Clark that was beautiful.

Cthulu i was lucky and found NT early on, and can honestly say I haven't spent any money on another vendor since finding NT--minus one for some higher nic towards the beginning of quitting vaping. Funny enough i never even used that LOL it's still unopened

I feel really lucky to have found NT without wasting lots of money on others. If I'm ever deprived of NT, no other vendor will get my money, I'll simply move to unflavored and DIY I pledge allegiance to Clark and the Porcupine, everything else can bite me

 

[cthulhufan]

WOW! Clark, I find your outlook amazing. I wonder how long a post like that would last on any other vendors forum?
cthulhufan, no disrespect was intended by my post, I just wanted to point out the kind of people we are dealing with at Nicoticket....

None taken, that's why I was walking on egg shells and not posting the tutorial video in the thread because I didn't want to disrespect the vendor and I thought it was probably sketchy enough that I say something about DIY every couple of posts

As a potter folks outright rip off other potters' work. One famous potter (Bernard Leach) saw a show he swore was his good friend's (Hamada Shoji) work because Hamada refused to sign his pottery. As Leach got closer he saw that the work was not up to even the worst of Hamada's work. Leach called his friend distressed that Hamada was being ripped off and he needed to start signing his work from then on. Hamada laughed and said, "Oh I'm not concerned...the best of his will be considered mine while the worst of mine will be considered his."

I think that attitude is very realistic and healthy. Many may try to copy Clark, and some may even come close, but no one can copy his brilliant juice crafting skills exactly...The best of theirs will be considered Clark's and the worst of Clarks will be considered the best of their makings.

Chimney is the proud owner of the most beautiful smile on ECF.

Agree...great smile! Personally, I don't but I've been known to moon bank cameras but only in Seattle. Sorry to interrupt...back to my Frenoodle or Doonilla as the mood strikes.

 

[cthulhufan]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do ya think I liked it okay?

Measley 30 mL Hummingbird order inbound! *really* wish I could order more quantity Kent and Co but I've got to get more nic base in...

As a side note, I got a ticket in the system right after I ordered the BG. It went something like "Ooops! We accidentally over filled your bottle!" They weren't kidding, there was just a small air bubble in that bottle. Class act guys.

Why is it all gone?!?!?!?!?!?!?

There are +'s and -'s to having so many choices in the present eLiquid market. On the + side, the number of choices you have is unprecedented - the number of people/companies who endeavor to craft eLiquid grows daily. Unfortunately, that variety comes with the toll of having to wade through dozens of vendors until you have a variety of liquid you consider palatable - an endeavor that can be both costly and time consuming. Some people like that kind of hit and miss journey - some people perfer to do what works. Some people will fall head over heels for my liquid and vape nothing but, some people will keep it in the rotation, some people will use it as a 'treat' and purchase primarily budget liquid, some people will DIY and pick up a bottle occasionally just because they are curious. There has to be room for ALL those people. It would be self-centered, ignorant, and boastful for me to expect or demand that all of you vape nothing but my liquid - I mean - I even cheat on myself. I'll freely admit that I love Boba's Bounty, and Pluid... I still vape 80-90% my liquid, but if I get a new batch of liquid in to test you gotta believe I rewick and give it all a test run before I even get back from the mailbox (just like all of you). What I can say is that, for my palate at least, there's more misses than hits out there. Right now the wider market is batting about 1 out of 25-30 for me... ONE out of every 25 liquid I might consider reordering. That's sad. Now, when I look at the number of reorders we typically get - I have to believe we are doing *something* right... we may not 'hit' for everyone, and we certainly don't hit on every flavor for everyone - but our batting average seems to be significantly better than the alternative... worth a $10 risk, anyway.

Wow so you're one of those that likes Boba's???
I don't know if you remember but a while back I started a thread about trying the Virus for the first time. I was amazed by how awesome and delicious it was. I had only tried a handful of tobacco vapes and they were all pretty bad- but none as bad as Boba's for me..... OMG it tasted like vaping dirty sweat socks!! (and yes I did steep it- steeping just made it worse for me!) I did not mention Boba's by name in that thread- I just referred to it as the vape that tasted like old dirty socks. I almost never tried Virus because of that. Luckily for me I had ordered some Virus for a friend so I just snuck a little out of her bottle. I am so happy I did because Virus is one of my all time favorite vapes now.
I have many friends who LOVE Bobas - but now that I think about it -they are all men.......

Here's the irony - in a Protank II. That's the only device I vape it in. 1.2ohm microcoil, Aerobase, KGD cotton - I'm picky with it - not fond of it in a dripper, personally.

 

[Amberina]

I tried it in a Protank with stock coils and in a cartotank. It was just overwhelming for me. Too strong on the honey(which I normally really like) and graham. It made it taste really bad for me. I really tried to like it too- I got it on sale so I bought big bottles of it and Gorilla Juice. I was really bummed when I hated it.

 

[DanielKF]

I've pretty much switched over to only Nicoticket at this point, still trying to vape away a bunch of stuff I have that must get vaped since I spent money on it. The only other liquid that I will be ordering more of that is not Nicoticket is Boba's and Halo(Tribecca,Freedom). Bobas is a love it or hate it liquid from what I've found, I have friends that love it and ones that hate it. On the Nicoticket side I have not vaped any that I have not liked so far, I won't be reordering everything I get from them as I can't vape that much but everything I've tried is good even if its not your thing unlike most the other vendors that are out there.

 

[Sloth Tonight]

I ordered an AiV sampler pack, about 18 juices, simultaneously with my first NT order. since then I've spent several hundred on NT and tried ONE of the AiV juices lol. however, it was really good. I loved it at first...then it got to a point where I couldn't keep vaping it. Not because it wasn't good, it just wasn't good ENOUGH to vape more than a few hits of at a time. I do look forward to dripping the other juices I think there are a few I may like. But to me they are just something to do when I'm bored, not when I want to vape, if that makes sense...

Yep.... they were my 'go to' vendor before Nicoticket. I had placed a HUGE order with them right before I tried Nicoticket for the first time....like several hundred dollars worth. I had been using them for a while and they were the only vendor that I really liked at all
I don't know if it was because my taste changed so much in a months time or because the quality of Nicoticket juices is just so far superior but I was never able to vape it again I tried to, but I just couldn't do it for more than a min or so at a time. I ended up giving most of it away and sold a bottle or two. I tried them again about a month ago and I can't even stand it now. I was shocked because I really liked them before..... like REALLY liked them.

I thought I recognized you from the AiV thread. I still have a bunch and will only pass them on when the FDA crap is settled. I love three still but have a bunch of those three on top of many I bought and set aside to steep that I've never gone back for...

They are a great company, and an awesome group who own it, but in my hoarding mentality nothing they make can even come close to my beloved GCD...

Yes I agree... I like the company a lot. They have some great juices. Two of their regular line up were my all day/ every day juices. I also loved the lavender (which was a special order when I used to buy from them- now they have it on the menu!) and the rose one (which was also a special order back then).
After I tried Nicoticket my taste just changed. I went to vape some of my favorite juice from AiV and it just tasted 'off' to me. I put it away to steep some more but I was never able to vape it again. So weird. I used to LOVE them. I still had about a million little samples from them (the ones they throw in with your orders) and I would pop one in a tank every once in a while but It just changed for me. Nicoticket really did ruin me for all other juices.

Woot, 30 mL of Hummingbird has been ordered! Can't wait to check this out

 

[sc12]

When I first started vaping, I bought from two other vendors just before trying NT. I'm strictly NT now but still slowly trying to use up the stuff from other vendors. A couple of bottles are ok but there's no comparison to Nicoticket. For a few bottles of the other stuff, I'm trying to decide on something to use to smooth them out without wasting my Frenilla or on whether to use sucralose or stevia to sweeten them up just a touch without adding an aftertaste. LOL I wish I had found NT right from the get go!
