Good morning everyone. Just wanted to check in and let ya know that, technically speaking, I am still alive. Although there were a couple days I probably wished I wasn't. I had one absolutely nasty head cold & fever that pretty much knocked me out. But its finally going away and I somehow managed not to spread it to loved ones or even co-workers (although not for a lack of effort LOL)

Grats on the new flavors Don. Looking forward to trying them out.

For those of you who care (I don't) Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentines day to all! Questions:
How long should I shake up BWBs juices to fully mix them and if I refill the following day is there much separation over a 24 hr. period?
I quit smoking analogs in Aug. when I discovered e-cigs. Lately I have been experiencing inconsistent taste with my 3 fav juices from BWB-RY4, Casa and Backo. I don't know what to attribute it to. Is it a hardware issue (I use a GoGo and VV passthru although it is a little better at 4.2 volts), I have had the same issue with a GoGo carto in a tank mod and a 3.5ml 510 Clear Clearomizer(my current fav). I clean and rebuild my cartos so its not that they are old and tired. My batteries date to Aug. and Sept. could they be weakening? I should test output when freshly charged. I've read about people's tastes changing when they quit but I think that happens earlier in the process (yes/no?). It has been a little over 6 months so I would think that's not the problem. Somedays everything tastes great. Anyone have any thoughts?
I noticed this morning that Casa is out, I was waiting for another fav to reappear before ordering but I guess I should have ordered anyway but I remember Don saying that he wouldn't run out of Casa for a long time-heavy sigh, I hate it when I screw myself by being a slacker!

Urge, I've been vaping for a bit over 6 mos now and I still have times like you are describing. Hate it when it happens and wish I had an answer. Hope it passes quickly for you.

Hi Urge.......I, too, experience inconsistent taste with my favorites from time to time. There are a couple of my favorites that aren't back to normal (as favorites) for me yet, but I expect my taste buds to return to normal eventually. I have been vaping these juices for almost 11 months and my favorites change among them frequently.

Urge - I'm right there with ya. I've been smoke free for over 17 months now. For the past several weeks my tasty buds are friggin whacked. I had a cold a few weeks ago and I swear all I could taste in my Casa was Malty! lol I still get the hint of it once in a while and lately I'm not getting any solid flavor or even that hint of cocoa. I just opened a new Vision carto and that worked for about 6 hours and I'm right back into this hum drum vape. I'm about to say screw it and just start drinking my Casa. LOL

Bottom line is, I think it's our hardware and our taste buds. It still blows my mind that I went through my entire adult life and had no idea how erratic our taste is. Drink lots of water and to give your tasty buddies a good smack try eating some salted pistachios. yeah.. idk either but it worked great the other day. lol

I personally have had it happen to me once, and I've heard tell of people who regularly have this problem: They work out a rotation of 3 or 4 favorite juices, using them pretty much exclusively. And then after some time, those 3 or 4 flavors just die for them. The solution that worked for me is to vape something for a while that is more or less opposite of what you normally vape. For example, if you are mainly into straight tobacco vapes, then temporarily switching to a bakery flavor for a couple days might help. If you normally like the sweet vapes then obviously go to something less sweet, or move to a tobacco flavor for a short time.

Urge, i'm not sure if that will help you, but it might be worth a shot.

totally random question: Does anyone in the crew own (or have owned in the past) an RV? I might possibly be taking a long trip and after some initial research i'm thinking that an RV might actually be my best option for living arrangements while i'm gone. I could use some input from someone who has done the RV living thing before. PM me if you have any input. Thanks!

Thanks to bully mom, Rar, vapspaz and phorbin for takin' the time. I guess I didn't realize the scope of this problem. This really sucks! Maybe I should go on a fast or something, I'd be seriously tempted to go back to analogs if this didn't go away. I guess I'll have to try different kinds of juices. I really love the tobacco juices so maybe I'll give phorbin's suggestion a shot. Any recommendations for BWB juices that would be a change of pace from RY4, Casa , Backo and 555 Exotic?

On another note, I spent 2 1/2 hours cooking a nice dinner for my baby tonight and then I cooked for the dog and then I cleaned up after everyone. Ma nishtanah (Why should today be any different from any other day?) It was a great meal though.

You could give Waffle a try. I like it a lot and Casa, 555E and RY4 are my favorites. I think it goes great with coffee in the morning. It seems be overlooked by a lot of BWBers, but it's a pretty strong and tasty vape!
