Yea, I've been on those benders before. When the high comes down, you'll be drinking JD out of the bag in a small corner of your bathroom....plan for it!

Not sure if this applies, but Southern Freeze can be located by several Niquid vendors.

For one, I know for a fact that it is available at Vaporcast. How so? I was in there three days ago. Saw the bottle right there. Southern Freeze, strawberry/peach with menthol.

They also have Southern Breeze, which is the same juice without the menthol.

Also, it should be available from Smokeless Image and Altsmoke.

Vaporcast - Southern Breeze: Southern Breeze - VaporCast

Vaporcast - Southern Freeze: Southern Freeze (10ML & 30ML) - VaporCast - Southern Breeze with Menthol.

Smokeless Image - "Strawberry Fuzz": Smokeless Image | The Best Electronic Cigarette - it's the same exact juice, different name.

Altsmoke - "Strawberry Fuzz": AltSmoke.com | Personal Vaporizers | Electronic Cigarette | Ecigs | Strawberry Fuzz - Blast - Fruits - NicQuid Collection - USA - E-Liquid - again, same exact juice.

Hey Rocket...thanks for the info! I find it's all in the ratio. I've been DIY mixing at 45% peach/strawberry and 10% menthol but I know PS has a little bit of a different flavor. I'll have to try Altsmoke's on my next order. Actually.....at this point it looks like i'll just be signing my next paycheck over to Rob

Unlike most vendors, who willingly share their PG/VG ratios, or in fact let you choose your own, Niquid's is a certified trade secret. They will never tell you their ratios. Trust me on this.

So if you're trying to emulate their "Southern Breeze", unfortunately, you'll never have definite, concrete ratios.

I am equally frustrated and impressed by this. "Trade secrets" and such. Which makes sense. If they divulge all of their secrets, what's to stop you from doing it on your own and not buying from them?

I work in a pretty popular restaurant and guests are always asking if they can buy seasoning and dressings. I'd say a large fraction of those people are really just wanting to relive the experience without having to go out to eat. The other (seriously!) are corporate espionage agents hoping to secure a sample to test and duplicate. If you think I'm off my rocker, it's a very real thing.

Just look at KFC. Been over 30 years and no one can legally identify all 11 original herbs and seasonings. But people still try! Same with my job. Instead of 13 herbs and spices, we have 18. It blows peoples' minds when I say absolutely nothing on the menu originated "down under". It's all strictly Cajun recipes.

If it's a proprietary trade secret, you'll never get a 100% accurate statement.

How long ago did you start vaping? When I started, I spent tons on gear and liquid, but I really wanted this to work. And guess what..it did! Now I spend about a 1/4 of my former cig habit on juice and replacement clearo heads. I just really wanted to quit, so I started off with an arsenal as large as yours...except you need more batteries :). That's my only suggestion (I had 4 and recently had 2 die in the past week). Backups for backups.

Welcome to the Batman School of Vaping!

First things first, you have chosen a new identity. This is to protect your loved ones from retaliation against the many enemies you will encounter.

First rule of Batman School of Vaping: back-ups!

Back up your back-ups. And then back-up those back-ups. And then back-up those back-ups with back-ups.

Second rule of Batman School of Vaping: repeat rule one.

I have been vaping for about 9 months. I already have a few toys, but the tax refund was burning a hole in my wallet!


Where do you folks recommend buying more 18650 batteries?
