Annette - glad you are liking your KGO:) Larkfour I agree with Joanr's advice on the Kona for the morning. Once you have been away from that morning ciggy for awhile you won't believe it was the hardest to give up. One thing that really helped me was converting in the winter months. When there was snow up to my nose and it was below zero it wasn't much of a choice between vaping inside or going outside for the stinky:vapor:
Eleanor I can't believe you have the will power to wait an entire week:blink: Make sure you keep your evening open next Thursday so you can relax and enjoy your new treats...

I know what you mean about tea-based juices, Allen. As a coffee lover, I never would have thought that I'd use tea as my primary base flav. But through a lot of trial and error, I've found that a good black or green tea provides a wonderfully smooth lower end when mixed with something light and fresh, like pure menth... or yes, lemon. I've even found that various berry flavs blend nicely with tea. I'm just glad Annette's now working her magic on the new tea(s). Eventually, I'm sure I'll be a fan.

Hi Jeffree, hope you are doing well!:)

Joanr...I know what you mean about the ECO liquids. If you haven't tried the Velvet yet you will love it. I have compiled quite a stash and am having fun using my pillow dreams, vanilla mint and mint tingle to mix with other flavors. I will be buying larger bottles of them soon.

Okay..so what does everyone do with their empty bottles. I want to keep some for mixing my own creations but they build up quickly. Is there a way they can be sterlized and recycled? Or do I just need to pitch a few along the way?

I noticed another "juicer" offers a tea blend, specifically "Arnold Palmer".

I have to confess, I have been a big fan of an "Arnold Palmer" since I was VERY young- 1/2 strong sweet tea and 1/2 lemonade. I am amazed that so few know what that is, but I did grow up minutes from the Augusta National golf course and it was a routine staple in most restaurants and pro-shops!

I would submit that a great sweet-tea/lemonade mix would be incredible! I have yet to order from the others since I have such fond memories of an ice-cold "Arnie".

Respectfully submitting the suggestion for a lemon-tea blend; it is soooo nice to relax with! I say that, obliged to add that a traditional Arnie is even better with a splash of Absolut Citron!

Yes, YMMV!

I'm on it, Allen_B! I think that's going to be a delicious combination! I love Arnold Palmer's too, by the way!

Hi Jeffree! I've already had some requests for fruit tea blends, so I'll be working toward a peach tea or raspberry tea flavor too. I've also been working on some house extracted organic tea flavors that are turning out amazing. Hopefully I'll have some delicious tea flavors out for you soon! So nice to see you and I hope you are well!

Oooohhh... Peach tea sounds pretty darn good too! I know GA is supposedly the "Peach State" but I spent a few summers picking peaches in Edgefield County in South Carolina as a kid; we know a thing or two about peaches in the Palmetto State too!!

On the tea note, I'll offer to be the sacrificial tester of any "Arnie" blends!! ;) :vapor:

Respectfully,

Allen

...as per my own strict orders, into the pantry they went for a week!

Asking if a bit of steep time is a personal preference or a good rule-of-thumb, specifically for VV offerings?

Still learning and I understand that some blends and brands "behave" and benefit from steeping differently...

Thanks!

Allen, I find that most of Annette's liquids (KCM, especially) are amazing right out of the mailbox...and they simply get better with age. :)

OK, Allen, you'll be my official Arnold Palmer flavor tester! Next time you place an order, put a note for me to remind me to send you the first test bottle for feedback!

I'm sure some others will chime in too, but check out my blog post on steeping here:

It really is a personal preference so go with what you like!

So nice to see you and I hope you are well!

Thanks, Annette. The same to you and yours. I just have to mention one more thing since I don't get by regularly: you have one of the warmest and most enthusiastic forums I've seen at ECF. What a great group of folks here--and that includes your own tireless interaction and support. Bravo!

Mornin' Virgin Vapoheads! TGIF indeed. Stupid banks are closed today, can't deposit my check until Monday. No VV orders for me until Tuesday :( Cuz I'm going to get another big bottle of illegal juice, half bottle of Bella Amaretto (this stuff is heaven, folks), Buttercream Mint and Vanilla Mint to mix with a little Mint Tingle. My paycheck is burning a hole in my pocket and I don't even have it yet! :)

OK, Sweet Tea. Not my fave. It does have some lemon in it and I don't care for lemon in my tea (diehard redneck, I guess), and it kinda overpowers the tea flavor to me. It kind of tastes like Nestea bottled tea w/lemon. BUT THAT'S JUST ME and I bet lots of you would like it much better than I do. You know I adore Annette and her mixing skillz!

The Mint Chocolate Chip on the other hand...ooooh, I hadn't tried it before, I got it as part of my prize sampler and it's wonderful. It's wonderful on it's own, but guess what I'm going to do to make it even more wonderful. Go ahead, guess. :)

You're probably going to mix it with some illegal juice :)

I accidentally refilled an illegal juice cart w/ black cherry marshmallow. I know, sounds bad, but actually the combo isn't horrible, although it'll never make my favorites list.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner :)

I'll vape some of it on its own and mix the rest with some illegal juice. That's what *I* do with my empty VV bottles :) but I do have a collection of empties in a kitchen drawer.

Happy Friday and Veteran's Day everyone! No juice for me yesterday, maybe tomorrow. :(
Looks like we're in the same boat. When I ordered Sun, I forgot that today would be a Fed holiday; now I'm hopeful for tomorrow, as well. Did my eyes deceive me, or was Annette posting about getting the site set up so that we have access to our tracking numbers? That would be great! Hey, everyone!
