Good Morning and Chit Chat Thread

[orachel]

Whoohoo! Cool name! Gosh, i haven't tried any of those ones, so not the best person to help you with that. But hopefully someone else will come along and be more helpful. The only of Annette's flavors I've ever gotten a floral note on was a tester I tasted, which was awesome!!!, but definitely had a sort of floral taste to it. Gosh, you know, I haven't gone back to that one in a few weeks. Lemme taste that now since its steeped for a while and I'll come back and tell you if its any different now. I think the floral note was pretty deliberately a feature of the flavor on that one, though, so not sure if it'll have changed or not.

 

[orachel]

I will let them steep. I think they may have alcohol in them as well. I think that irritates my I let them steep it might go away. The flavor shines through so strong. I may have to let them steep open bottled.

If they had alcohol in em, I'm 99.9% sure Annette would have put that in the description since she lists every single ingredient. Um... to my knowledge, before the holiday flavors, i think she only thinned 1 flavor with alchohol (menthol moon drops) since that was essential for the consistency of that flavor. Others were thinned with distilled water. But obviously Annette would be able to tell you for sure. I'm just going off my memory and what was listed in the flavor descriptions.

 

[orachel]

Floral note on the tester I tried is still there, but I'm almost positive thats a flavor that is part of the recipe on this one since it was a tea flavor. I think the situation with yours is probably different. Hoping Annette can shed some light on this when she pops in for a few minutes, but for now I think the answer is probably just let em steep for a few days. Good luck!!

Good afternoon all!
There is a juice of the Year contest~http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-discussion/244945-2011-juice-year-award.html
Let's make sure to let 'em know Annette rocks!!

Thank you for the vote, Della Cirque!

 

[orachel]

About that juice of year contest... Should we maybe all think about voting for the most popular VV flavor? Would be a shame if Annette lost because we were all voting for our own individual flavor (since she's got so many great ones) and we split our votes too much. I'll vote for Kona Coffee Milkshake if that works for all of you. That seems to be the fave liquid in the chit chat thread, do you think? Anybody else think thats a good idea, or am I putting way too much thought into this? rofl I'll be thrilled when I'm off twilight zone cold medicine and my brain is my own again.

In answer to the alcohol question, the flavors come in a base of organic ethyl alcohol. It doesn't bother most people, but if you find you are sensitive to it, just let the bottles sit for a day or two with caps off (maybe even three in colder weather) and the alcohol will evaporate out of the e-liquid. As Orachel said though, I don't use alcohol to thin my e-liquids as some do, so it is only in the flavors. The menthol is different as she noted though because it has a very small amount of pure grain alcohol in it as is needed to dissolve the menthol crystals.

Thanks Annette, I will do that!

I think that is a great idea! (and it is what I already voted for)
Hope you feel better soon!

 

[Scottinboca]

Just letting you know my bathroom(the only place my cat can't go) smells so good. Caps are open and I'm loving the essence!

 

[orachel]

Scottinboca, Not sure if you're worried about vaping around your beast, but I vape constantly round my kitty with no ill effects. She actually likes the way it smells. You just need to make sure cat doesn't get into your eliquids, as the nic would be dangerous for her. But the vapor itself... no problem!

Ok, so i'm an idiot. You meant that was where you have the liquids so she can't get to em, right? lol Ok, boy.. I need a nap! lol

Aha! So that explains why my diy'd organics always taste perfumey, but then it fades. Thanks so much, Annette! I'm gonna start doing that open air evap thing and hopefully that will help me, also.

Della Circue... Yay! Ok, so I'll vote for the KCM as well! Great minds, and all that! But that should help give the real impression of how popular the VV liquids are as opposed to a few votes each for a ton of VV flavors, which wouldn't.

 

[Annette Rogers]

Orachel, the organic ethyl alcohol does taste purfumey to some people. But the change in taste could also be from steeping. As e-liquids steep, the flavor blends and melds into them better so that could be part of the change you are noticing too. If you do leave your bottles open, just put them somewhere they won't be likely to get a lot of dust or similar in them and definitely away from kitties! Hope you feel better soon!

 

[Annette Rogers]

Oh, and thank you for the vote for the KCM Orachel!

 

[tyleris12]

Voted for KMC too...like orachel said, great minds and all!!

 

[orachel]

Ooh, that thing about not getting dust in bottles is a good point, Annette! I'll hunt up some cheesecloth or something that breathes but is still a barrier. You know, I bet it wouldn't taste that perfumey to most people, but i've got this insanely sensitized sense of smell, so if I can taste it and smell it than it seems really intense to me. Just glad to have found a way around that! Oh, btw, i've never noticed that smell/taste I'm getting with any of yours.

 

[Serenity]

I voted for Maple French Toast! lol Sorry, I didn't realize we were all banning together for the KCM. I also noticed that I probably should write the review for it on Annette's site because it seems that it is one of the flavors without any reviews so I must fix that. I really need to order the big bottle of CKM and MFT. Then, I also need a holiday sampler pack lol Sorry, just thinking out loud over here. Kind of like a grocery list.

I also got vapemail today! I ordered some CE2's and so far I must say that I am LOVING them. For those of you who use these, have you found any pretty drip tips that can work with these? The drip tip I am now using came with the kit and it is a rubberized black tip that is a little smaller than my aluminum drip tips. I'd like to find something other than plain black to use though. The flavors are very slightly muted, but definitely not like my experience with the Ego-T. Oh I probably should mention that I also learned today that my Ego-T was purchased when they first came out and now they have changed the way the tanks in these are made so that they leak less.

 

[orachel]

Maple french toast is one of those I haven't tried. I'm not that fond of real 'maple' flavored stuff. I like Mrs. Butterworth's, but not the vermont maple syrups, so i figured it might be a little too maple-y for me. Whataya think? More real maple, or softer butter subtle maple?

I just ordered ounce bottles of Buttercream Mint and Mango Mint Julep. I so desperately wanted to add the Vanilla mint and Mint tingle to make Kittiepie's Angel Pillows, as well as gygundo bottle of Blueberry Cheesecake, but figured I'd better see how the xmas budget goes in a few weeks, first. But, at least now I've got my staples that I long for (with tragic look on my face!) when I'm out of.

I don't know of any driptips specifically for the CE2s, but lemme check these 2 kinds of ce2's i have against a few kinds of driptips i've got, and I'll pm you w links if any of them fit, k?

 

[Deborahsu]

No, please post 'em here! I love cl2's and it seems the best way to label flavors is to use drip tips!

 

[orachel]

Well, I would, but in order to show which ones are fitting, I've gotta give links to other sites since all vendors seem to call their identical drip tips different things, which is a no-no in any vendor forum. I'll go ahead and send em to you, too, though! Oh sugar! I just noticed and it didn't save a copy of pm i sent to Serenity.

Serenity? Could I ask you to possibly pm me back with a 2 word response to that drip tip pm i sent you (so I'll see the links I sent you) so I can forward it on to other people who are interested? Thank you, Lady!!! If you don't still have it just let me know and i'll rehunt up the links, no prob.

I'll send it to ya as soon as I get it back, Deborahsu!

 

[minx]

I got mail! I am loving on this "Gramma's pumpkin pie", delicious. Also have, Egg Nog, Precious pecan pie to try, but haven't gotten there yet lol. I did taste the Drunkin Pirate Pudding, and it was very nice, can't say much because it was only a drips onto my atty to taste it, then headed back to the pumpkin.
