Good Morning and Chit Chat Thread

[EleanorR]

My shipment confirmation order, that is!!

Thank ALL of you for your responses and reassurances that my precious order had most likely NOT fallen through the cracks or been scooted under the couch by a frisky kitty-cat!

Annette, THANK YOU especially -- I had forgotten you were closed over the weekend, and I bet you are still up to your ears in new orders!

You know what they say, "Nothing succeeds like success."

I got my shipment confirmation, too! I can hardly wait to try VV and order full-size of what I like best ... if I can figure that out ... LOL

 

[orkira]

Got my order today (well technically yesterday at 9pm). Thanks again Annette. Loving my bottles of Cherry Vanilla Swirl & Mint Chocolate Chip!! Keep up the good work my dear! Oh any word on the Vanilla?

 

[orachel]

Deborahsu!!! I love love love your little lovey piggy avatar! Cutest ever!!!

Just wanted to pop in and say night, all! See ya on the morrow!

Morning Everyone...TGIF!!!!

 

[Annette Rogers]

Good morning!

 

[kittypie]

Good morning, VVheads!

TGIF indeed!

I wonder if my Eggnog and Drunken Pirate will be here to party with me this weekend (Ha ha, they ARE the party)

 

[minx]

Good morning! I'm crossing my fingers that my package arrives too. I have become really picking since I've started on VV juice, my others just do not compare! I am down to the last of my last shipment, ***note to self: order lots of VirginVapor juice before Annette closes for holiday***

Don't I know it! Yesterday my sister ordered 3 big bottles of the illegal juice and she's still afraid she'll run out while Annette is on vacay. Sounds like Santa might need to bring her an extra bottle, just in case

 

[tyleris12]

I ordered 5 LARGE (not all KCM, just 3) bottles this past Monday and will probably order again before Annette leaves!

Mornin' VV'ers. I made it through phase one of hell week! 3 more finals to go! I have a math final next week and 2 papers to turn in next week as well. Then 2 more finals the week after next.

I guess I'm not the only one worried that I'll run out of juice over the holiday break. I have 3 big bottles and 2 sample packs sitting in my cart patiently awaiting payday. I'm hoping to be able to order them this weekend and perhaps try the holiday flavors in one of the sample packs and order at least one big bottle of one of the holiday flavors before Annette begins her Christmas break. I am also going to try out the Boge LR cartos. They scare me a bit because I've heard some folks talking about the filler material in them causing a burnt taste and I really didn't like that about the filler material in regular carts when I first started vaping, which is why I switched over to dripping very early in my vaping career lol I'm hoping that I will be able to get some increased TH (not a lot) and increased vapor with these though.

Mornin VVs! Happy Friday to everyone! Serenity, the LR Boges work best in a tank, they really need to be kept soaking wet at all times and in a tank they will stay wet. The ones I use without being tanked get dry real quick and I'm having to top them off every 10 minutes or so of vaping. May as well be dripping. That's just my experience, but I think that's why so many are complaining of the nasty filler taste. OTOH the 3.0 Boges do not run as hot but on a 3.7V PV they lack the punch of the LR. But they are fabulous on a VV device tuned up to 4.2 or higher. So you may want to pick up a 3ml tank from somewhere. Good luck with the rest of your tests and papers!

Ok folks, my take on the Mango Mint Julep. When I first tried this juice it tasted really strange. Almost like a pine taste, reminded me of being in the woods. I had asked for Extra Mango. Probably shouldn't have done that. So I added back some Mint flavor to tone down the Mango and I really like this now. It's very refreshing and a big change from all the Fruits and Caramels, good to cleanse the palette with something different now and then.

Happy Friday!! New avatar to celebrate becoming a non-smoker!

 

[orachel]

Ooh, what a lovely little setup you have there! Love your sampler packs in that snazzy case, and on the pretty tapestry. Nice one, Larkfour!!! Yay, for you and your new non-smoker status!

Happy Friday!! New avatar to celebrate becoming a non-smoker!

YAY! Hey, is that an eyeglass case you're using, or what? Looks cool!

 

[orachel]

JoanR... Piney, huh? I can see how if the mango were kicked up a few notches, you might get that. But in my extra flavor (not extra mango, just extra flavor) I don't really taste that at all. The mint does taste very natural, like mint leaves, so it does sort of have that 'green' component that pine would have, if that makes sense. Definitely tastes like a plant as opposed to a toothpaste. Maybe the extra mango just skewed the flavor balance and you got more of that.

I ordered the Blueberry Cheesecake (which I flat out adore in extra flavor) with extra cheesecake. It wasn't bad at all, but it definitely wasn't quite as tasty as Annette's original recipe. I think for me the best thing to do is stop messing around with her recipes as she's the one who's done all the tinkering with flavors, and come up with perfect balance. Every time I've tried to 'tweak' something Annette does really really well flavorwise, I've ended up liking it less than the original. rofl I think I just have bad flavor instincts (as my sad DIY attempts will attest!), So I defer to the master from now on. Oh, only exception to that rule is Kittiepie's 'Angel Pillows' recipe. But that's not premixed in bottles, its something I can do at home. NEED to get more of that yummy stuff! And out of Blueberry Cheesecake! And running out of Mango Mint Julep! Aargh!! Come on, payday!!

Rootwhacker A sunglasses case, has bit more depth then my glasses case, works great for the sample sizes

 

[Larkfour]

Joanr: I also get a bit of juniper taste with the Mango Mint Julep. Love that about it though.

 

[orachel]

Larkfour... Juniper! That's it! Boy, you're a clever creature. That makes a heck of a lot more sense than my oh-so descriptive 'green plant taste'. rofl

 

[Larkfour]

Most definitely not a clever creature! Some things I've learned so far:

When placing your very first ever order for juice do not ask Annette to concoct a+b+~+>+^. Annette may be a wonderful, magical, mixologist goddess but she can not turn an outhouse into a palace. She reserves the right not to send a package of crap in the mail, but will phrase it much much more nicely.

It is not better to use 250f. to dry cleaned black LR Boges. Your house ends up smelling horrible as the black wrap adhesive cooks.

You can not hang 6 batts off one charger. Duh. When you order that second charger don't forget the wall plug part.

Get a window fan to vent out burning smells due to new user error.

Your family will not believe you when you try to tell them that tire burning smell was a glade plug-in mal-function.

Always have 24 mg. nic on hand.
