I'm just now getting into building (bought 15 prebuilts for my Sophia and Dripper Pro cuz I'm a total noob/scared at building) and wonder if anyone prefers the taste of silica wick over cotton?

I've read over & over again about the "WOW" factor of cotton wicks, but I get a funky taste. I used organic cotton or SnC cotton yarn I boiled in distilled water...still kinda funky or diff, I can't describe it.

I have a sophia and dripper pro on the way from greece now. I may have some questions for you. I haven't built anything yet so I'm a little intimidated by it...but I also like to tinker with things so at the same time I'm looking forward to it. I did buy some prebuilts for the same reason as you.

I really liked Nutty Cookie. But, I liked Alpha vape Sweet Tooth even more and they were very similar to me. You might give the Sweet Tooth a try sometime, if you get a chance. Since you're liking the NC, I bet you would love the ST too.

Haven't tried it yet, new one for me. The only reorder I got from them is Night Shift. I also got Vanilla Tobacco to try. All of them will need time in the steeple. I love the mouth feel of VCV the heaviness of it. I asthma though I've noticed if I go overboard onVCV my lungs hurt a little. One time I vaped it primarily for days in the kayfun. Lesson learned. It's a great one for the kayfun because of the thickness etc other than a dripper kayfun is the way to go for theirs imo

I'm re-watching the beginning season of Game of Thrones to refresh my memory of the beginning as I go through the full series.
It is a good show.
I have 3 more episodes left in this season's Walking Dead. That is another good show. I don't usually like zombie shows but
Walking Dead is one of the best ones I've seen.
I'll be holding my breath awaiting the next season of WD.

I loved the first season of GOT so much that I bought all the unabridged audiobooks. I listen to them on long drives (1+ hour each way). Fricking fantastic stories! I love all the symbolism, the political intrigue, the well developed characters. These stories got me back into reading fiction. So glad to hear there are GOT fans on this thread!

I watch them both too. Walking Dead is starting to get a little repetitive for me. But, I like GoT so much that I now call Sunday "GoTday". This season has me wanting them to make each episode 4 hours long and a nightly affair. Amazing cast and beautiful filming locations.

Very true to the books also. The book this season is based on was my fav. Lots of twists and turns in store. Jofferys death is just the beginning!!

I ordered 8 from VCV last week. They were all "fine" and I agree with you on the mouth feel. But, so far, all of them taste like something I have already had and liked (slightly in most cases) better. I got the 25% off discount, so the prices are great and I wanted to find something there. I just haven't yet. I have two left to try and two steeping for a retry. Nightshift adn something strawberry are the two I still haven't tried yet. Maybe nightshift will hit the spot for me. Ditto on the Kayfun. I have drippers that I use for new flavors. But, everything that I vape regularly ends up in a KFL+. I just love the no muss / no fuss of the Kayfun for running around and at work.

Oh good. Those are two of the ones I have coming from them. Can't wait to try them!

Hey wait a minute! I just checked my tracking and it says it was delivered yesterday, but I didn't get anything from them. Just an order from another company. Damn, and I won't be home till Sunday to try and find it. Have to send the boys looking for it. Should have checked it sooner. Ugh! :mad:

Ouch....hope you find it!

Yay my VCV and TPR are both ready for pickup. Too bad both need steep time I probably won't get them until I go back home he already thinks I have a problem. Maybe because I do things like bring 10 bottles for the weekend lol

Only 10?!

Just got GLV'S new Decadence and Red Berry Dream! This company is by far one of the best around. I now have everything of the Nebbia line and I like,love, them ALL. My stash is mostly their stuff. Only 2 or 3 I didn't care for, and that is because certain flavor don't do it for me!
Do yourself a favor and try them if you haven't. They have great prices to boot.:vapor:

Hmm maybe I would like their nebbia line better. The base/sweetener in Deadly Sin was not to my liking.

Me too. They boys are all at work right now, so can't even text them to go search for it! First time I've had that happen. Especially when more than one package is delivered. Maybe my son just missed it in the box when he pulled it out last night. I hope so anyway.

I was thinking that wasn't very much either! When I go to my bf's every weekend, I take about 15 different tanks loaded with different juices, and another 10 or so bottles of juice. I just never know what I'm gonna want and I can't just run back to my house to get it, so gotta be prepared! :D

lavender I would love that! Will let you know when I am ready.

PS: I tried to order the vanilla and lavender from AiV today but they are closed. I set a calendar reminder to do it on Tuesday. Looking forward to that flavor combo.

I agree with you about certain sweeteners not working for me. I wish I knew what the ingredient was so I could ask a vendor beforehand and save myself the trouble OR request they make a blend without the sweetener so I could add my own.

I only live 15mins away. I went home yesterday to get something for the boys and switched them out. Holy crap. I just went back and actually checked. If I count the little bottles etc I actually have 19 total. Wow maybe I do have a problem. He doesn't even have that many total! And half I gave him

If it's all the same to you guys, I think I'm just gonna stick with this thread and this thread only on ECF.

Not trying to stir anything up and it's probably just me, but on the main juice discussion forum, it's a little like Groundhog Day (the movie). Same 5-10 companies constantly discussed. Same thread topics begun by noobs over and over. Same flavor discussions. Same everything. Feels like the Twilight Zone. Bring up a new company and there's crickets. Bring up MBV and the whole place goes nuts.

For those that don't know, I also post semi-often on Calivapers ejuice discussion forum. Threads aren't nearly as numerous as here and you don't have to live in CA to participate (duh) but the focus is more geared to the top-shelf crowd and discussion on smaller, batch-driven manufacturers. Hope to see a few of you guys pop over to say hi or participate. It's a bit more mellow with fewer inane questions.

They usually open Tuesday between 9-10:30p my time (eastern) and close before noon we'd am. They always send samples too!
