It wasn't the kona coffee I tried, just vanilla latte (I got 3 VV coffees) It's got a hint of flavour that is very strong in my OHs caramel cappuccino. What ever that bit of flavour is, I don't like it! I had some left in the tank this morning, It's not going to take the place of my alchemists one. I'm having to add vanilla or caramel to the alchemist, sometimes I do enjoy that extra kick though :)

I don't know anything about mixing liquids (maybe later) hopefully CV will come up with something, I wonder if it's just something that's added to certain flavour types (like a flavour enhancer or something). Try getting some unflavoured from LT and adding plain strawberry or vanilla to it?

Not heard back about the prescription yet, she has tried 6 different meds in all sorts of combinations and 3 restricted diets. If this one doesn't work she has to stop ALL food and will only be allowed special milkshakes :-(

Can't wait to test today's samples, so many goodies :)

Ah! I ordered Kona Velvet Milkshake and the Double Espresso.
I have had some coffee ones that have an unpleasant taste in them - think I threw them out after waiting a few weeks and no change. Not particularly terrific brands I don't think.

I'm expecting a few things in the post, but have seen no sign of him today. He's usually here by now! Everything seems really late since the bank holiday! I have a battery and my second CV order that were posted Tuesday and Saturday :( Not desperate for either really, but I do get annoyed when the post is slow! Something about the principal: it's not their property and they've been paid to deliver it!

I don't want to get involved with mixing from scratch, but I'm happy to either add a bit of one to another or add a few drops of flavouring to a tank. I used 2-3 drops of Capella Cappuccino with a mixed tank of CV Lews Brew & Cappuccino, and it really added a good coffee taste. Only tried it once, but must try it again!
I also have the cream/vanilla TPA ones that have no acetoin in them. They do French Vanilla with no known custard irritants.
I'll certainly have to avoid strawberry for the time being. Pity about the LT Blackberry too - it's lovely, but it did affect me. I tried it twice with the same result! I will try it again, but not just now.

In a way, it's a good thing your daughter is so young ..an older child could be quite rebellious with all the meds and diet restrictions or changes. Hope it gets sorted out to something easier to deal with before she gets older.

I'm trying the CV RY all today ...very nice, and I'll likely get more! and also the Fluffy Nuts ....it has a mild but definite flavour and is rather nice too! So far, no problems with either.
First time I tried RY two days ago, I had a little bit of the Confusion left in the tank -made a really nice addition to it! Very creamy RY!

Happy testing with your samples! :)

My other 2 VV coffees are the kona velvet and kona coffee milkshake, not sure what the difference is (yet).

Our postie has been late all week, he came after I set off on the school run so OHs evic needs collecting now!

She is fantastic (feel awful when she asks for something she can't have though), she's had nothing but appointments since she was 4 months old. Sure we will get there one day, she's going to be 5 yrs old on Monday so we are all excited for the weekend :D

I've got a sample from leo liquid tonight (OH hasn't chosen one) it's called coconut crack (12mg 50/50), think it could do with an extra flavour shot! It is very nice, it tastes just like a bag of dried fruit (with the coconut, papaya etc). I would quite happily order more of it, think it would be a good flavour when all others taste a little blah! Must have been OK because my tank is empty, smell was very addictive and that little bit of sweetness was yummy :)

I'm already looking forward to tomorrows flavour.

I'm looking forward to trying those VV ones when they come - they'll likely be ready to use by the time they get here! :)

Our post did turn up at 4.20! Just about a record for time of day. He'd been at work since 4.45am and reckoned it would take him until 6pm to get it all delivered! Typical of what happens when there's been cuts: pile it onto those still there!
...but, my second CV order wasn't there. I'm hoping it gets here tomorrow!

Your daughter sounds lovely - I do hope it gets sorted out sooner rather than later! Hope you all have a great time for her birthday.

The coconut sounds good! Haven't heard of that make before ...no, don't want to know :D

I've been using Fluffy Nuts and the RY all day - seem to be fine with them too! I could wish for a bit more raspberry flavour in the Fluffy nuts though, but it's still rather nice and could improve with a little more time. The RY is also very nice. I used a bit of it two days ago and had a tiny bit of Confusion in the tank ..the two together were super creamy RY! :) I'll try doing that again!
I tried the Twisted again for around 10 minutes mid-day and it did start making me have tightness with breathing! Went away half an hour after I stopped using it. It does have some strawberry in it, and it could be that the other fruits contributed too!

I still have the CV Banoffee Cookie Dough to try, and as I've never tried a banana one before, it should be interesting - may be quite creamy tasting!
I have a few VG ones that I've not tried yet from a couple of other suppliers so I'll likely be trying one or two over the weekend.

Been 100 days today! :)

Hiya, thought I'd check in now I've got my feet up, home sweet home! Had a fab time at peppa pig world and the hotel was lovely :D

I've just filled up a couple of evods with 2 of my samples, was really looking forward to them and now I'm disappointed! I've got southern steam midnight coal, supposed to be a coffee praline and chocolate type flavour. Think they got the name right, tastes like coal :-( Next is trip hammer, martinique this one is a nice flavour but not what I expected. It has a taste of pernod (aniseed)? Can't really pick out any other flavours, I will try it again tomorrow.

Have you got the rest of your goodies? I'm going to try something from CV tomorrow, think I got 3 of their samples :)

Hi! - Glad you had a good time! :)

I did get the rest of my CV orders ...absolutely love the Choc Mint Vapetto. The chocolate is a lovely Belgian chocolate ice cream flavour, and the mint part just seems to add the coolness. The Crispy waffle wafer cone taste is brilliant with it. I only had 20% of the bottle left so had to order more yesterday! I love that the chocolate taste is very realistic! I wanted more Confusion too.

I tried both the blueberry ones and don't think much of them so far - I'll leave them a while. I'm not keen so far on the Red Hot Pear: too much clove & cinnamon for my liking, but it's not awful.

I do want more of the RY and Confusion, and did get more of the Spottedick and Jamaican Ginger.
Although the Twisted has strawberry and pineapple in with the sweet lime, I like it enough to use it for a short while now and then. It has a very positive cool ice cream effect with it that is really nice.
Fluffy Nuts is sweet and nice, but for me, I'd like more raspberry taste to it ..can add a few drops of flavouring though if it doesn't develop further.
Banoffee Cookie didn't taste particularly good so I've left it to steep a while.

I wish I could use the Strawberry Vapetto more as it's lovely, but strawberry definitely makes me breathless. Still, that and the Twisted with caution now and then may be OK!

I ordered some ABC and some Honey & Lemon Menthol with the other two - don't think I'll try the Green eyed Monster or the Disciple.

I also ordered a few more from LT: Blackcurrant, Hazels Praline, Romba & Razzy Twist :)

I'm hoping the sample sizes from Virgin Vapor comes this next week. Be nice to satisfy my curiosity with those!

Wow, your either building up quite the collection or your vaping your way through some serious ml :) (jealous)!

I tried those samples again, the martinique was OK but not something I will buy again. The mightnight coal went down the sink! (No joke it smelled like wet ashtray)! First prize for worst liquid to date :-(

Now on to the good stuff, I've picked out a rather nice Jamaican ginger cake from a little site called chefs vapour (you might have heard of them)? It reminds me of parkin with a secret ingredient...what is that? Either way it's really good, why didn't you tell me! Lol yup, definitely enjoying this one :D

What flavour is the confusion one? I have 4 of the CV ones (forgot about the blue bandit), tried to get 6 but 2 were out of stock. I'm having lots fun with these samples, even if I do only find a couple that I love. OH has gone for an early night, he's back at work tomorrow, think all that driving has worn him out.

I'm trying to save my kona milkshakes, plus a few others that I'm most looking forward to. Think it will be a coffee one tomorrow, I'm already trying to choose!

I chased up that prescription, managed to get 6 days worth and we had real birthday cake! I have never been so happy about a cake, I almost cried. Cheese sandwiches on the pack lunch menu for tomorrow :)

Collection more than usage! :) Sooner I satisfy my curiosity, sooner I may get settled down ...smoking was less intrusive into work time! :) Anyway, that's my excuse....... :unsure:

And we all know what wet ashtray smells like - Yuk! Sounds like the best place for it! Wonder who would enjoy something like that!

...not like I shouted it from the rooftops or anything :D It's seriously nice! First one I got a 30ml bottle of! It seems to taste like a rich syrupy ginger pudding with cream custard on it and a hint of cinnamon!

What flavour is the confusion one? I have 4 of the CV ones (forgot about the blue bandit), tried to get 6 but 2 were out of stock. I'm having lots fun with these samples, even if I do only find a couple that I love. OH has gone for an early night, he's back at work tomorrow, think all that driving has worn him out.
I describe Confusion as a mouthful of clotted cream with a bit of caramel sauce! Rather tasty! I put their RY on top of a small amount and that was lovely too! I'll be getting large bottles of those two!
Have you tried the Spottedick - can't remember?

I've almost used up my small bottle of Confusion, and only have a small amount left of the Mint Choc Vapetto: delicious stuff!
I ordered more on Saturday and got a despatch email tonight!

I'm trying to save my kona milkshakes, plus a few others that I'm most looking forward to. Think it will be a coffee one tomorrow, I'm already trying to choose!
I await the next episode .......

That's so lovely to hear! Is she OK with the food so far then? ...and the medication? I hope it all works out well for all of you!
Why only 6 days, and why are you having to run around to get it?

I'm afraid it doesn't seem to work like that, I settle down on ordering for a few weeks then go into over drive again!

Get back to work you, don't want you given vaping a bad name! Lol :D

Not got the spottedick , I have the 2 coffees and blue bandit left from CV. I remember the clotted cream now! Only problem with these samples, when you find a good one 1ml isn't enough!

Tonight's treat(s) was trip hammer victoria sponge (smells like strawberry jelly cubes) and T-juice java juice (smells like...nothing)! My taste buds must be haywire though because I had been using the java thinking it was the victoria! I'm saving them for a retest tomorrow, everything tastes the same. I had already washed all the tanks and re-wicked them so it's not that.

I got a Freebie sample of mint choc chip thrown in, might give that ago :D

I will PM you about the last bit!

Yes, just as I tell myself I'm all sorted and can forget 'stuff' for a while, off I go again!
Despite not intending to order from TripHammer again because it's 50/50, I couldn't resist just trying a few of those! I find them a bit hit & miss for flavour, but the small bottles aren't too costly and I can always add something to it if need be. For instance, I have a Blueberry Surprise fizz one and think I'll add some lime to it or even mint. Have to think about that one. I ordered Jam Roly Poly but did hesitate over the Victoria Sponge!

I got my CV order today - record time! Was just about out of the Mint Choc Vapetto and Confusion, so glad to have those! I'll get 30ml next time. Got the ABC and Honey Lemon Menthol too but I think they need to steep.
I also bought three flavour concentrates from them too: Mom & Pop brand. the Rasperry Tart has livened up the Fluffy Nut by adding three drops to an Evod, and the Black Cherry Dream has made a mild sweet tobacco one really nice! I have Coffee Cream too but haven't tried adding drops of that to anything yet. I do have a few very mild coffee ones that need livening up though!

Also, I got my MVP with Unitank! That was brave of me! Still in it's box, so will take a look at that later :)

I also got 10 Kanger coils for £1 each, which is great value, and a few eSmart clearomisers3 for £7.40.

Plus, my LT order also arrived - again, record time! Never thought much about getting spearmint, but got Spicata 10ml and it smells rather good, as does Caramel Custard & Caramel Deluxe! Got two different Raspberry and Blackcurrant too, Hazels Dream, & Romba.

So, I have plenty to play with! :)

Get back to work you, don't want you given vaping a bad name! Lol :D
Yes Ma'am! You're quite right, I do need to divert my attention back to my work - getting seriously behind with it.
If I don't paint, I don't even have a chance to earn, and just think: no more vapemail! :( ;) ...not to mention paying the bills! :D

Not got the spottedick , I have the 2 coffees and blue bandit left from CV. I remember the clotted cream now! Only problem with these samples, when you find a good one 1ml isn't enough!
Very true! But, you must admit, it's a very good way to try them! If I could get all VG, I'd probably get some too.
I did get the Virgin Vapors ones yesterday, so not very long from the US. Dripped a bit of each and some are promising! I'll try them properly bit by bit!

Tonight's treat(s) was trip hammer victoria sponge (smells like strawberry jelly cubes) and T-juice java juice (smells like...nothing)! My taste buds must be haywire though because I had been using the java thinking it was the victoria! I'm saving them for a retest tomorrow, everything tastes the same. I had already washed all the tanks and re-wicked them so it's not that.

I got a Freebie sample of mint choc chip thrown in, might give that ago :D
Funny how some days they just don't seem to have enough flavour or 'punch' :)
Did you try the other Virgin Vapor coffee ones yet?

I got the Red Hot Pear in my last CV order and found the clove angle a bit powerful even though the pear did come out a bit better after a week. Today, I added a small amount of Jamaican Ginger to it and it tastes a whole lot better! :)

We finally got shipping from focalecig, our taifun gts have set off, should be here in a week or 2!

I clicked on that silly little check out button again too, ordered a orieco storm rda and got OH the kraken (shhh, it's a surprise)! Got him a 7ml bottle of halo captain jack and I'm going to try the tribeca :)

The mvp (2)? Is fab, I love mine (using it now)! It did take a while to get used to but it's awesome and makes up for it by only needing charging once a week (I rotate set ups so it just gets used for a few hours each day). Came in extremely handy for our trip at the weekend and will definitely be the one to grab for days out.

Not tried a unitank, you'll have to let me know what you think. I've been looking for a origen v2 rba (clone) but no luck so far :-(

I finished those samples off, the java juice was quite nice but not even a hint of coffee in it! It tasted similar to the coconut crack (dried fruit) type flavour, it will be easier to get hold of than that one but I did prefer the leo liquid one.

The Victoria sponge has a very lite but accurate flavour, I picked up the cream, sponge, jam and even the powder icing. Just wish it had more everything! (Still very nice though).

Sounds like LT have been adding more goodies, I'm trying to resist checking!

No wonder your distracted from work, vapemail is far too important and it sounds like your keeping the postie busy :D

Not tried the VV coffees yet, I've got mt baker vaper morning vape (smells like marzipan) it does have a hint of coffee but it's just weird, maybe got some cinnamon (hope my evod survives) Not horrible but I can't call it good either. More than can be said for bumble bee malt toffee, think 1ml of this is 1ml too much! Far too much malt and where's the toffee? tastes like horlicks (or ovaltine) not to my taste at all.

Still got quite a few to try, I'm still looking for that special coffee ♡ maybe kenco should make e liquid! Lol

The CV business must be booming (and out of stock)! That confusion sounds rather nice though :)

I have to go to bed, kids were up silly early this morning (plus half the night, my little boy had a bad dream and was looking for shapes)! I got your PM, I will reply on there in the morning. Glad you got that sorted though, they really need to pay more attention :-(

I was looking at FastTech today. Some good prices! I do still like the eSmart set and Evod/Kanger batteries, so may get a couple of different colours to those I already have plus a few other bits n pieces. It's nice to have a handful of batteries/Evods etc. ready to use with different flavours! :)

Yes, MVP 2 - great to have something that doesn't need charging frequently! Bit heavy/clumsy, but I'll get used to it.
I haven't tried the Unitanks yet (got a mini and a larger one) I'll let you know what they're like when I get to using one. I've been using a Glass Evod on the MVP toady.

I finished those samples off, the java juice was quite nice but not even a hint of coffee in it! It tasted similar to the coconut crack (dried fruit) type flavour, it will be easier to get hold of than that one but I did prefer the leo liquid one.

Sounds like LT have been adding more goodies, I'm trying to resist checking!
I used some Kona Velvet Milkshake with the MVP today and wasn't impressed - had an odd 'dirty' taste somewhere! I think you found that with a coffee one from VV? Plus, it gave me a very strong rapid heart rate!
Not sure about Java Juice - coconut may not be for me.
I found the CV Fluffy Nut similar to the Victoria sponge: nice but not enough of the flavours! I added a few drops of Mom & Pop flavouring from CV: Raspberry Tart! Made it better :) (I also added a few drops of their Black Cherry Dream flavouring to a tank of mild sweet tobacco - nice!)
LT always seem to have something I haven't tried! They arrived but I haven't tried any yet :) I may try the Caramel Custard later!

It is a distraction, that's for sure! :D Doesn't take a lot to distract me either lately. I do wish I could focus on it better ...I must try though!
For me, CV's two coffees are still the best I've had. But, if you find a really good one, do let me know! ;)

CV are good, no doubt about it. I tried the Honey Lemon & Menthol today - really like the lemon and menthol, just not too sure about the honey ..having said that, I did use up the tank!
The ABC is nice too. Needs to steep a bit I think, but I keep getting a bit more! ....just to check of course :blink:
I may try another VV one before the night is done!

I have to go to bed, kids were up silly early this morning (plus half the night, my little boy had a bad dream and was looking for shapes)! I got your PM, I will reply on there in the morning. Glad you got that sorted though, they really need to pay more attention :-(
I've been thinking for some time that it's us that need to pay attention: to what the doctors are/aren't doing!
I was falling asleep while working last night so had to give up and go to bed! I'll try to get a bit more sleep tonight. I can easily sleep 8 hours but have only had 6 per night for a couple of weeks now. Not enough.

I was looking at those Mom & Pops flavourings on CV's site ...so looked for the M&P website today. It says there that they're ready mixed concentrates of their ready to use e-liquids. One bottle should make around 5 bottles when mixed approx. 20% with a nicotine base.
Anyway, I think they'll be ideal to bump up the flavour on any weaker ones I have!
I already got a Raspberry Tart, Cherry Dream & Coffee Cream - haven't tried the coffee one yet, but I'll let you know what it's like when I add a bit to something! They have a few coffee ones.
Looking through them all, there's a lot of possibilities!

Hows the mvp2 working for you? I usually charge mine when the light turns yellow, it's fairly quick too :)

Oh no, I was kinda putting off trying the kona milkshake because I really liked the sound of it, but I was afraid I'd be disappointed with it! Did you get the kona coffee as well as kona velvet? The caramel latte smelled really good and the main flavour was nice but there was a hint of something nasty (OH liked it).

Hope you've put your feet up, I had 2 samples yesterday, so did OH and I have just got 2 more...

Virgin vapour chocolate chip cookie dough, disappointing! Didn't taste like any cookie I've ever tried, it had some sort of spice in it but whatever it was is a mystery.

Revolution vapour coffee, I figured this one sounds nice and simple, just plain old coffee....wrong! I couldn't finish this one, even OH didn't like it and it was more his type of flavour.

OHs

Virgin vapour darkside of the moon (chocolate tobacco), smells so good and chocolaty, taste is more tobacco than chocolate but it did have a real tobacco taste, pretty close to the old H rolling tobacco my step dad smokes.

Vape emporium roasted virginia, really nice smell and great taste. Didn't taste like tobacco but still really good, I only had a few tries (as it was for OH) but I think I would buy a bottle of this one :)

After a couple of disappointing ones I was determined to find good ones tonight so I've played it safe!

Gone for leo liquid again, tigers blood this time (strawberry, watermelon and coconut). Very strong sweet watermelon smell but a nice candy watermelon taste. It is a little on the sweet side but I'm enjoying it.

And

Chefs vapor lews brew, don't think I need to explain this one but I will say a big thank you :) very nice, OH likes it too. Does it have ginger in it? Very happy with tonight's flavours :)

I've been on fasttech too! I was careful just to pick out 'ships next day' items, spent over £20 so I've got free tracking and it's already been shipped :) just got a few bits, coloured tank sections for the taifun and a custom top cap for my kayfun, plus a bunch of drip tips.

My orieco arrived today but I've put the unopened envelope upstairs until OH kracken and the halo arrives (hopefully tomorrow) so it's all eyes on poor old postie :D

I need more sleep too, keep thinking I will go up early but it never happens. My little boy is still unsettled after his bad dream (says he's afraid when he goes in their room, but he didn't ask to go to our room tonight) hopefully he will stay in his own bed now.

It's working fine! I was wondering about how long it takes to charge ...still green so far :) ...ah! it's just gone yellow!
Funny little USB charger isn't it? ...I'm also wondering which mains charger I can use it with.

Oh no, I was kinda putting off trying the kona milkshake because I really liked the sound of it, but I was afraid I'd be disappointed with it! Did you get the kona coffee as well as kona velvet? The caramel latte smelled really good and the main flavour was nice but there was a hint of something nasty (OH liked it).
You may like the Kona Milkshake :) hope you do ..just wasn't quite right for me. I didn't get the Kona coffee, but did get double espresso - haven't tried it yet.

Hope you've put your feet up, I had 2 samples yesterday, so did OH and I have just got 2 more...

Virgin vapour chocolate chip cookie dough, disappointing! Didn't taste like any cookie I've ever tried, it had some sort of spice in it but whatever it was is a mystery.

Only feet up has been when I get to bed! I seem to flounder through the day and never get enough of anything done! I keep giving myself a mental kick up the rear, but it's not working yet! :D
Seems coffee ones are hard to get just right! Most I've tried have either had an odd taste or little taste - only a couple that do taste like coffee.
You really need to try the CV Mint Choc Vapetto. The mint is more of an ice cream coolness, the chocolate excellent and the waffle cone very tasty! definitely my current favourite! Been using it in the same Evod for 10 days now and the coil is still working fine too - surprised seeing how dark it is. I emptied my first bottle this morning so good thing I got another! Next time I order, it'll be a 30ml bottle of that.
I love the Jamaican ginger, but it clogs coils up very quickly - probably because mine's all VG. I did find that if I put 50% with red hot pear it calmed the clove/cinnamon and stopped it clogging up! Bit of a compromise, but I can taste it even in the mix. If a coil lasted 4-7 days I'd cope with that because I like it so much, but it's more like hours before the rot sets in :(

OHs

Virgin vapour darkside of the moon (chocolate tobacco), smells so good and chocolaty, taste is more tobacco than chocolate but it did have a real tobacco taste, pretty close to the old H rolling tobacco my step dad smokes.

Vape emporium roasted virginia, really nice smell and great taste. Didn't taste like tobacco but still really good, I only had a few tries (as it was for OH) but I think I would buy a bottle of this one :)

After a couple of disappointing ones I was determined to find good ones tonight so I've played it safe!

Gone for leo liquid again, tigers blood this time (strawberry, watermelon and coconut). Very strong sweet watermelon smell but a nice candy watermelon taste. It is a little on the sweet side but I'm enjoying it.
The first one sounds good! The Leo one sounds a bit sweet for me ...not sure about watermelon.

And
Chefs vapor lews brew, don't think I need to explain this one but I will say a big thank you :) very nice, OH likes it too. Does it have ginger in it? Very happy with tonight's flavours :)
I don't think there's ginger in it, but it does have a sort of peppery edge, and it's certainly nice! The Caramel Cappuccino is also very nice! They both mix well together too!

I've been on fasttech too! I was careful just to pick out 'ships next day' items, spent over £20 so I've got free tracking and it's already been shipped :) just got a few bits, coloured tank sections for the taifun and a custom top cap for my kayfun, plus a bunch of drip tips.

My orieco arrived today but I've put the unopened envelope upstairs until OH kracken and the halo arrives (hopefully tomorrow) so it's all eyes on poor old postie :D
My next day shipping order left today, so that's good. The other one will be sometime next week for despatch. Good prices! The postmen must wonder what all these little packages are! Some even smell good, so unless they know what it is, they'll be puzzled!

I need more sleep too, keep thinking I will go up early but it never happens. My little boy is still unsettled after his bad dream (says he's afraid when he goes in their room, but he didn't ask to go to our room tonight) hopefully he will stay in his own bed now.
I can remember how hard it was to stop them creeping into our bed! The youngest was convinced he had a monster living under his bed ...all the doing of his elder brother!
The youngest has two small boys of his own: 7 and 5, and one usually ends up in their bed before morning. The eldest is sleeping better now though.

Hope you've been enjoying the sunshine, we have had quite a lazy weekend :)

When I bought my very first kit (the evod starter) I got a wall plug adapter to go with it. Think it was around £5ish from vape escape, I use it for all my ecigs (with their own charge wire).

Those concentrates sound rather good, I usually add a few drops of one liquid into another if it's a bit dull but I wouldn't mind grabbing a few of those. I really want to place an order with CV (hope your getting commission) but it will have to wait a week or two, because thanks to someone it will be a big ish order and I've got a rather long list of vape items I must purchase (again! how do I need all this stuff)?

My OHs kraken arrived yesterday, he signed for the package and was rather excited when I told him to open it! I finally got to open my orieco storm which I love except the 510 connection is too short to fire on my itaste vv v3 or my mvp2. It does look rather awesome on my nemesis though and it holds my 1ml smoke rainbow samples with no leeks (so far).

I need to have another try of the captain jack I got for OH as I can't quite remember the flavour (doh). The tribeca is good, really good. It's got a sweet caramel flavour but it's not sickly, I've been using it quite a lot too. Starting to worry about running out so I've got a 30ml bottle lined up for this weeks order! Tastes seem to change so much with liquids but I'm putting this one up as a definite favourite :D

I've had a couple more samples, T-juice vamp vape (the blood red caramel and coconut). I will pick up more of this one at some point too! Trip hammer's lemon drizzle cake, It's very mild on the flavour again and not very satisfying :-( I might have to try another sample, your twisting my arm on the caramel cappuccino!

OH has Managed to crack the tank on his kraken!

Haven't actually been outside a lot - had 'stuff' going on! Saturday I just got brushes/paint ready to use and one son phoned ..could he come and wash his car. Said yes of course, and he arrived just before the elder one turned up with his 'intended'. He'd come to help me get a 'new' camera set up properly as I was having problems. We couldn't work it out so he took it away with him to see if he could find something out. So that was the afternoon gone! Got a few jobs done in the house, something to eat and got on with work!
Was anticipating a couple of hours in the garden this afternoon before eldest son and fiancée came for pasta and a glass of wine! Didn't get that time in the garden ...had a cup of coffee out there and the doorbell rang: they'd come early to help with the camera, so couldn't grumble. After a while of us messing around with two cameras and two lens, he noticed something move when changing lens ...closer inspection showed the macro lens was damaged! No wonder the photos had been bad! So, I've had to buy a new macro lens on top of a new camera ...not exactly pleased about that, but I'll see if I can claim from the insurance as the tripod/original camera getting knocked over was an accident.
I'm yet to see if the new camera works well with a properly functioning macro lens!
So no, not seen a lot of the nice weather :( - just hoping for at least a bit of warm weather left tomorrow for just an hour to relax!

When I bought my very first kit (the evod starter) I got a wall plug adapter to go with it. Think it was around £5ish from vape escape, I use it for all my ecigs (with their own charge wire).
I use a 500 output one for most of the Evod type stuff, but seems I can use the 1000 output for the MVP ..charged fine in 5 hours or less.

Those concentrates sound rather good, I usually add a few drops of one liquid into another if it's a bit dull but I wouldn't mind grabbing a few of those. I really want to place an order with CV (hope your getting commission) but it will have to wait a week or two, because thanks to someone it will be a big ish order and I've got a rather long list of vape items I must purchase (again! how do I need all this stuff)?
Nope, no commission from CV! :D I think the concentrates are rather clever - depends how good they are in use, but we'll see! The Cherry one certainly livened up a rather dull tobacco one! I'll try the coffee cream one soon. I jotted down a number that sound really interesting, and will very likely make some weaker liquids good.
There's a few CV ones I really like but make me short of breath, so that's a shame! Definitely strawberry and perhaps pineapple plus others. At least the Mint Chocolate Vapetto is good! I'm OK with the Spottedick too and the Jamaican ginger, but it clogs up the coil in VG! That Honey & Lemon Menthol would be better for me without the honey! ..but I still use it :)
I came across a Grizzly one today that is all VG: Polar bear. There's only three of them but two sound good for me: Polar bear and a chocolate one.

My OHs kraken arrived yesterday, he signed for the package and was rather excited when I told him to open it!

Funny how this weeks favourite can become 'just so-so' another week!
Interesting to see this on Halo's website in regards to the PG/VG ratio:This is proprietary information which we are unable to share at this time. There are many companies looking to duplicate Halo e-liquid, and we prefer not to offer any specific information regarding ratios or specific ingredients. Not very helpful if you're sensitive to a lot of PG!
I do like the CV's RY though and like mixing in a bit of confusion too! :)

I've had a couple more samples, T-juice vamp vape (the blood red caramel and coconut). I will pick up more of this one at some point too! Trip hammer's lemon drizzle cake, It's very mild on the flavour again and not very satisfying :-( I might have to try another sample, your twisting my arm on the caramel cappuccino!

I've tried a few of Trip Hammer and most are too mildly flavoured for me. Still, they have PG in them so I console myself with that! I do have the Jelly Babies & Rhubarb Pastilles and they smell good ...no indication of taste though. Gingerbread Latte has no taste yet!
CV's Caramel Cappuccino is rather good! ...I do have a 30ml bottle of both their coffee ones! :)

What cracked the tank?

I did try to look for the pg/vg on the halo, wondered why I couldn't find it! It's definitely a flavour that will 'turn bad' I'm still enjoying it for now, but I keep expecting to pick it up and not like it any more.

I really enjoyed the CV caramel cappuccino, OH wasn't bothered but it's my fav coffee sample so far. Might get a bottle instead of the tribeca. I've not had any samples today, been feeling a little rubbish.

I've been using some of my favourite flavours, makes a nice change instead of trying to use up the ones I probably wont buy again :)

Sounds like you've had a busy house :) We've had dentist appointments this week and my little girl has been on her school trip to the tropical butterfly house. I hope you get that camera sorted :-(

The tank was glass, OH cracked it working out the hot spots on his coil build. I've ordered him a couple of spares, hopefully they last longer!

The Caramel Cappuccino is certainly the best I've had so far.
Hope you're feeling better today :)

I get days like that too - stick with what I know I like! I'm still happy with the Mint chocolate Vapetto a lot of the time, and that Honey Lemon Menthol has really grown on me! The lemon & menthol are really nice, and I'm getting to like the honey.
I ordered 30ml of the Vapetto, RY and another - either Twisted or the Honey lemon one. Got some more 10mls in a couple more. I have to be careful with the Twisted, but the added cool is rather lovely with the lime - the strawberry/pineapple seems to be mild, so I can use a little.
I found another VG one: Grizzly and ordered the Polarbear. It's a menthol with banana and tobacco ..neither of which are more than mild, so it's a nice one to use.
I also ordered some more of the concentrated Mom & Pops flavours. I think they'll be very useful to liven up any I have that are too tame.

Sounds like you've had a busy house :) We've had dentist appointments this week and my little girl has been on her school trip to the tropical butterfly house. I hope you get that camera sorted :-(

It's been busier today. Had the main distribution board replaced with one more suited to the house ..the one it was built with 21 years ago was pretty inadequate. Electricity been off for 5 hours, but they brought a generator which powered the computer, router and a kettle, plus their power tools. Nice! Didn't get much of anything done though.
Once I got a new macro lens, the camera I'd bought worked perfectly well. So I'm glad to have the worry of that off my mind! I did make a claim on the insurance and they had the camera & lens collected today. We'll see what they say.
I got an email today to tell me that the upcoming contents renewal had been revised due to 'changes you made to your details' ...once I logged in and viewed it, the change was the fact we'd made a claim in the past 5 years: the claim made earlier this week!!! It increased the annual fee by £13. I'd expected any rise to show up next year!
Makes me wonder what insurance is for if we end up paying for any claims made. Never claimed for anything apart from a carpet back in the 70's!
Hoppe your daughter enjoyed the butterfly house!
It was my husbands birthday on Monday and our anniversary yesterday ...should be going out for lunch on Friday, but I'm not sure I'm in the mood after such a fraught week of stuff to deal with and very little work done. All I really want is a week of uneventful days to just get things moving again.

Glad the cameras OK :) Hmmm, it is strange that they bumped up your insurance already (I wouldn't be happy about that either)!

I have no idea what a distribution board is but at least the kettle was working :D

I'm feeling much better today, been into town and took my little boy to the cafe for dinner (no cooking)! Then home for a nap :D

I'm trying the kona velvet tonight, only in small doses though! Wow that's strong, think I'm going to have to dilute it, might be OK if I get a craving. I've started getting fed up with that tribeca, it seemed extremely sweet today, I think it's more suited for occasional use.

I've been loading up the shopping cart again! Ordered OH another 30ml of caramel cappuccino from grizwald and I got 3 10ml bottles from grey haze, azteca blue cow (same as the strawberry milkshake but blueberry) azteca tropical typhoon and grey haze coconut. Got a couple different colour airflow controllers for my orieco storm and ordered 2 caravela mech mods (clones). Along with the focalecig and 2 fasttech orders we are now waiting on 7 lots of vapemail! Hope they all arrive for the weekend :D

I've picked out another nemesis and rda too, think I need therapy :-/

Happy birthday to your OH and happy anniversary to you both :)

We've got an empty day tomorrow so no doubt I will be catching up around the house, it's supposed to be raining so at least I might have an excuse to not mow the gardens! (Sure it can wait until the weekend).
