I think you will be very happy!!! Remember though to let the juice "steep" for 2 weeks. My very 1st order was for the french toast 30ml bottle. I couldn't taste anything, so I added maple extract from my pantry. It turned black so I had to toss it, then found out about the steeping thing.......I really DO need to try the french toast again someday

Aye, Hypnotic may or may not need to steep- just give it a little vape out of the box and see if you like it! If not, give it a couple of weeks in the closet. I've ordered it twice, first time was great right away, second time letting it steep just a bit.

I think you'll like it, though. Very nice light-bodied vape. I've never tried the French Toast, but I can vouch for the other 2 juices you ordered...good choices! Welcome aboard the FSUSA train, enjoy the ride :)

Haha thanks! I'm super excited about some new flavors! I'm still really new to the vape scene. almost 3 weeks in. I've been vaping Halo Freedom, but I'm totally ready for something new. So the steeping. What do I do exactly. Do I leave it open or just let it sit there? shake it up? Thanks in advance.

Edit: just saw the steeping tips and tricks video sticky above.:facepalm:

That's ok JT, at only 3 weeks in to vaping you're *way* ahead of the curve compared to me. 3 weeks in to vaping, I had no idea that you could refill carts (thought your only option was to keep buying prefilled), had no idea that you could buy from more than one supplier and the parts would work from brand-to-brand (not knowing any better, payed $70 for a KR808 starter kit with *one* battery) and only heard of steeping maybe 2 weeks ago (been vaping for 5 months or so).

I was lucky to find ECF the day I thought I was going to buy my first e-cig (terribly overpriced greensmoke i think it was.) ended up getting a 902 kit from modernvapor.com 2 days later. Ive since already bought an ego passthrough and it is wicked, one charge lasts me all day and the passthrough cable lets me vape while its charging if need be. Now if i can just stop spending long enough to break even I can get my wife off my back lol.

Hey JT, those are real good choices on your first juice order. I used to use my Wyatt Earp and French Toast when it was fresh too, but steeping it definitely improves the flavor. Try it when you get it and see what you think.

I started out on Green Smoke too and six months later all their batteries are still going strong. We use them for back-up's. There are other vendors who sell the E9 cartos and batteries much cheaper than GS. They do have a good product, they are just so grossly over-priced. If they would get their prices in line with everyone else I'd probably still use them. And some of their pre-filled cartos, TobaccoM and a couple of the others were excellent.

And buddy, if you can figure out how to quit buying all this vaping stuff and keep your wife off your back, please share that info with me!! There's lots of new vaping adventures waiting for you.

To "steep" the juice, alot of people reccomend taking the caps off (dropper tip included) overnight. Replace the caps, then shake and let them sit in a dark closet for a week or 2.
I personally don't take the caps off. I just shake them a couple times a day and leave them alone for about 2 weeks (if I can stand it lol)
You will learn pretty quick to order ahead of time to allow for them to steep, but when wanting to try new flavors, it's not exactly easy, for me anyways. You can try each flavor 1st to see what you think. Then just leave it alone and compare it after a couple of weeks

i think 24 mg was too much for me all i get is a sweet killer TH i cant really taste any flavor beyond that same way with alot of my juices..aside from wyatt earp...you HAVEE to let that steep ATLEAST a day or 2 or you get some funky bathtub prison wine taste going on lol
Grim- be patient and give those flavors at least a week or 2

i ordered them september 12th......lol....trust me when i say its the nicotine its too over powering of a TH for me to enjoy it so ill need to cut back on the mg's for the more flavorful ones i think....although the frenchtoast and thin mint was very pleasent..but hopscotch and hypnotic mist and a couple others are just too much of a hit for me to enjoy...BUTTTT the cap has only been off for a week...but ive still had them for about 2 months either way

Thanks for the tips Heart. I'm sure I will try them all right away, but I do have a fair supply on hand and will try my best to steep them.

So far 24mg seems to be my sweet spot. I have some 18mg stuff that seems a little weak and some 11 mg 4VL cartos that seem like im vaping air... I'm sure there could be other factors like the juice they use or the kr808 cartos, but my 24mg halo freedom has just the right amount of TH and lets me feel that nicotine buzz i crave especially in the mornings and at work.

I've never tried 30mg, so im hoping its not too too potent. Im sure there are ways to dilute it if it turns out to be too much.

thats why i got 24 cause i mean hell the samplers are 24 mgs right so i figured that would be neutral ground but idk its just too harsh for me but if i get to 18 mgs im taking hugeee hits because it feels like vaping air. idk im a picky lil finicky .... too i dont even eat chicken unless its in nugget or patty form so im probably just like that with e juice imma see if i can pawn some off on my mother in law lol it just sucks the samplers are 24 mgs so i get samplers to see fi i like them and i nvr do :( so far out of like 120 dollars of stuff ive sampled i like wyatt earp and i like thin mint....even that carmel apple TO ME tastes nothing like it i get a chemcial taste and its just not very flavorful at all...yet everyone loves it....so either my tastebuds are still weird even know i stopped smoking in late augest or i need a new atty.....or im just too picky..idk i got some juice comming from a diff places for once in my life ill try theres a report back and see if theres a difference...really sucks cause i have like 15 flavors since september ive been wanting to review but i feel like it would be a waste fo time to review these if all im going to say is eh i dont like em.....im sure im probably the only one so ive chosen not to review the juices untill i know wtf is going on with my setup

18mg is what works for me. I'm going to go to 12mg eventually, when all my 18mg is gone. I can handle the TH and taste of 24mg no problem and I even vape it a little sometimes, just not for more than few minutes, usually I have it if I haven't vaped in awhile. If I vape 24mg too long I get dizzy and other OD symptoms. I think having lots of 24mg samplers around is gonna be handy when I transition from 18mg to 12mg for times when I feel like I need more nic.
