It reduces the diameter of the tube so that very thin juices do not auto feed, particularly in the warmer months. It can also be removed. Just slides into the bottom of the tube. If you don't have these issues with the REO, then it's not needed. Every new REO comes with one in a baggy, along with an extra bottle. It can also be purchased on Rob's site.

Good to know all the extras are starting to add up. I am a tightwad in most areas of my life. That's why everyone things Im going through some kinda crisis with this vaping thing...first hobby and all.

i had that issue over winter with my reo. i leave my reo in my car for 12 hours while i work, when it was freezing out my juice was super thick and couldn't really squonk. i just started to bring a second little bottle with me and swapped it out when i got in the car in the am.

Good to remember. Note to self

Dang girl..I like that new banner! All day every day! That's you hon..hehe :p

I like that since you came here your banner changed from searching for the nectar of the gods to finding it!!!

I'm curious as to whether or not my reservations are shared with many people. I'm immediately turned off by a site that has a ton of juices to offer. If I visit a website and it has over 100 flavors in it's line, It doesn't matter how many people recommend it, I'm gone. Anyone else get this? I'm not even sure why I do it. I guess maybe it's the idea that they might not spend nearly as much time developing flavors or something.

I would agree on all but Ahlusions, I am super super picky about juice. Very finicky palate It even hates itself sometimes I think. I have not had one Ahlusion juice yet that I have given away or traded or sold. Cant say that for even the other companies I enjoy.

Has anyone ordered it yet? Interested to see how it is from someone here.

Ditto

Here are some of the flavors I like best so far, they are the ones in front .the ones in the back are leftovers for emergencies

Jeez buddy you clearly are new here if you go back a bit in the other Gourmet ejuice thread a bunch of us posted pics of our stashes it was hilarious!

oh honey, you clearly need more juice ;)
i've sold off a lot of what i no longer vape, and i still have over 1500 ml's of bought juice. i only have like 100 of made up diy juice (still working at it, and hating it, because i'm so bad at diy)

I gave up for a bit on my diy it sucks and I got frustrated quickly, I think I had it in my mind it would be easy for me to make stuff I like since I had so much trouble finding things I liked. WRONG

MSFrog-need your addy-we will make you happy you joined out group

Forward to me please. I don't have a lot right now I recently got rid of a lot via classies and giving to needy/new vapers but I can send you a bottle or two, definitely some samples. Send your address. If you want my opinion I wouldn't even put your likes because if that's all you have you probably don't know them yet. Things I thought I wouldn't like I love. Things I thought I would love like cinnamon I hate. You need a flood of options. Just my humble opinion. I still get surprised. I got a sample of Peachy Criminal recently and I probably never would have bought that for myself. Loved it bought a bottle today, small bottle but still.

So i decided to break down and order from Ripe Vapes, turns out "there are no available payment methods for your state. Please contact us if you require assistance or wish to make alternate arrangements"
weird huh? So I asked them about it and he said

"We should have another payment processor in place this week and I will send you and email once we have it back up. It literally went down this morning. I will waive shipping for the inconvenience for your order to make up for it."

"Since we dont have any dealers over there I can give you a discount. On top of free shipping I can give you 20% off if you order more than one bottle. Just make sure that when I send you the email that the online store is working that you email me before you place your order so I can take off the shipping and give you the discount. Thanks for your interest in Ripe Vapes, I know you will like the juice, hopefully enough to convince some shops out that way to carry us! I am not sure if you have heard of Five Pawns but everyone out here tells us we are better than them (I think at least one of the times I heard it was in one of the reviews on our site) but in particular our Monkey Snack is supposedly better than their Grandmaster so maybe that would be a good second bottle. Up to you of course, I just work here ;) Take care and I hope to get back to you this week with good news about the site."


So that'll cut the cost to .60 a mil or so, I'm pretty excited to try this stuff Ripe Vapes | Handcrafted Joose

oh yeah, he also said:

"Our flavors are very rich if that's what your looking for. You won't get a faint taste in your mouth with any of our juices, you will get a very distinct and intense flavor. However, I have to tell you that it also depends on what equipment your vaping with. Regardless of that you won't be disappointed in our juice, that's for sure, because compared to other juice lines are flavors are unbeatable. But if you notice a lot of juices that are supposed to be good are lacking flavor it could be your mod. Ego's for example seem to diminish the flavor of any juice. Anyway try KeyLimeCookie if you want intense flavor. You won't regret it. Thanks for the inquiry.

Soo I feel like I miss out when I work on so much! I think Im caught up now. Whats everyone vaping on?
I had the hunny recommit to vaping over the weekend. Got himself a NEMI clone and a new dripper and I loaned him some good juice to help get him over the first couple day hump. He was still mostly smoking and trying to hide it. No cigs since he bought the clone Saturday am! I told him he has lots of nice equipment and still smoking its absurd! Very proud of him for trying again. And it made me easier to justify my REO Im hopefully getting the invoice on tomorrow! Can those that use reos and rdas tell me what they run their coils at and how for instance I use a regulated mod and I run a 1.8ohm 30g coil and that's on my drippers and pt heads. I know I am driving you guys crazy I should probably go to the reo thread but I feel at home here and I know several of you guys have had them for awhile and know a lot. Still debating the button. Jeez im such a tighta$$. I have no idea what juices I have with me tonight I am about to look and figure out what I am gonna vape. I got the husband to order some Ahlusion too. I used my discount code for him and then it wouldn't work for me go figure. Seems Ahlusion has changed some policies. Anyway it shows commitment on his part because he usually just vapes what he gets from me. He shops in my bedside table lol. Takes a lot of samples never pays. lol.
So together from Ahlusion we got:
Lime Cream
Gold Rising
Caramel Coffee
Jump and Jive
Fijian Nights
Peachy Criminal
Even without the full discount being applied to his and my order together it was 100mls for $47 including shipping so still not bad!

VCT sounds good, let us know how it is.

I always assume this will happen to any vendor I see accepting paypal. It's kind of annoying that they bar this industry. I'm surprised they are wanting to knock themselves out of such a huge revenue stream.

I know, I was hoping to use my paypal money for some juice (there's still some places you can do it though)

So what juice did you start him out on?

My bf, who doesn't (rarely) smoke, and doesn't vape, I've had him take a hit off mine sometimes and he said that it makes his lungs feel funny for days after, so he is convinced that isn't good for me, although he thinks it's better than smoking. It never really made my lungs feel weird-I guess because I smoked for all those years so mine are 'seasoned'. But when he does it he takes these deep hits and blows out smoke rings, i don't breath in all that deeply, well sometimes i do.

I have a theory about rip that involves either stopping or starting meds, lmao. ADHD much? I have my hyper days too, but he went from calm and reserved to a completely different person. I dont think those buggin out eyes are an act, lol. My add is much more of an attention span thing

I don't know but I've seen numerous YouTubers that start out calm and turn out completely different. Grav3eyard Girl is the most drastic that I've ever seen. She started out as this calm kind of emo-kind of chic and 3-4 years later she's a frickin' muppet. She's so animated. Imagine RIP but super annoying and a girl. I used to like her and now I can't even watch her video. With her she claims that when she started doing videos she was really nervous and depressed and as she continued videos it became less awkward and she was no longer depressed. She claims this current persona is her real personality but I think it's an act... and it's working because she had millions of viewers and the comments all kiss her a s s and talk about how great her personality is now compared to the beginning.

He has tried lots of stuff today he was complaining he was coughing especially this morning I told him to look up the effects after you quit smoking there are some that start almost immediately and that the cough was probably that. Hes been vaping for a couple months now but still mostly smoking. His father smoked himself to death at 56! Never could quit but this wasn't an option Pops would've loved this since its kinda like naps and pops liked his naps too lol. He had a bunch of my older 6mg from when I couldn't find anything above a 6 that peppery didn't come as a top note. I still get that from time to time on my 12mg but I know which companies it goes away after a puff or two and which ones its in there and doesn't go away. Anyway to answer the direct question you asked ( am am just a wanderin tonight). I left him w/ Steam co Old Orchard Reserve its got some tobacco in it and some other notes its nicely complex and VV Death by Chocolate. It was 2 of the 17 flavors I brought for the weekend lmao! I told him he could keep them for now and he knows hes always welcome to try anything I have. I also told him that a 6mg was never gonna work for him first thing in the morning and he probably would want something in the a.m with a throat hit and goes well with coffee so hes not so tempted. A lot of people find that first am cig hard to give up.

I'm not "afraid" of hell or sinning because I accept that I have a savior to cover my debts. It just inspires me to strive to be a better person. No matter what "religion" you are, I think we can all read the stories of Jesus of Nazareth, who did in fact exist, and all agree he was a stand up guy. So He inspires me to do good works in the world - or at least my little piece of it. I am currently investigating further on this matter - (aka traveling). I'll definitely keep y'all posted - I think I'm going to start a blog for my missions. And again no matter what faith you are, I am HUGE on paying it forward. Like I said earlier, the ways it has come back around to me are amazing, not even explainable really. Kind of like how you were talking earlier how things have happened and you just know "something" exists.
Cool. I was just curious and I agree that you don't need to be Christian to respect Jesus as a person because that's exactly how I feel.
There was this chick who did a youtub video that seriously asked her viewers that if they were athiests and supposed good people, what was their motivation to be a good person since they didn't believe in "divine repercussions". I was like, are you kidding me? So you're only a good person because you're told it's how you should be? I think that's silly.

Anyone know since Ahlusion does so much customization if they do special nic? I love that AiV and Fuzion Vapors both do! I find my sweet spot is a 9 but most places have 6 or 12. There are times when I just need a 12 but there are also times where I need just a nudge more that a 6 so I don't chain vape.
