Just wanted to let everyone, and especially Geoff, know that I've come to take TV for granted.

I've gotten to the point where I assume my juice will be in my mailbox 2 days after placing an order, and it's always there (all the way across the country, mind you).

I've gotten to the point where I know my juice will be better than any other I would buy (not that I buy others, but I have in the past), and it always is.


So basically, I just wanted to take a minute to let Geoff and the rest of the TV staff know that even if you're not getting constant compliments on your service and juice, we all feel the same way. You guys are the absolute best in the business in every aspect, and we appreciate what you do.

You, with your two day shipping in the U.S have been spoiled. It takes an order exactly 7 business days to get to me in Canada, PLUS weekends. So in all, it reaches me on the 10th day after it has shipped. The only good thing about it is that most juices are nicely "steeped" as soon as they arrive. The extra steep time I put them through, is just to make me want them even more..

I got Geoff on the live chat yesterday, and he greeted me like I was Mr. Gates or the President!! "DUSTY.. what's up man?!" Now, that is customer service for you.

TV will always be number one for me. I have caught myself many a time filling shopping carts with a couple of popular juices from different well known vendors and I always back out at the last second. Enjoying TV too much at this time to try and mess with the mojo. :)

Keep up the good work, Geoff and gang!

I've never ordered from TV, I like sweet stuff like butterscotch and vanilla, do their flavors have really good TH? I'm struggling to find very good TH...

Well, get started Dawn, you will not regret it but, but, BUT, be prepared to get hooked on TV.

Start with some of their more popular flavours like Waffles or Bananas Foster or TastyFinger (ask for the "new" double chocolate flavour with this). If you like Chunky Monkey Icecream go for the Chocolate/Banana/Walnut (ditto on the double chocolate).

Throat Hit (TH), sigh... so subjective. Referred to as the Holy Grail in vaping. It comes in so many shapes and forms, and can change from juice to juice. Some of TV's juices that have this in spades would be Atomic Cinnacide and Geoffs Blend but you have to like cinnamon for both those juices. I would also assume (have not tried it) that their Citrus-y juices might also carry higher TH.

What Nic strength do you vape at? I switched to zero nic a couple of weeks ago and sadly just today gave up and have placed an order of nic juice because I just did not get the satisfaction (read TH) from the zero nic juices. I believe that the nic is another component that contributes to good TH.

Best of luck, and happy vaping!

Thanks for the info, Dusty! I am at 24 mg nic right now, but I would like to slowly decrease that at some point...Just not today....Or tomorrow! Haha However, many people say I should have TH with anything at that strength of nic, but I don't...I find it difficult to get satisfactory TH with almost anything I have bought thus far. DeKang gives me the TH I like but I've been getting a perfume flavor from their juices lately. I don't want to sacrifice flavor for TH, or vice versa...<sigh> I do like cinnamon, but would the Atomic Cinnicide or Geoff's blend taste more like cinnamon spice or Big Red Gum? I don't really like the spice, but I do like the gum! I'm just all around hard to please, I guess!

Atomic Cinnacide is like the red hot gum, it's not a hot spice in itself, more on the hot and sweet side. Geoff's Blend is a combination of 3 or more of TV's juices. Atomic Cinnacide, Banana Nut Bread and Butter Rum, I believe. Very good, very complex blend. You can't go wrong with either of them. There are a lot of TV followers that have one of these two as their all day vapes.

I would have also thought that at 24mg, the Throat Hit would be intense unless you are using a 70% or higher VG ratio which could bring the TH level down.

I'm picky about my juices too, and it's partially why I only use TV for my juices. After having sampled more than my fair share of juices from different vendors at local meets, I know why I stick with TV as my only vendor. :)

I prefer not to buy from TV for exactly the opposite reason.

I'm not a huge fan of TH personally. I prefer to take long inhales rather than short hits like I did with analogs.

Even flavors I didn't expect to have TH would be to harsh for me. Imagine coughing on a Butterfinger!

It's not a criticism, just a preference. I found that TV juices were too harsh in comparison to other vendors. If you're not finding what you want, give TV a go!

AC is designed to taste like Atomic Fireball candy. If you've had one of those, the flavor is almost spot on. The outside of the candy is spiced and a little hot. The inside is sweet like a jawbreaker.

The sweetness really comes through in Atomic Cinnicide. Big Red is more "intense fake cinnamon" and Atomic Cinnicide is more "intense fake cinnamon plus sweet". Both are awesome flavors, but I wouldn't personally compare them to each other. I'm kind of a cinnamon snob.

I'm curious why you choose to participate in this forum if you are neither a prospective TV customer or current one, and seem to have no questions about TV products... :?:

In any event, one of the great things about TV is the ability to custom order your juice. If you order a higher percentage of VG, the TH will be reduced. Others like more TH and order 100% PG. I like a good balance, so I order 20% PG.

Well, Geoff & Co. are getting even more aggressive with customer service, much to their competitor's dismay. My order of Chocolate/Banana/Walnut juice, custom mixed with Perfumer's Apprentice double chocolate, was mixed and shipped just a few hours after I placed the order!

Now it will have plenty of time to steep before my Philippines trip in 2 weeks. I'll need plenty of juice for my 27-hour plane flights (each way) and 3 weeks in a small town in hills of Mindanao, where no one has ever seen or heard of an e-cig.

Kevin, thanks for the info, I'm even more inclined to try them since you say the TH is almost harsh, that's basically what I'm looking for since everything else seems too mild for me. I've had Atomic Fireballs before and like them, I also like all sweet flavors, so that sounds like it might be right up my alley. Thanks again!
