Gourmet juice junkies and random rambles

I like cartos... I've found them to be the least fiddly thing I own.. and some flavors I actually prefer in a carto... Like Honey Peary and Unicorn Poop, both from Vapor Chef (ironically)... I prefer those in cartos. Tried both in my tanks and didn't care for them. The cartos take out perfuminess or if the flavor is too strong... But I find Alice in Vapeland are best in tanks. 15ft falls is awesome in my RSST... the rest go in my protanks.
Can't wait to get my IGO-L... don't know why I'm so stoked. Thing's been out for decades (not really.. but in vape time) And my brass Magneto looks pretty wicked too. Can't wait to see it in person.

You like them? I could get them to work , but flavor was gone after 3 days... Plus tank would slide off and make a huge mess. I'm a rebuildable type, lol. These vapage atties are better than any premade anything I've used, but they still feel weak compared to my normal rig

I get flavor out of my cartos forever. I even boil them and reuse them. However, I am not a chain vaper... So I don't know if that's why they last so long with me? I also don't tend to vape juices that turn the devices brown. That may be changing though as I am getting in a tobacco mood again. I hope that B&C Burley is as good as you describe it. I LOVE Sprees. One of my favorite candies. That candied cavendish would be my next flavor to get, if I like the B&C. I looked at the Angel Sauce but I'm not a big raspberry person and I haven't had an orange vape that I like. I am picky about fruit flavors. There are some artificial flavors I like but most I don't. Like fake banana is mostly a turn off. The only fake banana I like are the Runts candy. And I just like it... not love it.

Just get a dang REO - trust me on this There's a great thread here on it with great people. 1 of the 3 places I hang out on ECF.



Again - a REO. LOL But seriously.

*snipped*

YES!! A CONVERT hehehe

 

[Miarose]

So what does everyone have comin in the mail this week? I was supposed to be on a spending freeze, but my a7 broke so I had to order 2 more. Now I'm usin a vapage premade on my reo, and its decent now that its broken in. Cant wait til the others get here. Wont even have to drill one yet, I can just switch the old top cap(w/ air hole) on to a new bottom half.

I'm so borrng now! I just have unflavored nic and flavorings coming LoL.
i still can't get enough of vapor chefs strawb vc cake. i may have to start drinking it soon!

 

[jrenae4]

Jenna, how on earth do you get those lr 306's you like so much to work on a reo? Every time I squonk it goes in the catch cup, unless I draw and squeeze @ the same time, then it floods Any advice?

Honestly, no. LOL. Where is your 306 from? Silly question but it has an open bottom right? Honestly I haven't really had any dry hits, I do find I usually have to squonk twice before taking drags though.

Shewwww went out for a few drinks last night after work. The good thing about not smoking is I haven't been drinking either. Now I have a headache.

Maybe you should try the ReadyXWick? = Silica on steroids for flavor + wicking (according to current users)

I prefer the flavor of cotton (boiled multiple times) over anything I've tried but I can't use it. It was giving me horrible chest pains and headaches. I didn't put two and two together until Demitri did a video on it. He was experiencing the same exact thing. I thought I was getting sick but it would happen on and off, with no other symptoms. Once I stopped using anything with cotton (I rebuilt my protank heads with cotton), the symptoms went away. It just sucks because cotton wicked the best in my protank. Silica gives me flooding issues and I don't like the taste. It's diluted IMO. However, I found a method of using silica that pretty much turns it into a cotton-like consistency and that works ok.
*edit* and I got the itchiness in the throat too... some dryness as well... but the main concern was the chest pain

 

[lenexa]

+1 on that!
Best Strawberry/Lemon combo I have sampled to date!
I told Preston they needed to rename the flavor, cause Strawberry Lemonade didn't do it justice.
From a marketing stand point also. He called me 10 days ago, and said they took my suggestion and renamed, and he sent me a fresh bottle!

For you, I would recommend their StrawLemon delight-stronger flavor!!

I wish I had more time for music during "decompress" time! But, my GF is usually in TV mode by the time I get home, and I am always just ready to lounge for some quality time with her.

I have played guitar for a long time (I am 55 now, I know, decrepitly old! Focused on blues for the last couple of decades, mainly SRV and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, then started playing a lot of Warren Haynes (Gov't Mule) and Black Crowes. From the Crowes, I found Derek Trucks (Who IMO is one of the most amazing guitarists presently playing!)... A couple of years ago, I got close again with my oldest Son. He went from Pop Punk, did a complete 180, and started playing Banjo and Fiddle, getting heavy into the Jam Grass genre. I started listening to Railroad Earth type stuff, and had always followed Alison Krauss & Union Station. Saw them a couple of years ago, and got completely immersed with their Dobro player Jerry Douglas. Started listening to everything Dobro. A month ago bought my first Square neck Dobro, a Paul Beard Signature in Mahogany. The voicing you can get from a slide bar on a Dobro is almost unbelievable! Been playing daily for about a month now, and finally getting the hang of banjo picks on the right hand, and a slide bar in the left. Not sure where I'll take it, but finally getting the urge to get back into a band, and do something with it, down the road! Music just make's our life so much better?

Don't worry man, I got this! Got my ship notice same day too!


Same here, can't get enough. Always listening to tunes! I have a 100GB ITunes library with like 16,000 songs. That's my other little hobby. Before someone calls me out, I should note that from an audio standpoint, those headphones technically are not noise cancelling. They are studio monitoring headphones. But trust me, put them on, crank them up, and you won't hear any of the noise or distractions around you. And yeah, definitely, steal your son's if he's not using them. Just in case, here's the ones I picked up:
ATH-M50RD Professional Studio Monitor Headphones || Audio-Technica US

Welcome! And thanks for the tips on the ReadyXWick! I agree 100% I found the link to buy it cheaper from Nextel, but agree it's not worth the aggravation to save a few bucks. But, I am like that with most stuff.

Looking forward to your opinions on other stuff!

I have read every page in this thread now. What a great bunch of people. Feel like I know so much about some of you lol.... Reading through this thread is like taking a journey into a bunch of your lives. Feel like some of you are all ready friends and we have never even talked. Just a few things I would like to chime in on from the last few pages.

For the person talking about getting a Kamry, definitely get one from a US vendor. There are plenty of legit k100s from US vendors for the same price or cheaper then fasttech. If you need some links just let me know.

Also ReadyXwick or xc1600 is a ceramic wicking material from 3m/Nextel. It is about 2 dollars per foot from Nextel but has not been treated. It is not easy to treat and must be heated to super high Temps in a kiln for 12 hours. I bought 50 feet and followed the instructions from 3m. It was a pain in the .... and my electric bill was sky high from only doing one batch (my wife does slumping and glass blowing so all ready had a kiln) It is so much easier to buy it from RBAsupplies and 8 dollars a foot is a bargain in my eyes after the ordeal of trying to do it myself. Mine also did not end up as stiff as RBAsupplies and also frayed a little where the RBAsupplies wick does not. I don't know exactly what he does to it but it works. He is definitely going above and beyond what is required by 3m. The guy who own RBAsupplies is also a very nice guy who really cares about vaping community. He has a weekly show on Vapers.tv on the Novabroadcasting channel on Sundays. Just reread this paragraph and I sound like I work for them lol just a now loyal customer who has been treated with the utmost respect and awesome customer service. ReadyXwick has also brought new life to my gennies as well. Nothing wicks like this stuff.

I love this thread and hopefully it has room left for me to join in the fun.

So far it's been a great read with great people.

Music does that for you! I played (solo acoustic) professionally for 27 years, everything from Jimi to jazz. I opened up for Pat Benetar at HOB in 1998.
Now, I work in a music store selling equipment to all the up and coming performers. Im surrounded on a daily basis!

I must have missed this one! I'm very interested as I do need stronger flaves and this one sounds great. Any others from here that you'd recommend?

lol. i'm not super great at it. luckily most of what i've made has been vapeable. i made a honey pearry clone that i'll be able to work with. i don't expect my juices to taste like vendors, i just want them to be good enough.maybe i'll find my unicorn flavor! right now most of them are strawberry based. a friend and i are trying to come up with some ideas for clones of vapor chef strawb vc cake, steam juices ambrosia and glv's yoplay parlay!

I'm on the TPR Angel Sauce right now, too! I want to thank all of you for recommending it and also Brett (I think?) for the email campaign to get TPR to keep it on the menu!
I have a little trouble liking fruity flavors, but this one is really good and today I should get my 30 ML re-order of it. Wait, will there be vape mail with today being Good Friday?
What's everyone else vaping this morning?

Finishing up a tank of Napalm from Coval. I find their blends tank well, but are a bit "Harsh" on a dripper.

Vaping The Potion Meltdown (still) exquisite, and always have an AHlusion on hand, today it is Coco Berry Cream and Strawberry Shortcake.

also dripping some older stuff to check back in with it and then going to make a list for the classified.
Purple Pieman and XTC from Fuzion, lots of Mountain Oak Vapor, some Gremlin, some Deej, VCV, selling all of 'em. Need space. Tired of the clutter. Got my top 15.

 

[VAPlN']

I have a USPS tracking summary that shows today as "out for delivery". So, I think you're in good shape.
