Got my first pretty purple package today!

First, I approve of the packaging color - purple's my favorite.

Second, thanks for the autograph, Nick. :)

Third, and most importantly.....you guys really expect me to put this stuff away and let it steep? I ordered PBC, Virus, and Frenilla. Have now tried out all three and yeah.....I could see myself vaping on any of these as an ADV.

I kind of wanted to eat the whole package because as soon as I opened it I had delicious smells assaulting my nose.

Also, I will not be joining any Zotz rioters as my package did contain one. I teased the hubby with it and promised he could have the next one.

I will most definitely be ordering again!

Have you mixed all three together yet? Bhahahaha. I'll bet your second order is in by.....uh, next Tuesday!

And I must say, I'm so glad my husband doesn't vape. Really glad he never smoked but wonder how he put up with me. I'd be seriously ticked if he dipped into my juice and messed up the scientific madness to my rotation.

First off, WELCOME to the family Novena! Hop in and tighten your belt as you are in for a fun and wild ride. You will soon understand the definition of the term Nut HoUsE! LOL!

Fine first selections indeed! ( the 70/30 Virus/ Frenilla blend is my reach for all day vape...;) )

The purple package actually doesn't taste all that bad when seasoned with a drizzle of "Perkins Paste".........:p

Those are fine choices indeed. As far as steeping is concerned, if it hits for you now then it's ready. However, most of Clark's wonder juices benefit with some time to age. That's why when you find the ones you really like you start reordering 50ml bottles two at a time.

IIRC Ft. Campbell is near Clarksville. My first ever road trip as a wet behind the ears Field Service tech was to a small town called Erin, SW of Clarksville. At the time ('87) it didn't have a hotel/motel so we stayed in Clarksville. There was a seafood place on the river that made the mistake of having an all you can eat crab legs night. After my co-worker got done they were regretting that.

Yes, Ft. Campbell is why we're here. Once hubby separates though, we'll be calling his hometown of Richlands/Jacksonville NC home. Works for me because I'm not used to being quite so landlocked - other than spending my toddler years in Iowa, I've always lived in coastal areas...well, ok, there was also the time I lived in Minnesota, but that's the land of 10,000 lakes so it doesn't quite count.

I don't know that I did a perfect 70/30 blend, but I just blended some Virus and Frenilla and...oh my.

I may have to hide these bottles from the hubby. He can order his own.

I don't let any of Clark's juices steep - I vape 'em all fresh out of the mailbox. Virus is my ADV - it's a fun ride because the flavor morphs as it ages and you experience different tastes from it - sometimes chocolaty, sometimes coffee-ish, sometimes maple-y or vanilla-ish, then the tobacco starts popping its head out and it's a whole different flavor! Letting it sit un-vaped to steep is to deprive yourself of a great experience!

I agree on the steeping:), but I am letting custards last stand and pbc sit for a while longer. The virus is my favorite and have started in right out of the box. I went through a tank of pbc and enjoyed it, but I am infected with the virus. I can't imagine it gets better than what it is fresh but we will see.
I couldn't see it getting any better either, but honestly, I re-ordered some the other day and still had some steeped with me...when it came in i tried a bit of the fresh to compare. couldn't vape it! the steeped is WAY better, whoa! whole other beast imo :)

I can definitely understand why folks have stockpiles of this stuff! I was so tempted to order more last night but I'm trying to wait until Tuesday. Hubby loaded up his tank with Virus before he went to work today, so we'll see how he likes it. If he likes everything as much as I do, he won't yell so much when I order mass quantities. Because logically, I will need a huge supply if it has to sustain both of us, right? Right.

Congrats on the first package! Be careful.. Those purple packages tend to multiply and show up at your door every week, sometimes twice a week :blink: No..I don't speak from experience, I have NO idea what I'm talking about.. :confused: :D

When you get back to Jacksonville, hit me up. I'm just up the road in Hubert/Swansboro :)

Will do! Would be nice to get together with someone outside of the family. Always the hardest part of moving somewhere, making new friends.
