Hi:

I'm up for now but it won't be long. That rain & thunderstorm we had last night through this morning has knocked me for a loop or rather my human barometer connected to the joints and etc... anyhow.

I did want to say that the Warm Sugar Cookie flavor is great tasting if anyone is interested, as is the Buttercream icing. The only thing I'd change (personal preferences here... so bear that in mind) is a change in the VG/PG mix. A PG 85% and VG at approx 15% works better for me without clogging up my atomizers. I tried to mix the last bit of Sugar Cookie and Buttercream down w/PG to give it a more liquidy feel to it but I lost the flavoring in the process.

I normally order e-liquids with extra flavoring (not enough to ruin the flavor but enough to put the 'wow' in it), VG at 15% or there approx w/o ruining the flavor, and nic levels between 24mg & 36mg of nicotine. I'm finding I feel better with a higher nicotine level these days although I'm not 100% sure why but I have my guesses.

It's my belief that the craving/need for higher nicotine amts has to do with the weather shifts going between cold, warm, hot, and then cold again. There is also the tremendous amount of stress I'm under with my husband's health and doing all I can to keep his stress levels down, which are making mine even higher by doing so; and there is the fears I carry with me as I undergo each test and multitude of doctor visits and surgeries that can't seem to give me straight answers with regards to a specific aspect of my health, ie: whether or not I will be fighting breast cancer...

Unlike most teens back in my day, I didn't start smoking to feel cool or like a grown up. I was literally living in hell. I had an alcoholic abusive birth father who was always angry with my mother yet she worked 2nd/3rd shifts back-to-back to avoid him so he took that anger out on me; then there is the fact that it was never any secret he wanted a son vs a daughter and instead, he got the daughter first and by the time they had a son, there was no clear cut answer as to whether or not said son was his birth son or the son of Mother's former husband. Later they did the adoption thing without notifying the possible birth father by using the newspaper ads in areas known that he would not be reading and none in the state where he lived. So, with the abuse aimed in my direction 99.9% of the time, I sought relief and found it in smoking and in drinking. It was how I was able to calm my nerves (ie cigarettes) and then numb myself to the hell that surrounded me day in and day out (ie the alcohol along with a big of substance abuse though not enough to cause an addiction. My general drug of choice as I grew older was speed and that was to make sure I was awake and able to work so many hours at 2 & 3 jobs before losing so much sight I wasn't able to drive, then diminished to prevent reading text books, and finally, all that remained was light/dark with the occasional silhouette on good days but even then it wasn't clear enough to identify the person before me)

I'm in a high-stress time in my life so the higher nicotine amounts are working just as well in the e-cigs as they did with the tobacco cigs; it keeps my nerves calm enough so I don't have to rely on prescription medication unless I feel hives coming on. Yep, I break out in hives when I'm severely stressed out so I do what I can to prevent that from occurring.

So if anyone wants recommendations from Kick Bass' inventory, I can surely recommend the Warm Sugar Cookie and the Buttercream flavors. It works as a great vape but also a nice way to satisfy a sweet tooth without the cavities from the sugar. LOL!

I just checked on my very first order with KBV and surprise - tracking says my post office expects to deliver it today. Usually tracking updates after I receive a package. lol So, I've got one eye turned to the window waiting for carrier to show. I feel like that woman in the old commercial with her face to the storefront glass....open, open, open. :)

"waves back at boB & yssiM, and all them great Hidey Holers" How is everyone's day so far? Just popping in to see if there is anything new going on.

Paise, I too am blind as well. Totally blind in the right eye and totally deaf in the left ear. Before 1991, my vision in my good eye was 200/20. So I know what you are feeling. I finally was lucky to have cataract eye surgery at age 35. I finally learned to drive at age 37. It was my dream. I got tired of depending on others to go here and there. My prayers ae with you. I loved your story about your daughter's wonderful wedding day.

Have a super day Hidey Holers,

boB and yssiM, you guys rock! I let my juices steep (born 3/19) and tried them again today. WOW! OMG and Special K are awesome. Incoming order for BIG bottles. Do you make these two by the bucket by any chance?:laugh:

I'll be on the lookout and we'll get your place in line marked prior to the launching which I just heard isn't far off :) We can have you out Monday as it stands RIGHT NOW. Buckets and 55 gallon drums a lot of people have joked about but once things get calmed down after the store opening we will offer 4 ounce bottles at some point.

Inventory will be set low when the site launches, I will monitor that very close, if something shows out of stock there's a good chance I just set the stock levels low and will get a notification and can immediately insert more. So if something shows out of stock and you want to order hold off and use the "notify me" button and most likely there's more available and will be inserted within an hour.

We will move to a 4 day turn around initially but I don't see needing it in most cases. I just want to get a feel for things and all the features with the new store will allow us to nearly double mixing capacity. I do anticipate playing catch up to demand the 1st week or two to some extent though.
 
Just wanted to thank all those that stepped up and offered help for Paise. She is getting a 5V mod, I am truly touched by the members in this thread. KBV is fortunate to have some of the best customers around :), always there to help and a few of them have a good sense of humor :p.

(((HUGS))) back to skeeter :) Congrats on overcoming some of the difficult hurdles life dealt you.

Same with me about all my juice from Bob..USPS sucks..I always have it in a 2-3 day turnaround, even when USPS says different..
Don't worry, I was disapointed when I was tracking mine & it said was still there in Hazelwood? It was in my mailbox when I got home & USPS said it was still in transit lol. Not sure how that happened but I was pleasntly suprised!

I just got my Waffle order moments ago. First, thanks for the really QUICK shipping. Now, I must say that this is one of if not the absolute best tasting waffle I have tried "fresh out of the mailbox"! I read above that "at some point" you'll be adding larger sizes. I'll keep an eye out for that, cause I definitley want a larger bottle of this joose! 30ml's only last me 6 days. :(

ps Haven't tried the sample yet, but I will give you my honest opinion when I do. :)

~Mike~
