Good Morning Army. I disagree that the air today smells worse. Imagine Times Square with dirt roads. Now imagine everyone in NYC riding horses. One might want to be careful crossing the street to avoid the proverbial "Stepping in it" ;). A nice spring rain would only make it "smell fresh outside" if you enjoyed the odor of horse manure.
And in the country ? Does the word "outhouse" conjure an image in your mind ? Trust me, modern septic systems are far superior to "back when".
Only in a large forest or near an ocean will you find fresh air, and even then there are bacteria and particles in the air we breathe. Although it was a lousy movie, 'War of the Worlds' with Tom Cruise had an interesting ending. For all our technology, we were powerless over the invading force. But the invaders died from sickness breathing the air that contained bacteria that we as humans were accustomed to.

And, if I am going to be up this early, I need coffee...

LOL - and let's go back a bit more. Town and city folk would holler "Guardez-lous, just before they tipped their waste from a chamber pot straight out the upstairs window, and directly onto the street, - you better hope you aren't underneath when the shout occurs. And people didn't wash back then as the populated areas' water was so polluted, it could kill you if you had an open wound. On the other hand, I watched one of those PBS/BBC series where the family goes back to the Victorian era and live that way for 6 weeks or 3 months or somethin'; - and one thing they did note was that modern people smell very "chemically" from all the deodrants and detergents we use.

My home village backs onto a working pine forest. And one of my happiest memories was the smell of real pine drifting through on a Sunday evening, along with the smell of honeysuckle in my nan's garden.

Which is why 'Proper Etiquette' states that when a man and woman are walking together down the street, the woman walks closest to the buildings.
No, I am not making this up. Makes proper ladies proud, doesn't it ?

and now its to have the lady away from the buildings... makes it harder for the purse snatcher to jump from between the buildings and get the purse since the guy is in the way...

Meh, I went ahead and made my second order before I received my first...pretty much the same as the first, but I ordered 18ml bottles instead of 6ml, which I should have done from the start for only $3 more :unsure: Also, added a bottle of cocoa.

actually, 30ml is considered the "trial size" by some of these maniacs...

I call that smart. You can't know if you will like a liquid, no matter how many people do.

Smarter that you are ordering larger sizes of what you do know you like. :D


When you start ordering them in 100ml, then you know you are hooked ;)


vape Mail headed my way! 5 - 100ml bottles of Dragon's Fire


Yep! I'm hooked :banana: :laugh:

Oh well. Live and learn. You'll like the cocoa alone or as a mixer.

I forgot to say I also got a sample of chocolate orange with my order. Not sure I'm going to try it. The idea of those two together just doesn't sound right to me.o_O
Come on David! Give it a shot. MP liked choco/orange. What does it cost you...a wick?

Nice finish to the race. Matt could have done a better job blocking out Hamlin.

I may get brave at some point. But orange and chocolate?

Yes Matt lost it there. I was hoping Truex would hold Hamlin off. But all and all it was a good race.

Actually though, I don't know that I like the juices yet, but with Bronze's help and reading over the flavors I picked a few that I have the best chance to like. I would really hate it if I liked one or more of the juices, then ran out due to the size of the bottles, then had to do the whole order, wait a week and a half for delivery, then 2 more weeks of steeping...

As was mentioned earlier, trying a vendor change is a pain. Without a doubt I will be wasting some money on flavors I don't like...I'll consider myself lucky if I like 2 of the 5 I ordered, and downright ecstatic if I stumble on to a new ADV. The lack of D/AP testing bothers me a bit though. I get that HHV says that the flavorings they use are DA/AP free, but I'm guessing that they are just taking the flavor manufacturers word for it. The Vaporshark episode tells us that it is entirely possible for an eliquid vendor to *think* that they are DA/AP free, but turn out to be chock full of the stuff.

I'm not trying to start a diacetyl war here at all, I just want the best info to make the best buying decisions.
