That was like me, with the LMP the lemon was too tart and probably why I was not overly keen on it, of course it also depends on what atty you use it in as well.
I have the Steamgunk LMP, and to me it was sweet like lemon curd. Posset, despite the cream, has a clean lemon taste with a hint of something like angelica or anise.

I am sure you will be fine trish, once you get back on track. I know we have had this conversation before regarding GP`s, but have you not visited your`s recently, or are you just using the meds what your son gave you ?
The meds my son gave me are the ones the doctor would prescribe, and the medical profession isn't even sure that they work properly, just have nothing better other than an anti sickness one. If I'm careful, it doesn't make me nauseous, but in case it does, I have some of those too (they're only motion sickness pills basically).
Only today, I was reading current treatment etc. and nothing has changed. It's mostly a case of letting it take it's course and hoping it goes sooner rather than later.

The focus issue is, I'm certain, something to do with not smoking cigarettes. The nicotine we have now is a refined extract, and even WTA isn't quite the same ..does help a bit though. It makes sense that everything I've done, achieved, learned etc. in my adult life has been while using cigarettes! I'm not the only one affected in this way either - but then, not everyone gets this problem either.
The things that may help are nootropics - a collection of various types of supplement that help with concentration, focus, etc. I did a lot of reading and have identified the two that may be the most effective for me. Some are effective with conditions such as Alzheimer's, others are used by students studying or writers, musicians, others by people such as myself.
I just don't want to take them until the vertigo settles down, because there's always a chance they'll affect it even more I suppose.

The description of it on CV's site is exactly how it tastes for me- you use different equipment to me too, so it's bound to be different :)

Yes as bob says, different Atties do produce different flavours, but having said that like yourself i do find chefs descriptions very accurate indeed. :)

Mine edited to reflect your answer :)
Thanks Bob :)

They are, and that's really helpful.
I did find the strawberry & elderflower one lacking in elderflower, but it's a nice strawberry ..not strong, but good. That'll mix well with the Strawnilla too, but with the Vapetto one, it's really good!

Funny, one of our sons was here yesterday and remarked at an odd smell from what I'd been using ...I asked did it make him think of passing the brewery and smelling the warm malt & hops? Yes! - It was the Long Shift I'd been using with a small bit of Lews Brew & ABC in it. It doesn't taste like the brewery though - more the description I gave earlier :)
I just got 30ml of Long Shift!

What! Doesn`t taste like brewery ??? Not interested then :laugh: Probably the wrong time to ask now as it is late, and i am logging off soon, but what is the taste like of the long shift trish ? I am quite happy with SG RY4 and chefs RY, but i may try some of the long shift in future.

It's a difficult one - definitely I'd say a strong RY with perhaps maple syrup, vanilla, even a hint of hops ...a warm, earthy one with perhaps toasted caramel too - then a bit of almond on the exhale. Just how I find it, and with the small amounts of Lews Brew and ABC, it's closer to the Wakonda from NT which I can't use on it's own because of the PG.
Lew made me this in VG as usual, and told me to steep it for three weeks! :)

Just to let you all know this isn't ron writing this. As I have gone around to see ron and he has collapsed. I have taken him to hospital and they have kept him in I don't know what they are doing at the moment there is talk of taking him down to ICU. Don't know what is wrong at the moment but I will let you all know as this forum is all he talks about.
I am Tom by the way Rons brother and yes I am still vaping
I will keep looking in and give you the news as I get it but if I am honest he looks awful

Hi Tom - that's awful news! Ron is lucky to have had you around today!
Do let us know how he is when you can. Hope whatever caused his collapse can be found and dealt with quickly.

No doubt the others will add to this when they see your post, but do give him our very best wishes.

Hi this is Tom again a small update that think he collapsed because he stopped taking his diclofenic. Its a tablet to stop swelling so his body swelled back up and put pressure on his organs they have him asleep at the moment. They said they will keep him asleep on machines until the swelling comes back down 24-48 hours then they will wake him back up.
So it looks like its his own doing but I understand he wont take a tablet one day more than he needs to
If I find anymore information I will let you know
Time to raid his fluid cupboard if I can find it and see what flavours he has got I think I will be allowed I am his brother after all

Okay thanks, i will try 10 ml next time i place an order :)
Assuming they're currently shipping batteries, there's a couple of VV batteries on FastTech that look interesting ...just wondering if any of you know anything about the brands etc. Both have fixed decent capacity batteries in them and 510 fittings:

https://www.fasttech.com/products/1411/10008142/1725001
They just look like generic batteries to me trisha, but it seems like a good price.

Thanks for the update Tom. Hope he's much improved in the next day or two.
I'm not one for taking anything if I don't feel the need, but perhaps no-one explained the implications to him fully regarding the drugs actions and the likely/possible outcome if he didn't take them.
At least you got him to the right place!

I think you'll like it :)
I just wish I could use the NT Wakonda or H1N1 by themselves! Both are very good ...haven't seen anyone say they don't like them so far, especially the H1N1.

They just look like generic batteries to me trisha, but it seems like a good price.
Anything to choose between the two that you can see?
 
i´am sorry to hear bad news about 1 member of the forum. I hope that Ron gets better.

I wanna ask a question.
I´m portuguese, and in october I´m going to live in UK so I ask if I there are problems ordering things from fasttech, and things to be alert.
For example, in Portugal if I place an order that costs more than 40 Euros, the customs services will ask me to pay one fee.

If I had to choose one, I'd personally go for the cover overlord one. It doesn't have any reviews but I can find more mention of it online and even for sale in another vape shop. Also it's stainless steel and the other is aluminium in the ft description. I just prefer stainless steel. Also it's slimmer and looks better than the other one.

Although as terry said they are just generic batteries. I thought you were waiting for the new kanger one?

Yes wish him well from us and hopefully he'll be ok once he's awake and back on the meds.

I'm yet to see any problem with values on labels ;)

Thanks Adam - I like SS over aluminium too.

...and your point is? :lol: :laugh:

Seriously, I just threw one of my first Kanger Evods this morning ...thread 'tired' :) I have two of my MVP's spoken for with two CV every day ones in Nautilus mini's, and I'm not happy with the temperamental charging on the Spinner ll's ...leaves a couple of gaps for something a little better, and those will need less re-charging.
