Gourmet juice junkies and random rambles

[lavender1742]

1) Now: Mothers Milk
2) Top: Honey Pearry TVC
3) Recent: Honey Pearry, Shmuffer Smutter, Strawberry VC & Blue Jazzberry all TVC

My turn to play.
1-Currently vaping the last droplets of Peachy Criminal which since I overslept for work and had no wakeup time was a very helpful pickmeup at 18mg!! Gonna swap it over to Smooth Criminal and a mix of VCV White Beard tobacco and MBV Butterscotch. White Beard is STONG tobacco with a throat punch at 12mg so I have to dumb it down w/butterscotch even more than usual because my asthma is acting up w/allergy season. Gonna give Lemon Cream another try tonight (sigh)
2-Top at this time (always subject to change) VCV Night Shift (dont worry 15FF Im sure its temporary) and Lime Cream which is on rations until more gets here and learn to love Lemon Cream all on its lonesome
3-Recent arrivals Eye of Newt, Vape Kitchen Pineapple Cream and some samples sent by a lovely friend today of Peachy Criminal, Strawberry Yum Cake and another tobacco I cant remember because its not with me.
4-Next up??? Probably gonna get in on the VCV sale and pickup more Nightshift and maybe try Campfire (smores)
5-Coming in the mail my Ahlusion order from last week it should be here monday

Whoever wanted to try Lemon Cream if you want a sample in 12mg 50/50 let me know.

Does anyone know if the Steam juice discount it on everything or just the new reserve?

So far I've liked everything from TVC except black pom pom...this is "my" go to company. I'm on my 2nd 60ml bottle of Honey Pearry, I cant get enough of this stuff.

I love Black Pom Pom... It's funny... I just said in my video that I had yet to meet/hear of a person not liking Black Pom Pom...

 

[Rin13]

How much is the stuff untreated? I have access to a heat treat oven, if everyone wants we can go in on a bunch of the stuff and I can get it heat treated for free lol

No idea how much. Someone said that they did that themselves (his wife had a kiln) and it wasn't worth it. Their heating bill was SUPER high and the result was not nearly as good as the place I bought from. Just FYI

I heard the same..

And for those tired of hearing me b**ch I think the Lemon Cream may have gotten its act together. Further details later.

Just found out about this thread thanks to a regular that was looking out for me (love you guys!)

Cut my fingers up today at work on Chinese threads. I love them so much....

Oh! And just so the people I like so much aren't misinformed, turning a device to 3.7 is not like hitting a mech. A battery comes off the charger at ~4.2 volts. By the time it gets to 3.7 it's hitting not so amazing anymore.

Yep, I wasnt planning on payin the electric bill on a heat treat, itd be like 100 bucks to run a heat treat oven 1700 degrees for 12 hrs... Does a kiln even go that high? Could be why it didnt work, or they might quench it too when they take it out.. Motor oil demo was extremely impressive. I have about 100' of my favorite silica bein shipped as we speak so I dont plan on switching over completely or anything. Would be interesting to see if xc-116 can be had cheap untreated though. I still have friends in machine shops, which all have heat treat ovens. And in almost every machine shop, when the boss makes us work weekends, we work on our own stuff, lmao

Not a machinist in all of china can turn a decent set of threads. No standards in their craftsmanship

Well, I just tested out a bunch of my flavors on a small section of the readyX and torched it after testing all of those... When you torch it, the remaining liquid catches fire and once it's out, leaves a black residue (I don't know if silica does this? I usually just toss silica once I'm through.. lol) After that, you torch it again and it becomes pure white again... It's freaking awesome. I swear... I am in love so far. I've never had such good results with dripping... Just the other day I was ready to give up on dripping completely... It's craziness. Now I know why Mo' is such an advocate

My SmokTech Magneto would beg to differ

No, silica torches off, but not black then white like the guys vid. Bet it stank to make that video, lol

Welcome Chad

Thank you!

I'm not sure if it's available or not but I tried juice from the "taste" line today (and try googling "taste juice" I dare you haha) They had three flavors as testers, lemon key lime, blueberry cream, and vanilla custard. We score them while testing and these three got the highest ratings of any juice line I've seen so far.

It's not the best juice ive ever had but if its not out yet be on the lookout for it because it's pretty damn good stuff.

Vanilla custard is notorious for being one of the simplest flavors to make but theirs is apparently a mix of over 40 flavors. I really enjoyed it. Blueberry cream and lemon key lime were really good too. Not super complex but really solid solid flavor. Definitely be on the lookout.

The threads on my zmaxes are decent. I hold machined parts to american standards when I eval them, because I was a machinist for years. I expect them to be deburred, they seldom are on anything but smok products. I also expect there to be no chatter(when tool is dull and starts skipping, leaves a crappy finish). It isnt hard to figure out how many parts it takes to wear out the inserts/cutters. The machine keeps track for you, lol! I have set machines up and showed complete idiots how to run and maintain process/dimensions/tools. The chinese manufacturers simply just dont care about the quality of the product they put out, except for smok. I've liked all my smok things, I just expect more out of these kinds of parts because I know exactly what the machines that make them can and cant do..

]I often wonder the same thing-are different batches inconsistent with some vendors? Or do we all just really taste so differently? Also would be interested in knowing how long since someone quit smoking versus trying these-how much impact that has.)

I have wondered the same. I had long since quit smoking before I started vaping so I never vaped a nicotine juice. (besides tasting random flavors) Saying that, every nicotine juice I've tried has been rank to me (very acidic, rancid, gross) with the exception of Flavorz by Joe, Alien Visions and Vapor Chef. (found out about Vapor Chef on accident) When Vapor Chef sent me a sample, they accidentally sent a 12mg nicotine one instead of 0 like the rest were... I didn't even know it had nicotine in it until I happened to read the label while doing a review. Even after tasting it again, knowing the nicotine is there... I tasted nothing funky... I did get a bit of a buzz from it... but no nasty taste. (it didn't help that it was a 0.6 ohm coil)

Guess I will splurge on a $8 foot after I hear how long it lasts for you and I have money again. Are you using an actual torch or a lighter?

 

[Rin13]

Late to the party but

1) What are you vaping right now? Strawberry VC Cake
2) What is your current one to vape? Blue Jazzberry (ATM)
3) What is the most recent vape mail flavors you received? Ahlusion, just got it today. Peppermint Mocha & Shipwreck.
FOOB, Peppermint Mocha is a bit skunky, light on cocoa/mint.... Shipwreck is already good. I can tell I'll love Shipwreck... The Peppermint Mocha, not sure but there's hope.

Where do you review?

So The Steam Co. finally released their newest reserve, The Beaumont. 25% off with coupon code EXCITINGAWAITS. Per Steam Co's description: This oak-aged e-juice has a distinct and sophisticated flavor profile inspired by very rare bourbon. The maturity it has achieved while aging is quite obvious when you take your first puffs. The inhale is a wonderfully smooth and rich blend of black cherry and almond, perfection only matched in class by a fine after dinner cognac. The smooth, oak flavor fuses with brown sugar before being complimented by a butterscotch exhale that will leave your mouth watering drag after drag. The oak barrels that we age this liquid in have been carefully hand-selected to imbue specific characteristics into this blend. Beaumont Reserve has been aged, or steeped, for over 2 1/2 weeks, each day maturing further into this spectacular flavor.

I know several of us have talked about this before so wanted to let you all know

ok i went and found what you said about it on that thread

Oh my y'all - I'm just now revisiting the Beaumont Reserve. They need to release this NOW. It is fabulous. The oaky cherry nutty brown sugar meld all together to form this perfect and maybe my all time favorite vape. Absolutely delectable!!

screw it, i'm getting some!

vaping gentleman's right now, it's one of those things i always like having

 

[angelphyre]

Woohoo! I am so excited! Just bought a Reo! I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas now!

Of course now I'm gonna have to unload a bunch of stuff. Have to start listing juice and stuff when I get home. I know I'm going to have a brand new mvp shine to list because I bought it yesterday before I saw this. But boy am I excited!

Nono, just a bit of it. I bought the silica before the checks came in anyway, lol. The rest is getting put up. Im not really in a vape rut at all right now, been switching back and forth between tpr, ahl, clever and thumper. Havent had problems getting burnt out on anything really, Just havin problems consuming as much as Id like to lately. % or 6 puffs every hour or so isnt cutting it, I liked to chain vape. now I find myself not hitting it that much when I'm home either. Havent filled reo bottle since I started work except for once, but that was so I could switch flavors. The other bottle is half full still!
