Feel better Dusty :)

so I took my bottle of razzleberry pie today and turned it upside down and noticed that the bottom of the bottle was stained brown. It looks like when you get a bottle of snapple and some of the mix is on the bottom except when I shake it it doesnt mix into the juice. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Im not gonna lie im a little grossed out.
Not that I've noticed, but now I'm going to have to go look! I don't blame you for being a little grossed out...
my OCD keeps making me shake the bottle thinking it will mix ......I feel like a cat trying to catch the red laser dot
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Evening, all. Just back from my dad's place and had to share... I brought a ton of MBV juice and a handful of egos for my dad, stepmom and grandfather (stepmom had expressed interest, so this wasn't a case of me going way overboard!).

We had a tasting session, they tried a bunch of juices, tested out my MVP 2.0, learned how the egos worked, and picked out some juices for themselves... I came prepared with a bunch of 5ml bottles and decanted whatever took their fancy (cafe coffee was the big winner, it turns out.)

Stepmom was an avid student, and seems to really like the customization of gear and juice aspect. I wasn't surprised; she's an engineer. :) My father stood at a safe distance and grunted for a while (also unsurprising - standing at a safe distance and pretending disinterest is a specialty of his) before volunteering that it was never going to work for him because... and here he went on to describe the classic signs of PG sensitivity. This was also not remotely a surprise to me, as his only experience with ecigs prior to today were whatever he could pick up at the gas station, and I've inherited my own hairtrigger immune system from his side of the family. I explained about PG/VG ratios and suggested that he might want to try 100% VG juice.... to no real reaction, good or bad.

Meanwhile, my 81 year old grandfather had figured out his ego better than my father or stepmother combined, and was going to town. "This is great coffee! Where'd you get this?" He was drawing on it like a champ from the first pull without any "vaping isn't smoking" type coaching, primer puffs and all. :D

Several hours later, when I was on my way out the door 25ml of juice lighter (happily so), my dad finally spoke up, asking pseudo-casually, "So... where did you say you can get that stuff in 100% VG?"

Needless to say, I'm emailing him a list... and I left MBV business cards in my wake.

Add that to the friend who unexpectedly came to visit this weekend (same friend who helped me fix our van awhile ago), and who is vaping the heck out of my sticky bun and pumpkin spice and eying my TARDIS wrapped MVP 2 with open lust, and I may have managed to convert 4 smokers to vapors and MBV devotees in a 24 hour period. Is that a record? :D

Still amazed and amused by my grandfather though. Proof that he's an awesome dude. :2cool:

... the only down side to this weekend is, I'm going to need more juice!

Hang in there, Dusty.

Awesome read Seanchai :)

I'm back a few pages and not sure how far I'll get tonight, had a good time though, been a while since we've done the bar thing, dropped my PV and broke the drip tip fairly early into the evening, that was a first for me. Had a few ask about eCigs and such so hopin' I steered them the right direction :)

Yup it was one of my favorite set-ups :(

MKB with my dual coil RDA, almost :cry: when it happened, the side button caught my pocket on the way out and slipped right out of my hands....

Hittin' intermittent too boot, need to tear it down and see what else got jacked...

But we did discover an awesome bar which was a nice change of pace for us, really nice outside area to vape ;)

I'm still pretty much taking eGos out and about, and rarely carry a mod. I don't have any $200+ mods, but still very careful with my cheap mods. I hope the drip tip is easily replaced...and at least the MKB isn't the most expensive mod on the market.

:thumb: for finding a new watering hole...

Think overall it's fine may have tweaked something, will figure it out :)

Fairly cheap tip, really nice for dripping though, just irritated I dropped it....

We haven't done the bar thing in a long while, this place was nice :)

Drippin' Butter Pecan currently, 50/50 +1 dated 08/29, very nice :)

I know, right? Thing is, mine was dated 10/21 and I usually wouldn't even try it this early but I was really curious. So if I'm liking it a lot now I bet I'll really be impressed in a week or two or six.

For a little while, I wasn't sure if Coconut Cream Pie would ever lose that plastic taste... for me, it's finally lost it completely at 3 weeks, 5 days, 3.3-3.4 volts on a 2.4 atty (about 4.6-4.8 watts) in a pyrex aro on the MVP 2. It does *not* seem to like high heat at all. Just my experience, of course.... it's definitely a fiddly one, but really good when you finally hit the right steep time plus the right mystical combination for your gear.
I had a bottle of coconut 2+ months. Never stopped tasting plastic :( I think I'm just very sensitive.
So don't hurt my feelings lol
That's a shame. Perhaps he will have a change of heart. When you spend 4-6 weeks getting rid of that cough after having a cold, it tends to get old after a while. I look forward to NOT coughing up a lung for weeks on end the next time I get sick.

Yeah. Its his choice to make though. He did say something the other day about if he were to use "those things" that he'd want a normal flavor. Lol I told him there's tons of tobaccos and menthols ;)

Yeah, it's annoying but even medical grade plastics will stain over time. Plastic is a slightly porous material. When I was a kid we used to dye our plastic Radio Control parts different colors using food coloring. Put it in a pan of hot water and dump the parts in for a couple hours and they come out whatever color we used. Amazon has some one ounce cobalt blue bottles with drippers. I believe they come in six packs.

30ml is 1 ounce or so.

http://www.amazon.com/Cobalt-Blue-G...065536&sr=8-21&keywords=essential+oil+bottles


And the two ounce (amber - 50ml is 1.7 ounces or so)

http://www.amazon.com/Amber-Glass-B...4065410&sr=8-5&keywords=essential+oil+bottles

And the four ounce (cobalt) = 120ml

http://www.amazon.com/Pack-Cobalt-B...5&keywords=essential+oil+4+ounce+glass+bottle

Seems like a bit of an investment, but I've been wondering about the citrus liquids and long term impact of sitting in plastic for months.

Sounds like he's going to take some convincing but saying that he would want a "normal" flavor might be an opening for you if you can find a really nice pure tobacco blend. I'm at a loss here as I never got any kind of flavor from the cigarettes I smoked. Didn't matter what brand they were, they all just tasted "brown" to me. Now cigars, I could go on for hours about the flavor profiles of many brands. :D Perhaps someone here who likes tobacco liquids could recommend something.

I can barely get him to try mine. I figure if he ever wants them, they're always laying around. I wouldn't know a good tobacco juice from a bad one LOL they don't sound appealing to me :/

tobacco = ahlusion IMO they are really the only ones I have tasted that do them right thus why they are one of the only vendors I still buy from

I'm checking out their website now. Are they the ones that originally created the smooth criminal everyone talks about?

no prob....it's best after 2 months of steeping so my recommendation is to try 3mls when you get it 3mls at the 1 month mark and 3mls at the 2 month mark and you'll get an idea if you like it
