Do I dare ask how?

3ml sliptip syringe (not the luer lok kind). madvapes sells them for .69 I think. You can probably buy a big box on Amazon dirt cheap per unit, but you have to make sure they're the right ones. I think Becton-Dickinson is the the right brand. Some of the other brands might not fit. I know the ones madvapes sell work.

Get a small tube cutter from a hardware store, cut the syringe to the right length with it. You'll have a new, virtually indestructible replacement tube. I got pretty good at this with my old CE2s. The tube was always the first thing to go, they were crappy.

The syringes that come in a box of CE3s would work except 2.5ml isn't long enough (you need some spare room for the tube cutter to go on there).

Tried Gandalf for the first time last week. Consider me sold! I ordered a sample pack of Dark Horse, Dragon's Fire, Huntsman, and Vapin' Chimp. The Vapin' Chimp was good right out of the mail. Really liked it, and all my worst fears about a banana flavored juice were thankfully not realized. Definitely more banana, very light on the tobacco, but I really like it. I can see this being a flavor that I could do once a week or something.

Gandalf was in a sample. First night it really had a strong cocoa taste to me. Thanks to all of your posts here and elsewhere, I let it steep for a week. Wow! Love it. Slight cocoa, a little grassy, just wonderful.

I so regretted only having the 3ml bottle. Just got my 30ml yesterday, and will let it steep before I try anymore (yes, I couldn't help myself and am vaping it right now). It's even different then my sample was at first, so I'm going to just wait before I try it again.

I'll probably wait a few days before I dip into the other tobaccos. I'll let you know what I think of the other 3.

I tried the HT as well, haven't gone back to it since letting it steep. Maybe I'll try it again later.

Off tobacco, I also tried their Bah-In (after a week of steeping, I'm loving this), MJS, apple butter rum cake, and blueberry muffin. So far the only ones I didn't like were the MJS and butter rum cake. I am still steeping the ABRC, so hopefully that mellows out a little. The MJS is not terrible, but I'm getting a burnt popcorn taste that I just can't get used to. The ABRC? There was something about it that just turned me off. Hopefully that can change with steeping. Really, it's the only one I haven't been able to vape (so far), and unlike some other vendors, I'm impressed with the quality.

Consider me sold on HHV. I just got an order yesterday (the sample of tobaccos) and ordered a big bottle of Vapin' Chimp right before I went to bed. I think I may have a problem...:unsure:

So you're just one more sucker heaped on the HHV sucker pile (just like the rest of us). Welcome. It's the best sucker pile to be in. Look at Post #860 on page 86 for steeping info.

I wonder how much business HHV has gotten out of this thread. Bronze should get a medal. :p

Cool! Love these grease monkey solutions. Got to keep reminding myself they cost only $2!!! :)

They're going to be expanding pretty soon. However Heather is what we're all about here, so back on topic. Do you know I have about 5 HHV's I haven't tried yet because I'm still wading through a bunch of others. Even my Gandalf turned deep chocolate brown. Yum

Ley me guess....someone walked by NLV and saw a light flick on and off?

You know, I just yanked out the ole calipers and measured the syringe and CE3 tube. The ID's are dead nuts! And the usuable length of the syringe is a hair longer than the CE3 tube. If I can figure out a way to cut that plastic, I'd have me a new tube (like you say). The length doesn't have to be exact as there is a little play room with that silicone seal in there. Can't say that about the ID though because of that metal base. Hey, desperate times call for desperate measures. Might come in handy some day (as long as I have another backup syringe).

Well, I gave up some time back trying to order from them. I decided to give them another shot recently. I stalked their website and their ECF thread for at least a month, and they were never ever taking orders. Finally they opened up for 130ml jugs only. That's been going on for at least 2 weeks. I'm not buying 130ml of a juice I've never tried. I guess his repeat business is keeping him going, but it just isn't worth it to me. There's just too much good juice out there to have to go to that much trouble.

And now I've said my peace. ;)

My vaper buddy at work (who was the one that turned me onto this idea in the first place) heats an exacto knife up with a lighter and then cuts them with that. Crude, but it works. The tube cutter was my idea.

Unfortunately they were all set to go live the very next day, and their credit card gateway processor pulled the plug on them and while they were in the midst of moving to expand as I understand it. So they've been offering the jugs for the disciples via money order or cashiers check till they get that sorted out. Normally they go live towards the end of the month. I'll give you a shout next time they're up then if you're still up for it, you can give them a try.

It's probably just jealousy on my part rearing its ugly head. :)

I couldn't imagine ordering a small bottle from them and loving it to death and then have to wait another six months to be able to reorder. Not anymore than ordering a vat and hating it. Must be nice to be able to make a business off their model. I think they'd do better selling the recipe to someone who is open all the time and collecting goodwill royalties. But, what do I know?
