So for giggles I decided since its a very simple blend to try Ahlusion Apple Berry Splash w/Breeze option out of the box. This could definitely make the summer rotation its real Strawberry flavor just mellowed a bit by the apple and a nice hint of mint on the exhale. Lovely

I got that one on my last order that came in last week but I got it without the breeze, don't really like mint in a vape, especially with fruit. Anyway, I really liked it and thought it was good FOOB, but I'm going to let it steep a couple of weeks to see how it really is. I thought the apple and strawberry played well together though.

Sprees are gummy and yummy, not powdery. I dont like the powdery smarties flavored ones, that was what made me not like sweet smarts by mr-e... Lol, taste is so subjective, I havent yet heard anyone describe it as powdery either
Lol. Sprees taste nothing like chalk, to me. Now Pez and Smarties, I can understand... but I like those as well. (candy cigarettes, the fun dip stick,...) Great... now I want candy again. : P

sprees, pez, smarties you know those powdery candies that the whole thing or insides taste like chalk.
My taster isn't broken its discerning!

I get that taste from overdone cabernets out here. We call them FRUITBOMBS! To be fair, I quite like fruitbombs...

The ones with the water tanks on the side and the settings are the best. I would not recommend getting a cheap one, if you go that route. And the re-usable ones (the cartridge you buy where you can add your own coffee) never taste right. I don't know why but the only time I got a good cup of coffee out of any Keurig I've used is through the premade Keurig cups. I ended up just buying a mini-coffee machine from a thrift shop. It got more use than my Keurig ever did and it was $4!!

My experience with Keurigs is they don't get the water hot enough so everything tastes underextracted except for the k-cups and even they come out too cool for my taste. That might be because I like some coffee with my cream though.

Yep! I think that's what it is. I need cream or creamer in my coffee. Can't do it black or with milk. (eww) Just recently realized that I like creamer (powdered) with hot tea too. I tried tea w/ milk before and hated it. Of course, being older I realize that milk is not the same as cream, especially when it comes to coffee/tea. I don't like milk in my coffee either... but I demand cream! (I use nonfat powdered creamer but if I have to, the liquid creamer is ok)

No it isn't powdery it has the flavor of those powdery candies inside the shell of a spree the gummy yummy part is powdery sugar candy

Cant hate that pesky buzz, lol. Wish it was safe to nap at work on nights like this, lol

I need a work nap too. unfortunately someone would notice. Sunday nights are notoriously slow so it tempting to try but if someone caught me curled up in my chair it might be awkward

well I like a minty vape but not menthol. Usually the mints I do are just plain mint or creamy mint. That's the one ok diy I have is a mint lol. I got it as a freebie so I got it the way they recommended. I just could see vaping it in the heat its nice and light.

Hmm. Maybe it was just that keurig. Mine makes verrry hot coffee, and I like hot coffee. I use coconut milk since I don't do dairy, and its still hot.

I have definitely slept at work LOL. I've passed out on the counter, in the break room with my feet up. Lol one of the perks is the one hospital I get to work alone. So as long as my work gets done, no one is the wiser :)

I like the flavor... it's just weak. Someone said that they had the same experience as me until they did it in a tank with low voltage/wattage. So I'm doing that now (had to re-wrap a protank head). We'll see how it turns out. I got the readywick in there too. Im hoping it'll help w/ the flavor.

Well I should be able to give my 2 cents about the Reo later this week, but I know exactly how you feel. I have been debating for the past month about getting one. I kept telling myself it was just too much to pay, and so I went ahead and bought the Kamry last week so I could give mechs a try. I like it and I still love my mvp as well. And I will still use them to test juices with my igo dripper. So I had convinced myself that I was going to be happy with that for awhile.

But then that beautiful woodvil just happened to show up on the classies and I couldn't resist. I was waiting on one of those and I know they go fast, so I didn't give myself time to debate. I jumped on it. The last few reos that went thru the classies I debated over until someone else bought them. I guess I was just waiting on the right one. And at least this way I know mine comes from a good home and has been well taken care of! I don't think I'm going to be sorry that I bought it.

I guess my point is, yeah I actually did start out with one in mind, lol, that I'm glad I've gone thru the purchases I have because they've all been a learning experience for me and each one has led me to something better. I don't really regret any of them...well maybe that mvp shine I just bought the day before my Reo this weekend, but I figure I can sell that one, so no big deal. I think it's all a matter of personal preference. What makes one person happy, may not for another. If it works for you, then it's all good! :D


I am so happy for you!! I am glad you bought it...I was looking at it but if I buy a Reo I have my heart set on a darker wood. I am so glad that someone I "know" grabbed it!! Yay!!:toast:

On another note...that MVP Shine? I have the green butterfly shine and a regular blue MVP2...if you are wanting to unload...give a girl a holla. Even if I eventually go Reo...a gal can't have too many back-ups. I have a Kamry too...lol. and a SVD (but that one is going to classies). Have i mentioned I have only been a full-time vape gal since mid Jan? Bwahahaha!!

Best part of vaping, telling people you don't smoke when they wanna bum cig. God I love that part

YESSSS! Oh I hated when people would bum you blind, or try and act ...... when you say no. I've had downtown bums hit me up for a cig after they saw me vaping on a zmax rda combo... And then still get ...... when I said I didnt have one. Stupidity irks me as much as people that wanna leech off me , lol. There are people around who smoke, they just dont buy cigs because they bum them all. Pathetic, especially since it's usually people who could actually afford them.

The shine is the pink skull one. I really thought it was cool looking. And I had just bought it late Friday night and then found the Reo on Saturday night, so then it was like D'oh! :facepalm: I'll let you know when it comes in if your interested. I like keeping things "in the family" so to speak, if it's possible. :)

I think most of us feel this way. You will have no problem unloading it. I put a bunch of stuff on the classys and threw my broken mod on their in case somebody handy could use it for parts or something. Had 5 hits on the broken mvp in like 20 minutes but non on the brand new stuff. It was wild.
