I keep promising myself I will stop buying juice.

I won a bottle of Hulabaloo from Giant Vapes. It was outside the flavor profile I would normally order (I have hated almost every chocolate vape I've tried), but wow is it good! It tastes just like a york peppermint patty with a hint of raspberry sauce! Soooooo good!

I wasn't a chocolate vaper until I received a free sample of AiV's Black and White Cookie. Simply amazing. You should give it a try!

Try DIY and then you'll have to order only flavors, NIC and PG/VG base liquids
- 6-8 times cheaper than buying juice
- The juice will not go bad as quickly (the bases, the NIC and the flavors can be stored for quite a while without degradation on their own)
- You can experiment by creating your own flavors - mix yourself a batch of 5 ml of juice - if it's crap, throw it away, if it's good mix more - sure beats throwing away a bottle of 30 ml because you did not like it.

And you can usually get just the flavors of your favorite juices from the same vendors.

Maybe I should re-try it now in a RDA, when I put it into a protank, I liked maybe 2-3 puffs of B&W Cookie and then it was just "too much" to me, and I didn't want anymore. I dumped my tank, washed my tank and coil and still couldn't get rid of the taste. Even after soaking in vodka everything still tasted like B&W cookie to me. I couldn't seem to get rid of the taste and suddenly HATED it! I may try it again now that we have a good RDA.

Honestly, it is a wonderful juice, but it is SUPER sweet with the chocolate and all. This is not an all day vape for me, but rather a special treat I have here and there throughout the day. And sometimes I have it with coffee on the weekends when sitting at home. It's one of those juices I will always have a bottle of, but won't panic if I get low. Know what I mean? Kind of like having oreo cookies in the house. You don't really need them, but they are great to have around for that sweet tooth. When you run out, you are not likely to run to the store right away to replenish your stash.

Unless you really really love Oreo's. But you get what I mean. :)

Funny…I was so earning my membership in the juice ho club, and then I realized today that I haven't ordered anything new in about two weeks. My credit card is happy to have a rest, I guess, but I may start to panic if I don't hit a 'submit order' button soon.

Yeah...with the exception of my Alice order last week, I haven't gone crazy the past couple of weeks. But soon....


Seriously though. I think I am going to order me some more Gorilla Juice from AVE. It's really thick so I can only get the maximum performance out of it using a dripping atty, but it's been my evening vape while at home after work. I've dripped almost the whole 6ml bottle.
Only thing I don't like about AVE is their shipping cost. It's almost $5 just to ship one small bottle of something. They have no active discounts at this time. Maybe they will have something in a few days.

Oh oh! And AiV just shipped my order yesterday. I'm waiting for "Ginger by the Sea" and "Bandersnatch". They are both new juices to me and I can't wait to try them. I will be sure to share my thoughts on this thread for all the other hos! HAHAHA!

So many choices!! What happened to having FOUR flavors and teabag modding our 510 e-cigs??



Woody[/QUOTE]

Dear lord...I think about that often!! Still drink the Lipton Pyramid tea bags some times, remember well emptying them to stuff the bags into little tiny tubes...small wonder I eventually failed at vaping the first time!!! :blink:

Finally broke down today & lost my Velvet Cloud virginity..


First order of 2014! :banana:

I'd love to hear what you ordered and how you like it. I have really mixed feelings about VCV…Ordered a lot from them around Black Friday and really enjoyed a few of the flavors I chose (NIght Shift, Campfire and Nutty Cookie), but found some of them were really similar in flavor and some, like vanilla custard, almost flavorless. I was planning to order more (fruits and tobaccos this time) but had a few questions and sent 2 or 3 emails to them, but never got a reply. That turned me off to them and I haven't ordered again. I really wanted to love them, partly because they are all natural and 100% VG…but also because I love the drawing on the website. Yes, I'm a sucker for stuff like that!!

Yup. Thought of doing that myself. Too lazy though.
Decided to break my two week dry spell and placed an order with Ahlusion just now. Will report back when they arrive.

I got 4 of the 7 orders of juice I have in the mail yesterday. Have a couple of bottles steeping, but I'm kinda liking AVE. Tried Boba's and it's not bad, their Irish Cream is really good, tastes like Bailey's hehe. PG Hype is pretty nice, peaches and melon and that's pretty much what it tastes like. Only one I don't care for that I've tried from them is the PG Apple Teaser. My first thought upon trying it was this will probably be pretty good with a 2 week steep so in the steep cupboard it went!

I ordered 2 small bottles from the Vapor Chef to give them a try, and even with just the 2 6ml bottles they gave me another 6ml sample :). I was happy because it was Hobbes' Blood the one I was debating on getting. These I will probably sample today, kinda excited.

I also got a few bottles from Nicoticket. I really like his Betelgeuse, one of my favorite fruit vapes so that was a re-order. Got a bottle of Be Mine, which is steeping and also was intrigued by one of his flavors that's not always available so I ordered a create your own, Strawberries, blueberries and cream which I'm drooling over but I'm letting that steep for a couple weeks or so before I try it. I've tried most of Nicotickets flavors and I really enjoy them.

My last bit of vapemail was a re-order from last months Zamplebox. 503's Pomegranate in higher nicotine. I love pomegranate and was pleasantly surprised that theirs didn't have to sharp a bite to it like pomegranate can have sometimes, I found it a nice smooth vape with plenty of vapor :).

Today I should be getting my Zamplebox hopefully, but then I've said that the last couple of days :(. I'm one of the people that didn't get a tracking number, just 2 emails from Tony saying it was shipped. I also made an order from Johnson's Creek, which should also be here today. Would have been here yesterday but USPS accidentally routed it to the other side of the Bay lol. I also ordered 2 tobacco types from Seattle Vapor Co. which I kinda stumbled upon from Google. Not sure when they will be here.

As you might tell I thoroughly enjoy fruit vapes hehe. I've tried bakery deserts from various places and none of them really did it for me. If found the flavors too heavy.

And I just remembered I had posted about my dilemma a few days ago. For several days absolutely -nothing- sounded good. Not even my favorite flavors and I tried all of them! It actually got to the point where I simply didn't want to vape. It was weird, I would walk into my room where my desk and mods are and it smelled great, but the though of picking up one of my mods didn't appeal to me in the least. A couple of evenings ago after dinner I was sipping on my soda. The more I sipped the more vaping started to appeal to me. I finally realized I had drank maybe a total of 2 bottles of water over the past week. I kinda berated myself because I've been told many times to keep hydrated when you vape. Downed 2 bottles of water and have had a bottle at my desk since and I'm a happy vapor again ;). Guess my body was telling me to drink more water.

Apparently some of theirs can take up to a few weeks to steep

I've heard that, too.. that some share some similar flavorings

Which is why I got a small mix of fruit, dessert & tobacco

My answer is in an ongoing VCV thread... http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...66486-velvet-cloud-vapor-29.html#post11887551

Maybe you could post your concerns there? Lots of experienced customers there.. :)

Just placed an order of Gorilla Juice from AVE. I did reign myself in and only bought the 18ml bottle. Not the 100ml. :)

Got my bandersnatch from AiV in the mail today. Right now it's "so-so". Going to let this one steep and hope the banana comes out more. Getting ready to try Ginger by the Sea.....

Hey fellow juice whores...
I have succumbed and joined the Pay if Forward forum. And I am pimping my juices out to the world for a trade. If this isn't juice whoring, I don't know what is.

Here is a link to that thread if anyone wants to join. My post is on the last page. Maybe I'll see some of you guys there...I know you all have just as much juice sitting around as I do since none of us can stop buying. Hopefully this will be a way to allow many of us to try new juices without continuing to break our wallets.....

I don't know where "Anytown" is but I live in Arizona where the purchase of tobacco products across state lines is prohibited. I expect that to include vape products, including zero nic premixes, any time so I'm chasing juice that tastes like my three ADVs I'm currently purchasing out-of-state. So, I'm back to square one just like when I was a noob spending way too much on local juices that don't fit the bill.

I live in KY. Not allowed to buy tobacco OR vape products anywhere but AZ? That is CRAZY! What kind of communism is this?
