Thanks. I'm sure I will! Hey did u see the Chicago vape fest is coming up mid April?

I was thinking of going to that, I bet it'd be fun!

I got my Trabuco order in today from Drip Club (you don't have to be a subscriber to order from them). The full bottles come with corks and wax around the cork but the wax doesn't seal off the part where the cork meets the bottle which is not very well thought out because there was a small amount of leakage in the package due to that, just a small amount. But it seems kind of, well, not the best idea to mail a liquid in a bottle with just a cork in it and no other seal....sure it looks cool but not a practical design at all.

Trying out the Portola now "A blend of Burley and Virginia tobaccos with a subtle vanilla finish. A true aromatic pipe tobacco flavor."
I have a hard time describing tobacco flavors, this is a strong type of tobacco with a natural rich vanilla finish, really nice I think I liked the Blackstar better maybe (A savory sweet extract of uncut Flue-cured Virginia tobacco with a sweet honey graham cracker finish) as it's a little less pipe-like. Still awesome tobacco flavor and really clean tasting juice.

Does sound like fun, only ever been there for concerts. Most of the part that I drove through was hood like I've never seen in kentucky, got gangs? It'd be a blast if the weather was nice enough to ride top down, might grab up my gf and go...

It is! the Capistrano is my all around favorite so far "A blend of Flue-cured Virginia & Burley tobaccos extracted with dark spiced rum expertly garnished with blueberry and vanilla notes." It's not as strong a tobacco as the other two.
This Portola is bit too pipe like for me compared to the others, it's pretty robust!

Yeah I was like that too! I didn't even go to college until I was over 30, and by then my kids were in school and I was working 2 jobs at the same time! Don't know how I survived that! LOL! I think it's great, no matter when in life you go. My Mom was 54 when she graduated with her degree! She was my inspiration! :)

Good luck in your new field! That sounds like it would be fun!
Thank you! You and your mom are inspirations :) being a mom is the biggest challenge, and reward I've had thus far!

ITC vapes-dragon tears. Yummy dragonfruit and cream
What's everyone vaping this late at night?

I'm trying to use up some MBV candy cane I've had for awhile. Don't really like it too much but trying to use up some juice. Hate seeing stuff go to waste. My taste buds aren't too sensitive this time of night anyways so I don't really notice. :p

Aw, thanks! Yes, being a mom is one of the most rewarding things in my life! And now my youngest is a freshman in college himself! He's in pre-pharmacy now, but says he might switch over to pre-med. Plus he's in the honors college! One smart kid! I'm so proud of him!

Vaping some Space Jam Astro. This stuff is really growing on me. I really like the way the flavors blend together. Also vaping some Strix Elixirs Lychee Delight. That one has grown on me too. It takes me back to my childhood visiting my grandmother in Michigan. I just remember that taste from something she used to make, but I never knew what it was. I like it though.

That sounds delicious! I'm really loving the dragon fruit vapes lately.

Have you tried Alembic -Matcha? Oober Goober is a delish Taro root.

Yes-I tried it FOOB several weeks ago-I need to try it again now that its steeped. If I remember back, it was more of a green tea with cream than a green tea ice cream-if that makes sense? (No sweetness like green tea ice cream)

Firephly-sent you a PM

Just finished watching "gravity" good special effects-movie was just ok

Green tea ice cream, I'd like to try some of the real stuff, lol. Wonder if it's good? I can imagine it'd make a good e-liquid. I liked gravity too:)

I've met a couple of homeless vapers which is pretty awesome (i work in social services)

Me too! Mostly substance abuse. I have gotten a few of my die hard cig smokers into vaping and then gave them my old ego twists (thats where all my Mt Baker went) I have my own private PIF with them. Most can't even afford cigs and that is always what they want (aside from drugs) giving them a vape stick has worked wonders sometimes in trying to get someone to check themselves into treatment.

Me three, lol! I do volunteer work with families in the dependency court system. I've got a "vaping care package" to deliver next week to a young mom who wants to try it.

And almost all of our drug treatment centers around here are smoke-free (which I understand, but I think is short-sighted) -- I wish I had known about vaping when one of my moms was trying to do treatment.

In juice news, I ordered Highbrow's buttered rum -- I don't know why, I hate the drink, lol. But as a vape, it sounded sooo good.
