So I sent out a few packages this week and two were 'stuck' for several days. I filed claims and they magically got moving again. Now it's happening to me, all of my vapemail juice deliveries are stuck at sort centers in my area :( hopefully they'll get unstuck soon. Damn this snow delaying vapemail.

Interesting update.

Today I was a little late in the morning and said screw it I'm not swapping tanks I have an extra battery in my bag i'll just use what I had yesterday. On my first vape break I realized my tank was near empty, on my second vape break my tank was empty on my thrid vape break my tank was done and I burnt my cotton. I had a long day ahead of my with dinner and drinks with my friends. However, they picked the place next to my local vape shop, went a few minutes early they rebuilt my R91 with new cotton and said 'try this' and put in some Suicide Bunny Mothers Milk. I bought a bottle, it's awesome a true strawberry and cream with no candy flavor or over sweeter taste its such a nice juice with a great nic hit at 6mg and good throat hit. Walked out with a bottle of it for the future. Fantastic stuff.

I came home just now, saw my package from Axiom vaping came in. Now vendors know about this thread, I've spoken to a few owners, they like what I'm doing with the give-a-ways so they've been sending me love. A few extra mls here and there, a free upgrade to the next size and I've thanked them profusely. However, the package I got tonight has blown me away to the point I'm going to see if it was a mistake. I ordered 4 bottles, and got 7. This is not a typical response and I'm sure they'll stop doing it if they get copycats. I'm reaching out to see if it was a mistake so I can pay more $ to the vendor, if it isn't I'm going to give some of the most detailed reviews I can. I'm also going to give away ALL of these bottles no matter if I like them or not and will make a reorder myself.

Here is an update on the Giveaways
Druids Brew Bread of Heaven
Ikenvape RY4
GoodLifeVapor Blueberry Morning
Epicus Nebula The General

If you have contributed to this thread, ping me and they're up for grabs, if you haven't there will be preference to the people who have been here from the start. I will be giving away 5ml+ so there is a chance to get multiple giveaways per juice.

What I received tonight:
Axiom vaping all around
Giant Cloud Rat
Strawberry Cloud Rat
Banana Cloud Rat
Blueberry Cloud Rat
Honey .....
Creamy RY4
Perdition

It's going to take me a week to go through these so stay tuned, I always have a VapeRev order coming in as well with another few juices. I had to pickup another KayFun Lite Plus to keep up with demand and I have a Super T Strata on the way so I can test more juices in more builds for you people.

Keep the suggestions rolling in and I'll keep the juice flowing out.

Sounds like you're getting some good hits! Awesome! :2cool:

After you mentioning Epicus Nebula, I looked them up--The General looked great, as did the Crepes (sold out!). I also followed the thread that mentioned Axiom and I had a peek. Love that site too, although not sure about trying them. I'll wait to see your report. :)

I'm glad that you're posting this stuff, I like to find juices that are off the beaten path, but I also don't want to waste money on untried juices. Keep posting!

Oh, and that GM? Totally loving it now, after I tried it in my RDA. I think it's an acquired taste, but I think I've now acquired it. ;)

wow how do you rate? lol, that's awesome Axiom gave you all that extra. I ordered Perdition, Strawberry Cloud Rat, and Icicles, and all they threw in was a sample of Djinn's Nectar.
I really like Perdition. I think I like regular cloud rat more than the strawberry one, and haven't tried the other two yet. I guess the Icicles is the coldest menthol there is, so they say.

By GM I think you mean the GrandMaster I sent you? Glad you like it, very little throat hit but I love the taste too!

I have some Axiom in my Atomic right now, will report on it later after I had some time with it. I could totally send you some Nebula if you can't get it but it's only 2mg which is very low, zero throat hit. How I did it was I combined The General with Big Willies and that was AWESOME for me, I got the flavor from The General and hit from Big Willies and that mix really did it for me. I'm going to try to get Epicus in a higher strength for the future, I have 20+ mls so sending 5 won't be an issue, let me know.

Sorry, what do you mean how do I rate? I think any vendor throwing in anything is going beyond expectations, no other industry I order from does that. When I order from Amazon I get exactly what I ordered, sometimes the wrong thing!

I have Strawberry Cloud Rat in my Atomic right now and I won't say anything yet except that this does put out clouds, not an order of magnitude more, but the vapor lingers more in the room and it is a nice thick fog. My setup is a sub-ohm microcoil, something like 22watts so it's hitting hard, my poor throat.

I know, right????

I'm sure I will agree when I understand what we're referring to lol, what do you guys mean how do I rate?

I think I want to hold off until I can get my hands on the crepes...that one sounds delish, and if it has the same amount of flavor that you say The General has then I'll be very happy

Wow, you know I tried to look it up and couldn't find anything.

Common slang phrase, meaning (sarcastically) how come you get all the goods, while us peons always get the wrong stuff from Amazon? :p You doin' something special to get all those perks?

^^yeah what she said ;p

a lot of places will send you free stuff though just for inquiring or mentioning them, that's happened to me too

I have some free samples coming from this place http://trabucovapors.com/

I first tried Southern Steam juice because they sent me freebies, which was pretty awesome sauce ;)

Haha, got it! Ya know I always read about people getting freebies from vendors and I never got anything extra for a year, until now, which I'm grateful for.

I have no way to reason this but something my friends, family and co-workers have told me and unfortunately resented me for was my innate luckiness. I don't believe in luck, but in the circumstances that people believe luck is a factor, I normally come out on top. When people say that to me I always retort with, "Luck favors the prepared" as sort of my quick go to response. I've considered that as a tattoo so I can stop saying it and just point to it. In no way do I mean this to be braggy or self-righteous or a reason to why I have been given more than what I have bought in the past few weeks, I believe its the vendors supporting the thread just as all of you are with your suggestions. I have a bit of proof of that with the owner of NicoTicket liking several posts in this thread.

Yeah, Grant's good people. (Kent Brooks). Even if someone isn't bat-poop crazy about his juice, he'll like a post if it refers to NT. I respect the guy's integrity for sure.

"Luck favors the prepared", ok now it is me that's confused, lol, what does that mean?

the nicoticket guy must read everything on here because you'll see his like on every post that mentions his stuff

but yeah, they do pay attention to what people say online for sure.

I had one guy send me a message on reddit thanking me for a review i did on here,even though he isn't registered here and doesn't show up on ECF at all

Only took 10 pages for the OP to get jostled, officially one of my most successful posts on the internet ever.

Firephly, luck favors the prepares is a simplification of a Louis Pasteur quote, "In the fields of observation chance favors only the prepared mind" but you can't say that and not seem like a snob. It basically means be highly aware of the situations you're involving yourself in and you can add an element of control to the outcome and if the outcome is not the intended one it can be viewed in a such a way that it is, after all, still a success. To people watching you do this, it simply comes off as luck, not seconds/minutes/hours/days/weeks/months of deep thought and attention.


.....now back to the juice....

Replying because I really want to follow this thread, and to also comment that I love Smooth Criminal from Ahlusion, but it took about a month to come together.

I also want to mention another company who caught my attention yesterday. Alas, I can't comment on the flavors because I'm about to place my first order today with The Steam Company Vaping, The Best Electronic Cigarettes, E-Juice & E-Liquid Store in CT.

Here's the thread that got my attention: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-liquid-discussion/513717-steam-co.html

I plan on ordering both Gentleman's Reserve and Old English Orchard Reserve today. They've both been compared favorably to being very similar to Five Pawns Castle Long Reserve and Gambit respectively. Oa, in the fruits also intrigues me, as does the Pukana La in the Breakfast flavors. I also want to try that one you love, the Shai Hulud thanks to this thread!

You mention looking for drink flavours, so wondering how lucky you've been in that search. Busardo mentions a bourbon/apple liquid called RedWood from Vintage Vapes in a recent video that I wouldn't mind trying but getting liquids into canada can be a bit of a crap shoot. Maybe you can let me know if its worth rolling the dice…

Red Wood E-Liquid

Get some Copper Creek House Blend !!! I make all my own juice and this is the one juice I still buy :)

Looking into all of these suggestions thanks guys!

Update:
I went through some of my Axiom Vaping liquids, all of the cloud rats - some which aren't on the site to my knowledge. I have to do some builds for these because right now I get a ton of vapor and a bit of flavor but I feel like that could change if I dial in my builds, contacting the owner of Axiom for some suggestions for builds and materials. If I get get the flavor to match or come close to the vapor then I'm golden. These things have big throat hit, and even chest/lung hit. I do mouth to lung inhales and it's like getting hit twice then a big exhale of vapor. It feels cool to do and the nic is great but I'm a big complex flavor guy and I can sit there and vape this stuff all night even though I'm not getting big flavor out of it just because I'm not turned off by the flavor and it's fun to throw out some clouds, practice o-rings, and just have a laugh and a cough.

Mr. Good Vape Sundae Fundae - I think this fell victim to trying to be too complication with a poor execution. It has a ton of different flavors in it and if you have an advanced palate maybe you can get them all but what I get is a bit of a muddled combination of everything. Also, this juice vapes quickly in my standard setup I had to drip more often to avoid burning my cotton, I noticed I was dripping more, looked it up and apparently it's a thing.

The Plume Room - Burley and Candy - Exactly what it says it is, a burley tobacco is the dominate flavor but on the exhale you get a generic candy sweetness...something similar to smarties candy but it's on the light side. Not complex enough for me so this will go up for free soon.

I still have to try POET Torte de Arnicia - Just don't have enough time to clean my drippers and rebuild right now.

Alhusion Smooth Criminal - This has been really good for me, it's currently not sitting in my test devices or tanks since I have so much to test/re-test and not enough tanks! I'm keeping it cause I know I will finish the bottle and between this and H1N1 I will make a re-order decision to probably go into my next tank, a KFL+ v2 that I'm awaiting to arrive.

Tank Update -
Currently my day vape in my KFL+ is Shai Hulud, this gives me the nice complex tobacco I like to have during the day with flavors I can't pinpoint that always keep my interested for the next vape.

My night tank is a surprise - Suicide Bunny Mothers Milk - this is just a perfectly executed juice IMO, strawberry and cream without that doesn't taste too sweet or artificial. Bought it on a whim in my vape shop and it just worked out. Currently sitting in my R91 it's a welcome tank addition.

In another thread I have some great new dripper suggestions that I will probably purchase because I currently have 3 but looking to unload my only non-AFC RBA to make room for something with AFC so I can tailor my vape a bit more. This will alternate on my provari as both my mech have dedicated toppers at the moment. In the market for a DNA30 in the next few weeks, probably a full size Hana.
