That's whenever someone asks if tell them to get the 60ml right away as they will wish they would have! He he he

Heh. I feel that way about most of the flavors. I'm scared to order anything anymore, because unless I'm ordering it in 60 right away, I know I'm going to end up sad. Still, all things in moderation...so i keep a 60 of zombie at all times, and a 30 of my other favorites (errm, that'd be... almost all of them i've tasted... errm... darnnit, they're all so good!)

Got my juices from AIV...steeping...steeping. Broke into the samples, figured they would need less time. My first ever vape from them was 'Twas Brillig. OH MY GOODNESS! "`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe...One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!" That vorpal blade being my tongue! So clean and tasty from my mini Vivi on a Twist @ 4.4v. One more week and I'm into the rest. I'll post my impressions later. Steeping...steeping...

Can't wait to read what you think about them. Make sure you post a thread (even better with pics of the pretty bottles) and let us all know what you think about them!

I Hope you will love every last drop!

A little follow up after my hiatus from the forum.. I ended up getting a 60ml Glass bottle of Sweet Tease and of Zombie Apocalypse. I'm actually vaping Zombie Apocalypse right now out of a Pheonix bottom coil carto1/ using my Vision mini eGo (400mah - 3.7v)2/.

I still vape my Dekang watermelon and I always keep a bottle or two around because it's $10 for 50ml (thanks China!) but I have to say Sweet Tease and Zombie Apocalypse are my favorite juices so far. I'm somewhat disappointed that I can't use my J-Tank with Sweet Tease or Zombie Apocalypse because the thicker AiV juices won't wick. Maybe a carto with a filling that is packed looser than the Boge Laser Drilled cartos that are sold along side the J-Tanks would work but I don't think so. It's not as if the carto is wicking too slow. It is not wicking at all. Even when I filled the cartos that I used the first time I tasted these two juices (I use the condom method) I would have to basically fill the carto with juice that was just resting atop the filler then shake it violently to get the juice to soak in and keep repeating because without me shaking the carto so the juice can soak in it would just rest atop the filler.

I'm considering trying to use one of the Pheonix bottom coil or a CE2 type clearo3/ in my 5.5ml J-Tank (instead of a normal carto). Has anyone tried this? Can you think of any problems that may arise? If It does work, it may be some what revolutionary. I would imagine if it is possible, using a CE2 clearo instead of a carto in your tank would provide a much better vape.

I've had no problem using my AiV with my tanks/cartos -- although I do find it better to use dual-punched cartos for it. In fact, it's all I vape Zombie out of now. sweet tease, i've never tried, so I don't know about that one. But... just to say, maybe a different carto *could* work for you, since mine work fine for me.

(Sorry, I overslept..brain not putting words together... I forget the point i was making)

I'm expecting my AiV shipment, delectable sampler and Ravyn to ship tomorrow! Hoping against hope it will arrive on Friday since I'll be out of town enjoying some great KC BBQ over the weekend, would hate for those juices to sit in my mailbox in freezing temps all weekend. I know they'd be fine, but so lonely and unappreciated :(

Poor bottles - just send them to Australia - I will look after them and take them to the beach to warm up!

Do you punch your own cartos or buy pre-punched? Can you please give me the link to the cartos you use? I'm starting to get really disappointed with vaping lately. All of my gear has been acting up. My mods/batts work fine but my cartos, kangers and carto-tanks have been acting up.

The kanger t3 bottom coils are hit a miss I guess. I had one that worked great for Dekang then it I ordered 2 more for my AiV flavors and my first hit from the Sweet Tease only t3 was dry and scratchy (I let it sit for 15-20 min after filling to allow it time to saturate the wicks. Then it started working good and it still works somewhat but nothing like my first one with dekang was. Which BTW no longer works. It floods every time I use it. I know how to fill it and I have to clean the liquid from the air path to get rid of the bubbling/gurgling sound (as well as to stop getting juice on my lips every time I use it) and it will work for 1-2 hits then it starts bubbling agian.

My J-Tank w/ Boge SR laser drilled carto use to work PERFECT with my Dekang watermelon (100% PG). I could chain vape all day and never get a burnt taste or dry hit. But, now after 4-5 hits it will dry out and I have to either A. drip into the carto to fill it or B. Push the carto through (so the threads are inside the tank) like I'm going to fill it and cover the drip tip end then blow into the tank (forcing juice into the carto). My eGo mega carto was the same. I could screw it on my kGo and use it all day and as long as it was topped off occasionally it would perform flawlessly. But, now even when it is filled 100% I get a strange burnt plastic taste.

I'm going to order some new cartos and stuff today. Hopefully I can figure this out because at the moment the only thing I take out of the house with me that works consistently is my Pheonix Bottom Coil Carto/clearo (basically a kanger t3 bottom coil that is the same size/shape as a XL carto). That (the Pheonix bottom coil carto) is what I've been vaping my Zombie Apocalypse out of and it's been satisfying. Thank god this one thing works because I would be smoking analogs if it didn't. I don't have time to deal with something like this. I need to be able to pick up my device and vape.

I use my ZAU at home so that isn't a problem. But I can't have this happening while I'm at work, busy and needing a good vape.

I have bought prepunched Boge cartos in the past, but plan to get my own punch soon. One hole seems to not be enough, I don't even use my MAP tank anymore because it has such muted flavor and low low low vapor production. But I'm hoping it's just that only one punched hole is the issue, as I REALLY want to like carto tanks. Cartos in general though are my go-to delivery system. I use both Boge and Smoktech LR single and dual coils. I prefer the single coils though, less battery draining. When comparing side by side, a WORKING Boge and a Working Smoktech, I prefer the Boge. Both are hit and miss though, both can be slow to wick, dry hits, or even just dead straight out of the box. For the slow wicking ones, I have noticed they wick better after two or three fills, or after a good soaking ala pbusardo's boiling method. I think of it as "priming" the filler.

YMMV.

I don't know, my guess would be no, but since my order STILL hasn't shipped, so it will be Sunday or likely Monday before I find out...I. Just. Don't. Know!

My 'epic' one is not here yet either...

I am sure you will fall in love when these treasures reach you.

No vapemail for me today yet either - customs needs to take their paws of it. Unless they found out how delicious this juice is and are vaping away and won't release it!


At least Christmas comes more than once a year - it arrives with every Vapemail from aliceinvapeland :)
