this week i'd say:

steam co - Beaumont reserve
five pawns - gambit mixed with nirvana - spiced tea
trabuco - Capistrano

five pawns -- Firephly I have heard so many contradicting opinions on that juice. Great, awful, have to develop a taste for. Guess I will just have to see for myself.

No worries. You'll get there. Good thing about swapping is that you can get rid of juice that would otherwise be sitting around in hopes of getting something that you'll actually use. Not to mention getting to try vendors that you would have never even tried (or heard of)

That's why at one time I loved the PIF swap thread but then I had people tryint to trade me MBV for everything. I understand wanting to get rid of it guess what no one traded or bought mine in the end I straight up gave it away but don't expect AiV for MBV no matter how many mls your willing to part with. Give it to a needy vaper but if you see a list of 6 or 8 high end juices you should expect the person wants something similar in return.

a lot of people think the base is weird tasting and i can see what they mean, it's kind of....I don't know how to describe it. It doesn't bother me though. One big plus for me is the throat hit on it, and i think gambit has a great apple pie flavor. Some of their stuff that i tried wasn't very good though-it's pretty hit and miss.

now how do you get your strawb vc cake to not get all gunky... :/ it's such a light juice, but mine gets gunkified and dark on my wicks super fast. i try to be super careful squonking, and not put juice on to a warm coil, but it doesn't help.

The only thing I havent liked from five pawns was bowdens mate, just because im not a menthol fan.

try sixty five, then you'll have two, unless you really like to vape strong dill flavor. I still wonder what the hell they were thinking on that one.

I took a nap earlier, i guess it's zquil time cuz now i can't sleep. I don't wanna go to bed!!!
maybe it's a hold over form childhood being the youngest i never wanted to go to bed because then i might miss something

I have an app on my phone called lightning bug that is basically a white noise generator....beach, rain, waterfall, campfire. That does the trick for me.

cool i'll have to see about that

melatonin works fairly well too, it has the plus of helping you remember your dreams

I'm not crazy about much honey flavor in a vape.
I've had a few from Axiom, not the honey one though. But they are mild flavors-except for Icicles of course since that's menthol.
The Perdition is one that I would love though if only the flavor was stronger! I did try it in the IGO and that improved the flavor strength but I still want it stronger. "Perdition - ripe pear sweetened by brown sugar, with a dirty tobacco kick." The brown sugar part really popped in the IGO
Axiom Vaping - Perdition

Oh yeah, the maker of Koko Bear teamed up with the maker of Axiom to make a koko bear version of the cloud rat which would be pretty good. Axiom Vaping - Cloud Bear Rat
I liked Giant Cloud Rat even though it's mild-it's just such a heavy VG it's like eating a sandwich, it has such great texture.

My understanding of Polar Bear is Nanner Bear mixed with Axiom Icicles, is that the one you mean?

Was it Icicles? I'll trade you that one for something if you like ;) After i get my portion of the list up.
What else did you get?

oooooohhhhh Lightening, now thunder, yes i love storms!

I can't wait to get those DIY flavorings i ordered, I hope i can make something good. I'd love to make a version of Perdition that's stronger.

come to think of it...i never did get a confirmation email from ecig express after i ordered...I don't think it went through?

What kinda juices are you gonna try for. I have given up temporarily on diy. Still have the meager stuff I bought so far though so Im not ready to throw the towel in just yet

Five Pawns -- Firephly I have heard so many contradicting opinions on that juice. Great, awful, have to develop a taste for. Guess I will just have to see for myself.

Did you order some?

I see you often have trouble sleeping also Rin..I have insomnia bigger than s..t

Yep. Been this way since I can remember and only seems to get worse. But I can sleep during the daytime no issue

Ive had problems sleeping as long as I can remember too. It really does suck sometimes. Its worse working nights because for some reason I get the same number of hours as I used to working days but feel worse a lot of times. Especially if I am working a ton with very little or no down time. I have had no more than 3-4 hours a day since Saturday! I have gone so long without sleeping before that some pretty scary side effects kicked in. Ive tried meds but all are either like taking a placebo or knock me out so long and make it hard to function when I do get up im in a haze. Even worse its seems to be hereditary my youngest son (the one most like me all around) has it too. He has had an as needed sleep medication since he was 5!

a lot of people think the base is weird tasting and i can see what they mean, it's kind of....I don't know how to describe it. It doesn't bother me though. One big plus for me is the throat hit on it, and i think gambit has a great apple pie flavor. Some of their stuff that i tried wasn't very good though-it's pretty hit and miss.

I never used to care about throat hit. Its so weird how I went a.. backwards from the way they say most people do. Supposedly at first people are looking for tobacco and throat hit and cant taste as good so aren't as picky, then they move on to fruits and desserts etc. I was picky from the beginning and it almost turned me away from vaping. I started out thinking I would like fruits and kept trying them and liking none. Then I got introduced to a tobacco and loved it. I eventually was able to find a few companies whose nic wasn't peppery and start buying the nic level I needed. I was vaping juices I didn't care much for and having to chain vape them at a 6 to get the nic. Looking back I am sooo thankful I perservered through that time. I still don't like more than I do but Im able to make more informed choices and no what I like. I have to have one juice in rotation at all times with a nice throat hit on it, for awhile it didn't matter or I didn't think it did because I was finding flavors that weren't like work getting through and building up a collection so I thought. Nothing cures that cig craving for me like a nice throat hit, doesn't matter the flavor. It just hits the vspot, especially when its a really great flavor too.
