Hey Folks. Still giving thanks over here today, as I finally received my order of several 10ml's from a few weeks back. All bottles are quietly steeping, but one of them was screaming at me when I popped the cap: Pink Label. This stuff is just incredible! I have absolutely NO desire to steep this juice (not that it'll have a chance anyway). Gonna need to order a 30ml of this ASAP.

Has anyone deciphered this blend of fruits yet? Gosh!! I wanna say Peach (or Apricot)?+Strawberry?+Watermelon? I haven't quite figured it out yet (prolly never will). One thing I know for sure is that I can't put it down. Been chain-dripping it for an hour straight!! The sublte creaminess really smooths it out nicely. This is just a great all around juice, and the perfect choice for my first ever non-tobacco juice. Definitely gonna be a mainstay.

I'll be tasting the other flavors over the next few days to get a feel for them. Planning on tasting CPBT tonight if I can convince myself to put this PL down. Still have Maple House, JG Blend, Peachy Criminal, BVC and Spiced Pumpkin Latte to try as well. It's very exciting to have some variety now, since my closet has seen nothing but NET's in the 6 weeks since I started vaping.

Hope you all had a great thanksgiving and enjoyed some time with family. I sure did. :)

My order for this morning (all new to me except Vecchio, which coincidentally means "old" in Italian):

10 ml bottles of:

Apple House
Cherry House
Peach House
JG Blend
Chai Latte (thanks Biz!)

30 ml of Vecchio Blend (strong tob)
Sample requested for Mystic Spice Tea (originally requested W&A Sasparilla, but read the writing on the wall and changed it)

Oh, I get it -- W&A (Wlad and Alley) like A&W (root beer) backwards! Didn't notice that until I typed it out -- clever folks! :laugh:

:offtopic:
Thanks Biz- but I better force myself to stop typing that stuff anyway- haha!

++++ Off topic++++
Oh gosh- I forgot to say THANK YOU for posting the GOT Dec 16th - whooo hoooo! Hubby has read the entire series- but not me - so Im excited I had no idea it was in a couple of weeks!

Dont throw a stick at me - but I have been disappointed by Boardwalk this season - and SHHHHHH I tivo'd last night's episode so no spoilers - but up until Owen the previous week..... kind of slow for Boardwalk Empire - anyone else agree?

I think it had a slow start -- so much so that I almost gave up on it altogether, but it's picked up considerably in the last few episodes.

Television is telling much more interesting stories than movies nowadays IMHO. Game of Thrones,Boardwalk Empire, Boss, The Borgias, Breaking Bad, The Wire, Deadwood....

Totally agree -- they're finally realizing that there's much more potential for character development and intricate plot lines in TV than movies. GOT is great, but I think it suffers from too much adult content (did I just say that? :blink:). The Wire and Deadwood are permanently locked in a dead-heat for my two second favorite TV shows of all time. My favorite? Battlestar Galactica (early 2000s version, not the late 70s original), hands down! Judge if you like; I wear it proudly! Of course I'm not counting Arrested Development, which is in a class of its own.

You wouldn't believe my justification for the ProV. I've ordered 4 Caravela's (COME ON! They make FOUR finishes, and I couldn't decide) and since they use the 18XXX batteries, the Ego's weren't going to work out for all the traveling I do, what with different chargers and all. Sounded good to me when I thought it up. On the other end, it sounded a bit like this: :glare::glare::ohmy: I didn't quit smoking to save money, I did it to save my life. So there. yeah.

Good God, man! Suddenly I feel a lot better about my recent equipment-buying spree! That's got to be one of the awesomest (probably not a word but it should be) things I've ever read on ECF!

So I decided this morning that it was time to get serious and use up some of this stockpile of <A+ juice. Fueled by little sleep and not a insignificant amount of anxiety on top of the beginnings of a cold it -seemed- like a good idea.
Bah.
This isn't BAD juice. In fact at least one tastes really quite good, but at 24mg (labeled) compared to my A+ (thanks for that abbreviation Mr. Mann) at 18mg I'm craving like I haven't in months. I've been using a little under 2 mls a day but today? At least 6, probably more like 7. And yet here I am. Cranky And Unsatisfied.
Sparklecorn out.

Oh believe me, they have it ALL figured out. First you get on the list and you have to wait and wait. So you've made your choices, and next, you see awesome pictures of the configuration you DIDN'T order. The parts are all interchangeable so you can do shiny brass tube with shiny stainless bits, or brushed brass with shiny bits, or brushed stainless with brushed bits....16 possible combinations! And 3 tube lengths for 48 variations! They're adult Lego's!

They're VERY kind about accepting changes and additions to the order. (honestly, Ko4ik and Pedro are genuinely awesome folks) and next thing you know, you're adding this, and changing that. So you think you're all set, and you're waiting... and somebody throws up yet ANOTHER awesome combination of finishes. It just doesn't end. Finally, I was just, hell with it. Get em all and make whatever. On the plus side, only two are coming now and the other two are going to take months. They'll probably figure out more finishes in the meantime. :facepalm: But my God they're gorgeous. And you don't have to pay till they start actually making yours... :facepalm: OK, I'm weak. In a couple of months, they'll be producing the numbered, limited Damascus Steel ones. I'm in deeep trouble.



Heck yes Axolotly! I'm completely in on any Ahlusion field trips! You Suthen folk MIGHT want to wait several months though, it gets a bit brutal up around here. Been relatively nice so far, but it's a coming.

BEE! ...! Wow, fabulous idea! I'd have NEVER thought of that. You could probably make a good living choosing gifts for people!

I'm out on the TV talk. Can't/Don't watch it. No cable in my neighborhood, even Hughesnet or whatever it's called couldn't get a signal through all the trees. If I can't get it with a rooftop antenna, I can't get it. Suits me fine though, the drivel I see on regular TV gives me a headache from all the eye rolling.

On the plus side, I just spent the last 2 hours watching a DVD with my youngest. At 13, she STILL likes to watch movies (and the Simpsons) with her dad, side by side on the couch under a blanket. How lucky am I? She wanted to see something she hasn't watched, and pulled Ferris Bueller's Day Off out of the video library. I haven't watched that in years either, and she LOVED it. I'm just glad we've moved beyond Barbie: Fairytopia. Oy! I can probably recite by heart every movie that has anything to do with princesses. But I have to admit, Ella Enchanted is a favorite of mine. You just wait Mr. Mann, YOU'LL see. And you'll hope it never ends. I'm going to miss that one when College rolls around.

When Galactica was on, I used to tell everybody that it was hands down the best show on Tv but I don't think many of them gave it a chance. Love Boardwalk but it took some getting used to once James Dormody was no longer in the picture. Love Arrested Development and LOVE that everyone got back together to film another season...hurry up Spring of 2013.

I've never watched The Wire or Deadwood so it sounds like I might have a couple new shows to try out.

Oh no -- not Damascus steel!!! I'm a huge sucker for that stuff... That will be one sweet-looking mod! I think I can relate to your Caravela woes, because I've been experiencing something very similar with GG products lately. Base mod isn't cheap, but then there are dozens of tank systems, upgrades, and interchangeable parts. And of course this stuff is never available so you end up hitting "refresh" on the classifieds every 2 minutes and signing up to be notified when in stock everywhere that sells them. Then you start to get anxious when you're unable to check your email for more than a few hours. When you check your inbox and there are no notifications, you check your spam folder just in case, and end up visiting the sites compulsively because you don't have 100% faith that you will in fact be notified.

Anybody have any idea when to expect PINK LABEL to resurface? Or SVC?

(I really love boba w/ honeydew and I KNOW the honeydew wipeout is going to be exceptional! Really happy I got those in today's order.)

Too bad for steeping. I usually do 2-3 days with caps off then caps on for however long I can bear., sometimes a month, sometimes a week, sometime more or less.

The best way to go is to anticipate juice consumption a month in advance and order accordingly. I dream of developing a club deal where you pay to have your favorite juices automatically ordered and sent at predesignated intervals without having to worry about it. So as to sit & relax looking at a half full supply only to receive a re-up'd supply delivered to your door to steep. Rotating in new to mature and not touch until later. I foresee a system like this hopefully in the near future. Paying for a juice plan where they automatically get delivered at set frequencies with less hassles of struggling to place orders. Ugh... life would be a lot easier but best of all the assurance of having a juice supply at all times... Ah I can dream can't I?

Um... sorry. I realized the Ambien has kicked in. I should sleep.

I'm so glad I don't have the gadget compulsion. :p

Can't wait for the new Arrested Development!!! I've been skeptical since I first heard the rumors, but it sounds like it's a done deal! I think a lot of people would really love Battlestar, but sadly probably wouldn't ever watch it just because it's sci-fi. Their loss, I guess. Based on your excellent taste in television programming :), I can say with near certainty that you'll love Deadwood and The Wire. I'm not big into detective dramas, but The Wire totally blew me away and at some point you can't even classify it as such. I do enjoy westerns, but Deadwood completely reinvented the genre for the better (unless you count Sergio Leone westerns).

Got my Jazz Cartopipe today, by the way, but I haven't put it through its paces yet.

Oh, I was once like you... Treat Mouiex and me as cautionary tales! My best advice would be to not get certified in the classifieds if you aren't already. That was the beginning of the end for me!

And avoid that MarcK73 guy at all cost! ^^^^ :laugh:

I heard Fonzie being interviewed about a month ago for something else that he was filming but the whole time he kept drifting back to the Arrested Development episode they had just shot. That was the first time that I believed the "new episodes" rumors.
And yes, I know that he has a real name but he will always be The Fonz!

I haven't tried a tobacco juice in a couple of years. I gave up the search after quite a few bad ones that reminded me of burning plastic more than tobacco. Due to Mann's generousity I'm about to see to see the progress that has been made during my hiatus. Something tells me that if my Ahlusion orders start switching over to tobaccos, a pipe might be in my near future. Seems like a natural fit...at least that's how I'll justify the purchase.:)

Ah, that's great news about Arrested Development!

Hahaha! Yeah, having some Blue Grass Burley out of my friend's Jazz was what finally convinced me to get one -- A+ tobaccos are that good! Hard to say if Mann's actually doing you a favor or not! :laugh:

I have to admit, Tez has caught it BAD. I haven't resorted to rummaging my spam folders yet. :p ;)

Buy a GG -- they'll make a spam-rummager out of you yet!

I'll let you know when they open the list for those Damascus ones. They'll be gorgeous, I'm sure. Most of the guys over there are GG fanatics too. Pedro is just now starting to make prototype RBA's and drip tanks for the Caravela. The drip tank is supposed to be a new method to hold about 1.5ml, and have a true drip, not a pierced atty. Not sure how it's going to work, and he's keeping it under wraps until it's been fully tested, but I've seen pics of the prototype, and of course, it's beautiful, and matches the mod perfectly. I've become hooked on dripping, which is impossible in the car, so I'm watching with keen interest. I'll have to see the RBA before I even think about that. I've already picked up an AC9, and can't see a need for another RBA. I mostly wanted it for the car anyway, and I think that drip tank is going to solve that problem.
