oh Yay! Just saw this. Glad you treated yourself Rin!

Well, I pulled the trigger today when I got home from work. (ROUGH day, again) I was thinking about it last night but the problem was that I couldn't log into my checking account to check to see what my exact balance is. (system was "under maintenance) Tonight I was able to so I made sure I had more than enough in there and did it. I'm excited. (I ended up getting the satin finish one. I figure I may as well get one that's unblemished if I'm shelling out that much money and it's the same price as a new Satin one)

OMG not dogging, I am green with envy. One day I will feel the urge to do the same because I think it is the ultimate in vape gear.

Ya'll can dog on Provari all you want. To each their own... and in my instance... It's not just because of the name/brand thing. I buy my clothes from a Thrift Store for crying out loud. It took me a YEAR to finally submit that loaded Provari cart. It's hard shelling out $180 bucks all at once. At least it's free shipping.

I agree and I also buy expensive make-up. I am a Lancome fan mostly. But I am also a sucker for the GWP at Dillards and Macy's so I end up with Clinique and Dior a lot too. I love MAC eyeliner and Lancome's powders and Dior's lip gloss best. My daughter loves the Benefit line so she sometimes suckers me into buying that for her. I have not used drugstore make-up since my teens and would probably go without underwear before giving up good make-up.

Mine rattlesnakes like a ..... I don't know. Some things, IMO, are worth splurging on. (most aren't) I don't know if any of ya'll are into makeup... but there's this higher-end brand called Urban Decay... And they have these palettes called the Naked palette. (kind of like a Provari of makeup, I guess) They had 1, 2 and the latest was the 3rd. I've always wanted one but they're $50... and I just couldn't see shelling out that much, especially since the first and second were colors I wouldn't necessarily wear. Well, the third one came out and was pink-toned... which I have pink undertone... SO match made in heaven. I waited until the hype died a little bit to make sure that's not the only reason I Wanted one and ended up getting it. I use the .... everyday that I wear makeup. I've had it since January and you can barely see the usage. They last all day on my eyes, they look great and feel great. It will last me a LONG time. It's much better than drugstore eyeshadows. (which I can't use... wish I could but all of them look like crap on me)
So basically... a quality product that lasts a long time and you actually use is worth the extra money.

I usually stay away from the trendy ones. Seems like most of the stuff marketed by Giant Vapes and Elevated are just hyped up. They all seem to have the same base and I don't like it and I wonder if it is all being made by the same people in the same factory and they just make a new bottle and a new label. I mean aside from a few (Mad Alchem) you can not find a webpage for them. No information on the owners practices and such. I know they market for a few quality ones and I think the Alpha and Omega line are one of the quality ones. I love Manchu. Burns clean and taste great. I am all about giving my money to the vendors that are going to be around for awhile and they have set up their own labs and are in tune with what is happening with the FDA. I don't think half of the nonsense at Giant Vapes will be around when the going gets tough. They will have taken their money and found the next trendy thing to market.


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?

Oh my gosh that is a killer deal. I checked it out and did not see any vendors that I like except Alpha/Omega. I might do that today too. I would get 2 Sweet Tooth (based on what you have said) 2 Manchus and something else. Just too good to pass up


I decided to try out the easy vape club. I'm taking a chance that I will love Chronos. I ordered the 6 15ml bottles. Got 2 Chronos, 2 Sweet Tooth and 2 of some blueberry flavor they have. It was only $28 with the discount and I pay $22 plus shipping for Sweet Tooth so I'm not out much if I hate the others but for a total of 90ml it was too good to pass up.

Anyone tried TPR's Magic Melon Medley? It's FOTW still and now there is an additional 20% off Memorial Day sale. (I posted this question on the other thread as well.)

Check back tonight. FOTW changes on Monday nights. I'm waiting cuz I don't like Magic Melon and hoping it will be Peanut Butter Creme Pie

:laugh:

trying out the sample of Plume Room-iced gingersnap

wow, it's spicy! Gingery, it's a perfect replication!
Firephly's got me lusting after this one (Iced Gingersnap at TPR)-- and I haven't tried Magic Melon Medley yet, so I may just go ahead and order those while the sale is on and MMM is FOTW. I'm a little overstocked on all their other flavors that interest me ATM, so a change to a different FOTW tonight might mess me up --
Wonder if TPR will still actually change the FOTW with today being a holiday and having a sale running already?? Hmmmmmm.... decisions!
