Juice came this morning so put it in a fresh clean tank. New coil as well but, I can't taste much strawberry. It's all biscuit and is a bit like trip hammers fuzzy trifle. [emoji17] it's ok but not an all day vape. Will try the fat cow one next.
It is a strawberry ice cream with waffle cornet, and I find equal tastes of both, but I've only used it in an Evod tank/battery, and the strawberry did develop after around 5-7 days.
I've just tried putting the same tank on the MVP and find I can taste the cornet a bit more than the strawberry ice cream, so for me, it's better with the Evod tank/battery.

Oh wait there is a little berry in there. It's not as sickly as fizzy trifle but I'd have preferred more berry. Lot if biscuit which is like a cornetto cone. Better than the local b&ms though by a mile.
Right let's order some cow lol [emoji2]
My Strawberry Vapetto is a good few weeks old now, and it turned a more yellow colour after a while.
If you particularly like it, you could get something like a ready made strawberry e-liquid to add to it, or perhaps better, some flavour concentrate to increase the strawberry. On CV, if you search for 'strawberry' I believe you'll find 10 different flavourings or concetrates.
I have a few of the Mom & Pops ones that they sell but haven't tried them with anything yet. They should improve some of my less interesting ones :)

I've had no reply to my Grey Haze email querying delivery of my cow! It was supposedly despatched on 23rd!

Did that one arrive that you ordered from LT?

Sounds like a plan adding a little concentrate.

I'm using it in a pro tank mini with a spinner. I may try it on my nautilus sitting on my itaste 134 mini later. I'm getting strawberry on some vapes then a lot of cornet on others. It's a strange vape that does need more berry.

The Crème D'Straw? - yes, it did. didn't smell of much when it arrived, so I've just left it for now. Just sniffed again and it's smelling a bit better so I may try it soon!

Yes it can make a difference.
I'm just reading about the Pink Spot flavours:All Gourmet Flavors Archives - Pink Spot Vapors
CV sell some of those in concentrates.
With the Mom & Pops that CV also have, one bottle makes approx. 5x10ml bottles when mixed with unflavoured nicotine base. I already have a bottle of unflavoured 0.6mg VG from LT made me, so may try it!
This is the M&P site Concentrated Flavor - Mom and Pop Vapor Shop

Keeps it interesting! :laugh:

Just looking through some old bottles and I found a little arctic ice from paradise vape. Really good menthol - crisp and very cool. Decent price too and he always sends a free sample with your order. I got a liquorice last time. Didn't think I'd enjoy it but it was good! He's stopped making it though [emoji30]

Apart from fat cow, next in my list is strawberries and champagne from trip hammer [emoji106]

Not a case that he changed the name and the plain menthol is the same? (Another company does an Arctic Ice) - I see he does a Strawberry Menthol! In fact, he does quite a few strawberry ones.
Not sure I'll try any more TripHammer - they haven't had much taste to be honest. I got the Jelly Babies after seeing you say it's good but haven't tried it yet.
LT do champagne and they do a few strawberry ones too ...you could mix them together to suit your own taste. I like their Champus Fresh.

Interesting that this company does a VG option! Perhaps I should try a few!

I saw this in the flavouring section at CV:Strawnilla and also this one:Pink Strawberry Starburst ... that one's a bit like the sweets I think.
They also give an indication of how much of those to add to a base if using them to make liquid rather than just enhancing a dull one:
Chefs Vapour

I'm going to get a bottle of .6mg nicotine VG from LT to try some of those Mom & Pop concentrates as well as using them to perk up less than interesting liquids.

I must email Grey Haze again - looks as though my strawberry milkshake cow has gone walkabout! :laugh:

What will Candy Cane do to the Vapetto one?

Thanks for the links - look handy and I must look into buying some VG base and then adding some concentrate. Looks a cheaper option. Some drip tip bottles too I guess!

Yeah trip hammers are a bit over rated as are most "artisan" juices although I do like Seville marmalade but after finishing a 50ml bottle, I'm a bit tired of it. I'll never get tired of menthols though! They are an all day vape for me.

Yes, there are times in the day I crave a cool menthol, and probably why I get through the honey lemon menthol so fast! I think it's not only got the menthol in it, but the koolada too, and that makes it really pleasant.
I just came in from a walk in the sun with the dogs and the first one I reached for was the menthol one! ...chocolate later :) I just ordered another 30ml of the Mint Choc Vapetto! Those two are my most used of all the other CV ones. I'd use more of the Twisted but too much causes me problems: hence me wanting to make one with just lime, ice cream and coolness in it!

Actually I might buy some base from lt and add this strawberry to it and grab a menthol concentrate too Sweet Strawberry
I liked the look of that strawberry one too!
I wondered what the difference is between the FlavourArt and Flavour West menthol ones - one costs a little more than the other but of course, that means nothing. Thing is CV would tell us. Perhaps there's some sites with reviews of both.

I wanted some of the Mom & Pop Key Lime concentrate but they're out of stock. I do have some LT lime ready to use though, got my Koolada, so just waiting for the Ice Cream ready to use coming from the US. I may get a bottle of Ice Cream concentrate from CV too.
I'm seeing a lot of possibilities emerging! Strawberry alone could be a menthol or an ice cream ..or a custard!
I just have to be careful with strawberry flavour...some don't agree with me!

I'm definitely going to get a bottle of ready to use VG base in .6mg nicotine! Not only cheaper, but gives a lot of possibilities once the right flavours are found! No doubt he adds a bit of distilled water to the VG base.

What's your overall opinion of the Paradise liquids? I see 4 I'd try in 5ml sizes including the prune ...there's a lovely fresh custard tart made in France called Far Breton and it's prunes or plums soaked in cognac and set in a rich vanilla custard tart! Delicious!
They also have lime and key lime.
Are they more flavoured than LT, or pretty much the same?

This might be right up your alley. Seen good reviews and there plenty of options. Strength, throat hit, flavour enhancer and lots of pg/VG ratio options as you are sensitive to certain ratios. It's a strawberry menthol http://www.health-e-vape.co.uk/strawberry-menthol-4617-p.asp

Paradise vapes gave good service and I had a caramel cappuccino from them which was sickly (think I'm not too keen I desserts or coffee although I'm a full blown coffee head). But the arctic ice was very nice and the first menthol I had tried.

I'm back on LT's lemon mix right now and that's got stronger the longer I've had it. Menthol for this evening as I've got about 10ml left from joost juice.

Thanks - Looked good, but there's no 100%VG option - 70/30 or even 80/20 doesn't work for me because once the PG flavouring is added to it, it's too much.
I think if I stick with mostly CV and LT and use their flavours and concentrates along with some LT nicotine VG base, I'll have plenty to choose from.

I have around half a dozen of the Mom & Pop concentrates already but haven't used them yet ...been thinking about the best ways to use them :)

I'll try those few Paradise ones - not like they're expensive at 5ml.
Next time I order from CV, I'll get some more of the concentrates. I like the sound of the Pink Spot Riptide one too.

I think one of the best things about the flavours and concentrates is that we can choose the amount of flavouring to suit ourselves, and tweak them to add things like menthol, kool, custard, cream etc.!

Best caramel cappuccino's I've had are CV's and Vapology.

Shame about that! But at that price it's worth a shout!

It's good that paradise vapes do 100% VG though. Think the cappuccino I had was 100% VG. Maybe that's why I found it a bit sickly.


Just popped an order into health e vape so fingers crossed it's good. Went for my usual 50/50.

I wish I could re-design some of these websites (I'm a web developer) paradise vapes goes from mobile to full desktop [emoji83]
Done a lot of these sites for mobile/iPad etc lately - they are called responsive sites. Build once run on every device.

Should I quit or should I start again as soon as I am well?

I don't think anyone can tell you what to do.

To me, any time you can gain FREEDOM from any kind of habit, it's good. Nothing to buy, nothing to fiddle with, etc.

I would take up some other hobby like working out, cooking, walking, swimmming, fishing, etc. Just because vaping is harm reduction, not harmless, I would personally take the opportunity to give it up it it were ME.

But I'm not you. ;)

Sorry you got sick though.

I daren't get anything less than 100% VG base - it causes me a breathing problem in that it seems to close my airways! Very uncomfortable and debilitating when it happens. I've never been allergic to anything before either!
What did you get from health e vape ..the strawberry?

I have some Caramel Cappuccino in a small clearomiser at the moment - not sickly, and rather nice. Have you tried the CV one?

It's awful when you understand design or composition and see something that isn't too well done. Bit like that for me being a painter!

Interesting to hear that you're a web developer though! I'm running mine on an obsolete programme - working fine for the time being and OK on an Easily server as it has been for 10-12 years now. But, one day it may just fall over and I'll likely need help, so who knows, I may need to ask your professional advice one of these days! :)

I did notice that you make your own smilies! :)

Oh gosh! My freelancing days are over since I started doing it professionally 10 years ago! I get lots of offers but after a week of code I like to switch off at the weekends!

Yes, I got the strawberry menthol and I'm giving vapetto another go right now. Seems to be a technique behind it. Slow draw then hold it a little while and the strawberry appears.

I've not tried the cv cappuccino - not sure I'd like it as every coffee I've tried has been sickly. But that's just me! I prefer the real thing in either my pump espresso or French press.

What kind of things do you paint?
