Grand terrace vapor general discussion thread & reviews!!

Well, with your infomercial skills, I can see you going far in this direction.

I enjoy marking. It has to be one of my favorite things in the entire world. I have a pretty decent swipe file and a extremely large collection of marketing books. Someday I will have a late nigh infomercial.

I can always dream, right? =)

I've womped (shorebreak bodysurfing--can break your neck if you don't know what you're doing) on a couple of beaches on the big island of Hawaii, but my surfing is done locally. I mostly gave up boardsurfing in high school (with the exception of a wickedly hollow reef that a friend of mine and I resurrected as a surfspot) and bodysurf at some local breaks that are no-board zones. Here's a pic taken at one of the two breaks (that's not me):

Vapor and break neck surfer, check. I will have to get a picture of you surfing so I can put up a picture of you in my shop. Then I can say "hey, I knew him back before he became so famous." The vaping surfer, kinda like the naked cowboy. New trend on the horizon started by Count Boredom.

I think the beta test is about ready for the cantaloupe flavor. Name of the flavor will be released in the next couple days.

LOL! We have a clothing-optional beach here that also happens to be a decent beach for surfing. The two don't mix very well, though. There are images that get seared into your brain when you pop out from ducking under a wave and the next wave has a guy hanging one and a pair instead of ten.

Contest prize package got here today - Love Spell and Caribbean Jack.

Got here really fast for coming to FPO - shipped out of there on Monday (was late Mon night for me) and in my box before noon today. That is real good considering all our stuff goes thru Chicago before heading west across the Pacific to get here.

Now the question is let it steep for awhile or try it as soon as I get home. Letting it steep a bit for the next few hours before I leave. Right now I'm thinking that I'll set up a couple tanks tonight and at least be doing a test vape on them - cause I don't think I'll be able to wait. They have smells that just as you think you've got it identified it changes. Hoping the flavors do the same.

Kudos to RML and GTV!

Well, I was right. Couldn't wait to try them. I like both flavors and they get my recommendation.

Love Spell
The apple comes out nicely and I think there's strawberry in it. I know there are other flavors but I can't pinpoint them. It has a slight sweetness but it is mild and not overly sweet like some other fruit flavors. The overall vape is smooth.

Caribbean Jack
Get the hazelnut on the inhale and a mix of the vanilla and rum on the exhale (interesting taste with that). Has a reasonable TH in between inhale and exhale - enough to let me know but not hard. Nice smooth flavors.

I put both in PT2's (I only have tanks) on a VTR. Took quite awhile to get the wicks saturated due to max VG. Tried them at 4 watts to start - nice cloud but seemed like I could get more flavor. Turned it up to 6 watts and the taste was much better - could start picking out the different parts. Got a RBA on the way - think I'll wait for that do the rest of it (but will be trying different settings on the VTR with what's still in the tanks).

A few more days and 2 week steep will be done on the new flavors I got to try. I think letting juice steep is the hardest part for me when it comes to new flavors. I am not a very patient person!

 

[CountBoredom]

It's hard to wait on the steeping, so what I do is throw everything into a box so that I don't see it. The problem is that I don't see it and sometimes forget about it in the steeping box....

 

[Carolina Vapoor]

Haha. I have a 2 drawer night stand in my basement that all of mine goes into. I have to add a reminder on my phone in order not to forget when and what I add to the steeping drawer.

Dripping is oh so much better to me. Makes us all at Grand Terrace Vapor to hear you love your Marshmallow.

Crazy weather here. We got some cabo san lucas storm weather pushed all the way into where I live in Cali. How about you? anything new going on with you and yours?

Oh something new with us is The new mystery beta flavor is going up in a few hours! =)

Same kind of stuff: crazy hot and humid, sudden microbursts with downed trees, flooded streets, and flaming palm trees (I kid you not!).

I will be investigating this first thing in the morning!

Yet another reason for me never to live in California.

So today the 2 week steep is done on a couple new flavors. As of now Green Apple is the only one I have had time to try.

Sooo close. This one has good potential but it is not there yet. For me the taste of a green apple is definitely there on the exhale but not really there on the inhale. I believe the actual flavor is spot on for that of a green apple. I am just finding the flavor kind of weak for my liking (I prefer very strong, pronounced flavor). Going to let it steep another week and see if the flavors intensifies any, will update then.

Hardware ~ Magneto in 18650 mode. Tobh clone. Dual coil 28 ga. showing 0.73 on my ohm reader. Wicked with triple boiled organic cotton.

Thank you for the guidance. I was looking into stamps.com for a scale and a online setup. Is this who you used?

Small 15ml sample bottles will still be available. But for really decent pricing I need to add in a 120 ml option. I really dig the 30 ml glass bottles we have but they add useless shipping weight and offer the post man a chance to do damage.

Most likely it will be 120 ml bottles as the best pricing option and folks could purchase an empty glass bottle with or with out droppers if they want one for a fair price. I think most of us have needle bottles and empty glass bottles now though with as far along as vaping has come.

I have to close this thread so I can post up the new flavor.

We can continue the shipping options discussion on text or on the other thread. Thank you for the help Carolina Vapoor! =)

I use paypal because it is pretty much the only payment option ebay allows every since they purchased paypal. You can use it for any online store though, just have to set it up. The buyers do not have to have or setup a PP account in order to pay either. For an online store you would basically use PP as a 3rd party payment processor. The buyer can pay via most common credit cards or use their bank debit cards. However you would have to do your research or contact them to see if they will allow payments for for what you are selling. I know back in 2009 / 2010 accepting payment or paying for anything vape related was strictly prohibited. It was due to the strict regulations in regards to online sales of tobacco products. I am thinking they have changed their guidelines though, because now you can search "MOD" on ebay and get over 200,000 results. Search RDA and you get around 17,000 results. Because they are being sold on ebay they are being paid for via paypal. You can even find e-juice and while most is 0 nic there are plenty that offer it with nicotine. Like I said more than likely you will have to contact them and maybe even get approved or something.

If paypal is a no go then I would just set up an account at usps.com. It is free and you pay and print directly from their site.

Got my order in. I already have a PT3, RDA, and kayfun clone clean, coiled, wicked and ready to go.

So are we looking at a steep time on the beta or has it already been steeping?

Unfortunately I cant use paypal as I was warned vapor stuff is not legal for them. No one is actually allowed to use paypal for anything vape related though I see tons of people get away with it.

I will have to go another avenue as paypal made me remove all my paypal options on my webstore.

The only thing that was steeped was the multiple items we had for use and other local friends to test. I really wanted to tone it up a touch more, but it was getting closer to the time I promised it would be available. You will be able to sample it out of the package but as always, it will get better with some breathing and time. I decided to give out the 25% off since I have even feedback across the board of, just right, a little more, and a little less. I will gather the feedback from you and the other fine forum members who may wish to offer some advice.

I've seen a couple of threads that talked about paypal blacking anything to do with vape and ecig. Was just on a thread and the vendor had their paypal acct shutdown or whatever - now they're trying to figure out how to accept payments. Can't figure why they want to kill off what is probably a sizable number of transactions that would bring them revenue. Guess they figure it might cause bad press if the general public realized they were enabling our so called dirty habit.
Glad that I don't rely on paypal for anything. I usually try to avoid using it unless I absolutely have to.
