Ok, the suspense was killing me so I just had to give Almond Delight a vape...

The sample I received is 12 mg. at 80/20. It's worth noting that this is high PG for me (I'm used to vaping 50/50).

So my first impressions are this: It needs some time to steep.

It's a bit chemically right now. I can kind of taste the almonds, but the chemical taste and smell is just to off-putting right now. It has a very mild TH, almost non-existent really, which surprised me considering the chemical taste and the PG ratio. I was expecting to get that itchy, dry TH from the chemicals but no, nothing. Smooth really.

I have very high hopes for this one, once given it's proper steep time. But at least now I know it definitely does need to steep. I'll update again after Monday.

I'm missing hanging out here the last couple of days. I have an order on the site just waiting for me, but my mom, who has been battling pancreatic cancer for 4 years, took a turn for the worse. She's in a hospice home in Kansas City and I'm in NJ so I'm flying out there Sat. Looks like I will be having my order sent to my daughter's house there. This is going to be a test...after 2 months of being smoke free I do not want to start up over all of this stress. I'm planning on loading up my check in bag with all of my juices...double bagging and praying they don't leak....hardware going into the carry on and into a tray. Wish me luck. This will be my first time vaping around my family and you can be sure I'll be power vaping. Not a happy time, but I'm grateful to have my ECF friends. I always know I'm going to get good support here. And a final thought.....tell someone you care about that you love them....don't wait. :)

EVODS Ohai - never had one crack. Sorry, never tried the others.

Today's random question:

Anyone have any experience with using these (DV CE4+) with any of MBV's long long list of potential tank crackers? I'm curious if they held up for you, or if putting Key Lime or Creme de Menthe in a clearo is a pipe dream.

I'm so sorry, roonies. :( I hope everything works out for the better.

I have a noob question.... If I get extra flavor shots in any of the mentholated juices, does that also increase the menthol? I love Thug Juice, Jungle Juice and Hawk Sauce, but I would love to taste more of the fruity parts. The menthol pretty much overwhelms -most- of the flavor, but not all.

ETA: I'm trying the America right now and I REALLY like it. It's berry good and lightly lemony. Very nice combo.

Roonies, like I said to you yesterday - sending prayers - you can DO this - hang onto your PV for dear life if you need to. Bring your bestest juice - pamper yourself with flavor while you are going through this. And show your mom what a great thing you've done :) Will you have a computer there? Keep us posted and please post when you need support - we're here. We've learned about great support from MBV right?

This is why I love Kanger Protanks. Attys can be swapped out and left to soak in PGA, tank can be washed out easily, and then you're ready to load in a new flavor, and since it's pyrex, there's no fear of any flavor cracking it.

I'd ask them if they can do this for you. Extra flavor shots shouldn't affect the flavor mix, but I don't see why they couldn't give you extra shots of just the fruity flavor if you asked. They also have the build your own flavor where you select what flavors to mix, but you'd probably be better off getting their advice than trying to guess a mix.

Anyone tried both Moo and strawberry shortcake?

If so, which do you prefer and what is the difference in flavor?

Actually vaping strawberry shortcake in my aga-t as I type this. Didn't care for it the first 2 weeks a had it. It's steeped nice now and have been vaping it for 2 days. Which moo are you referring too? Blue moo or moo juice? I have both, the blue moo is more buttered blueberry and cream and the moo juice is supposed to be strawberry and cream but I really don't get any strawberry out of it. I got all 3 at the same time and they have been steeping up until the beginning of this week. I'm really liking the strawberry shortcake.

Roonies, I've been through this horrible situation before. I was wearing out lighters from all the smokes I went through at the time(s). I would suggest keeping your batteries charged and extra tanks or clearos with you. Let hospice not only help your mother but they will help you also. They do the hardest of jobs at the worst of times but are usually very good folks. Lean on them as you need to.

Thanks! You just answered a question I was going to post since I just got my Protank today. I love the vape and flavor coming out of it. I used it to start testing out some the juices I got a couple days ago that I have been steeping. OK what is PGA? I washed out the tank between juice changes and I had no clue what to do with the Attys. Last change was from Hawk Juice (love it) to Whipped Cream. Was tasting too much HJ in it then it just didn't have any taste. I have the extra atty and I have another 5 pack that I haven't used FWIW.

I agree that the Shortcake definitely has more strawberry taste to it but I also taste the strawberry in the moo, it's just a little lighter. I always get 2 shots with these so that may account for the increase in flavor. I don't get butter taste in my blu moo, just blueberry and cream taste.

I always use similar types of flavors in the same tanks so the taste is not contaminated with harsh flavor changes. I think the menthol is hard to get out of a tank to change to a non-menthol type flavor.

Thumbs up on Hawk Sauce & Protanks

I wash my tanks/coils in hot water then soak them in a glass in the sink and shoot HOT water in it to circulate every so often.
I also hold my finger over the opposite end and blow through the coil assembly, rinse, blow, soak some more, etc.

I use Evod coils in the PTs to get a less airy hit.
5 coil pack for about $6 at Discount Vapers and their shipping is fast.
Kanger eVod Coil Replacement 5 pack - 1.8 ohms

I found the previous juice's taste passes in a few minutes to the new taste but Hawk Sauce is strong and might take a few minutes more.
Don't give up on whipped cream though, use a fresh coil for it or something.
