Saying I could easily justify a raise in the price based on the time it takes to make the extract, but I don't really plan on it.

Could be wrong but it sounds like you start a batch of extract every 6 weeks. I'm sure you've thought about maybe starting one every 3-4 weeks instead so there's more overlap & a near constant supply. Plus there's growth of the customer base vs supply to consider.

Hoping I can dedicate a portion of the new lab space to doing just that...

If you like French Vanilla + Coffee, you are going to love the new Coffee vape. The new coffee vape is a like black coffee with double shot of French Vanilla creamer.

Wait what!!!??? How did I miss this. How and when is this going to be available? Dang, between this and Grape Ape and needing to order more of my regular flavors, I am going to blow my vape budget!

I honestly think somethings wrong with me, I keep buying these highly rated juices and expect to find something I fall in love with. I heard great things about Nikoticket so grabbed a bottle of CB, CLS, and Frenilla. After a week steep I tried Frenilla first today which is 2 days after the sites recommended earliest vape date. To me it doesnt even slightly resemble anything even remotely edible. I taste nothing on the inhale and a nasty plastic/chemically taste on the exhale. This is on a .44 dual coil dripper, and a 1.8 ohm single standard kayfun build ranging from 8 watts all the way up to 24. It seems like all these great juices everyone seems to love taste like complete dogshiz to me. I have been vaping big willies custard which is good and its a very rich custard so could that be screwing up my palette for other custards that might be a bit lighter? Should I vape something light, maybe fruity before trying something like this? Ive wasted so much money on all these "top" custards that I know are extremely good but for some reason I'm not enjoying them. I know its not a bad build, or a bad batch because the bottled juice smells like heaven. Any suggestions to help me enjoy this drawer full of top custards?

Heya Josh! Despite all the positive reviews, "hype," and generally good vibes going on with Nicoticket (and the other popular vendors) - there are "outliers." Obviously the experience you are having isn't what any of us had hoped for, or, even what is typical. Statistically, we know chances are good that any individual vaper will enjoy the liquid... but even Frenilla is far from a "panacea." There *are* people who don't enjoy it (among the regulars, and elsewhere). Taste is an extremely subjective matter... add the wide variability of devices, atomizers, builds within those atomizers, conditions of the liquid (IE, steep time, speed/heat steeped, etc) - and there are literally thousands of possible combinations that could be contributing to the issue. I say often that "a great vape is a synergy between an individual vaper, a specific liquid, and hardware - at a given specific point and time." When you get that truly great vape - slow down and enjoy it! One of the things I have learned over my vaping career is that my personal favorites have evolved over time... there are some liquids I couldn't bear a year ago, but I love now. There are others that I loved 6 months ago, but I can no longer vape. There are a precious few that have been enjoyable throughout! If Big Willies is treating you good - don't fix it if it isn't broken my friend! In the end - the important part is that you have found a liquid that *does* work for your personal palate. That's awesome, even if it isn't mine!

As far as suggestions... I am curious what the crew can conjure. This I can assure you, the community at large really wants to help... I chime in as needed, but... thank you for the candid feedback. It's a welcome reminder that "finding liquid that suits you is easier said than done."

I blew my vape budget just about 9 months ago when I started vaping.

Man that sucks. I have about 50 bottles of crud sitting on my shelf and 10 good ones, all with purple caps. If I figured out anything it's some liquids taste bad with one build and great with another. So far I get the best flavor in the kayfuns with NT fruit liquids 1.4ish builds. Always have one loaded and cycle between desert flavors, yes kind of a palate cleanser. For me I get the best flavors with the deserts on single coil drippers like the igow. 10 to 15 watts. Don't have anything that can go over 15 so never tried them higher. Maybe look through the hit it or quit it threads, lots of info in there. Hang in there. Tons of good info and people in this NT family.

Oh for sure that was not a "review" because there is no question in my mind that this, and all Nicoticket juices are superb high quality juices, the smell alone tells me that. This is something thats going on with me personally, as its happening with all the custard juices Ive tried. I think the problem is what Ive heard people refer to as "vapers tounge", and what I'm assuming that means. I have been vaping a super rich custard exclusively for over a week. Now it no longer seems insanely rich like it did at first, its just normal to me now. So when I go from that, straight to a lighter version of a similar flavor, it's like I dont taste anything. I'm going to vape light non-desert liquid for a few days and then come back to it. I'm dying to taste this Frenilla, it smells incredible. I'll certainly let you all know how that works out for me. Thanks for the response, and thanks for actually caring about your customers, not all companies do.

Yup will do thanks!!

edit - Or I could always vape tobacco juices for a day or two, after that I think even fastech juice would taste like a masterblend huh

Speaking of tobacco juices I'm fairly new to the H1N1 but when I first got it it was like Umm not good BUT after 1 month steep it woke up! Totally different. Always get a kick out of calling tobacco liquids tobacco ( even tho it has NET+TA in it) cause I don't taste tobacco as I remember it. Even chewing on a cigar.

Vape Mail showed up Saturday and I didn't even know until this evening! Didn't expect it until Monday, great turn around time ;)

This is my first order with Nicoticket and I received Fraenilla, Custards Last Stand, and Creme Brulee. First thing I did was load up my KFL Clone on the ZNA with the Frenilla.... Wow!

Without even letting it steep it's fantastic. Gonna take all my will power to put them all to steep for a bit but I'll sure enjoy this tank while it lasts...

Great Job!

Hey all, learned something about Frenilla today I thought I would share, really woke it up for me.

Braided 28ga Kanthal (.86 ohms) or braided 28 ga Nichrome (.68 ohms) on a 1/16 mandrel, five turns. All I can say is.... Oh boy, I've got Frenilla!

And I thought you were just playing with me when you said there was vanilla in there Clarke. :blush:
