Good idea mate, I'll do that if I can one of his posts.

It might just be me, think I've been a bit spoiled with the clouds from the Kayfuns. If I close my eyes when I vape the Aios, there's not a problem. It's a satisfying vape for flavour, throat hit and nic fix - just not vapour.

Suppose I could get the red and the purple nemmies when my rebate points top up, I've still got more attys than mods. Plus it would fill up 2 more spaces in my display stand :laugh: It wouldn't be right if there's no FT orders on here to moan about :p

Okay mate just waiting for my supper to arrive, so i am logging off till later on. If not catch you tomorrow.:)

EDIT just noticed daz 2013 is on the forum now mate.

Cheers matey, SGP erratic to say the least 1st order took just over a month the next 2 were 3ish weeks and an order i made at Focalecig shipped with SGP on the 2nd April hit the UK on the 11th still think FT use the cheapest shipping method possible but who knows and there all coming through eventually!

From SGP saying dispatched to GB, 1st took 7 days, 2nd 14 days and last 3 parcels 23 days, I now have 3 (FT split 1 parcel) coming via Swiss Post paying the extra $1, and 1 via China Post, all shipped within a day of each other, so will wait and see how long they take, someone on a FB group I belong to reckons CP better than SGP because HMRC has problem with SGP, but my take is that HMRC are just holding everything up at the Langley Facility, probably haven't got enough staff, also I don't know why the Royal Mail Express Post is always showing as not available.

plus put together a computer station that was so big you could virtually live in it :laugh:

Bet it was not as big as my monster in the spare bedroom which I use as a den, 4'7" tall, 4'3" wide and 2'3" depth, my computer case itself is 526H x 231W x 562D (mm), plus I have networked drives and switches that have their own spaces both upstairs and downstairs, and I do virtually live in it :blush:

Ian or Terry, how long do you normally leave your CV juices before you use them, the 1st order I left for 14 days, but have just received my 2nd batch, and wondered if I could try them after 7 days. Got Confusion, Orange Custard Creme, SpD&C, Jamaican Ginger and The Disciple to try.

Hey bob i think it is mainly tobacco juices which take a week or two to steep. Anything else inc the ones you mentioned,
should be ok to try after a few days only. I read it on one of the vendors sites could have been trip hammers, not too sure though.

When I got my first CV batch they included a note that said it had to steep for 7 to 14 days, no tobacco ones, I never found one I liked.

Nah had that a couple of nights back. keema sandwich with hot sauce on garlic nan bread, with some chips. :D

Sounds delicious mate. I love hot sauce, you can't beat a bit of heat.

Bet it was not as big as my monster in the spare bedroom which I use as a den, 4'7" tall, 4'3" wide and 2'3" depth, my computer case itself is 526H x 231W x 562D (mm), plus I have networked drives and switches that have their own spaces both upstairs and downstairs, and I do virtually live in it :blush:

Sounds like a similar size to the one that I built. Took me ages to put it all together. It was a corner unit, with a desk base that had three separate shelves on each side under the desk. Then two towers units on top of the desk, one with a locking cupboard the other with separate shelves. Then a top shelf linking the two towers together. It was that heavy it came in 3 separate large boxes :ohmy:

You've got a fair bit of kit there Bob, bet it's a nightmare when dusting :laugh:

As Terry said, some tobaccos can take up to a month to steep. But most fruit flavours only take a few days. I generally leave all my juices for at least a week, just to be on the safe side. But if I want to test them earlier, I'll do a bit of dripping, or check the smell. If they smell chemical like then I'll leave them. More complex flavours can take a couple of days longer to full meld too.

If you gave them a daily shake, uncap them and replace the air in the bottle with fresh air, this can speed up steeping too Bob. Plus leaving them uncapped in a dark cupboard also speeds things up. I've experimented wit heat too, but to be honest, I don't think it makes a huge difference.

Thats what i do mate, in a drawer at my side LOL, uncapped a good shake now and then, squeeze the air out gently, and put away again. I repeat that process when i remember too.:)

Well I was hoping for a quiet day today - no chance of that :(

The Wife had other plans, shopping, the bank, garden centre etc, etc.

I've got your parcel ready to go Terry, well yours and Ron's. Will have to be tomorrow, I'm on an early, so I can post them after work. By the time the Wife gave me some free time it was 6pm. It's hard being under the thumb :laugh:

I'm sending you some :

coffee and cinnamon Danish,
Terry's jungle juice,
more of the berry blast,
blackcurrant (which I think I've almost perfected now),
butterscotch surprise (no banana in it),
sherbert lemons (from Steamgunk).

I'll be interested to see what you think of the revised blackcurrant mix. I've stripped it back to basics and it does taste better than when I added sweetener, cream and smooth.

Dusting, whassat then, :blink: If it gets too bad I get the small dyson out.

Thanks, will give them a try in a couple of days or so. I've just started on the Atmos Labs stuff I got from Vapour Art, the Macchiato is quite nice, nothing like the real one (drink) I tried in Vape Lab (the new coffee/vapers shop ), that was disgusting. Trying to order some GVC at the moment, but problems trying to get it, the GVC site is having problems and VA are moving shop, so that's playing up as well.

The first CV batch I just left them in the top of the wardrobe (got one of those lift up sections now re-dedicated to storing juice) for the full 14 days and they tasted just great, had to do the shake/replace air thing with some Hangsen Mocca I got from eJuiceBox, 1st bottle tasted so good I ordered some more but the second batch didn't taste right, still doesn't even after a month (sort of tobacco taste), wonder if the labels got messed up, was cheap stuff so might end up throwing it.

Going to have to taste my AC & Digbys juices soon as well.
