You sound like you are having tons of fun there :) I've always used my boge cartomizes for one flavor only and thrown them out when they quit working. Couldn't imagine the amount of cleaning you'd have to do to test all those flavors :D
I use my 510, 510 atty and my anodized aluminum drip tip. Very easy to taste flavors and I can just use my 99 percent iso alc to clean the drip tip and atty, rinse with water, dry burn and go onto testing the next. It takes me like 3 minutes to clean it. Works well!

Question for those that have been delayed shipment, did you get any notification?

I've got some hardware on order, it's been 2 weeks now. No news, nothing. Meanwhile, juice that was ordered a week after arrived yesterday. Guess I'm getting a little impatient here.
Do you have a tracking number? If you have a tracking number and your shipment says it has been delivered to somewhere in Canada at the border and it still says its customs, then it is probably being searched. If it says its in customs after 2 weeks, you bet it's being searched! They will then give you a little blurb that the possibilty it is being searched is happening. You may or may not get your stuff.

It's an "LN" tracking number. The only thing it says is "shipping info received" and then "shipment accepted". As stated, this was two weeks ago.

The previously delivered shipments were "LJ" and all they ever said was "shipping" (paraphrasing). Never had any further tracking on it.

GRRRRRRRRRRR, I just want my stuff. Is it too much to ask? Perhaps it's because it looks like a pipe bomb?

One of my orders just came in after 3 tense weeks of waiting!

Here's hoping you have the same kind of luck!

Cheers!
I have an order from the states that I ordered back in April. UGH the wait is KILLING ME! Glad yours came in Chinner!!! Looks like the border is opening up again! Maybe they heard we are after them and got scared to seize anything! We can only hope!!

What program are you using to track your package? When I look mine up in the Chinese mail system, all it says is departed China, but when I track it from the Canada Post website, it says that it is being reviewed by customs in Vancouver. I don't believe it will get scanned anywhere between the country of origin and canada customs, so I usually just wait for mine to show up in the CP system.

He probably extracts em himself. Maybe throw a bunch of winston tobacco in a tea strainer and steep it in x% mg nic pg/vg for a week or 2? Might have to try an experiment when I have supplies to spare.

Doesn't doing extractions from tobacco defeat the entire purpose of using an e-cigarette? If you perform a tobacco extraction in an @home manner, id find it utterly impossible to believe you would be able to remove much of the poisons, unless you have a liquid chromotography setup and half a decade of chemistry experience.

So ultimately you would just end up vaping tobacco extract (and within it, much of the 2000 chemicals you DONT want), which defeats the entire purpose of vaping.....

If your going to rebuttle this by saying "no theyre only extracting the nicotine and tobacco flavors", I say bologne, do you know how hard it is to extract a specific collection of molecules from a composition containing over 2,000 different molecules with different physical properties? If you don't have cutting edge chromotography equipment and a huge resevoir of knowledge of chemistry and a merck index the size of your mattress, I just don't see how its possible.

Maybe if tobacco had 3 chemicals, and you wanted to extract 1, then maybe you could do it, but tobacco is an extremely complex chemical composition. Id be extremely weary of any @home tobacco extract, as its likely just as bad as the real thing which defeats (most) of the entire purpose for using an e-cigarette.

Price is my main reason for switching tbh.

Nice to not be giving off second hand smoke to my friends and family as well second hand vape is probably much better for them, hell they don't even know if they don't see it.

Feeling better in general is a nice bonus too.


Well I guess that comes down to your personal reasons for using, I was under the assumption most people used e-cigs for the number 1 reason being because they don't want to die or become horribly debilitated as a result of smoking, but apparently there are some who just want to use them as a cheaper way to die. Not really trying to break your balls or anything Chime!! Just saying :p

Lol thx different strokes for different folks.

It's like Dennis Leary says, smoking may take 10 years off your life but those are the diaper years where you don't know where the hell you are most of the time anyways.

But if anyone knows a good pipe baccy that's something like sportsman or winston I'm game.
