Gourmet juice junkies and random rambles

[lavender1742]

Ive only had 2 juices do that to me that quickly. You don't vape a lot anyway I say just order a couple samples. Every so often I throw a sampler on their of stuff that I don't like often. Sorry about your parade spend the money on Catnip and a sampler pack maybe. I actually just vaped my last sampler last night out riding in the city. I love our city on a motorcycle at night. That's the only time I really like it. Dripped at the stoplights lol

 

[lavender1742]

No... In my experience, most men aren't particular... Which I find annoying and I envy that. I would love to be laid back and not care about anything but it's just not me. I wish I weren't so picky. I have a billion dollar taste w/ a Lean Cuisine budget.

Champagne taste on a beer budget is what we call it lol

Does tobacco make you nervous because you haven't tried any or just haven't found any you like? I just made em_elle a believer!

I have only tried one, it was 15FF and I liked it ok but it wasn't something I loved. I only got that one because I was told it was a "tina"


I wish I could. Only one left but still. Its even worse no one would take all of them

That is so sad, kids are going through enough without losing their siblings.

Short story: I think I have mentioned before but I adopted a teenager recently, I will call her E. E was removed by DHS, it was supposed to be temporary but things did not go as planned and her parents' rights were terminated and I adopted her. She has two younger sisters who were also removed from their mother but were able to go with their father and step mother. E's father was deported several years ago so that was not an option for her. I think that has been one of the hardest parts for her. She was the caretaker in the family and basically raised the younger girls, now she doesn't get to live with them. We still get them together as much as possible but they live quite a distance away so it's not as simple as having dinner once a week.

My turn off on Frenilla is the Custard part, why 2 vanilla custards Nicoticket?

Good question...

Yeah... I have a lot of sweet juices laying around. They are good but I can only vape them sporadically. That's the thing about AIV. It's funny because the thing that I thought I wouldn't like about them turned out to be the thing that keeps me coming back. They are subtle. So subtle that I don't get sick of them the way I do other juices. I think I'll be placing another order with them this Tuesday. I've been wanting to get a big one of "Cheshire Catnip" but didn't want to just get that. I'll be adding "Twas Brilig" to that, I think. I was almost certain I'd like it but I'm weird so you never know. This sample is good though. They just take a while to steep so I figure I'd get it now. The 15ft falls I bought weeks ago, I think is finally ready. Just not sure what to put it in.

I should dig out my 15ff and see what I think of it now.

I can only do Twas Brillig in sample bottles. Learned that the hard way it takes a couple weeks to steep then its great then it stabs me in the back don't know if its air or what. I prefer the falls in the kayfun even over dripping. Need to go back to my sample of Catnip remind me what it tastes like again. I may even have the sample with me hmmmmm. I always pick stuff when I go over to the SO for the weekend and then throw a few random things in just in case.

I really hope that my Twas Brillig doesn't do that to me. I have been vaping it daily but not primarily so it's been open for over a week now. I was planning to order more but I better see how it goes before getting a 30ml

I was thinking of getting another sampler of the few flavors I haven't tried yet but meh. Now I'm thinking maybe I should stop spending more money on juices til I figure out what to put them in. So far, I'm still having issues. The ReadyWick is good, don't get me wrong but I'm still not sure that dripping is an all-day thing for me. It seems that it's only something I like to do every now and then.
Problem is that I'm still digging my cartomizers more than anything else but only certain juices taste good in it. My Protank heads are STILL giving me endless issues. I may just give up on rebuilding them as it seems that I'll NEVER get that wick package I ordered and nothing else I've tried works with them. I wish I could use cotton. It worked and tasted the best... but my chest hurt so bad from it. I'm wondering if it was just that particular brand of cotton (VapingGreek had the same issue as me and ironically used the same exact cotton as me) The only other option would I guess be buying unbleached cotton. Because even though what I bought was organic, they bleach it with peroxide.

 

[Rin13]

I'm also wondering if that cosmetic cotton stuff (koh gen do pure cotton) would suffice.

Lol, yes I hear that. Except now my budget can afford my taste, lol. I'm getting pretty stocked up on juice, lol. But I was doin that when I was just fixing peoples machines too, just not goin out to eat much. My gf is an awesome cook, so we dont have to spend a bunch at the store. But now that I'm on contract again, I dont have to sit there and worry about what we can get and what we cant and not spending smart. Im savin up for several things at once now though, so I wont be blowin much on juice or vape gear for awhile most likely.

 

[Rin13]

Well, I'm not quite there yet. Won't be for a couple years... but hopefully someday I can get some "champagne"

 

[Cranky99]

Lmao, what? men arent allowed to be picky now? Someone forgot to send me the email, lol I'm picky about lots of things. Im not a picky eater though as long as its cooked right When it comes to things I really like, I do tend to be picky. I wont get chinese just anywhere. Im picky about my "nap taking materials" to the point of bein a snob about it. Same with my juice now, thanks to yall, lol

I sometimes wish I had never discovered how great this juice is. I could have stuck with my cheap garbage, gotten down to 0 nic and quit. Now, I have no desire to ever quit. I see that signature that says how much I haven't spent on cigarettes and it is not very encouraging because I know I have spent way more on juice and hardware.

Catnip tastes like catnip, lol. It's slightly minty and almost Pine-y. Someone said they get absinthe/licorice out of it but I don't. I still want to try straight up catnip tea. I found a tea w/ catnip in it but it had a bunch of other stuff in it too. Even let my cat sniff the teabag and she wasn't interested. (and she's obsessed w/ catnip) (which reminds me that she's been out of that for a while) How come cats can get *hello* but humans can't? Not fair.

I love watching cats with catnip! I also love your reference *hello*

Lavender ever after was my daily night night juice for awhile, I finally burnt out on it. If you don't like it let me know I will trade it out or something for you its definitely not for everyone. What else did you get? I haven't tried FSV yet and my entire night stand is my vape stuff its 2 big deep drawers. I divide the bottles up in AiV or GV etc boxes with the tops torn off. Not fancy but it works! I also have the inside lift out part of a tackle box in there for smaller items. Drip tips, orings, spare parts etc.

I will try to get to it soon, it has been steeping about a month now. i also ordered Call Me Vanilla, I am afraid of the cool exhale on that one, not sure if I will like it. I got bandersnatch also, no idea what was going through my head there. It doesn't sound appealing but now that I tried this other pb banana flavor tonight, I have hope.

The Lavender from AIV is good. It's the reason I bought the one from FSV. Except I wanted MORE Lavender flavor. The AIV is pretty mild. Well, I got MORE Lavender from FSV alright. I'm hoping that it's not too much though. I like floral but as it stands, it's a friggin' Royal Garden of floral. (I just got it a couple days ago so I'm sure it needs to steep)

Maybe mix the 2 and get the right balance of lavender?

I have never been on a motorcycle at night, it sounds fun in a way but in reality, they scare the **** out of me in the daytime so I doubt I could enjoy it.

That's a wonderful thing your doing.
15FF was my first tobacco love definitely give it another go. I would offer to take it too but I have 50mls left lol that was one of the ones I send em_elle.

Did you try the cotton in the protank heads and still have that problem. I use sterile cotton balls. Be happy to send you some if you wanna try. I don't boil it or anything either. I actually think (just my opinion) that for vaping organic cotton is worse a lot of time it has hull in it and most of the time it doesn't say sterile on it so Im not using it on my kids booboos nor in my dripper.

Glad your doing well. Buy her something nice!

The last couple havent been easy... Ever since 2008 the economy hasnt been that great out here, and everyone that didnt go into healthcare went into IT. Plus theres a huge influx of soldiers coming back/already back with IT training. Not to mention the communist healthcare act and giant federal/state level misappropriations made by the big brother regime. Glad to have my foot in the door with a global place, hope I get hired in. Then Ill get around a $5 raise and a little more security, lol. This last 5 years of economic drought has left me feeling like I have a ton to catch up on now.

I'm also wondering if that cosmetic cotton stuff (koh gen do pure cotton) would suffice.

I found that stuff to be a pita. I ended up giving the box to my daughter yesterday for makeup removal. It just didn't work for me.

I have found that I need a variety of toppers. I have some carto tanks for the juices that do best in them, 3 kayfuns, my taifun, rm2's on my REO's, a Nautilus (only one of that type I have found usable but I still can't chain vape on it without dry hits) and a couple different drippers that I never use.

Well, I'm not quite there yet. Won't be for a couple years... but hopefully someday I can get some "champagne"

You will!

I just looked and I only have about 5 ml left out of 15 so I must have liked it more than I thought.

Thank you, she is family so I want to have her here so that I know she is loved. A teen going into the foster care system is facing an uphill battle all the way.

She was inducted into the National Honor Society this week! I am so proud of her.

LoL. Glad you got that. i know the mods are touchy about certain agriculture.
I mixed Call me Vanilla and Lavender Ever After together because I wanted more vanilla with the lavender... and both juices on their own are a little bland. It's definitely better be still a little bland. I'm afraid to mix more with it though. I feel like it's as good as it's going to get and it's still pretty good.
If anything, I'll be adding vanilla of some sort to the Lavender one but I'm going to hold off. Sometimes sweet/desert notes takes a while to surface.

If you see one you like, click on it and it should take you to wherever they went to create it. You could always get a REO one now =)

Yeah, I would definitely let it steep before trying to figure out how to change it. It may change on its own.

Good grief, I am chatty tonight. I don't think I have ever posted this much.

 

[lavender1742]

I may once I have my REO I haven't even payed for the darned thing yet. Im not complaining just anxious/excited! I emailed rob and told him to go ahead and invoice me for it and the rm2 and whatever else I might need lol

Jonathan. You bought a gross of the 6ml bottles right?

 

[Rin13]

Did you try the cotton in the protank heads and still have that problem. I use sterile cotton balls. Be happy to send you some if you wanna try. I don't boil it or anything either.

Yes. Cotton worked in the Protank heads fine. The cotton worked with EVERYTHING!!! That's why I am hating that I can't use it. Maybe you're right. I think I may try that koh gen do pure cotton stuff. It's never been chemically treated, bleached and raised w/ no chemicals or pesticides. I remember someone talking about it in here and they liked it. I've tried regular cotton balls and probably have some around here somewhere (I wear makeup) so maybe I'll try them tomorrow before buying the koh gen do pure cotton stuff. I just got scurred after hearing another person experiencing what I was, except his was worse. I am paranoid.

I have a tendency to make anyone who wonders in stay up and talk to me when I work. Force of habit keeps me awake and more upbeat

I bought the koh gen do from Barney's online. It was around $13 and free shipping. They sent it UPS.

I would be happy to send you some if you want to try it. I am making a post office run on Monday anyway.
