almost!

[zeroclue]

Good job it's sunday tomorrow, your postie will need a rest after that! Lol, nice selection you got there

I've so far been good, really tempted on some orders but not hit the check out button....yet! I'm going to sort through our supply box and find all the almost empty bottles, if I vape my way through those over the weekend we should have room for a new batch ;-) (OH moaning "we don't need anymore") pfff, he's clearly mistaken :-/

I have got some 18mg bottles, bought when I got my first kit but they are far too strong and we haven't used much of them. The higher nic ruins the flavour (at least for me anyway), the inhale is ruff, not so much throat hit just very yuk. The exhale I found even worse, kinda felt like my throat was burning and just tasted unclean.

I haven't really cut down on nic, I know not to buy higher than 12mg for reasons above and lower than 8mg is too light.

Tut tut, can't believe you're slumming around forums when your supposed to be working!

Did you work out what flavour your getting from the white gems? I seem to find flavours I don't have far more interesting than flavours I do have! I am enjoying mine, but I want yours/everyone else's too

vaping makes you greedy and impatient, I was happy buying cigs to last a week and having a couple of lighters about...can't believe how silly I was

No Decadent post today! Typical. First class recorded used to be so reliable!

Our postman is here every day - working at home means I shop online a lot more, but to be honest, I probably get things at the best price I can as a result ...and, both our sons get things sent here because they know I'm usually here when the post comes.
Also, he's more used to some of the stuff he delivers smelling of turpentine and linseed oil, so things smelling delicious (and sometimes the packages do!) will have him guessing unless he's familiar with all this. I must ask him.

I still have some stronger stuff too, but I can always dilute it with the same or similar flavour in zero nicotine.

'Slumming' around on forums is my salvation - feels like contact with the outside world ...and there's a lot of nice people around too!
I use a broadband forum and an art one too. I do like to sit back and take a break for 10 minutes every now and then.

Still haven't nailed what it is about White Gems ..perhaps it'll either change or become more apparent after a week or so.
Reading about everyone else's latest finds does make me want to at least take a look, and the feedback is useful. Trouble is, when taking a look, there's always something else to catch the eye!

Goodness knows what that Mad Murdock Radiator Pluid stuff is like but I was intrigued! We'll see! Seems it's either loved or hated, and that alone makes it mysterious. I'm getting two Ahlusion ones with that order: Caramel Pear & Black Tea, & Blueberry Vanilla Cake, plus two other of different makes: Midos Scorpions Blood and Sandsmods Blackberry Waffle. They were all on a French site and I'd possibly never see them anywhere else, so seeing I was paying a higher shipping charge, thought I may as well try them. There's a degree of PG in them so I'll need to be careful about how much I use them. A little isn't troubling me thankfully.
Still haven't got my Snake Oil ..out of stock still.
I think once I get all the new ones I'll have more than enough to play around with and find my set of 'keepers'.
Yes, buying cigs was pretty boring in comparison ..not sure if it's a good or bad thing ... this is definitely distracting - but rather fun!

I've still been using the two Coffees and Jamaican Ginger from CV today, but also a bit of the LB fresh mixed with the plain Lime from LT.

I realised today that the eSmart clearomisers fit on my small batteries if I get the 8081D thread version, and they're better than the others I have. I like them for trying new ones and for those I don't use frequently.
I do think I'll be using an Evod for the coffee and Jamaican Ginger ones though ...they're in constant use!

 

[zeroclue]

Have you had a good weekend? My daughter is back at school tomorrow (well until dinner, she has an appointment in the afternoon). We have been shopping, tried and failed to get my son's hair cut and been running around the park.

I saw the snake oil on grey haze if you haven't ordered it yet

I'm a stay at home mum so I'm usually here for the post too, I hit the forums to take a break from playing trains, choo choo! Lol

I can't believe you have ordered more liquid...I'm so jealous! I usually have at least one order with a few goodies :-(

I've rebuilt some coils today so I've got 4 flavours in rotation and 4 ready to use, I've only emptied one bottle but had 2 waiting to go in the box! I keep refilling with favourites,

Must try harder, I really want to try those coffees Which is your fav?

I've not used the esmart ones, I've got evods, protank2s, T3S (all bottom coil) vape only et-s (glass bottom duel coil) an a iclear something (top coil came with the mvp2, only tried it once, not very good) kayfun3.1 and a taifun gt on the way. The evod is my smallest tank, first ones I tried and still a favourite

It's definitely more fun than smoking esp when you find really good flavours. We have a few 30ml bottles that have 'reordered before empty' status, in fact most have been OK even if I wont order them again.

 

[Pictor]

To be honest, today has been pretty rubbish from the start: husband going out today (a classic car thing) so he took the bigger dog for a walk before I was up and left the little one here. Little one was giving out bloodcurdling howls and woke me up ..I didn't go back to sleep properly apart from a couple of really awful dreams, so was tired.
Then, when I booted the computer, my monitor was all red haze ..until I finally thought to unscrew the plug and re-plug it ....was fine then, and then I noticed the little yellow triangle in the system tray: no internet access! Not a frequent happening, so not a good sign.
After crawling around checking plugs, router etc., I banged my head on the metal support of the leg of my desk ...I really should have gone back to bed and stayed there at this point!

I rang my ISP tech. services and it was a major outage caused by broken fibre - affected a huge number of people apparently. He said to re-boot the router now and then to check whether it was fixed.

By the time I'd got to the stage of finding out why my connection was down, it was almost lunch time for me n the doggies. Did that, did a bit of tidying up etc., son who is on cable rang to tell me the current status of the outage (still down), so I got on with a few thorough clean-up and sorting out jobs here in my work room. Turned to get the vacuum propped against a chest of drawers, knocked it sideways and it toppled my tripod & camera over ..and it fell with a loud thud right on the lens! I righted it, took the dust cover off and saw that the shoe keeping the camera firm on the tripod was twisted, tried to lift it off to straighten it, and it slipped out of my hand when it suddenly came off!
Tried the camera and when doing a half click on the remote to focus it ...it didn't! I have another body & lens so will swap them over tomorrow to see if it's the camera body or the lens at fault ...just couldn't face looking at it today! I just don't want to have to buy another of either! If it's the camera body though, I can use my other one ....fingers crossed!

By then husband had returned and we cooked some food, washed up and by that time I saw the connection was back up, so I could then do the online stuff I'd not done during the day ...grocery shopping (oh joy), reading emails and replying where needed and a few other little jobs.

Nope, not a good day today!
...did I get any work done today? ...no way. Never mind ..there's a new one tomorrow - perhaps it'll be mercifully uneventful!

I have ordered the Snake Oil, but no sign yet. The TMax site says it'll ship the next lot out on May 7th, so the supplier I ordered from may still be waiting.

I don't think I'd take kindly now to keeping two small children entertained! It takes a lot of energy, patience and understanding and a good dollop of wackiness

I won't be ordering any more until I've tried my new ones, so don't worry ...that Jamaican Ginger put wings on my heels and made me feel a bit adventurous - I'm sure to have made a few blunders
Anyway, I'll get confused if I get any more!
Last night I tried a couple of ones I didn't like much when they arrived, and I still don't like them.
Wonder if anyone makes something like Schweppes Bitter Lemon! Hm? ...oh hush my thoughts!

By the way, I did try that Mystic RY4 I have - not bad! A nice sweet, warm taste and a bit more tobaccoish than any similar I have. Not too sure I want anything to taste too much of tobacco now though. I'd rather that was becoming a distant memory.
I did like their Eldorado but it gave me a bad attack of not being able to breathe sadly.

I really don't fancy messing around with coil rebuilding - I like to just use things. But, I do admire you for doing yours!
Talking of putting them in a box ..mine is full now! What will I do with the new ones ...ah! I do have a nice little shallow wooden tray (was meant for some work related stuff) but it'll be nice for the new ones until I weed out at some point ..still got a good few to revisit.

The CV coffee ones I actually like mixed 50/50 I like them both though and have ordered 30ml bottles of both. The Caramel Cappuccino is as it suggests: coffee, cream and a touch of caramel, and Lews Brew is a slightly creamy coffee. I'll be receiving the Vapology Cappuccino soon, so will see how that is and if I'm OK with the PG in it (30%), plus there's Café Brasiliano in the Decadent order ...so a couple more possibilities, but the CV are the best I've had so far. Others I've had have either been too weakly flavoured for me or smell disgusting!

I like the eSmart for it's mid size - it's right between the cig size ones and the Kanger Evods. Got mine from VapeEscape (2 battery kits)
Looked at the iTaste but liked the eSmart better.
Can't really see me using anything bigger than the Evod. When I first got the Kanger Evod kit they looked enormous!

I was feeling a little bit jaded about my not being able to use anything with the caramel/vanilla/cream flavours, but the Jamaican Ginger has that along with the pudding and other flavours, so it really made me happy! Just hope their others agree with me as much!

Who knew giving up cigarettes was so good! ...and 90 days now!

 

[zeroclue]

Oh no! Sorry you had such a bad day, hope your bumped head and camera are ok :-(

I was looking at the mystic juice yesterday, the babylon is supposed to be coffee but the reviews are very mixed on flavour, with everyone tasting something different and not much mention of it tasting like coffee! Think I will pass for now.

I've ordered my drip tip but only got one liquid (the azteca fat cow), realised we only have one strawberry flavour (strawberry mint).

We only started building the coils because I had ordered the kayfun (and needed some practice), if I had to build those I might as well build the rest. Plus we usually have 4/5 flavours in rotation each so that nearly £20 in coils. Not alot compared to smoking and we would only need to buy them every 2/3 weeks, but when you've got your eye on lots of other goodies that £20 could be better spent

I will hold off on the CV order (until next week) we really do need to get through some of these first. I think there's around 70 bottles in the box! Definitely going to try the ones you have mentioned

Anyway I'm supposed to be having an early night...ops! Hope you have a great day tomorrow and lots of vapemail goodies arrive.

Congrats on the 90 days!

 

[Pictor]

Thanks! Bumped head which gave me a headache OK now, camera body is damaged in the viewfinder area inside, not the lens, so that's not too bad. Can use my other camera body which is slightly newer anyway. Much better than buying a new macro lens! Will get an estimate for a repair of the damaged one.

I got 4 Mystic, and one was Babylon. Wasn't too impressed even though it tasted OK. It was the Eldorado I really liked, but it was probably either that or the Red Oak Vanda that gave me a bad few hours not being able to breathe and cause my throat to bleed a little - I'd used both on the same day. Seeing Mystic is a PG/VG mix, it likely contributed to it too. Their RY4 hasn't impressed me a lot. I may try the one from CV next time. The last of the 4 was the Vanilla, and I didn't even dare to try that one after my experience with the others. Biggest shame was the Red Oak Vanda because it's all VG and tastes very good!

Been using a couple with a percentage of PG on and off for fairly short periods for 2-3 days (the Mystic RY and Trip Hammer Fizzy Trifle) and already I have little patches of eczema coming out on my face ...shortness of breath would likely come along soon, so I'll leave PG alone for a while before trying any more.
I have a few on order that have PG in them ...will need to use with care and very sparingly. I sort of hope none turn out to be amongst the best ever or that would be cruel!

I have a number of flavours to hand all the time, 3 in Evods, but there's always a few in the small clearomisers, and most of those are throw-away ones. Also, I have those £2 Evod ones to use and they're really cheap so doesn't matter if I do replace the coils or throw them away at that price.

By the time you're ready to order from CV, I'll be able to tell you about at least some of my new ones because they were despatched today.

Today I've been using the three from CV that I got last week plus the LB Fresh lime mixed with plain lime (LT) and also some menthol.
...I see LT has a new one: Lemonade! I may give that a whirl when I order some more menthol from them in a week or so. Black Magic and Cherry Cigar sound rather good too.

I need an early (for me) night - was going up to 5 when I finally got to sleep. Think the multiple events of yesterday just got to me and my head was running on overdrive! Felt awful when I got up at 10! I like 7-8 hours sleep!
Still, I have at least an hours work to get through first, so nose to the grindstone

Thanks re the 90 days ...been quite an adventure in many ways so far!

 

[zeroclue]

I got a dispatch email today too, so hopefully the strawberry milkshake will be here tomorrow

I've mixed a cherry one with blue cola which was quite nice and had some peach melba (vapology) it's nice but I do get fed up of it before I empty the tank. Tried my cocomel again and it's very bitter and still slightly soapy :-( sure it didn't take this long last time but I did mix extra coconut in with the first half bottle, will try again next week!

I've got a couple with lemon flavour but not tried lime...now that was mean of you, that will be another on the 'to try' list! Now trying to think what it would mix well with...coconut lime! That will suit me have to try lemon in my blue cola too, always have a slice of lemon in coke!

Not sure I would have made 90 (91 now) days if it had caused me half the problems it has you! I would have been scared off long ago, you really are doing fantasic

I haven't been back on LT but they have so many liquids I'm not sure I could spot the new ones! Will probably save that one for batch orders and grab a bunch of them

5am! I'm usually trying to convince my daughter to go back to bed at that time, never works though zzzz. She got up when I went to bed yesterday, luckily she was straight back to sleep but she can be up for the day at 4am on a bad day, rare occasions are 3am or after 6am.

I can't wait to here about your new liquids! I always say I'm going to wait a week before trying new ones....never happens

I use way too many :-( !!!

 

[Pictor]

You could need a couple of goes at reading all this!

Hope your Strawberry Milkshake arrived! Sounds nice.
Your Cocomel seems to be taking a while to sort itself out.

I've had a number that weren't good on arrival and didn't improve much for keeping either, but not that many I've had a repeat of to tell whether they can vary or not.

With LT, if you look on their home page, they have the new ones as 5ml samples shown on there in a small paragraph on the middle of the page. They're also amongst the 'new items' and if you plough through the 10ml bottles, you'll also see the 5ml sample sizes amongst them. Those have a PG mix in them though so I always get the 10ml bottles and ask for VG.
even if you only get the new sample ones, their postage is sensible.
Good idea to take a look at the beginning of each week as they usually appear then if there are any.

However, I got my CV order yesterday, and the three new ones I tried were really nice. Last night I needed to top up my Jamaican Ginger, and needed to use some from the new 30ml bottle. It tasted odd ..a bit like dirty or burnt oil. I assumed it was the new Evod, so drained it out and soaked it in mild warm water/detergent. I got another Evod - same! I tried it in a previously used Evod - same, tried a new CE5 - same. Couldn't all have a problem!
So, I then turned to putting a bit of two of the other new ones into small clearomisers ready to try today.
It was as that point that I noticed the label on all the new 10ml and three 30ml bottles: 35PG/65VG! I'd asked for 100% VG (apart from flavouring). Now if that would make the Jamaican Ginger taste so different I don't know. I'd only ever used it in a small clearomiser on a smaller battery before.
I've put some of that Jamaican Ginger in a Vision Nano clearomiser on an eSmart battery today and it's tasting a lot better most of time ....still a hint of the dirty/oily flavour now and then but not much. Odd!

So, I tried the other two I'd left ready this morning: Orange custard Creams & Confusion, and they don't taste brilliant - not like the other one, but more like 'not as I'd expect' (Orange Custard Creams), or very little taste of anything (Confusion)! Perhaps they need steeping though. I went on to try the last new one- Spottedick: has a hint of dried fruit and suet pudding, but not enough to form an opinion ..again, I'll leave it a week.

Seeing they're partly PG though, they could get to be more of a problem for me: eczema getting more visible on my face after yesterday & today. I've sent an email to CV.

This is what I've said about the other flavours in another thread:
Hawaiian Pud: lovely sweet pineapple flavour together with the sponge and a light creaminess! Very nice. More pineapple syrup than tart fruit. I do like this one!

Strawberry Vapetto: first taste is those lovely toasty/nutty waffle wafer cones, the strawberry is light and not over-done, and the fresh but creamy ice cream follows. Very nice also, and this is another keeper!
The only other Strawberry one I have gives me a tightness in my throat, but not this one - it's lovely.

Apple Pie & Irish Cream custard: at first I thought the pie crust came first with warm, lightly flavoured, I think very lightly spiced apples, and cream custard laced gently with warm alcohol. Again, rather nice.
I later realised that the first flavour had become a spicy dried apple slices taste together with the pastry, custard and a very light Irish cream hint. It's unusual and I keep going back to it very happily! I reckon another I'll buy more of.

All these could alter a bit or improve to be even better with waiting, so we'll see!
So far, none have a definite sense of one flavour, but seem to incorporate all that they're supposed to be nicely. To me, they're lovely without being overpowering in any way.
They seem to have a signature running through them but are all individual - must be the CV style coming through
I've actually ordered a few more: RY, Banoffee, Twisted, Jungle Juice & Fluffy Nuts. Think that's just about all of theirs that look like they'll suit me. I'm very impressed with them so far - just hope I get 100% VG sorted out with this new one! My first order was perfect.

I've got three Vapology ones to try, but sniffing them, think they do need to steep for a while.

My Snake Oil may be here tomorrow! They phoned yesterday and told me they could add my 0.6nicotine to some 0 nicotine they have if I didn't want to wait another week, so I said that was fine!
I'm looking forward to trying that one!

Got my antennae up for SteamGunk after hearing about Snickerdoodle - I emailed and asked about VG and she replied that they don't have any VG nicotine base to do that at the moment but will have in a few weeks if I try again. So, I reasoned that if I don't like something, it doesn't matter if it has PG in it, I won't use much, so a few samples seem in order!

Had a breakage problem with two eSmart clearomisers today - not sure if it's what I had in them (a standard Cappuccino) or if a faulty batch ..will have to investigate!

Yes, it's been daunting at times getting various problems. The PG was a hard one to deal with, but once with VG, the many problems went as long as I kept clear of some of the vanilla/custard ones once I had those breathing attacks.
Sorting and sifting through equipment variations is vary varied too, but I'll get there.
the reason I kept going? I had my first cigarette at 15 (albeit only occasionally then) but it increased as I got older. In the past two years, a number of stressful family situations caused me to go from 25 to 35 per day. Add that to the smell of cigarette smoke, the nagging, the general air of being a social outcast, and being bombarded with unwanted 'pill pushing' by doctors and nurses and I'd had enough! I still didn't think I could stop though - I'd tried before. It happened literally by accident, but once realised, there's no way I'd gladly go back to cigarettes again. It feels like too big an achievement.
Can't say it's been much cheaper ...not yet, but it will be as I'm just about sorted with liquid and equipment that suits me.

 

[zeroclue]

Had to take a break between reading and replying! OH has just made coffee Bet this post gets us to page 6 lol.

yes my strawberry milkshake is here, smells really strong and sickly (like those pink milkshake foam sweets) but went to grab an evod (couldn't wait) when I looked it's frosted a little around the drip tip so had to use a protank2 instead (flavour seems better in the evods) :-( Anyway filled up, the taste is much milder and not as sweet as it smells. It's got quite a light strawberry flavour that's very creamy, I have been using it all afternoon and it's not sickly at all It's not something I could use all the time but I am enjoying it, will see how the rest of the bottle goes, I will probably add it to the reordered list at some point.

The last bottle of cocomel did get better over time so I'm not worried...just impatient!

That's strange with the dirt flavour, it might just be some of the flavours coming through too strong and making it taste funny. Hopefully time will help! Can't believe they sent you a PG mix, maybe you'll get some freebies I've got some coffee that seems stronger/more bitter than the last bottle, just figured they added too much flavouring? But then again some days it tastes nice!

If you look on smoke rainbow you can buy 1ml samples from different vendors, they have a pack with all the steamgunk flavours Many more I'm looking forward to trying too!

I keep seeing VG liquid and wondering if you've tried it There is a post for uk ecig store, they have some virgin vapour liquids that get mentioned on here a lot. They are 100% VG but most are out of stock, the kona coffee milkshake sounds good but it's £16.99 for 30ml, bit of a waste if it's horrible! Think you can order direct from them too, might be Ok for a treat.

I started smoking at 12/13 (stupid girl) was up to about 20/25 per day, I had thought about stopping (as you do) but never believed I would. So glad for ecigs and it was much easier than I ever thought possible. I still keep having moments when 'cig' pops into my head but it's more like an annoying fly that buzzes around the room then dissappears again.

What did you get from vapology? I have peach melba and very berry cool, going to have to get around to mixing something up from them. Stupid too many choices, wish I started vaping at 12/13 instead, might have got through half of my to try list by now!

 

[Pictor]

I like when those that could be sickly sweet turn out to be just right! Those Chefs Vapour ones are like that

I'm finding that slowly, the nasty taste ones are becoming rather tasty! Odd that such a dreadful taste can just go ...never had that before.
Still, the PG in that order is definitely bringing back the original problems I had. I haven't heard back from them yet, and seeing a few are definite favourites, I've re-ordered 10ml bottles in VG and sent an email asking them to make sure it's just VG that gets used.
They're just too nice not to do that! I ordered two bottles each of Jamaican Ginger and Strawberry Vapetto along with one each of the others. As was suggested in another thread, the 10ml bottles do seem to be usable right away or within a couple of days, but the 30ml need time.

I can taste the Confusion today ...so far it's thick clotted cream with a hint of caramel ...very nice! Love the lightly spiced too such as Spottedick and Apple Pie & Irish Cream Custard. I accidentally topped up the Apple Pie one with the Hawaiian Pud yesterday and it still tastes great!
Looking at the full range of CV, I reckon there's hardly any that I wouldn't like, so have ordered a few more different ones too.

Steamgunk have despatched my small bottles today! More PG, so I'll only be trying one at a time so that I can start to eliminate the dry sore skin and throat etc. Amazing how much more dehydrated I am with PG included than with none or very little. Needed much more water yesterday!
I'd already ordered them when I saw the Smoke Rainbow site!

I'm eyeing the Virgin Vapor ones for their VG content and nice sounding stuff! Wonder how much the international shipping is on those or if it's the same buying at the UK higher prices. As you say, UK Ecig store have them but pricey and mostly out of stock ..found a couple of other UK sites though.

I've had 3 or 4 serious moments when I'd like a cigarette, but the thought goes quite quickly when I think of how far I've come. I was smoking for a very long time, so it's still quite amazing to me.

From Vapology I got Black forest Gateau, Very Berry Cool & Cappuccino. The latter smelled fairly OK so I tried it and the new eSmart clearomiser broke after an hour, as did a second ...I find it hard to believe that a cappuccino can break a decent make tank though! Never had that happen even with citrus flavours. I do have a glass Evod, and a mini Protank 2 on the way, so will try it in one of those.
Not too sure yet about that Cappuccino though - the two coffee ones from CV will take some beating. The other two Vapology ones didn't smell as though they were quite right for using yet, so I'll wait a few days Not a bad thing as they do have 30% PG in them.

I don't think we'll ever discover the ultimate list of very best ...they just keep on coming! Oh joy!

 

[zeroclue]

I saw your other thread about the drip tip breaking off! I have seen that comment on here but usually with cinnamon etc (is there any hint of it in your cappuccino)? I've not seen those clearomizers, did it crack or come apart (is it one piece like the evod or is the tip separate)? I think the original protanks used a glue that had problems coming apart.

I've got some flavours that ruin plastic tanks (pear, pear drops, banana custard and the pollution one from steam gunk). But like I said, one of my evods has frosted a little and I have no idea which liquid caused it! they're getting little cracks around the tip too but I have had them quite a while, just time to replace I guess.

I took another look on smoke rainbow and CV is on there too! They do a sample box where you can choose 9 flavours, most of them seem to be 8-12mg roughly 50/50 pg/vg (even the virgin vapour) so I'm going to grab a bunch. You have to type out each flavour or code so it will take some faffing...not tonight, yawn!

I need to stop looking for liquid! As soon as I hear of a new liquid or site I have to go running off to find it.

I haven't read a book in the last couple of months, in fact I'm part way through game of thrones!

No ultimate list, I will only go and bookmark it! I don't know why I'm in such a rush to try them ALL, not like I plan on quitting vaping anytime soon

 

[Pictor]

It's an eSmart clearomiser - I've ordered a few more from this site instead:Cartomisers and Atomisers - Kanger E-Smart Clearos - Kanger E-Smart 808D Clearos 2 Pack - Clear
The black mouthpiece screws off and the break occurred right under the base of the metal band underneath that black mouthpiece (which was still screwed in place) - more or less sheared off all the way around with both ones I tried.
It's just a standard Cappuccino liquid with no hint of anything else. Others have used the same one and have had no problem.
The only thing that misted a poly clearomiser tank was the LT LB Fresh as expected - correction, it was the Cheezy Lemon one!, but it's been in use for a couple of weeks now with no cracking etc, and that's from a fairly cheap pack of five clearomisers one.

I saw the CV on Smoke Rainbow! No point me getting anything else with PG in it though because it's got me short of breath tonight. It'll be a while before I do more than just briefly try one with PG in it.
Virgin Vapour is one I'd like to try though, and they're VG.

I need to stop - just like you, hearing about one sets me off on a new track! I'm keen to get a decent list of my best ones though because I've been far too distracted by all this, and my concentration on work has been bad enough without all this liquid hunting
I needed to get some more LT Ultra Menthol today (it's always at it's best fresh, so I only use 10ml bottles), and I also bought some different ones: Lemonade, Lagoon Fresh, Black Magic, Tiramisu, and Cherry Cigar (just for a change).
The good thing about these 10ml bottles is they get used up fairly soon and 10mls from LT are very reasonable ....as is their postage charge.

I love to read every night - I get snuggled down but propped on an extra pillow and read - empties my mind of any of the days dross and I soon relax and start dropping off. I throw the pillow out, lay the book down and click the light switch - all without opening my eyes!
My favourite book type are spy tales! The books last me quite a good while because I go to sleep fairly quickly.

 

[zeroclue]

Sounds like a bad batch of the esmart!
Did you hear back from CV about your PG/VG order? I hope they replace them :-(

I just cant help myself, I think I need to join an e liquid junkie/vape related support group!

I spotted a frangipane flavour on smoke rainbow (I've been hooked on them for months, as soon as the kids are in bed I grab a pack of crisps and a frangipane, every night)!

I had been browsing (drooling) but restraining myself rather well, until I saw that frangipane! So I immediately chucked one in the cart...might as well grab the ones you recommend from CV, add to cart (they were all out of abc and apple pie and irish cream custard though).

Virgin vapour kona coffee milkshake does sound really good.....36, yes 36 samples later I hit the check out!

There's just no hope for me, I've been browsing liquids on pink mule today! Haven't broken the news to OH yet, might have to grab him that evic he's been after just to distract him from my OLO (obsessive liquid ordering, that's a medical term, right)!

I'm not going to look anymore, but I can't bring myself to delete my bookmarks (hours of work gone into collecting those)!

At least they are only samples and I did throw in some OH would pick :-/

I usually read once the kids are in bed, we do watch tv but only series that we download (greys anatomy and a few others) other than that I'm online but I've not even charged my nexus 7 in weeks (that's got all my books on).

My favs are Patrick Rothfuss, the kingkiller chronicles (only 2 released so far). Brandon Sanderson, the stormlight archive (only book 1 released so far, nice big book though)! Brent weeks night angel (3 books) and Peter v Brett, demon cycle (3 books so far). All amazing

I didn't realise until this afternoon that it's bank holiday weekend! And only then because OH was happy about no work on monday....where's the cyber space exit, I need to visit reality

I did hear from CV today (Think they must have been very busy) - turns out he did make it VG but forgot to alter the label ...so it has to be certain flavours: my other source of problems in the past!
At least I know something, and Lew said if I let him know which ones give me a problem he'll try to work out which flavour(s) it is that gives me a problem.

So, I have some new ones on the way (didn't arrive today) and I'll try one only at a time and then tell him if I get a problem.
The day I got that breathing problem I'd tried three, so can't tell which one(s) did it!
At least I know that the Jamaican Ginger wasn't the culprit, nor the two coffee ones because I'd had those for a while before placing that second order.
I'm just hoping that the Strawberry Vapetto didn't cause me a problem because I really like it ...and the Spottedick! The only thing is, I have a JC Red Oak Merango strawberry and it does make me short of breath! Still, different brands of flavouring can be very different, so I'm hoping. I may try that one tomorrow and then the Spottedick the day after and see how it goes.
The Confusion is rather nice: like thick clotted cream with a hint of caramel! Could be very versatile too by adding it to fruits or coffee ones! Cream & apricot sounds good!

I like frangipane too! I looked at the Smoke Rainbow but they don't have the VG versions of VV's samples and they don't have all the ones I'd like to try. Think I may order 2x3 sample packs from VV direct at some point soon. Not like I'm in a hurry for new ones!

OLO? Yes, almost certainly a severe case but happily, not terminal! Forget the cyber exit - it's not very nice out there!
Don't delete your bookmarks ..you'll almost certainly regret it at some point!

Some of my favourite authors have been Charles Cumming, Henry Porter, Daniel Silva, Robert Ludlum, Stephen Frey, and many more.
I can lose myself in a good spy book or city banking thriller, and nearly always go to sleep easily with nothing sitting on my mind!

I only realised it was a bank holiday when my husband asked me why all the ads for sofas and special offers - had to be a bank holiday! There's another on 26th.
To be honest, all days are pretty much similar to me - I generally work every day/night. Can't remember what it was like to sit on a sofa watching TV all evening! I always seem in need of catching up with work, so I'm used to working with one ear on TV programmes. ...and a look around here now and then!

It's fab that CV are going to help with the flavours! Makes you want to order from them when they can take time to help you out like that

My smoke rainbow order shipped today and my OH has an evic on the way too Still waiting for our taifun gt(s) to arrive, so should be a fun week for vape mail!

4 of the SR samples are from CV (but your tempting me with the others too) jamaican ginger, lews, blue bandit and caramel cappuccino I've got the vamp vape (the blood red one I wasn't sure about) and 5 from trip hammer (they didn't have the white gems or caramac) but victoria sponge is one of them. Plus all the other goodies

Only problem, I've been looking for an RDA all afternoon and a nice new mech to go with it....I'm doomed!


We went to elsecar heritage centre today, took the kids to play mania and had a ride on the steam train

And, my cocomel is ready! All in all a pretty good weekend

The Strawberry Vapetto did give me breathlessness by evening - not sure really whether it's the strawberry, vapetto part, or both! I do have some Chocolate Mint Vapetto on order, so that may resolve that one ..perhaps!
It just all gets very confusing. I'm making notes though and will eventually send them to Chefs Vapours to see if they can pinpoint anything in particular.
It's so nice that they're willing to help. Definitely great customer service!
Even being happy to make them for me in VG was very much appreciated.
Today I've been using the Spottedick, and although I've a slight cough, I'm OK otherwise, and along with a few others as usual, I've been using it since around 10.30 this morning. I take care to not use anything other than those I know are OK for me while trying one per day of these CV ones.
Tomorrow, I'll try either the Hawaiian or the Apple Pie & Irish Cream Custard. Not too worried about the Hawaiian, but I do like the Apple Pie one! My Grandmother used to put a little clove in Apple Pies, and it reminds me of those!

I think I expected more from the White Gems. I do quite like the Fizzy Trifle, but haven't used it a lot yet, and I do have a few other Trip Hammer ones to try. They have PG, so I'll just use them now and then with those I like.

Still suffering from OLO I see!

....But, I'm no better: I did order 2 packs of 3 small sample size bottles from Virgin Vapor - when I found their shipping was only $7, I thought it worth a try.
I ordered: Black Cherry Marshmallow, Drunken Pirate Pudding, Kona Velvet Milkshake, Maple French Toast, Vanilla Blackberry & Double Espresso.
Possible that I'll get problems with one or two, but it's worth a try. I know what to watch out for now too, so can stop before it gets to the point I can't breathe! the Drunken Pirate sounds really nice!
...and as I type, I see an email come in from Virgin Vapor - it's shipped! Being small, it theoretically should only take 4-7 days as is normal for packet/envelope size mail. We'll see!

I hadn't known about that heritage centre - looks nice ...especially the steam train!

LT is offering three 5ml sample sizes this week - not new ones, but nice for anyone wanting to try them.
I do like that Lemonade from LT - real fresh lemon tang to it. Mixes nicely with the lime ones too! (I had some LB Fresh lime with plain Lime in a tank and topped it up with Lemonade!

CV order should arrive tomorrow - there's two orders placed a day apart, so not sure if they'll arrive at the same time or not. I'll just take it slowly with trying them.

Hope your post turn out to be great this week!

Sounds like you've got some tasty treats coming your way too Postie hasn't been yet, maybe tomorrow....

I'm having some more of my strawberry milkshake one today, it seems to have a toasted coconut marshmallowY thing going on, it's very smooth and creamy. Definitely going on the reordered list!

Steamgunk have a new one too, cinderella but I'm going to be extra good this week, no orders!

We will have to go back to elsecar, we didn't get time to have a good look round (kids were in play mania for ages) My little boy loved the train ride

At least if you really fancy a flavour you can buy it in for desert and have the real thing!

Just waiting for my batteries to finish charging and I'm off for an early night. My little girl has an early appointment, just hoping the traffic isn't too bad!

I got the first of the two CV orders placed last week - only tried Twisted briefly for now and it's rather nice! The RY smells great! Jungle Juice has a sharp juicy fruity smell and the Fluffy Nuts and Banoffee smell like they need to sit a while.
My second one may come tomorrow - some repeats in that one, but also Choc Mint Vapetto, Blue Bandit, Blueberry C Bomb and Red Hot Pear.
That would only leave a few that I haven't tried yet. Good thing they don't have a huge inventory!
Still got one of the original ones to try all day tomorrow to see if I get problems: Hawaiian Pud. (Won't do it with the Orange custard Creams as I didn't use it much when I got the problems).

My Virgin Vapor order was shipped yesterday, so something else to look forward to!

What brand is your Strawberry Milkshake and Cinderella? ..I couldn't find those.

I remember when our eldest was 3, I took him on a diesel train just for his first trip on a train. He loved it! Bought him ice cream and orange juice in the station café and got the next train back

Our desserts are mostly fresh fruit (strawberries, mango etc.), low fat yoghurts and similar - husband cannot tolerate statins, and I hate pharmaceutical drugs, so I changed our diet completely 2.5 years ago. I started checking the fat content of everything we ate and made the changes. Within 10 months, we were both two sizes smaller and 2 stones lighter! I now buy size 8 jeans!
So, delicious cream, pie and pudding type desserts are off the menu unless it's a special occasion!

Hope your appointment goes well

Lol, you have done rather a good job getting through the CV stock! I've only tried 2 banana ones, not my fav. Lots on CV I want to try though (thanks to someone)

I failed already, ordered 2 glass evods and a protank airflow controller!

The strawberry milkshake is the one I got from grey haze (azteca, fat cow), really enjoying it. The cinderilla is a new one on steam gunk (not tried).

My smoke rainbow order arrived and OH got a dispatch email for the evic. We are going to choose one SR sample each when the kids go to bed (bit of an evening treat).

OH picked mt baker vaper, ecto cooler (it's 70pg/30vg 12mg), it tastes like fizzy orange pop (without the fizz). OK for a change but not a reorder. I picked virgin vapour, vanilla latte (smells gorgeous, like real coffee) It's 50pg/50vg 12mg. Very tasty and much smoother than the one I got from the alchemist cupboard, the flavour is lighter (AC has a real kick to it). I now have 2 coffees I like

Half of the samples are coffee but definitely a good start.

We got half way to the hospital for my daughters appointment when I checked the letter and realised we were heading for the wrong hospital! Doh, must read my post more carefully. Anyway we made it, only 10mins late :-/

She's got another new med to take but when we get it she can come off her dairy, soya and wheat free diet Doc said the pharmacist might be a bit unsure about the prescription so he wrote his number on it for her to call....she freaked and ran off to find him! Might have to go and pick it up from the other hospital (the wrong one we almost went to today) so not sure when we will get it....then more wait and see.

I've been trying to put weight on for the last 5 years, depo hasn't helped and quitting smoking hasn't either. Lost all my baby weight plus 1 stone after both kids within 3 weeks after birth, I just cannot get that stone back.

My little boy is obsessed with trains, every thing he sees is a train track, then says I have to walk behind him and be the carriage!

Banana wasn't something I originally wanted to try, but CV's have been so good I thought I'd give it a try!

It's looking like there's a lot of fruits I can't tolerate without getting breathing problems!. Strawberry, Blackberry, Peach and perhaps Apple and Pineapple! I'd been cautiously watching out for problems with anything cream/custard/vanilla as I'd had problems with strong custard before, so hadn't fully expected fruit to cause it too.
I've been talking about it on the current last page of the Fasttech thread.

I remember the Azteca now! Shame it's strawberry or I'd be tempted to try that. Cinderilla isn't described as I expected it to be ...I though it would be light, fizzy and delicate, but it's cinder as in toffee!

The Smoke Rainbow order sounds like fun! Wish I could try the Alchemist Coffee one but it's got PG. I did order the Kona Coffee VV one though, so good to hear it's nice! I do like coffee ones.
I like the CV Twisted with that cool exhale, but not totally sure the fruits in it are agreeing with me. Could be after effects of the Apple Pie one I was using today and the Jungle Juice fruit one too.

All gets a bit confusing and frustrating! Still, with luck I'll get a decent few sorted out that will enable me to keep changing them around for variety.
Some days nothing much tastes brilliant, but it's nice to have the odd one or two that make good alternatives!

Sounds like you had a harassing morning! Hope you get the prescription dispensed without any further problem and that she's OK with it!

I was just like you in losing a size with each of our two sons! Stayed that size too, but years later, in 2000 I developed hyperthyroidism, and lost way too much weight, but when given medication for a year to normalise it, I ended up putting on 2 stones ..I was warned it would happen, and because I'd felt so ill before they fixed it, I didn't mind much. So, re-vamping the way we eat put me back to how I used to be

Little boys and trains ...happy memories!
