Beat the Winter blues Contest

[Reddhott]

alot use too and some still do... i myself buy from vendors that have what i like...even if they arent posting on ecf alot.
some vendors have different reasons they cant be on like they use too, ive been here awhile and ive seen them come and go..i think some get helpers and such for their threads..nothing wrong in that, i go by customer service and products and in the ease of being able to contact them. hope that helps

just a question for all entered in the contest do you experience other vendors, ecf or elsewhere that interact with customers, fellow vapers or customers to the degree that I would like to think that I do? just curious

And here I thought that in cartoon land, the sun always rises with a smile and the daisies dance and sing! I hope you're surviving okay, though. Seems like much of the country is suffering weather-wise in some form or another...

 

[Reddhott]

in my fantasy world its like that! hahahahhaha

I use the tips that came with the tanks. I have seen some other tips that I thought I might like (Innokin iClear 30 knuckle anyone?) only to find that you either buy an expensive tip or a permanently mounted tip.

Or, I could be cheap - er, I mean picky - like Count.

I only have metal and 1 cheap plastic one too and the only place I looked at them was at 2 vape shops and they had nothing. When I look online I really can't tell how they would feel.....I mean will they feel cheap?? What I'd really like to find is a soft one...lol like a filter cigarette type ...something with some give...kind of like the cheap ones they cover the drip tips with when you are at a tasting bar...but I don't want a cheap one like that just something soft instead of the hard plastic or metal....does someone even make that kind??? Thanks for listening to my rambling just figured someone might have come across something like that???

 

[Debadoo]

Yes, Bruce is the one who answers the phone. Whenever you have a question about your order, you can call him, and he will help. His contact info is right there on the site. I've called him a few times!

that's awesome!!

Thanks Deb! No, keep chatting or entering, we will miss you if you don't. You could do what Count is doing on another contest. If you win, it will be piffed to the next eligible post. For example, if you win, and the next post is Bruce or I, it won't go to us, instead it will go to the first eligible post below that.

How does that sound?

Awwww thanks and jup that sounds good. Still got a couple more pages to read so will enter with comments on those. Now everyone, post after me! lol

The ECF community is full of amazing, generous and giving people. Love seeing things like this, it restores my faith, as they say.

That is a really nice pif!!

Thanks, but this is nothing compared to some of what I see (especially since it's only if I win), but even doing a little can make a difference to someone.

HAhahahah!!! Stosh, I love that emoticon, it makes me happy to watch and I want one as a pet! Being in the warm south I feel for you all dealing with all the snow and I wish I could pif a whole load of sunshine to ya'!!

I know I shouldn't bring this up, but on Thursday I needed to run out to my local vape store to pick something up and I didn't go out because it was too cold. It only got up to 68 degrees and I was freezing!

A person after my own heart!! Anything below 70 is just below! 60 is 10 below! Of course, we've got some real freezing and below freezing weather coming our way again. We've been going back and forth. I love that emoticon too too cute!

It's better than the magic pill the FDA approved, because with vaping, you don't go out and commit suicide or kill your spouse!!!

Unless they swipe your vape gear!!

I think that is probably why there are so few kits out there. Everyone has different needs, so one size doesn't fit all!

yeah I'd rather be able to pick my own. But I've always had a hard time finding a site where I could get everything I need. Came pretty close once and used them for a long time.

I also agree with whoever was talking about the drip tips. Now those posted are great and seemed like a great price, but having very few vape $ I can't see spending a ton on tips. Although those purdy ones sure are nice!

 

[JoanJ]

There is nothing wrong with the cheap acrylic drip tips if they give you the vape experience that you are looking for. I haven't seen any tips like you are looking for Ladybear but I will file that away if I do ever come across something like that.

I would love to have the
Glass mini Vivi Nova tank
I have the plastic ones, but have never had a glass one!

I love my smoktech FBC tank and my smoktech ARO tank! They are my favorites! Recently I have started using a kanger evod2 tank, and I love it too

Ummm, no you wouldn't..... I had felt the same and saw some soft silicon tips on a site, bought one to try, and all I can say is HORRIBLE. They are nothing like a filter tip, the feel is just all wrong.

Best drip tip I've had came with a Vapeonly 3.5ml BCC, it was a flat tip, like what's used on a Have-A-Tampa cigar only a bit thinner, great tip terrible tank.

It was a standard 510 size and I used with a variety of toppers, of course I dropped my mod while it was in a tank and broke it.

Bruce... made myself a Rice Krispie Treat juice... not bad fresh but will give it some time. Used Rice Krispies, Toasted Marshmallow, Vanilla Swirl, and a few drops of that Sweet Vanilla.

Tick... chocolate seems to be a difficult one and seems almost everyone wants a perfect chocolate vape. I think it is different things to different people. I make one that I like using Double Chocolate Dark and Cocoa... mostly cocoa, I think it is Jungle Flavors from ECX. I do it about 25/75 and then add a drop or 2 of Dark Vapure tobac for every 10 ml. Don't want to taste the tobac but it seems to add to the smoky quality of the cocoa.

well I have all but the rice crispy flavoring of those in the recipie.
indeed chocolates are a tricky one. I have had some good success in the drop or two up to 3% in some mixes. they taste good but wind up being too sweet or strong for a daily vape

We've been busy here Bruce, it will take a while to catch up!

I'm headed to bed, see you all in the morning!

I guess I must be too picky (and cheap), then. When I see tips that are under $5, the look really cheap--like the plastic ones that I have. I never think of buying something more than that because I figure it's a waste of money if I don't like it. And looking at tips at B&M's--ha! They're either the same cheap ones or covered in skulls or something--and they frown on you putting them to your mouth and using them,,,

I see them all over down here too, dont like the skull ones.
the places I was getting tips from would run out fast and only have the cheap plastic ones or skulls left and then I started putting them in orders and lost an accurate inventory of what I had so thats why I pulled them off.
just nice to find a little extra in your order now and then so I use them for that
