I was just checking out the MBV wholesale site and they have 16 oz for like 30 dollars? How is that possible when a 236 ml on the regular website is 40 dollars. And yes this is flavored. Is there a certain amount you have to buy or something?
It is possible because there are no free samples, no free shipping, shipping may take longer, no direct customer service, and many of the other perks of full service retail are not offered. All those things cost money & that is what you are paying for. On the wholesale site you are buying the product only.
I have not used the wholesale site but I belive that there is no minimum order.

is it ok if I let my pink champagne sit? Is there a bubbly feeling that's going to go away or is it fine if I don't touch it for a few weeks, I have way too much damn juice right now

the flavor gets stronger over time imo:) it's fine to leave it for a few weeks

They're predicting a high of 45°, but my joints say more rain's on the way... I'll be happy if it stays dry long enough for me to run some errands in a little bit. Rained all night as well, so I'm running on about an hour of sleep. Think we've had two dry days in the past 3 weeks. This barometric pressure's killing me. That said, could be worse... at least we don't have to deal with lake effect snow down here in Gawgia. :D (I've been here 25 years and still find it bizarre that there are *no* natural lakes in the entire state, but that's my Great Lakes prejudice speaking.)

Currently vaping whatever ended up in my chocolate-designated tank... I think it's Dark Chocolate, some kind of coffee and a dash of Cinnamon Roll, but I could be wrong.

Anyone for cookies? We had our annual cookie party yesterday and I'm having the leftovers for breakfast. Are holiday cookie parties a Midwestern thing too? Everyone down here seems perplexed by the notion.

Never been to a cookie party but it sure sounds good. I'm diabetic so I have to get my sweet stuff in a vape. My wife & I set up as vendors at several craft shows in our area, & we did one yesterday. I can never sleep after one ( too much coffee ) so I'm going on about 2 hours myself.
Gonna find time for a nap after while.

Morning everyone!

Seanchai: the overcharge protection on the MVP, does that mean i can charge it when i crash and not worry about it?

noticed the board games thing (again), have you ever tried Xiangqi, Chinese Chess? it's a beautiful game. there are only 5 pawns, the king and ministers can't leave the "castle" and there's a river in the middle of the board. it's not as boring as Western chess. you don't have to learn 65 openings to the 25th move. there is, last i heard, a million dollar prize if a non-Asian finishes first in a tournament. in various Asian countries, they learn to play like we learn checkers. for many, it is a form of gambling.

i bought a small hand help version once. i found a flaw in the programming the day i bought it. as with any cheap chess computer, you can fool it it by sacrificing pieces. they seem to be set to value point-count over position. i could beat it on day one. i took it to work the next day. i worked with a few Vietnamese gents. Lou, the pantry guy, kept saying he play me, but only for $25. tha annoyed me at first, because i just learned to play. the dishwasher, Xoung, did play me. i beat him the first game and Lou went running out of the room. we played another one and i beat him again. that was just to let him know it wasn't a fluke. for some reason, Lou refused to play me afterwards. Phoung, a guy we trained to replace me when i left, a few years earlier, would play me. we were 50/50, and iirc, i think he had a slight edge.

anyway, it's a great game with on-line versions available. there are a few masters on youtube that give lessons, as well. i'm tempted if i ever get my disability, to study it seriously.

This is what I wanted to hear, THANK YOU!

@ch1naski
Yeeeeah I know all about the steeping (read: whiney voice). Unfortunately.

@mcol
I plan to buy in advance in future endeavors and had I known a month or even a week before I did that I was finally going to get my act together and get a REAL PV, I would've. I had been wanting one but it wasn't until my last 2 batteries lost most of their function within a day or each other that I finally decided to suck it up and invest in something better. Now that I did, I'm like a crazy person. Do you guys often find that your nicotine intake goes UP with vaping? And moreover, that your financial expenditures do as well the more you realize how AWESOME and interesting? It's like the freakin' Wonka Factory! In theory, vaping should SAVE a person money. No one warned that, in practice, you can break the bank over vaping :)

Everyone is just so nice here, haha, I feel like a total geek saying it over and over but everyone here has just been AWESOME at enabling my ever-snowballing obsession with vaping.

For the record, there *are* cigalike devices that perform as well as some "real pv"'s. It's all about what works best for you. If it's keeping you off the analogs because you want to be off analogs, that's good enough.

It's also extremely difficult to compare nicotine intake between analogs and pv's. I'd focus more on the ~4,000 other chemicals you aren't inhaling any more, and not so much about comparing nic intakes.

Welcome to the world of harm reduction meets hobby!

Thanks. The metal is not compromised at all but I hear what you're saying. I need back ups anyway so should probably just replace it. I have 3 of these, the 18350's, and 2 18500's so I need to beef up the battery collection. And better safe than sorry for sure!!

Better safe than sorry :) I would get a new battery. Be safe roonies :)

My 16oz bottle came out to $41 and change with shipping, took a few days longer than the retail site to get it, and had no sample. But is absolutely worth it at the price per ml.


Perfect answer :)
