Juice FAIL - Laugh at my misfortune

[nunya]

Bought juice at mall out of desperation. It's VG - I seem to be allergic to the PG and the VG I bought won't be here till next week. I was eying my lighter.

So I bought 10mls at the kiosk in the mall. $15 plus tax. Not only was it outrageously expensive, - it doesn't seem to heat up as much as PG and best of all, it tastes like cough syrup. No. Not cough syrup - more like the aftertaste from it, the kind that gives you the shivers? Yeah, that's it.

So PLEASE tell me all VG juices aren't God-awful. Tell me this is an isolated incident.

Isolated incident. I'm sure you will be pleased with your order when it arrives.

If you ever run into desperation and everybody is not in Virginia, vaperite in woodstock usually can have a juice order ready the same day or next day and then you can zip over an pick it up. He caries allot of his stuff in vg, pg, 50/50 vg/pg and 70/30 pg/vg. If you were not affected by pg I would recommend picking up a cheap bottle of the clearance china juice from him as a back up.

+1 for a bottle of juice hidden away in a cool dark place ico an unexpected calamity

When I got started a month and a half ago, my friend gave me about 10ml of juice. I tried to budget it out, but due to playing with some things and what not I ran through it pretty fast and found myself panicking at not having anything to vape tilll a mail shipment came in. Luckily I found a great local supplier that has been greatly helpful and informative and lets you pick it up instead of waiting for the postman.

@Chatter - I called Todd at Vaperite and left a message. I would have gladly driven up to Woodstock! I have some samplers coming from Virgin Vapor, but I think Annette is at VCon and I don't expect to get my order till next week sometime.

@Thomas - There are direwolves south of the wall!

@Boodle - Thanks for chiming in. Do you find that VGs warm up as well as PGs? What equipment do you use? I use KR808s. Yeah, newb equipment.

My wife prefers VG, little too thick for me, I prefer 70/30. Todd is at vapor con as well. It probably would be a bad weekend to run out. Most of the places I order from have shut down and Todd is not filling orders till he gets back. Usually if you go to his site and place the order there is a radio button for local pickup. He will then call or email you when it is ready for pickup. I usually call and let them know when I will be stopping by. I go there now almost every week to every other week. Ask to try the Hibiscus or VR4, both are awesome.

Well you can pray it will get better in time.. But yuck... That stuff sounds like it was handled poorly before you bought it. Not speaking for boodle but in my experience I typically don't use VG straight up.I did once because I accidently bought a juice high in VG, it seemed super thick. It seemed to heat up the same as other juices. Maybe took a moment longer to get it going but faired the same. A little harder to pull it seemed like sometimes. I use an eGo and go by the rule of not using high VG myself as it can be tough on my 510 equipment for whatever reason. I'd just like to keep my attys working as long as possible so i stick to the rule.

Will do. Have you ever tried Virgin Vapor? I don't know if I'll be able to tolerate a 70/30 vg to pg - I plan to go all vg and reintroduce pg in small quantities. I wish there weren't so many variables! I just want to vape!

 

[chatter97]

No, pretty much vaperite, awesome vapor and halo. At vaperite I fell in love with his tobacco flavors and have not gone beyond that. Do have an order from Ms. T's bakery coming in with Snickerdoodle tomorrow though.

Allot places use a small amount of pg in their vg juices to reduce the syrupy nature of vg juices, like maybe 2% so that is a great place to start. I think Todd might add a little in his VG, should be on the site. Find a flavor you love and then use that as your base, then start exploring flavors. I rotate 5-6 different flavors through out the day as per my mood.

Do you like tobacco vapes, or fruity flavors? My wife love fruits and sweets, i vape primarily tobaccos. This first little while is very much trial and error and can be costly, I burnt through many atomizers, bought allot of different carts and cartos just trying to figure what worked for me. So just keep trying and always look for sample packs, they are a great way to discover and try flavors without getting stuck with a 18ml bottle of something you dont like. Todd includes one in every juice order so you get an 18 and a 3 to try flavor.

Yeah, I was rockin the PG, but my allergy made that impossible without swelling and itching, which is VERY attractive.

Long time ago, I ran out of juice and all I had was Bannana..

I think the phrase you are looking for is "I got hosed at the mall".

My favorite juice is Boba's Bounty, made by Alien Visions. I also like their C&D. They don't even make those with PG - if you want them, you have to get all VG.

VG is thick, but I'm pretty sure they water it down with distilled water or something, because their juice isn't nearly as thick as plain VG.

Yeah. But I was a willing victim. (I asked for it?) Anyway, it was worth a shot. Maybe I'll just put Benedryl in my blanks with PG. KIDDING. I KEED I KEED

Since I started vaping it seems like that is some pretty popular stuff.

Chatter - were you a smoker? Today is 25 days since I smoked. Whoot!

Boba's Bounty? I may have to try it just for the geek factor. I have a friend who has over 47 tattoos - the majority are Star Wars themed.

 

[chatter97]

Heavy for over 12 years. I think at Dragon Con I finished off 5 packs in 3 days possibly more.Its been 45 days for me. My friend gave me a kit during dragon con and I was hooked. Figured I would slowly ween myself off of analogs, but by the 3rd day it just did not taste as good or as satisfying. I still have my last pack of unopened cigs on my desk and I have no urge to open them. They sit there and I laugh at them.

Oh, is that from Star Wars?







Just kidding.
