IMHO, Grape Vine needs no steeping. It is just a tiny bit more tart out of the gate, but very, very enjoyable. Some vapes, I like as much, maybe even better, BEFORE the steeping. Until Eleanor gets back on her feet, I'm going to vape at least a ML of each just to give me some reference, and improve my feedback. If I prefer the taste of the unsteeped over the steeped, Wlad can likely adjust the mix to give me the unsteeped flavor AFTER the steep. It's all about getting those crosshairs sighted in perfectly.

I heard that. :glare::laugh:

'Tis true that I fell in love with SC when he was yet a Juvenile Delinquent. :oops:

Speaking of the wonders of steeping . . . (ahem) . . . One of my first orders was the Mystic Spice Tea (dob 9/04/12). After my requisite cap-off + additional 3 weeks, I found it very pleasant, yet nowhere near the "Wowza!" factor of CPBT or GAT.

Well, today I was hunting for a juice that would nicely compliment my hot Lady Grey tea, and I stumbled across the remaining 15-20mls of my Mystic Spice, now nicely aged to nearly 3 months.

Oh baby!! :hubba::hubba: This juice is now perfect, and goes just perfectly with lemony/orangey spiced teas!! :wub:

Thank you Wlad and Alley!!

Now tell me Mo- how long on the W&A????? Who am I kidding, I will be sucking back the others - so one can steep for a while (wink wink Eleanor)

Sasparilla is without a doubt, another one that I will always use right away. The fizzy character I love about it is brightest when it first arrives. Other than that, I'm not noticing a lot of difference in the character from brand new, in the 15 days I've been pulling on it. Could be that since I'm vaping it daily, the subtle changes are going unnoticed, but I loved it right away, and still do.

Well then, GOOD MORNING Sunshine! Or afternoon, as it were. I'm going to use your endorsement of the young Smooth Criminal to vape a little of the Peachy Criminal that arrived on my doorstep a half hour ago. Mmmm... Smooth Coug... er.. Criminal Juice.

Going to try my Sasparilla tonight then, been letting it steep.

Isn't it crazy that the steep seems to not reach a point and level off? That is not to say that some may like a juice more at a specific point, but the steep continues as long as you are in possession of the juice.

Whoa.... Peachy Criminal is NOT what I expected. I expected a cigarette like taste with peach. OK. It's new, and I'm not really getting peach, but it tastes a lot more like an RY4 than a cig with peach. Is that normal?

EXPERT ALERT! I need some advice. I'm a dripping fool. I take my drip tips off the atty's to drip, and yeah, it's being kinda tough on the o-rings. But I just popped a new Cherry Vape tip from Ahlusion on. That thing is a STRUGGLE to take back off. I believe the intention of a drip tip, is to drip right INTO the tip, but man, I just HATE the taste of juice in my mouth. I can't imagine it doesn't happen if you're dripping right through the tip. So what say ye, seasoned veterans? And if I do, how do I count the drops?

Also, I'm loving the ProV. It's kinda cool to screw something different on, check the ohms quick, reset the volts and go. Also, like Mr. Mann says, if that baby starts falling off the table, I'm a let it FALL. It could take a toe off! And this is the MINI! I'm not really digging the 350 batteries though. It's kinda like going back to a 650Mah ego. I get half a day, tops. Fortunately, and when does THIS ever happen?, Provape threw an 18500 extension in with my order, and I didn't even order one! Musta been a bonus for those two chargers I bought. Normally, I'd fess and offer to return but I know that thing doesn't cost them as much to make as it would cost me to send it back, so I'm going to take the easy out and just keep my mouth shut. Ooops. Anyway, I can't wait for Wlad to restock the IWR 18490's, or better the MNKE's, and enjoy a little battery life while around the house. I used to only use the VV ego passthrough at the computer, no battery, but I prefer this little ProV too much.

Edit: Oh yes, I emailed Provape and pointed them to the Kir Fanis thread on that other forum, where he is making an 18650 tube for the mini. I asked them if it might be possible for them to think about doing this for the mini, so I could keep my color consistent. I was told "There has been a lot of interest" and "It may be available very soon". :dancingelephants:

I love my ProV, best trade for an old iPod ever!

I have tips that are much wider than the standard drip tips for direct dripping. I find most are not wide enough to use in that manner. It is easier though if you use a needle top bottle for your standard tips. You can get much smaller drops that way. The other factors are my spasms and pain can make me very shaky at times, so the wider tips and the needle tip are needed at those times.

Hey Mo, when the battery starts to cause the blink, you can take it out and put it back in for a little extra time before its all out (at least it works for me).

Thank you for the ProTip Mr. Mann!

If I only had a penny for every juvenile deliquent I fell in love with back in the day...... LOL

THAT's funny, Daniele.

Yes, Peppermint Mocha is absolutely wonderful. It doesn't have a coffee flavor to me, it tastes like a peppermint patty. Very creamy and the mint isn't overpowering. I wasn't expecting to like it, just ordered it to try something different, but I tore right through a 30 ml bottle.

YAY!! This is EXACTLY what I was wanting to hear about this juice. I've found I am not really liking coffee vapes much anymore...I still love to drink it, but not so much on vaping it. I thought the Tiramisu was a little too much coffee...for my liking anyway....so I was hesitant on the Peppermint Mocha....but sounds like its the peppermint & mocha that really shine here...which is awesome.

I'm also one of those women who would rather get tattoo's, motorcycle gear, tools, video games or gadgets than typical girly stuff!

I'd rather have gadgets or anything that has to do with computers so my husband has about given up. I try mentioning things throughout the year and he rarely picks up on it. I'm of the firm belief that if you really want something then speak up! This year I want the TiVo Premier XL4 and a TV for the bedroom. I'm tired if staring at Mom's 3 paintings. I love them but I've been looking at em for so long I'm ready to swap them out. I have a houseful of them.

My husband thought he would finally get to surprise me last year. He went down to pick up a prescription for me and stopped and bought me this beautiful diamond necklace that I had been eyeing. The credit card company sent me an email alert since the price was over the amount I had set and I already knew before he got home. LOL. He came home and planned to hide it but I met him at the top of the stairs and said, "Where is it?".

Crept out of bed at 6:30. Wifey said "Whaaarryou going?". "Ahlusion" was all I said. The look of confusion on her face as she passed out instantly had me chuckling all the way up the stairs. Needless to say I got an order in and I am cranky no more. They are still honoring the cyber Monday code :thumb:. If I can get one more big order in before the 16th, I'll be good through the holidays.

That's so awesome that they are still honoring the code!

1. When I got my conformation e-mail I Saw there was an option for sweetener with Jade Dew that I didn't see while ordering. Does anyone recommend sweetened over not? In their notes they recommend trying juices with that option unsweetened first. So I'm not too worried about just wanted to hear thoughts.

3. After reading it seems they are out of Sasparilla which was my sample request. I'm hesitant to email them due to how overloaded they have been. Plus I ordered everything I wanted so I thought maybe ill just get a surprise from them, I don't know what else to sample, maybe sleigh ride? Thoughts?

Sweetener depends on your taste buds. I get everything sweetened if it is available since I like sweet. You should email about the sampler. I'm sure you can find one that you would like to try! The customer service is awesome and they'll take care of it.

Smooth Criminal is good from day one and if you take your time vaping it the taste just gets better every day.

Ok, going to have to sample this one tonight. I've had it steeping for about 9 days, I think. Guess I should have tasted it earlier!

Speaking of the wonders of steeping . . . (ahem) . . . One of my first orders was the Mystic Spice Tea (dob 9/04/12). After my requisite cap-off + additional 3 weeks, I found it very pleasant, yet nowhere near the "Wowza!" factor of CPBT or GAT.

Oh baby!! :hubba::hubba: This juice is now perfect, and goes just perfectly with lemony/orangey spiced teas!! :wub:

Thank you Wlad and Alley!!

It's magical how they just keep evolving. So glad it turned into something delightful that you are enjoying!

Sasparilla is without a doubt, another one that I will always use right away. The fizzy character I love about it is brightest when it first arrives. Other than that, I'm not noticing a lot of difference in the character from brand new, in the 15 days I've been pulling on it. Could be that since I'm vaping it daily, the subtle changes are going unnoticed, but I loved it right away, and still do.

Makes note...try immediately.

That's why I got the regular size with the extension. The 18650 lasts at least a day. Sometimes 2. Plus all my other mods are 18650. I find it to be the perfect size plus there is more pink to see. Fits perfectly in the outside side pocket of my purse :)

I wouldn't steer you wrong. But let me know what YOU think?

I always worry about it falling out of my purse.... :glare:
Ya know, and 18650 WOULD look a little more impressive in my pocket.... :blush:
