Express and VZ SC are the same-o same-o in taste. That musky alcohol, packed with sucralose underlining flavor, that I can't vape.

Just something I've noticed. If you get a fresh enough batch their great. The older they get the more that musky taste starts coming through. I just trashed about 50 or so of them for that very reason. If you get a fresh bottle and you use it up in a reasonable amount of time then I wouldn't think there would be a prob but I wouldn't recommend them after they have been sitting for several months.


BTW. How's everybody been?

How are you doing buddy !! Nice to see you again.

Exactly I threw out quite a few myself. I detect the shelf life is about a year or so, on these alcohol based flavors. Some had separated and looked like some kind of animal in formaldehyde :D

The last several months have been pretty hectic but things have started to settle down some. Good to see that all of you guys/gals have been staying fairly active.

For some reason it's not taking off 10% for me. The code works, but it's only taking 5% off. Only things in my cart are FW, FA and Hangsen flavorings with some syringes thrown in. Not sure what to do, but it feels like shenanigans.

I have not used the coupon code yet. I am trying to hold off to buy until the hangsen gets past customs. I will go check for you at website.


Just checked and it looks like a coupon code for 5% off. I did just copy from newsletter...VZ is also having a 10% off but I lost the coupon code.

I've chilled a bit on the flavor search. (I have been keeping an eye out for RY5/RY6 but haven't seen them offered anywhere) Got a little tired of accumulating so much stuff that I either don't like or couldn't get around to using. I have about 6 or 7 core flavors that I use with some different Hangsens, tobacco absolute, seedmans and my own extractions. I usually keep a couple of small batches of either blueberry, blackberry or TPA Pear menthol around to change things up. Most of my spare time lately has been spent playing around with different RBA's. I tried the ceramic wicks a while back and didn't really care for them but I've gotten back into that recently with some very good results so I've been playing around with that too.

Thanks Sdh. It doesn't make sense since the newsletter says 10% for that code. I'm guessing its a misprint. Bummer though - I've been restraining from a large cart waiting for a good coupon.

I am chasing flavors for my SIL. She is a sweet lover so I have to taste test before I send. So far I have two mixes they she adores. I am looking for others. For me I am happy with Hangsen with or without additions. I am finally buying some RBAs I figure its something I can play with in winter. The Ry6 is a interesting flavor. I may buy another bottle (premixed) to try in a RBA soon.

I just got back into town and ordered the VZ-SC Banana Cream Pie (I use Cartos), hopefully it's a winner.
So the Flavor Express Banana Cream Pie is the same as the VZ-SC Banana Cream Pie? I needed to get some Gourmet Flavors so I just went with VZ.

How long does the Hangsen order take to clear customs?

Most people here have been getting the Hangsen concentrates from ECX. You can get premixed Hangsen flavors from some local (US) vendors but not sure which ones. I'm sure someone else will chime in soon with those options.

Which sweet flavors does she like? I'm starting to see more and more e-cigs when i'm out and about. Looks like a trend is starting
