Looks like you might be winning the race then mate

yes mate mine And yours

Anyone tried these from Nicoticket, The Virus (H1N1), Wakonda, & Custard's Last Stand, I just ordered 10ml of each to try, need something different. I have been reading they will need steeped for a while, how long is the question and how did you like them? I know taste is subjective, just wanting to get an idea. I won't get them until the 1st as I'll be out of town from Thursday to Sunday on a short break (fishing).

That's the main reason I picked the orchids, the v4 has 2 massive air ports

For me that's the main restriction on a lot of Kayfuns, even with the adjustable airflow, some of them are still too tight on the draw. I've even drilled out a couple of Kayfuns that have the adjustable airflow. I do like to tinker though, so any excuse to get the drill out

Trisha has the two tobacco ones mate (Virus & Wakonda).

I've had the Custards Last Stand though Burnie. Lovely vape, not quite as good as Grants Vanilla Custard, but it does come a very, very close second. When I first got mine it was nice and creamy, but over time it got darker and better. I finished the last of it about a month ago. First tasted it about 10 months ago, so it was well steeped when I finished it off It's a very complex blend, you'll taste different levels in the juice, all NT juices seem to be this way.

From what I've heard, the longer you can leave the 2 others the better they get too. I know their pre-steeped, but I'd put them away for at least a month before you try them.

Sounds like it will be Christmas before I try them, except for a little taste when they get here.
Just like waiting on an order from China, but looking at it every day instead of watching tracking.
I have a NET I am making, Brightleaf Flue Cured Tobacco, that will be ready to filter in about a week, so that will need mixed and steeped also, so looks like the end of December I will have lots to try.

You never know mate, they could be good to go straight away. If they've had a good pre-steep by the peeps at NT already. I always seem to leave any new juice for quite a while though before trying it, I've got loads of patience

You could always get your other half to hide the juices for a couple of months, that way you won't be tempted

I had a flue cured one ages ago burnie, and i can`t for the life of me remember where i got it, but it was a damn good vape. In fact next time i order some liquids i will have a look round for some to try. Will be a nice change from the ry vapes what i constantly have

These new smilies are great
I don't have much idea when it comes to wines to be honest. I do prefer a sweet wine though, can't stand a dry wine - most taste like vinegar to me

yes, can tell you like the smilies
The wines I mentioned are not dry, and not particularly sweet, and they have a rich fruity berries & plums sort of flavour - very good with food, and particularly with beef & lamb!

Yeah you're right most over the counter stuff, they do tend to go a bit OTT with the warnings. But like you say, it's probably best to err on the side of caution with medication. Being married generally keeps my BP high

They give a lower advised dosage than if a doctor prescribed the same thing, but over the counter stuff needs that because they're so much easier to get! I get the tablets in packs of 4 boxes of 9 tablets online so they last me a long time.
I can actually buy prescription stuff via an online private prescription service ...you do have to answer an online form designed for whatever it is you're wanting, but it's very good for stuff the doctor won't prescribe on NHS (a cream for psoriasis is one I get - works far better than the NHS generic one!) I can also get Ventolin for when I get breathing problems ...try explaining the intricacies of e-liquid & flavourings to a doctor!

Well so far I've just been dripping one of the concoctions, cloudy lemon mixed with bilberry, quite nice so I'll be keeping that one to try in a tank. Next up will be sunshine with passion fruit. I'm going through the lighter coloured juices first.

the iStick does look a nice compact size.

I was wondering if you'd tried anything with the bilberry ...I really like that one with the Cookie - getting some pie crust soon. Both of those sound really good! I saw a Limoncello & Blackberry one the other day, so what you made isn't too different!
The iStick is neat - if I curl my hand around it you can't see it (I have medium size hands) and all you see is the mini Nautilus or MOW sticking out!

I have been reading a very long thread about iSticks. I'll post a bit of info later.

Sometimes a slight sub-ohm build can make a difference for the better though. I don't really go deep into sub-ohm builds, but I've got a couple of builds that I use regularly at 0.8 ohms, I've found they can bring out the creamier elements of a juice. Micro coils are much better IMHO, better flavour production and throat hit.

One thing I think I've realised from reading that long thread (or part of it!) with the iSticks is that a 2.0ohm coil is better than 1.5!
Terry found a difference going higher.

The Virus & Wakonda are great! CLS is good too! Wakonda will need to steep, but do try a little bit before setting it aside! CLS also gets better with steeping, and can go on improving.
Virus is wonderful! Right away it's good and each week, you could taste something slightly different! I had to mix mine with 80% Crème Brule because of the PG content ...but, I could taste vanilla/caramel, maple, hint of almond, mocha, latte, a light hint of spice ...many things - and not a big tobacco taste - it's just brilliant in my view ..and why I find it a bit heart-breaking that I can't use it!
Wakonda is the same - very good, but you won't get the black coffee properly right away (again, try a little bit so you can compare as it steeps) It's another complex flavour with layers just like Virus is and includes vanilla, custard, coffee, mellow tobacco. The coffee is a flavour from the NET. It's another that makes me sad because I can't use it!
NT have recently gone to glass bottles but only as the plastic ones go out of stock. In glass, the use by date is a year from the made date, so you can judge how old/steeped it is when you get it.
A really good thing with NT's is the mixability of them - it's amazing how well they mix with each other. A lot like the Virus as is and also with either CB or CLS in varying ratios, but they all go with many things in the range.

If for any reason you aren't too impressed on arrival, let them steep and try a tiny bit each week ...you'll be able to taste the differences in the Wakonda and Virus. Some people let them sit, others use them and enjoy the gradual changes as it mature - particularly Virus!
CLS is like any other custard: improves with steeping.

Sounds like it will be Christmas before I try them, except for a little taste when they get here.

I have three NET's coming from Heathers Heavenly Vapes, and will get another two/three ordered soon from Indigo direct. I have one Indigo coming from Cloud House France that is half RY, half a NET. (Eastwood: combo of Duke & RY)
They're customisable, and I ordered mine in max VG, so with luck I'll find something I really like!

I've been reading part of a rather long thread on the iStick. Generally, most people love them for their obvious advantages and performance, but there is the odd issue, and a few naysayers here and there.
A few interesting bits here and there ...very funny because they started to refer to the wattage/voltage as 'iStick Watts' due to them generally needing to be a whole step lower than on other batteries! I'm not the only one that uses theirs at 5-5.5 or 6!

They work better with coils of 1.8 or 2.0 - so I'll be careful not to use my 1.5 (I do have a box somewhere) - I do prefer the 2.0ohm.
Those that use tanks tend to use the mini Nautilus and MOW too - just what I use.
There's a bendy/bending adapter that apparently also (apart from folding the tank down) protects the threads as it has a 510 floating pin (which seem to be a weak spot): Eleaf iStick Bending Adapter - Worth getting one?

Seems there's a v2 coming sometime in the first half of 2015, and may be a 50W. (These things always seem to take longer than expected though - MVP3 was supposed to be out before Christmas ..no sign yet I think)

Is that for when the full charge + low wattage anomaly occurs or just in general Trish ?

Eleaf istick bending adapter :- I cant find any reviews on it but in my opinion if it will save your

threads and give you a spring loaded 510 pin I'd certainly have one - can you use it with ego toppers ?

Most definitely trisha. When my first I-Stick arrived, i put a tank on with a 1.3 ohm coil and took a hit. Even on it`s lowest setting it tasted burnt Then good old bob posted the chart, and explained about the sticks not regulating the power down on a fully charged battery, So i was actually vaping at 14 watts.

It`s then that i took a good look at the chart and realised if i built my coils around 1.8 ohms, even on a fully charged battery, set at it`s lowest watts it can only put out 10 watts, which is where i like to be, but i have still got the option of turning the watts up to 16 if i choose to. with a 1.8 resistance coil.

I've read too much tonight and my brain is scrambled! - I tend to remember the solution rather than the cause & symptoms! ...think it's because people were getting a burnt taste and dry hits. My thoughts were that they hadn't got used to the need to drop the wattage on these compared to other things, and watch the volts reading, but they do seem to find they have far fewer problems with 1.8 or 2.0ohm coils.
Think I've got that right ...it's a long thread and I read the last 33 pages! (and also the first six too)

Something I have noticed: mine tend to read a slightly higher ohms than is in it - I'm currently using one with a 2.0ohm at 5W but it reads 2.2!

Dunno - haven't really checked into it! I like my mini Nautilus and MOW tanks so would need to use both.

I had one tonight where the iStick ran low on battery so I charged it and put the tank on an iPow 2 while it charged up. Tried to put it back and it wouldn't fire, so I cleaned the pin, cleaned the adapter, cleaned the base of the tank, then tightened the coil ...no good! Tried it on another iStick: same! ...light bulb moment: new coil -perfect!
The coil had been in there almost 3 weeks (Doughnut King) and obviously, the iStick doesn't like dying coils even if they do still work on something else. I had needed to turn the iPow 2 up too, so that explains it.
