I have the best boyfriend in the world :) So, last week he was asking questions about the MVP 2.0 mod I have wanted for a long time. He surprise ordered me one! I am so very excited! It should be here tomorrow! My only thing is I feel bad, because I planned to order it from Dino :( I still plan to order some things around February :)

Awesome! You've waited forever to get this guy, I know. :) My momma has one and she lurves it.

I'm still waiting on a replacement/refund... some kind of explanation (?) from sweetspotvapor.net for the e-LVT 15w regulated mod I sent them months ago after the firing button started firing continuously. I send him an email or call him about every two weeks, and if he deigns to respond, he tells me in exasperated tones about all the trouble he is having negotiating the return from China! I'm pretty patient, really, but this is getting ridiculous. It was a 70 dollar item (albeit a gift from my ex... so maybe it figures, heh) WITH an insurance policy he paid extra for. And I only got to use it for about 8 weeks.

Yet another reason to order from Dino, whom we know to be A+ in customer service.

Seriously, can you guys imagine that your customer sends back a defective product at their own expense, and then you just ignore them/give them the run-around---or worse, excuse yourself because you're having an issue with your supplier? What is this? Did he do me some GIANT favor by selling my bf the thing, and now I've just gone too far, asked too much?

Or am I just extra irritable because of the extra prednisone I'm taking for my arthritis? OK, I KNOW I am irritable, but he should give me a store credit or something, I think. And answer his phone once in a while. Grrr.

So....some new to me flavors....

Strawberry Custard: I was really hoping Dino would come up with something like this, as I really enjoy Strawberry Blonde by CRFT but with my unique shipping status it can be hard to get ahold of at a reasonable price. THIS.....answers the mail. The strawberry is up front but not overpowering, with the custard note coming on the exhale and throat hit. It's smooth, sweet, and creamy, and is an instant classic in the dessert vape category.

Cinnamon Tease: Oh man. I used to loooooooove me some Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal back in the day when my metabolism allowed for such gluttony, and this brings me back to those wonderful skinny days. The flavor profile is dead-on: you get the churro-esque fried dough quality with the cinnamon/sugar dusting on top, and - it might be wishful nostalgia - but I think I get a slight milk note on the exhale like I'm on the last few bites about to drink that delicious, decadent, cinnamon/sweet milk. Love it. LOVE IT.

Cola: Once again Dino>CRFT. They (CRFT) have a Lime Cola flavor I like because I love cola, and they're the first company I found that captured the flavor profile and "fizziness" even close to reality. Dino, of course, went one better and made a pitch-perfect glass of <insert brand name cola here> in vapor form. I bought this in the 30ml bottle on faith, and I'm not disappointed. This one will be in heavy "walking around town" rotation. Instant classic.

Strawberry Short Cake: Because why not make yet another perfect strawberry dessert flavor - one cannot have too many! The cake notes in this one are spookily good; it's not a generic "pastry" or "dough" flavor, it's shortcake. Exactly shortcake. The strawberry and cream notes are perfectly balanced, as if Dino was serving up a homemade shortcake, perfectly ripe strawberries, and homemade cream in the perfect proportion. Like the Cola flavor, I bought this one in 30mL size on faith and, like the Cola, I'm glad I did. This one will be ever-ready to be loaded in a dripper or Kayfun and enjoyed with an espresso after a good meal while my dining companions eat unhealthy "real" desserts loaded with sugar and preservatives and other non-beach-body-enhancing additives. Another instant classic.

I have to say it - with every round of new liquids he comes out with, it seems like Dino's hand is growing ever-surer with the flavor mixes and proportions. He's becoming a wizard when it comes to e-liquid mixology, and I find myself torn. The epicurean in me eagerly awaits every new delight, while the practical side of me groans inwardly at the thought of how much I *want* to spend on his website.

I got it just 20 minutes ago! I am very happy with it! I am planning to order a pink sleeve for it from Dino.

That is just absolutely ridiculous! I cannot believe you are still waiting :( I would have already snapped.... I do not think that is right. I am sorry you are being treated that way :(

The Cloupor and Kayfun 4 have arrived! I'm currently "airing out" the four juices I got along with it, but couldn't wait to try the new gear out...

The Cloupor is initially VERY impressive. I like the regulation - I've run my IGO-W, the old Kayfun, the new Kayfun, and an Aerotank on it at ranges from 0.7-2.1 ohms, working between 7-15 watts, and it's fantastic. I like the display, I LOVE the ability to lock the power buttons so it doesn't self-adjust in a pocket, and I have no issues with the .8 second "startup" delay when it shuts down after two minutes' inactivity. The only, and this is really nit-picky, complaint I have runs in line with PBusardo's comment - I'd like to see a spring-loaded 510 pin on a later version, as I've had to adjust it for nearly every change of atomizer. For its tiny size it feels solid and substantial, and I don't see it being nearly as delicate as my Vamo. Presuming I don't run into issues in the coming weeks I think I've found my new workhorse - thanks for the recommendation, Dino!

The Kayfun is awesome too. The build deck is super easy to build on and wick, and it produces the kind of beautiful vapor and flavor one would expect with the Kayfun line. This particular clone is impressive in its quality and tolerances. I haven't tried changing tank styles, just using the metal center. I think I'll end up going to the glass window or full polycarbonate - the lines look better to me and I like being able to see how much liquid I have left. That might present an issue, as the "counter nut" isn't finger-tight - I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it off the first time without resorting to tools, which scares me a bit. I don't want to strip any threads or knurling. I'm going to do some forum and YouTube research to see if there's a trick to it before I get too deep in that wormhole.
Everything you said. I've only run my squape on it so far but my baby is back! Makes that hummer amazinger than it already was. Yep I made that word up.

Sent from a cool but overpriced phone on TapaCrack at yo mama's house.

Thank you Fenway for the great reviews. Do you mind if I add them to our blog?
