Found my tracking info, it was in Bellingham about 6-7hrs on Friday. Appears it went to Kent on Saturday for a plane ride. This could be a routine where they are stored all week for a weekend flight. I might have got lucky ordering on Friday, if I'd waited until Saturday it might have added a week to my shipment. Watch your tracking info this weekend and see if it moves tonight. If this is the case we can plan accordingly. Please post any info you gather.

My theory is that it depends on where the package is going. I'm in Texas, and since the beginning of the year ECX shipments get held in Bellingham for 4 to 5 days every time. Doesn't seem to matter when my order was placed. It's enough to send me elsewhere unfortunately.

I hope I didn't say something to upset anyone. I am not a fan of 555. It's okay but I would totally put forth my dislike for a nutty flavor. I would not want to taint a true lover of 555.

On the other note of ecx. I truly love the idea of flavoring at one place/vendor. I just don't get the extreme long processing time at Bellingham. It should not take 3 days to process. I don't feel like I should have to pay priority for a small package. The value of my purchase would indeed be costly compared to other vendors. I feel I am losing trust in this particular vendor. Action's do speak louder than words. I suppose I am just disappointed. I will eventually move on if another vendor can carry some of the similar flavors. Most of you know I had so much praise for this vendor.

We know that and we've all been backers of this vendor too for quite some time thats why your thread is such a hit :) I only placed one order since the postal issues began and for some reason I got lucky and mine arrived very fast as always. I can understand your mixed feelings on this as up to the recent troubles they have always been pretty great with their customer service and bringing in new flavors we all ask for etc. I hope you don' t close the thread.

I love this thread it is so chock full of information I honestly don't know where my DIY CAREER. would be without it. Found out this weekend that Mt. Baker Vapor is based in Bellingham. That may very well be part of the issue with packages. I great flavor company mixed with a dirt cheap ejuice company may wreck havoc on a post office. I hate the wait sometimes but patience is a virtue.

I wondered about that when I talked to them too. But then I wonder why MBV ships the same day and I always get their juice very fast? Why is it that only my ECX shipment stayed in Bellingham for so long? I've ordered from MBV several times, and ECX only once. However, it seems to happen often with ECX and not often with MBV.

As others, please do not have this thread closed Sdh. I so appreciate your having started it in the first place. This and one other thread is all I read on a daily basis. Even though I don't post much, I like to see what flavors everyone is working with. There is a wealth of information accumulated here.

Please SDH. Keep this thread alive ! We haven't begun talking about flavors and other things here.​

Hangsen Arabic and my favorite coffee Cafe Bustelo is now my favorite wake me up :)
I know. I have to remain patient. I do want some Ry6! Like now! Maybe if I order every week something will arrive. :)

I got my order and mixed up some Indian with wintergreen. OMG this stuff is good. I tried vendors wintergreen. I hated Wintergreen.
However, I am loving this mix. Simple

Hangsen Indian flavoring at 8%
TpA wintergreen at 2%
nicotine at 36mg/mL
80/20 blend pg/vg
no additonal additives used.

I really think this mix will help the brother convert. I am going to sit on it for a few more days to see how it melds.
I'm trying it now on a new coil and like some reviews I have read...the wintergreen does tickle the nose on exhale. Very different. :)
JimiD: your right on the snus like flavor of "indian". It leaves a great aftertaste on the tongue. However, it could be enhanced by the higher nic percentage. Whatever it is-it is very nice. I also have some plain Indian I mixed set aside.

LOL! My brother is very lazy I see when it comes to e-cigs. SIL tells me he will put a wad of that nasty crap in his cheek. If he does not like this flavor...I am done with him!
I told SIL it means more for her-none for him! will have her spy on his reaction to this flavor...

That's too funny! I know what you mean. Heck ! I gotta build and mix for my family all the time. My big boys break everything, so they stopped buying, and now mooch! :D

It reminds me of a emergency email I received about a week ago. SIL thought the VV (hello brand) was broken. However, by the time I read her 5th email my brother figured out she forgot to turn it on...priceless!

JimiD: it is so much easier to have family to mix for. I don't know if I could mix for others.

LOL That's classic!

Only family for me. I was offered mixing jobs before, but I turned them down. I couldn't deal with ex smokers LOL
