Yeah the attys are good. Mine died recently but they defo. have their uses. I am using generic cartos as a tester right now before filling a tankful of liquid but I need to replace my atty.

I didnt know you steeped liquids that long, I remember you ordering the SG awhile back. I am impatient lol. But, I do know the virtues of steeping even for a week or so as I learned with my Lemonade sampler the difference was night and day after a few days. I just stocked up on OC for that reason, so I can have one steeping a bit while I am using my current bottle. Part of my issue is I am not stocked up properly so despite good intentions I find myself having to use stuff as I receive it so I am gonna fix that but gotta wait for my bank to catch up with my spending hehehe. I'm out of control.

Do you just steep with cap on and leave it for a few weeks? For me the most beneficial short-term steep is with cap off (well, loosely set).

I had some other flavors I wanted to try first, and I was short on cartos, so I just set it aside. Now that I have some attys on the way, I can test more frequently! :banana:

I don't loosen the caps on the Absolute line since it doesn't have any alcohol in it. I uncap all the others, lay a tissue over them and let them sit usually for two nights and then they're ready to go. Letting them sit even longer is my preference, but like you my bank account runs out and when ya gotta vape, ya gotta vape! I really splurged at Christmas and bought a BUNCH of VV liquids and it was heaven vaping them after a couple of months of steeping. :)

Ooooooh, lookie, we're gonna have baby soup today! I've heard 'tis delicious! All babies are! :)

It's a beautiful morning here. It's so nice to wake up to cooler temps and less humidity, and to not hear the a/c going constantly! I've already been out to the grocery store. Deal of the day: mangoes on sale for $1 each! I love them with Greek yogurt for breakfast. I don't mess around with fat-free Greek yogurt, either (yuck). I get the real stuff, flavored with a little honey. Low carb, full of protein and calcium, and DEEELISH with sweet mangoes!

You wonderful VVlanders have a wonderful weekend! :)

Sounds great kitty. I want it all now, wanna trade?

Me, I woke up with horrible back pain. My dog slept on my legs all night and I unconsciously didnt want to move her so slept all sideways and bent and rickety-dikety-doo. Now my back is like BLEH. I am using peroxide which is helping but my god I was so sore I could barely get up.

In other news, my dog slept like a baby. :mad:

LOL, Swer, what we won't do for our furbabies! OK, please tell me how peroxide helps your back? I hope you loosen up! I have had back problems over the years and one of the BEST remedies for me anyway was the ThermaCare Heat Wraps...the ones that you can wrap all the way around your body. TMI maybe but back in those horrible days when I would have cramps, I would put one of those on and slide it around so the heat was in the front and it was soooo wonderful. OK, enough TMI (and thank God those days are well over for me!)...I hope you feel better. Give Tika a little kissy-poo from the VV gang!

Oh, this was her mother causing problems. I dont even feel Tika - shes too small. Her mom tho is heavier and she just sat there like a gargoyle all night. Yes, the things we do, I can't bring myself to move her because shes fast asleep and so I kinda twisted and turned and suddenly sore back.

The peroxide sprayed onto the affected area will increase oxygen count which increases circulation around that area that in turn reduces inflammation and speeds up healing alot. This is my preffered remedy for muscle pain (and joint pain) of any kind. I sprayed the area with it every hour or so and thankfully it is almost gone now. Without it, I could have been in pain for days. Most people like the pungent smelling topical stuff like tiger balm and menthol, but they soothe more than they cure and sometimes you are left applying hot patches or creams everyday for a week.
Not to mention its $1 for a bottle. I am almost back to 100% and that was a kind of deep muscle strain that would last at least 3 days if I didnt use it.

I found menthol is a close second to peroxide as far as increasing circulation goes but it takes longer to absorb and is not as effective and smells very strong.

Good Morning VVers! I had a wonderful camping trip with family and friends - it always goes by way too fast. Took along my e-cigs with plenty of filled tanks and it worked out great. I was hoping that by the time I came home that KCM would be back in stock and lo and behold it will be on Monday :toast: I'll be on the site first thing on Monday to get mine.:vapor:

What exactly happend with the KCM? Did it simply outsell itself?

What it boils down to is a bad batch of flavoring Annette received back in March. We don't like to think about it. :) Since then, there were some problems with a particular flavor component which obviously have been overcome. Annette and the entire VV crew will be working LOTS of overtime next week! :)
