GP Series by VapourArt - Official Thread for GP Spheroid, GP PAPS, X, GP Piccolo, GP SnP and more - Part 3

Hey, tell me why you like your Spheroids better than your Herons.
The Spheroid is very tempting to me, though I still haven't mastered the Heron.

Nice score you got there Bill
I have 2 Herons and 3 Spheroids with a 4th Sphero v1 on the way from the classifieds. I love my Spheroids more than my Herons and had thought about offering the same trade he had. However the cost difference between the two devices was too great for me to want to trade.
Pretty sweet that he included the 510 adapter as well!
VapinBill loves his fat chicks but skinny girls need love too!

TiX and Spheroid has quickly become my main vape.

Today's vapes...

I have an excellent Banana Cream recipe I will share with you.

I haven't tried a banana recipe since they are typically tank crackers. But I would like to try your recipe if you wouldn't mind sending me a PM, please.

I doubt you have been doing DIY long enough to even start getting out of the woods yet bro. I spent a month just researching to figure out my recipes before I bought supplies and made my first batch, then made small batches up to 36 at a time to drip test as they aged, made notes to adjust, etc. Very labor intensive those early days. That said, the DIY didn't really take off until I bought a UC. After that is was a ton less work with a very fast reward at the end on those I got right. I could get a brainstorm and be vaping it almost fully aged in hours, always the same day. Spent a lot of bucks setting up my DIY lab, but the best $100 spent was for the UC.

Spoken with much wisdom.

DIY can be a bit frustrating at first until you get a feel for it. I just found out about using a few drops of apple cider vinegar to bring out the flavors. I haven't tried it yet but will on a papaya-mango recipe soon.

I will have to look into a UC.

GVC site is the most miserable site I have ever tried to order from. This is the 4 attempt to order juice and I keep getting the STUPID message that my address does not match my Paypal address. IT DOES. They never return my emails. And they always run out of stock before I am able order.

Will someone please recommend a site that WORKS that carries custard .

This is the STUPID error I get:
Unable to process payment. Please contact the merchant as the shipping address provided by the merchant is invalid, and the merchant has requested that your order must be shipped to that address.

What do you vape? I will pick some up for you! The 50/50 18mg that I vape is still there...

 

[VapinBill]

Thank you, LandMan.
I only vape 3mg and below. I tried to order 100mil of 0 also 50/50

 

[landman2k1]

Thank you, LandMan.
I only vape 3mg and below. I tried to order 100mil of 0 also 50/50

How about a 50mil of 0 and a 50mil of 6, combine them for 100mil of 3? If that works, let me know and I will order it for you.

 

[VapinBill]

That will work. Thank you.

 

[VapinBill]

Double post

I sent you a pm

 

[landman2k1]

That will work. Thank you.

All set buddy!

 

[VapinBill]

Thanks again. I got an email from them and was able to continue my original order. Combining that with your efforts, I should have enough for a while.

 

[faitaccompli]

Nothing against GVC, but there are far too many great custards out there to deal with the horrid site and fight to get a juice. I have several really good custards sitting here right now... Why not just get a different one? Cyclops vapor has a great one called Collosus. BRV has one, Colonels custard. King's Crown has a really good one and another with custard in it.

I just have this thing about "unicorns". I really don't like businesses that don't produce enough to meet demand, or have a good way to purchase it. To me it is disrespectful to the clientele and says they don't care about my business. Not saying Grant is necessarily like the unicorn mod suppliers.. But the experience seems too similar for my liking.

Bill, Blends By Bryce makes a very good custard & a great vanilla cream pudding. I pm him my order, pay by PayPal, get free shipping & juice is in my hand two days later. He also has a website you can order from with a credit card of course. Just a thought

 

[VapinBill]

Thanks to you both. I may check the recommended suppliers next time. When I got the email from, Grant he seemed to be a really nice guy. I wish he had better technical support on his site.

I thank all my GP family members for putting up with my early morning rant and I extend apologies to anyone I may have offended .

 

[yankeebobo]

Grant is an absolutely fantastic guy. He started this "hobby" of mixing this juice for his use and from what I remember shared this juice with a few others. The rest became history. I'm not sure that selling one juice has given him the urgency to upgrade his website to servers able to handle the traffic/load, but with the way his juice is in demand by so many, I'm not sure it's even on his to do list. Those that are GVCaholics, will find ways to hang in there. Right, wrong, or indifferent.

I will have to look into a UC.

Lots of things have been tried/used to enhance/alter eliquids. Some good, some maybe and some bad that I would never use. Like with the flavors themselves what they do is based on the percentage used. Vinegar is a standard for enhancing tobacco eliquids. And it can be used to knock down too much sweetness by making them a little bitter. Another choice for your p-m recipe to consider... concentrated lemon juice wakes up fruit flavors, gives them pizazz (and adds sweetness to bakery flavors). I'm not a fruit vape person, very few fruit liquids have been doable for me and I don't make, generally don't buy them anymore. So I can't offer you the percentage for your p-m recipe for either... you'll have to find it by T&E. Just start low, you can always add more.

On the UC, if you buy right you won't have to buy again. Cheap hobbyist UC's are a waste of money, professional duty will maybe last a lifetime and do a better job. While you can pay hundreds of dollars for a UC, you can get others that are excellent for around $100. I followed the lead/advice of a gent who had been using them for 2-3 years to age eliquids. The second one he bought was the first one I bought. Zero regrets, it works flawlessly, is programmable with the important features, wattage, choice or heat/no heat, ample timer, removeable basket and capacity. I can do tobacco's that take 5-6 or more weeks of constant attention (breathe, shake) to age the old way and make them 80%-90% aged in as many hours in the UC, other liquids in as little as 2-3 hours. They are ready to vape for me, but if you want 100% aged they'll still need a rest period after the aggitation of the UC, 2-3 days. I don't worry about the 100%, it will happen on its own while I am enjoying the first of the liquid in the bottle. A UC beats the H out of weeks/months of shaking up to dozens of bottles.

A little less than I paid for mine...

Grant does as much business as Grant wants to do to still leave the quality time with his family he wants. Can't fault that, family should come first. As has been said MANY times, he is a very nice man who within the constraints of his available time does all he can for his customers. This is a small operation, a hobby that exploded. He doesn't have the staff to handle more because he doesn't want more. Live with it or buy elsewhere.

Vapor Day's are all about unicorns to some extent whether they are from Grant, from Perseas, from Blake, from Rob, from any business that holds them. If you like a product in limited production and want it you either play the game, do without or try to catch them on classifieds.

 

[VapinBill]

Well said Yankee and Spydro .
Spydro, what kind of bottles should I order to steep my GVC in?
