Eleanor!

 

[newbie2ec]

I dont like it when people go missing either Mo....makes me worry!

I think this thread is as unique & amazing as our favorite juice vendor and I love THAT!

I have to report I tried the Grape Vine ( yup Mo wins on young working for this one! ) and I tried the Smooth Criminal as even Eleanor gave that a young nod - whoa.... tasty tasty stuff! I am a happy camper this weekend - but still fear not getting my CBI ordered on Monday - all limbs crossed - I dont care when I get it.... but knowing the order was placed and it is in Wlad and Alley's hands- is all I need!

[skydragon]

Seldom.....in fact never, have I read every post in a thread when I get behind. Until now. Seriously, I did. Every one from where I had left off. And might I say...........you are a funny and articulate lot. Me? Not so much but I still enjoy it when I see it. =)

My order should be here soon I think. I did notice another mess up. I ordered two bottles of Vecchio and only 10 mls of Smooth Criminal. I'm thinking they might be hoping I never order from them again. They have to be wondering about my ability to think.

I promise W&A............I am not normally this bad.

 

[skydragon]

I have a ton of backups - I've been noticing that the batteries for my Provari are barely lasting two hours (and that's with switching off and on between my egos). I bought two new batteries and the same thing is happening. Can't figure out what the problem is.

And yes, there are certainly worse things in life that could happen, and maybe it is the rush of Black Friday/Cyber Monday - you may have just got one of their employees on a bad day

Funny about the mini being in Romulus with Biz's juice! haha

I had the same problem and quite by accident came upon a link with instructions on cleaning the contact?. What you do is clean the contact? where the battery meets inside the tube with a long q-tip and alcohol. Yes, I know, my technological knowledge of vaping terms is known far and wide. I remember seeing where someone put a regular sized q-tip in the end of a pen cartridge or something since most of us don't have long q-tips. Although I do so if you need some, let me know.

I am trying to find the link that might help you more than my description.

 

[skydragon]

I finally found this although it isn't the same I had read but pretty much the same info. I don't know if you ever checked your batteries to see if they are actually drained or just the flashing.

My LED is flashing rapidly like its out of power but my battery is fully charged. What should I do?

There are a couple of things that can cause this to happen.

1. If any of the contacts are dirty and the battery is not able to supply enough power because of a weak connection it can cause the light to flash rapidly. Its best to clean the tops of your batteries often and once a week clean the contact down inside the ProVari. You can clean the small metal contact inside that the battery positive touches with a long Q-Tip and some isopropyl. Rub the pin for a good 20-30 seconds to make sure you get any dirt and grime off and you can also use the isopropyl on the battery tops and bottoms to get them nice and clean.

2. Make sure you are using the correct battery. The AW high drain red battery is the one we recommend because it has a high output capacity and a low internal resistance. All protected batteries like the trustfire cells and other brands have a protection circuit that limits the output of the battery which can cause issues. If you are already using the AW batteries, try cleaning all the contact points and see if that helps. Make sure you are not using old batteries. Rechargeable batteries should be replaced every three months as they wear out.

 

[lauragal]

If you are vaping an SR at a higher voltage, your batteries will drain super fast, especially if you got 18350s. When I vape LR at 3.7v, I get "long time." LOL

If you go past 4.2+, you will decrease the battery life. That is one of the good things about keeping it low or just using LRs.

I am at 3.7 with LR 1.8 ohms ohms - I can't believe that the two new batteries I bought are also a problem. I used to get a day out of them. The only thing I can think of is that when I recharge the batteries, I leave them in the charger plugged into the wall, when their not being used. Maybe I'm ruining the batteries by leaving them in there.

 

[skydragon]

Well, I just went to browse around and found the "wish list" that I thought was what I had ordered.

I now realize that it was Car-Mal Mambo that I somehow lost (I know it was me) in the actual order. I am bummed. I really wanted to try that. I sure hope they are open on Monday.

Sometimes my stupidity annoys even myself.
