Thread news: I just wanted to drop an initial word that I met Moueix today for coffee and some juice trades (he gave me waaay more ;)). That is the first vaper that I ever met, the first person on the forum I ever met, and it's all because of this thread. We had a great conversation (it ran a little long though, sorry :blush:) and I became even more happy to be a member of the our ensemble here.

SUPER hectic day, but I just had to drop in and set the record straight on this VERY slanted perspective of generosity. First, Mr. Mann is even more affable, charismatic and delightful in person than he seems on this forum, and that is saying a LOT. It was truly a pleasure to meet you Mr. Mann, and I look forward to our paths crossing as soon, and as often, as possible.

Second, Not only did Mr. Mann give me ALL of the rest of his beloved Mimosa (extra champagne) because I expressed interest in it, he also gave me samples of Devil Dog and Blue Grass Burley, which I NEVER would have bought for myself, as I don't like tobacco. I asked him if he would mind so I could see what the fuss was. Turns out, my wife is actually quite fond of the lighter colored of the two, but I don't know which that one is. I'm ordering some for my crew, but it looks like I'm going to have to cut a portion for my wife as well.

There really wasn't much discussion about Vaping, Ahlusion, mods or any such thing because far more generous of him was the advice and wisdom he shared with me about my Freshman daughters choice of college, a venerable and renowned fine arts school here in Detroit which also happens to be Mr. Mann's Alma Mater. First hand affirmation of the quality of the school and the program she has chosen, which allays a great many of those paternal concerns and fears we all know in raising our children, and tips and advice for succeeding at that school as well, and for that, I owe him a debt of gratitude that can't be measured in juice, not even Ahlusion's. I'm happy to hear he was happy with the exchange. I can't wait to have more time to spend with this very intelligent and personable guy at the new Cafe. Oh, and I vaped the living DAYLIGHTS out of that Mimosa today. It's superb!

Thanks, M! Tell your wife the bottle with the red dot on the cap is Devil Dog. Man, you got me cracking up over here with, "Oh, and I vaped the living DAYLIGHTS out of that Mimosa today!" :lol:

p.s. You got my day started off proper and because of that, I managed to get so much more accomplished today than I had planned. It really was an honor to meet you.

Hm, I messaged Ahlusion with questions about 4-5 days ago through their site and still no response. Disappointing. :(

This isn't typical. I guess they've been having some difficulties with their server lately. Under normal circumstances their turn-around time is amazing. You might try again in case it got buried.

I'm not KIDDING! I had an aresenal of stuff with me, as I was hanging with my son all day (that's a fancy way of saying I moved a BUNCH of his stuff, he LIED to me Mr. Mann!) and knew I'd need backups, but that dripper and that Mimosa didn't leave my hands until I got home tonight! That stuff is the SHIIIIIZZZZZ!!! (ooops, sorry Lisa). I'm going to have to make sure I have some for New Years!

Which is precisely why I gave you what I had! Drip, drip pass. :rolleyes: If I were you, I'd buy a bottle (a big bottle) toward the beginning of December -- just pop the top way before New Years. ;)

Man, I have had a bad case of the typos ever since I got called out that one day!

Look, I can understand this sentiment (well, not from this vendor). I generally leave messages for every site I visit -- it's how I do-- but I only receive messages back about 20-25% of the time. It surely doesn't make me want to go back to the site in those cases of feeling snubbed. Sorry you got skipped over, or that some technical glitch prevented you the opportunity from seeing what it is that makes me so confident in rocking my signature.

Only because it is my main hobby, A little about Champagne. The appellation (region) is about 90 miles NE of Paris. The two primary grapes are Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, although there are 4 others allowed in the blend. The driest is called " Extra Brut" and the sweetest is called "Demi-Sec". An all-Chardonnay Champagne is a "Blanc de Blanc" and an all-Pinot Noir Champagne is "Blanc de Noir", but they're usually blended together. Rose champagne is typically made by leaving the wine on the black-purple Pinot Noir skins for some time to absorb some color from the skins.

It is vinified as a still wine, and then yeast and sugar are added to the bottle ("method Champenois") although the cheap stuff is refermented in tanks, and it is tightly capped to allow a second fermentation, which gives the wine it's fizz. The bottles are then "riddled", stood in racks bottom up to allow the yeast and sediments ("lees") to settle into the neck. They then dip the necks of the bottles in liquid nitrogen to solidify the sediment and remove the caps to extract the frozen sediment. "Dosage" is added to the wine, sugar really, which determines how dry the finished wine is, and it is then finally corked and caged.

Flavors range from citrus (lemony), pear, green apple, and even strawberry fruits (in the case of Rose) and include a biscuit or bread, and sometimes even a nutty flavor and aroma from the lees. Last but not least, it is the creation of God Himself and tastes like it. There is no better wine on the face of this earth. That last part is opinion, mine and many others.

The occasional liberty is acceptable, however baby talk and role playing will not be tolerated.
Thank you and carry on.

Ah, Thank you. Then it is the Blue Grass Burly that was the favorite of her and I. The DD had a hint of flavor that the better palate (hers) called chlorine, and while I didn't think that was a nail, it wasn't too far off. I can certainly see why Wlad suggested the Aromatics for the hardest core smokers who want to vape something that screams tobacco. The BGB is more like a luxuriant Nat Sherman or Gauloises for richness than any off the shelf cigarette, and in that, I found a little pleasure myself. Sherman's Hint of Mint took many a minutes off my life clock.

This. Moeuix does it again.

I can completely understand where that sense of DD comes from, even though it is still on my tops list. Oh Nat Sherman, you were my one of my friends, but I can no longer let you in. :(

Are we thinking of the same hardware vendor whose subforum I can hardly bear to visit because it's been completely overrun by animals with Jar Jar Binks affects? We can never let that happen here!

Yes, yes we are. I can hardly get three posts in and I'm ready to start stabbing the nearest available flesh with a sharpened slurpee straw. Even if that flesh is my own thigh.

Will you adopt me? :D Puh-leeeeeze? :D

Clearly I have led a sheltered life. What is a "Jar Jar Bink"? :confused:

Moueix, this is probably below you but have you ever tried sparkling Shiraz? WOW. That stuff is tasty but wicked. If you ever wanted the headache of Champagne and the hangover of red wine, conveniently combined in one delicious beverage, Sparkling Shiraz is for you! :D
