I'm so sorry (from a purely selfish standpoint) to hear that you are leaving the business, but am also very happy that you're moving on with life.

As Steve Jobs stated in the above (thank you for that), life is (or should be) so much more than just making a living.

May you be truly blessed as you take this next step in life.

So, rinstarangel, I would suggest purchasing the "15ml WholeCig WTA e-liquid" in the 12mg/ml strength option for the use you describe, and adding .5 (1/2) ML to your tank when you refill it vas a starting point. The normal WTA is a VG eliquid, which is a sweet flavor naturally, and the WTA has a further sweet flavor of its own. I would try the regular WTA, and if it is not sweet enough, then go on and give "touch of sweet" a try.
I suggest dialing in the ratio using the 12mg/ml product, and perhaps grab up a measuring syringe off Ebay or somewhere, as it will make it very easy to keep getting the same results. Once you have your ratio, you can grab up the 36ml/mg product and achieve the desired effect/recipe. I suggest getting one of the many free ejuice calculator programs at that point, which will help let you know how much DIY WTA to add to your tank to hit your target. A measuring syringe will be kinda necessary at this stage. Good luck.

anyone like to test a turkish blend NET?

i'll send you 15ml. see what you think. i never smoked that particular brand named for a certain dromedary. hard to tell if i've got the balance right.
it is pretty tasty...just not sure if it's that different from 'american cigarette' & if i should up
the percentage of the turkish extract.
many thanks.


Would love to! I do really like the Turkish that Halo has, but I'm also a big fan of NETs, Mostly Vaperite

So... I'd gotten away from tobaccos for the most part, mainly vaping fruits, with the exception of some Boba's that I often dripped American Cigarette on top of. I use small chambered RDAs on top of bottom-feeding mods, which makes it easy to drip one flavor into another that's being fed from the bottom. Here with your new Turkish, I'm dripping the 24mg on top of unflavored, 0-nic in the bottle of the mod. The atty is a Cyclone, air hole reamed a bit, but still pretty tight on the draw, 0.9 ohm coil, rayon wick. Power is from a DNA30, currently 16.5 watts.

My initial reaction is: I find the flavor mild, not harsh at all, but quite satisfying. I like it enough that if you had it on the site, I'd order a couple of bottles today.

I'm going to bounce back and forth between this, some unflavored nic, and some American cigarette (all at 24-25mg). I'm not sure how fair the comparison to the American Cigarette will be because my stock of it is over a year old...

Hi jfresh,

I've been reading through this thread a lot today and from reading your posts you're very awesome. From giving coupon codes to replacing orders on trust. Also, you (being a co-owner) talk with customers personally, you don't see businesses run like that anymore.

Unless I'm wrong, you can't find a WTA liquid with 100% VG (I love VG). I'm going to be ordering some in 2wks (when I get paid). I just have a couple a few questions about it. I can vape 12mg all day and not feel a thing, but if you chain vape too much will you feel sick? I ask that because I straight vaped Aroma's WTA for four days and got flu like symptoms. Don't know if it was the PG because I'm PG sensitive (Im okay with PG on a cigalike). Can you describe the flavor of American Cigarette (does it have any sweet over/undertones or smokey flavor)? And one last question, how long does it take for you to ship after the order is placed, and you still use Priority Mail I see on the website? Thank you jfresh for your help and I can't wait to order.

Thanks for the kind words. :)
All our liquids are VG only. I can't speak to your flu like symptoms specifically but I would guess it more likely due to PG sen. than anything WTA related.
For a description of the flavor of 'A.C." I think the reviews on the site are a better source than I. I rarely vape it, preferring the unflavored personally...though I did really like the "Turkish Blend" and it should be available in a few days on the site...neither is 'sweet' ...both have earthy, smoky elements...the A.C. is more one note...but some people love it.
Our official shipping policy is 7-12 days...but generally orders ship about 3-5 days. We do still ship priority.
Thanks!

It was nice having 2 choices of WTA. The products are very different IMO. I'm not liking it either, although I can understand your frustration. Getting a business off the ground is challenging and tedious. There has to be some reward even if it's only not working for some overlord boss.

The poker is interesting. I lived in Reno for awhile and had several friends that would go "make rent" by playing poker. They had to keep visits random so they wouldn't get known. I guess casino's would ban them once they realized a pattern of winnings. The casino security shared the lists with other casino's. I don't know if every town works that way and it was many years ago now so things may have changed. personally, I liked craps since I figured that was harder to rig for the house to win. Not all casino's offer craps around here.

I wish you the best of luck in whatever you choose.

I think the only pros casinos are concerned about are blackjack card counters...I have a good friend down here who's a poker pro, and she's well known and liked by the dealers...and feared by other pros! Poker is a raked game, not a house game...so they get their cut regardless of who's winning,

On the other topic, I'm starting to look into the possibility of finding a kind of agent to shop the business for me. It's profitable as is, and could be much, much moreso (I dislike marketing in general, just not my thing...and have been vaguely concerned for awhile about possibly growing too fast to keep up with it also...never really wanted the hassle and complications of having employees...so haven't scratched the surface of the company's potential...that's easy to illustrate to a potential buyer...our advertising outlay amounts to one relatively small ad buy here on the forum...more or less a gesture of thanks to ecf (thanks ecf!)) for a word-of-mouth business with practically 100% organic growth, a single forum presence in all of the internet and other media, I'd call it a success story. :)

(my burn-out is a separate issue...i am just ready to do something else...something I'm really excited about. I really do believe I have the fundamental skills and drive to always improve my game...to become a great poker player. And have a lot of fun during the process. I love the game and the personal challenge it offers. I recently turned 50, so it's kind of now or never.)

I'll keep everyone posted as the situation develops!
