Alice In Vapeland ~ Premium E-juice ~ Grand Opening and Coupon Thread

[NiNi]

NiNi…you're making it sound so easy…maybe I'll have to try. Yay you!

Embee.....I'm the "keep it simple" kind of person, when things get into deep explanations, I'm like and I do a lot better hands on and then ask, "ok, why is blah, blah, blah". I had to do a lot of things out of necessity being a single mom of 2 with no financial support from the ex's (plural, 2 of them), so I can drop a drive line and replace a throw out bearing, bleed the hydraulics on heavy equipment, basically build an entire house from drawing the plot plan, the blueprint, do the elec, septic, water, gas and have it all to code. I can torch but I can't weld...I can sweat copper pipes though. Throw in the horse training (all types, start to finish), animal husbandry, Degrees in Graphic Design and Business Management,...blah, got to stop, it's giving me a head ache, TMI!
Seriously, I never thought I would learn to do the things that I HAVE learned, but if I can do it, anyone can.

Never put limitations on yourself before you put an honest effort into it. Forget about your gender, height, weight, age, whatever, just go for it.

I'm not getting much flavor out of Crunkberries, but the second hand vape smells so good that rather than blowing plumes or rings, I'm trying to keep it around my face so I can keep smelling it

Crunkberries does really well the longer it sits, I totally forgot about it for a month, and when I finally cracked it open my BF was looking for a box of Captain Crunch with crunchberries, LOL!
Play around with your voltage and/or watts to see if that makes a difference, but give the bottle 24 hours with the top off, recap and shake at least once a day for however long you can hold off!

How long you've been vaping can have an effect also. Your taste buds are totally whacked out when you quit smoking and can take months to get back to their pre-smoking state. Rotate your juices, at least 2 kinds a day, and from different categories, like 1 from bakery, 1 from tea. (This could all be something you know already so just putting it out there just in case!)

If you have questions, observations, whatever, just drop a post! Everyone here is fantastic and I learn a lot from them!

Got back at it today, here's a pic of another vert. coil, without packing, on my MVP. I guess Kanthol has residue on it you need to burn off. Excuse the appearance of my hands, they're 52+ years old and what I made most of my living off, LOL! And I hate cell phones so this was taken with my Sony Dig camera:
View attachment 294148

I've got 16 coiled "springs" to run legs down into the bases of 16 more heads, check for hot spots, legs, and burn residue off of, then it's time to pack those puppies with cotton. I am really digging this! Last night's coil no longer tastes funky and it's performing incredibly!

BTW: Don't use canned air to blow the burned residue off a coil before it cools down, kinda like using hairspray as a torch!!!! Didn't burn anything up, it was actually kind of neat......just don't try it at home, LOL!

That's an awesome looking build! Very nicely done. I am not sure if you know this, if you do forgive me. When you are burning the residual off your pro tank/evod coils, it's best to pulse fire them. If you do a full go from the start you risk singeing that little rubber grommet, at the bottom of the base. Once that happens you'll be left with a decidedly unpleasant burnt rubber taste.

If you would like some more practice I can send you 15 more heads and a self addressed stamped envelope

Yesterday, on my official one week without an analog, one of my mom's sisters was diagnosed with emphysema. Last summer my dad's younger sister had a lung transplant.

Jah, Nicole, and everyone else in the mushroom lab, thank you for helping save lives. And to the residents of the rabbit hole, I haven't been here long, but your support and encouragement are invaluable.

I've got all my samples in a nice warm ultrasonic to steep, I've been vaping for months, and I never smoked before starting vaping, so I think the berries just weren't ripe yet =p

I'd just finished a fruit punch before the berries, and my other PT had a mango guava juice in it - I should probably back off on the fruits, but my zamplebox had 9 fruit flavors out of 11

Today I tie my record for my longest cold turkey quit. Yay! And an old friend from high school saw the pics of my alice boxes on Facebook and started asking questions. An hour later I was sitting at her house explaining batteries and juice to her. I piffed her my ego, a clearo and a handful of juices, I even sacrificed my white rabbit sample. The look on her face when she opened the Alice box was awesome! She's a menthol smoker, so I might gift her a bottle of frost blossom next payday. I'm so excited! My first pif and hopefully my first convert!

Hi everyone. Busy today…will visit later. Have a great Sunday!

Hullo all

My hardware for direct dripping didn't arrive yesterday, but I found i couldn't resist trying out one.. ok two.. alright three of the AiV juices in my Halo mini tanks.

Is it just me, or does Frost Blossom make everyone's mouths water with the sweet/tart burst of fresh orange? Just woke up from a terrible sleep riddled with nightmares, and the flavor and aroma of this juice is cheering me up, even through the tiredness. This is the first real 'pure' fruit vape I've had. It is just stupid good.

 

[Imprint]

The other two flavors I sacrificed to the mini tanks are A Quiet Morning and Black and White cookie.

AQM is lovely, the fruit in it is very fresh, and I enjoy the slight creaminess on the exhale, but the tea, the tea part I'm not so sure about. There's a bitterness which I find unsettling, but to be fair it's the same bitterness I get from any tea. I have to be in the mood for it.

B&W Cookie is in a tank which still had wet wicks, so the first pulls I've taken so far have only had hints of the flavor, more of a scent really, but it's awfully nice even at just a light, barely-there tease of what's to come.

BUT OMG FROST BLOSSOM!!
FROSSSSTTTT BLOSSSSSSOMMM!!!!
Orange zest direct to my tongue and the back of my throat each and every time. Mouth waters with every puff, even after an hour or so of vaping.The cool of the mint SO gentle, SO lovely, such a perfect compliment.
I just CAN NOT put it down right now. CAN NOT. Even to go make some damn coffee.
Is it Tuesday yet?
My direct dripping/glass tank gear will arrive tomorrow. What more will I have to, HAVE TO, order Tuesday. How much is in my bank account?

 

[NiNi]

LOL, Imprint!!!!!
The thing is, ya gotta get ahead of the steeping process, so plan on ordering for 3-4 weeks and then you'll be set, ROFL!

Berry Lil Cheesecake............oh my!

Too many favorites!!!!!!!!

I know, I'm like all stressed thinking about steeping time, and not knowing which one I will next find that I won't be able to BEAR not being able to vape. So far I have obviously fallen head over heels for Frost Blossom, but the B&W Cookie is starting to come in.. to torture me with its greatness.. showing its true colors, and dear lord but the actual *cookie* taste is there, and the cocoa, not heavy chocolate but a dry, oreo-esque cocoa, is really noticed as I exhale and sit for a second, then it blooms at the back of my nose/throat. Magical.

Berry Lil Cheesecake............oh my!

Too many favorites!!!!!!!!

First world problems!
But seriously I am agog already at the quality of the three juices I've tried so far. Thank god I ordered some bigger bottles of a few flavors (but not Frost Blossom!!), will make the waiting on money/Tuesday/ship time/steep time somewhat tolerable.

Did you get Fifteen Foot Falls?? Ya gotta try it ASAP!!! I love Frost Blossom too- just so fresh, you can smell the orange blossoms in the air. Amazing flavour!

Totally got Fifteen Foot Falls. It's one of the ones I suspected I'd adore and I got a 30mL bottle

The Frost Blossom sampler bottle is already 2/3rds gone. lol
Absolutely ordering it Tuesday

 

[Itskatiekate]

Alice has snagged me with a sample. lol. My first order i grabbed a sample of Frost Blossom and I didn't really like it. the menthol and citrus together is just a little too crisp for me. But Mystic Mandalime? PERFECT. it's not too overpowering. I never grabbed it because I always assumed it was menthol as well. This is the first citrus flavor I have come across that wasn't. Depending on how many others I decide i NEED, this may fall on my reorder list. <3

I take it you haven't touched Lemon Loves Cake? Best citrusy flavor ever!

If they made LLC with menthol, I'd be set.
