Gourmet juice junkies and random rambles

[Rin13]

juice: Lazarus Vintage. Customer Service, well there were no issues with shipment or anything so nothing to speak of other than the plain flat rate box the juice came in. No special treatment, no notes saying thanks for your order etc. and it's not like I expect it but everyone else I've ordered from has at least said "Thanks" and with the premium you pay for their juice you would think there would be something to make them stand out besides their juice.

I agree with that. That's a big reason (corny as it may be) that I keep returning to Alice in Vapeland. Their presentation is great and their customer service is excellent. They are pretty active in their comments section of both their website and Facebook. I believe they are even active on the thread they have on here. Highbrow wrote a simple "Enjoy" on my invoice. Simple but shows you they G.A.F. I also liked how Bryan contacted me via email regarding placing my first order. (I already told the story but LMK if you haven't read it)
Lazarus Vintage juices were good to me... but not great. At least not the flavors they have currently. Out of the 7 from their regular line, I would only purchase a full size of one. "Compass" But considering your service (or lack their of) and the fact that I'd only want one and I hate paying $6 or more for shipping 1 bottle. (I know it's glass and all that but I'm cheap) I don't know if I will.

No.1 - I got no apple... Strange. (I just tasted pastry)
Journey- I didn't get Werther's either but I can see where you'd get that. (I don't have it anymore to vape it again)
Trinity Reserve- I got nuts (lol) and Bourbon. No cream though. I don't like Bourbon.

I didn't like anything I got from PlumeRoom. I also didn't like that 2 juices I got weren't fresh and the third date was screwed up so I never knew when it was made.(if it was fresh or not)
I was eying up Chronos. Let us know what you think. I tried to find reviews on it and found absolutely nothing. I thought Alpha and Omega were popular brands?

Everyone says that the blemished Provaris are never really noticeably blemished. Their QC standards are high. I would have gotten one myself but when I finally decided to treat myself to it there were none available in any of the finishes that I wanted. Unless you're going to keep it in a display case, the sorts of blemishes it will have are probably less than what daily use could do to it..that's how I see it, anyhow. I haven't caught up to the end of the thread (as usual) but it sounds like you really want one and I vote for do it. =)

Also if you want to ever read or hear the science of why Provaris vapes are superior, I remembered that it's something to do with "pulse width modulation". +1 for Phil Busardo. I've gotten a ton of really helpful information from him over the years, more than anyone else who does similar stuff.

Yes. In the PBusardo video they showed the quality control and how RIDICULOUS it is. There really is a LOT of work and labor into the things... Which only made me want one even more. PBusardo is good for making me want stuff. Then again, if I want something, it doesn't take me much enabling to cave in.
I ended up getting the Satin because it's the same price, unblemished, as the blemished one. Also, for whatever reason, the Blemished extended cap was more expensive. So regardless of how minor the scratch/etc is on the blemish, I'd rather have a brand new unblemished w/ the extension cap for $3 cheaper. I have no idea how I missed that the Satin one was $20 cheaper than the rest of them. Not sure if it's a new thing or if I just never paid attention. I always noticed the minis were cheaper. But not the Satin.

I covet that gold so much, which is silly as all get out. None of my drippers/devices/tanks would really look right with it but man..it's so pretty. It was out of stock for ages which made me so happy..then the other day I heard it was back..oh no! Gotta pay for prom and graduation for my last baby and I want an expensive German Cuckoo clock..hopefully it will be gone by the time I have enough (kind of) money to buy one!

Yeah. There was a blemish gold one too. I don't even like Gold but I must admit that it looks really sharp. Now if they come out with a Copper one, I'm REALLY in trouble. I really do want a copper mini Nemesis. They are gorgeous.

I don't think he was dogging on you at all. Congrats you will love it. Most consistent vape you can get. Measures flatter than 90 percent of other devices.

No. I wasn't trying to sound mean/offended. It's just been a joke around here that Provari's are for snooty people so I was just picking on him. I know there are many REO lovers in here. Not many outspoken Provari lovers. That's all. No harm/meanness intended.

Just wanted to say thanks for this thread. I've bought a few juices recently based on all of your suggestions. Excited to get vape mail now. Almost pulled the trigger on Mother's Milk, but I'm not sure I'd like it.

This thread ends up costing you a LOT of money!~ Beware! Not only with juices but with devices, attachments, mods, etc. But even so, it's a good place to chat and give information.
Another Ohio-an. Amhearst is pretty close to me.

I think the Omega line is new. I'm guessing that's why elevated has it on such a good sale, get some out there for the reviews to start helping sales.

I never noticed if it's always been that way on the website but I do remember it when I bought mine in the store so I assume so. I'm debating between a satin and a polished one if I decide to get a mini.

So should I order the Caramel Wildwood next AHL order, or the TPL Candied Cavendish? Both? lol

I would say get both, lol. I know youll love the cavendish, havent yet tasted CWW but Im sure itll be excellent, i like the caramel note they use, and all the other wildwoods Ive tried have been excellent. Candied cavendish is like an awesome sweet tobacco with banana.

No special treatment, no notes saying thanks for your order etc. and it's not like I expect it but everyone else I've ordered from has at least said "Thanks" and with the premium you pay for their juice you would think there would be something to make them stand out besides their juice.

I've also ordered a third round from The Plume Room. 30ml of last weeks FOTW Lemon Chiffon Pie, this weeks FOTW Magical Melon Medley along with 60ml of Banana Mint Milkshake and 60ml of Candy and Burley.

Journey - Rolled in cognac and glazed with but.ter.milk, this warm and sweet fla.vor is reserved for only the most exclu.sive cig.ars of the world. Mas.ter Chef Bruce has embold.ened the essence of this fla.vor into a stately and smooth aro.matic fla.vor that amazes and inspires all who taste the wealth of the Jour.ney experience

What I get is basically a Worther's Original, I've let 4 other people try and they all say the same thing. Obviously best when dripped and good in a kayfun, but wouldn't dare put it in a clearo.

No. 1 - Often com.pared to the finest French pas.tries, No. 1 is full of uniquely blended fresh and crisp fla.vors. Pre.pare your.self to be immersed into a sen.sory world of sweet.ness unlike you have ever expe.ri.enced

It's an apple turnover. I taste a light buttery pastry filled with apple syrup and minced apples. Pretty good, best dripped and also good in a kayfun.

Trinity Reserve - Per.haps one of the most incred.i.ble won.ders, Trin.ity is com.posed of silky smooth bour.bon that has been slowly lay.ered in roasted nuts. The crème of this cap.ti.vat.ing fla.vor has quickly become a favorite among the founders of Lazarus Reserve and will equally entice you with its allur.ing aroma and plumes of vape

I don't taste Bourbon, nuts or creme. I don't really know what I taste,but dripped or otherwise this one just isn't doing it for me at all. Something stale tasting about it, almost like it was filtered through a dirty gym sock before bottling. meh

anything you'd like to trade if it's under 6mg, let me know

RY4s are pretty good... when they're good. I've had some horrible attempts at some. I think the best I had was the DIY I did. (1 flavor juices are pretty simple to DIY)
Can't wait to get my flavorings. Just sucks because they're all tobaccos which means they'll probably have to steep a while.

Correctomundo Rin -- Inaweras about 3 weeks. On another note. I've been vaping Gorilla and forgot it was very high VG. Clogs coils like a ..... Makes for some harsh hits.

That's weird... I'm watching VapingwithTwisted420's review on a MAGMA RDA Clone...

well, tbf, I've been recommending the magma since the first clone manufacturer that made it sold it in a group buy and I got one. the posts sucked, but everything else was good. i got the infinite clone before he posted that video and it resolved any issue i had with the posts

i'm rocking dual tiger coils at .5Ω and it is amazing. like, better than before amazing. it really was a game changer for me. i never understood the appeal of drippers unless you just wanted big clouds. this thing is a flavor monster.

i had journey on the smallest air holes at 30W to really step the flavor up. I had to switch to a larger air hole size after 15 minutes, but not because of the heat, but it was too much. too much flavor! when has anyone ever said that about a juice they really liked?

lol

 

[Jonathan]

that's like me going to work. sometime's i panic...oh my, what do I take? Then I fill a little bag and my pockets, because i just don't know what kinda mood i'm going to be in for flavors! It's funny really. i have to sneak around on the sales floor to do my thing, because folks....
My name is Nancy, I'm an addict!

Lol, I have to sneak at work too I just go to the BR and do it high school style, noone has a clue.

This mornings Vapemail, are those little teensy glass bottles TDF or what I would love more of them. They were a gift from Joey at MOV!

Do you have to ask for samples? I ordered 120ml on my first order and recieved no samples..

I'll have to find a link to the spreadsheet and see what you've got

 

[TheProphet]

Recommendations on a flavor to get from The Plume Room? They're running a memorial day sale so I figured I'd try some of their stuff.
