Good to see you Kraken :)

Been meanin' to ask if your username happens to have anything to do with my favorite rum...

Ha, no, but i recommended another San Antonian I met the other day to seek you out after seeing your mods in one of our co-op threads. I see he linked up with you, good deal, he seems like a good feller. He had asked me the same thing though. I guess all the SA folks drink the Kraken Rum. Its actually the first movie I saw in a movie theater when i was a kid (well that and empire strikes back but i dont remember which one i saw first). I also could have gone the Superman route since the original superman was the first movie i saw at a drive in (i fell asleep in my jammies right after he reversed time:))

I finally figured out that what is funky for me on the creamy flavors, like Vanilla Custard and Bavarian Cream, is that they have sort of an acidic after taste. This is at 6mg. nic, 50/50, 2 flavor shots. Wonder if changing up my PG/VG ratio would help with this. I would really like to enjoy these flavors.....maybe the "P" word PVA I just ordered 5 minutes ago in white...heehee....will help! I definitely need to rebuild some of my heads. They are getting gunky as all get out and I'm sure that doesn't help the taste at all!



When I do a flavor that has a creamy base I primarilly use TFA Vanilla Swirl which is a vanilla custard. I use the sweet cream with my coffee and tea drink flavors. Kind of to each their own :)

Hey Mike, I am a fan of Vanilla Swirl too as you know, however I have to ask, have you tried cream from vapingzone? It is my new favorite cream flavor, and I think I have tried them all at this point.

Got a bunch of their flavors and they are all super concentrated so 2 to 3% is all you need. So far I am very, very impressed. I use .5% of the cream in most things now and it is incredible. I would imagine adding a little to MBV or any bakery type juice (fruits too) would really make them shine. (Not that they aren't already great or anything)

Hi Aaron!

No I haven't but thanks for the tip :thumb: I haven't experimented as much lately, pretty much have the staples that I keep churnin' out and mixin' the requests...

Where ya' been hiding?

Thats a good tip right there. I am actually driving over to wizard labs on Thursday since will be on orlando anyway. I placed an order today they said would be ready when I got there. Will have to call them back and get it added.

I personally seem to be very very sensitive to the "vg taste" on the back end. Sounds like you maybe as well. Have you let them steep for a few weeks? I find, for me anyway, anything over 40% VG, i need to let steep an extra week or two for the flavor to "penetrate" or take over the VG taste i experience.

Or also since vg is considered sweeter tasting, when the creamy sweetness of these combine it creates strange backend flavors until the extra steeping is completed.

I would have made a serious wager on your username, now you know why I don't gamble ;) love my Kraken for sure. Trying to remember my first drive in, almost have it...

Been pretty busy, had a bunch of music festivals and conventions in August then took the niece to Disney world and been working my .... off trying to get caught up ever since. Feels like I am drowning in work, ya know.

Anyways, when you get in the mood to experiment again you should give them a try, I'm very impressed. I made a small order of a few things to try them out and last night put in a huge order of a lot of flavors. I am crossing my fingers that their pear is what I have been searching for, will find out in a few days.

You picked some real winners there. Let us know what you think!!


Thank you for asking! And the only reason they weren't my 1st online order was that so many ppl liked so many flavors here, my mind was in a spin what to get.

I do know I am really liking 50/50 right now (vape shop was 60/40) and that 24 mg (or higher) is working for me since I just stopped smoking a week ago.

My first orders, (VV, HHV) I think helped me to see some flavors I like and maybe where I should go. I must have had a sweet tooth last night because here's what I ordered (the Hawk Sauce I am not too sure what that is but so many like it, why not try it?)

I am *really* looking forward to this (but also was really looking forward to Aiv--BTW the packaging was "terrific" but you can't vape packaging):

1 x Butterscotch E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 24 mg/ml (Strong), Blend: PG 50% VG 50% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.50 8oz, .25 under 8oz): 0)
1 x Caramel Candy E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 24 mg/ml (Strong), Blend: PG 50% VG 50% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.50 8oz, .25 under 8oz): 1)
1 x Cinnamon Roll E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 24 mg/ml (Strong), Blend: PG 50% VG 50% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.50 8oz, .25 under 8oz): 1)
1 x Irish Cream E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 24 mg/ml (Strong), Blend: PG 50% VG 50% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.50 8oz, .25 under 8oz): 0)
1 x Strawberry Shortcake E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 24 mg/ml (Strong), Blend: PG 50% VG 50% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.50 8oz, .25 under 8oz): 0)
1 x Hawk Sauce E Juice Baker Vapor

Ha, Mexico does feel like it was last year, been a crazy couple months. Actually looking into another job with an actual schedule so hopefully that will work out. This being on call all day every day is for the birds as you and your wife well know.

Hope everything is going alright over there man, good to see you too.
