Gourmet juice junkies and random rambles

[firephly]

Man, a lot of those flavors sound intriguing. I don't know about everyone else but sometimes I like it when there is a fun name rather than just a name that is the list of ingredients. Looking forward to a review...if I don't order some right freaking now!

Yeah that was kind of a long list to cut n paste, sorry for that. They don't give that much of a description, but I'm really interested in the Pinoy flavors- Buko Pandan & Taro Ube

I guess the Kryptonite is a big seller for them (VapeOholic), I guess the pineapple fear is supposed to be good too.

Did anyone get Grand Canyon Cheesecake from SS? If so, would you share your thoughts?

Ordered it and have not tried it. been steeping about 14 days now.

 

[chanelvaps]

Agreed - they do taste a lot the same. I really want to love their juices, but there's something that's the same in all that I've tried that I tire of after a bit.

I gave away my CLS - it and other (GL's Deadly Sin, Suicide Bunny's Mother's Milk, five pawns' Gambit), all have that same flavor - I don't know if it's common to custards and similar, but it's a taste I don't care for.

Wanted to love all of them, just didnt.

I have found this same taste in all of them and PIF'd them too. If you ever found out what that taste is please share. (recently found it in Tasty Vapor0

I got something, not exactly sure what. I did feel a headache coming on, so I put it down and picked up something else for the rest of the night.

There is definitely something in their liquids that is not present in other ones I've tried. I just have no idea what. All I've tried so far is about .5 ml of the Fifth Rank from Mixology. Plan to sample some more tonight. Will be keeping close tabs on how I feel with each and every puff. The flavor of Fifth rank is absolutely outstanding! It's the sideshow and other effects that have me a little concerned. We'll see how it goes.

What did you think of the horehound element in that one? I just remember having some horehound candy once and it was like licorice kind of but even though I like black licorice I'm not big on vaping it so far. Do you get much of a licorice flavor in it?

Is it just me or has the new social version of the gourmet juice thread seem to be more on topic the past 24 hours than I've seen it in the last month?

Just because I can, I'm letting the world know that I'll be resuming season 3 of Breaking Bad on Netflix this evening! I'm not going to mention anything about what I'll be vaping since I don't have to. Ha!

I think I've watched that series like 3 times, such an exquisitely well crafted show, the cinematography, the humor, the story and character development, the ethical dilemmas that really make you think-"what would I really do in those situations?", the acting, god what a great show! The greatest thing of all, is that you can never really guess what will happen next!

Hey All, I am back!
I posted a photo of the display case of juice, while I was visiting another B&M that had just opened, as a joke when everyone was posting juice collections, and I get the boot for that? Retired1 had it out for me for some reason. Oh well, RZ ride's again!

Great to see you! Hated that happened to you

Same here, Jonathan -- we were 80 degrees on Sunday and got three inches of snow last night. How much can it change in 24 hours? Come to Michigan and you will see! I hope this is our last snow, I can't take it any more

On another note, GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!!

I was just in Taylor MI last night and it was pouring. (rain at that point... but still) It rained all the way to and from Michigan yesterday. It sucked. Today, we have about 3 inches of snow on the roof. Not much stuck to the ground though.

Namber Juice from Grimm Green comes to mind for me... Was expecting so much more.

I wasn't thrilled with what I tried from them either (Nostalgia (candy cigarettes) and Mistress (mint/chocolate)
From what I heard, Nick nor Amber actually make/formulate the juice anyway. A company in Michigan that makes Flavorz by Joe does it.

 

[rabernet]

I know I asked this on the other forum, but didn't see any responses (sorry if I missed them) Has anyone found a good chocolate/ Meaning not that fake cheap hard card chocolate flavor, but something close to a real good smooth chocolate? (preferably without mint)

Ahlusion's Chocolate Cream

I have so many on my wanna try list I can't make decisions.. so i'm vaping what I have for now.. yes, all of the dregs. I spent good money on them..so I feel I need to vape them. I am mixing flavors like crazy and some turn out OK. I am my own Vapor Chef. When my box gets lower I plan to start hitting the purchase button on my line ups. I have so much juice it's ridiculous.

I've been inspired by your mixing experiments, I mixed my maha ras with nilsson and vaped that all day, I liked the maha ras a lot better that way! Now i'm vaping it with some coconut burfi.

I was thinking of just getting a few DIY flavor concentrates to mix with some of the ready made juice that I don't like as much so that I can alter them to my liking.

Woo hoo got my limited raspberry vanilla cupcake from nicoticket! Only 4 liters were available.

Oh man! I'd love to try his take on a raspberry cupcake; wish I'd know it was a thing at all, derp. I'm the only person on earth who doesn't like any of his juices which makes me sort of sad. I can see why everyone else does and I wanted to when he was getting started, but I don't like the cinnamon he uses (okay, I hate it) and I just plain old dislike custard and tobacco vapes. I'd die for a good raspberry cupcake! The only raspberry liquids I've liked from anyone are Ahlusion's but there's no cake which is what I crave-and I'd lay money that Kent can do that part! Do you think he will release more ever, and will you tell else what it's like (if you didn't already-haven't read the rest of the thread yet because the words 'nicoticket' and 'raspberry cupcake' got me too excited to continue)

 

[MayLovesMetal]

Yes, I am aware of this...which is why I was bugged. It's not my first order from them but I totally got the shaft on this one

And TPR's Iced Gingersnap is perfect for me today. It's cold and rainy here and I am in bed with the flu

Sorry about the flu- I hope that you get better soon. Did you write to them/submit a ticket about the feedback/code thing? I didn't get one recently so I put a ticket in asking about it. I got a reply that just said the feedback email system was broken and they didn't know when it would be fixed with no code (which tbh really kind of hurt and annoyed me since I've been a regular customer for ever and ironically almost never use the codes but really needed it to be able to order this time.) Shortly after that email though I did get a code. I've also had a few over the years that somehow ended up in spam even though I have them filtered not to do that.

I posted a link to our new thread in the old one, just to make sure none of our friends have trouble finding us. So, what does everyone coming in the mail this week? Unless NET.com sends me my stuff this week, which I doubt, the mailman will not be bringin me a thing. I think I'll break my vow and spend some money on bottles. Made some today anyways, so it's okay, lol. I love bein my own boss when my boss has work for me, lol. I also like knowin I wont have to go looking for strangers w broken pc's lol. I mainly get work thru word of mouth, friends, and friends and family of friends. Family gets it for free so they dont count, lol

Yup, that's how I found you guys. No one sent me an invite....

 

[firephly]

Several of the best ECF diyers have gone public and no one here is impressed with their juices. Just saying

who are they all?

 

[firephly]

Have you dealt with that place yet? I bet I can make my own extract twice before they ever ship. Some kinda understaffed/backlog issues.

I ordered mid-march and haven't gotten it yet, i guess people are getting their orders though but it's taking longer because it's a small one guy operation i think, and he was in the hospital for a while and had a backlog or something...

 

[Rin13]

Anyone try the new Alice in Vapeland "Bombana" flavor? (banana)

 

[firephly]

My dead tastebuds still aren't tasting anything in my Ahlusions juice either. I was waiting to fill out my survey, hoping I would get some flavor, but I'm going to have to fill it out soon and use my coupon or it will expire!

I guess I will just say that I need extra flavor, because I know their juices are the best for most people.

Once you tell you them you like strong flavor then it seems like the next batch has a lot more taste, that's the way it's been for me so far. The first ones I had just didn't do much for me either, but now it's much better. We'll see how the new batch turns out.

I just won a 30ML bottle of Halo juice on the Halo thread. Head over if you want to give it a shot. It's the "Numbers Game Thread" There will be 4 more winners today. I never win anything, so I was surprised! Kathi17 won last time if I remember right. Angelphyre is giving it her best shot right now, LOL. Gonna go help her out!

Halo

So glad that you won! I gave it my best, but no go. Came within one post 3 times though...what a bummer! Oh well, had fun with it! Got a lot of good laughs out of it! Best wasted day of work in a while! LOL!

Heeheeheehee..I actually got stuff done today but wish I knew it was happening. Always good laughs and craziness! And so excited for you Nanny!!! Free jooz is never a bad thing!

Did you tell them when you ordered to "please add extra flavor" or how did you do it. I have to say, I'm also one of those in the minority w/AHLs juices. I bought 8 of them and only 2 were good to me. One came from the express line and the others I let steep over 4 months. After that long....big disappointment.

I'm tempted to try again cuz I'm out of Blueberry Vanilla Cake (my fav) but I hate buying one juice. I'd buy more if I can request extra flavor.

Put me on that list too I do not like custards. Creams yes but even then I typically prefer the less creamy ones like AHL Lime Cream, can't wait for the bigger bottle of Lemon Cream to come. How are those FOOB? I'm frustrated that most of what I have coming is going to need a couple weeks steep time but some things are worth the wait. I do have a trade I've been waiting for that should be ready to go whenever I get it. That will help with the wait
