MIA! I need help!

You and I have a flavor profile that is very close, and I will be ordering again, Cinnamon Red Hot, Whipped Cream, Pink Champagne, and a TOBACCO. Is there a MBV tobacco that you can recommend? I read the 555 menthol was great, BUT I just read a couple of reviews and someone mentioned HONEY *shudder*.

ANKARA [Supposed to be a Turkish, which is my favorite tobacco vape] reviews say it is flowery, candy, hookah :/ the perfume is not an issue, leave the cap off and I do like some perfumey vape flavor.

COUMARIN PIPE reviews are so mixed, I get nothing from them.

I can vouch for 555 menthol! Some people let it steep, but I vape it immediately. Also, I don't know about honey but it does have a hint of caramel. In fact I mix it with a little Caramel Candy or some Vanilla Tobacco and it's become my go to vape. I'm going to take the recommendation of someone here and mix it with Cherry Bomb as soon as my shipment gets here.

yeppers, i ordered my mini protanks back in july and just got them last week. i guess they were waiting for the version 2 (removable drip tip) to be released. :)


i had a heck of a time getting my ptank 2s. i checked the PO link and it said they were delivered. ran to the lobby to check my mail box...no ptanks, got my other package. no manager today. called the head manager (she vapes too). she told my manager told was gone to the casino, but was expecting a package herself and yesterday had told the mail lady to leave it with Arlie (cuz she's always making puzzles in the common room). went to the common room and checked w/Arlie, mail came early, she wasn't downstairs yet...:(

called Joy back to see if she was aware of any plan B, nope. told her what i was waiting on (i had given her one of my old ptanks and i let try out new tobacco juices). she said she'd keep an ear out. called the PO, called the supplier...

3 hours later, our CEO knocks on my door, he's got my package! i was so stressed, in the meantime, i placed an order with MBV: 2 SmokTech Mini RDAs, some Stag Leaf Tobacco Electronic Cigarette Flavoring and i asked for some 0mg caramel apple (so i can mix it with the caramel apple i got as my freebie on my last order...only it was 36mg! :evil:

oh well, got my ptanks and soon i'll be able to drip the MBV tobaccos i've had steeping for 3 months, and some i've made.

vapin' up an MBV storm! :vapor::vapor::vapor:

(not that there's anything wrong with that! ;))

We get over 150 trick or treaters every year and sometimes we even have enough candy for them.
Kit Kat, Snickers, Butterfinger & Reeses @ 8/$1 youch! glad it's only once a year.
Don't let the buggers get their hands in your bowl, put it in the sack yourself or else you run out early.

I give good candy but make them say T or T first :)

I have a sound effects record that I play throughout the barrage.
I always play Rob Zombie's House Of 1000 Corpses & Devil's Rejects afterwards to purge the cuteness :headbang:

No costume, I'm scary enough.


vaping Dutch Apple Pie ATM. This IS good.


My P thingy is in Shrewsbury, about 10 miles away.
I keep chanting "Can't break in, they wouldn't understand..."
We have had upwards of 500 kids per Halloween each year for the past 6 we haved lived here. It is bannaannaas. We live on a half cul d sac and the whole corner usually do their houses up pretty cool. We usually set the projector up and screen the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown. The neighbour next door puts on a fire spinning show. It's really a fun place around this time of year.

Last year, a mean lady named Sandy (and she blew into town leaving a path of destruction, I must say.....) ruined Halloween for us. Hoping that this year will be better, since my 7 year old son and 11 year old daughter really got screwed out of it last year.

We like to go all out for halloween, lots of kids come to the house, and I too have to "purge the cuteness", Mowgli....this is the time of year that all of the best movies are on cable....I am a HUGE fan of horror flicks, even the bad ones !!! (and agree that the Rob Zombie ones are off the hook !!...go Captain Spaulding !)

Thanks for the info, Gautama! I'm certainly going to try it!

I'd been having some issues with the TH recently, it was WAY OVERBOARD, so I thought I was developing a reaction to the PG, as many do. I went to MAX VG with 24mg nicotine to fight the cravings and the throat issue never changed :/ I went BACK to 50/50 and 70/30 and 12mg to 18mg nicotine and had no issues. So, I have come to believe that I have some juice with higher nicotine than the 18mg that I ordered. I am sitting at 18mg ANY PG/VG mix and using the 24mg ONLY when I am wanting to chew nails XD

My order, a few samples to test out and re-ordering my Cinnamon Red Hot, I went to refill a 30ml needle tipped bottle and saw I only have about an inch left in a 236ml bottle... sheesh, I can't run out of my Cinnamon Red Hot, I can add it or the Extreme Ice to almost ANYTHING and make it better!

555 Menthol (Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 50% VG 50% , Bottle Size: 30 ml + 5 Extra Flavoring Shots
Ankara Tobacco (Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 50% VG 50% , Bottle Size: 30 ml + 5 Extra Flavoring Shots
Cinnamon Roll (Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 50% VG 50% , Bottle Size: 30 ml + 5 Extra Flavoring Shots
Pink Champagne (Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 50% VG 50% , Bottle Size: 30 ml + 5 Extra Flavoring Shots
Whipped Cream (Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 50% VG 50% , Bottle Size: 30 ml + 5 Extra Flavoring Shots

Cinnamon Red Hot (Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 50% VG 50% , Bottle Size: 236 ml + 5 Extra Flavoring Shots

Morning all. Read that a few of you are getting into drippers (IGO-L) or have them on the way. They are my go-to atomizer, anyone needs any pointers or anything lemme know. It's a frosty one down this way, hope you all are staying warm.
I have a chimbus and I have tried bloody everything to get some decent flavour out of it, I've tried reg coils at 1.1, I've tried micros at about the same, cotton wool, cotton balls, silica, used my vamo at multiple W settings, a chiablo mech mod with a fully charged 18650. What the heck am I doing wrong, all I taste is either the wire or the wick. Best thing I have found so far is something I picked up on the Canadian forums called the tornado wick, where you wrap the cotton wool around the outside of the coil instead if through the centre of it, wicked vapor production but still crappy taste? Idk what I am doing wrong.

Not sure. I haven't used the Chimbus, not very familiar with it, but can't imagine it being altogether that different from an IGO. I know that a brand new coil does have that silica taste for me, but otherwise I get good flavor from mine. I don't taste metal or anything in mine, just a bit of the silica (I use ekowool) until the coil gets more broken in. You might need to drill out the airhole on that Chimbus, more airflow should increase both vapor and flavor, if I'm not mistaken. I have kept all my drippers and my RSST stock, I tend to like a tighter draw.

Have you used it a lot? I know I have slowly gotten better at wrapping coils, and I get great performance from mine now that I have had a good amount of experience wrapping them. Check out this thread by ECF member iKEO, he has put together a coil/wick method for drippers and RBA's that is pretty innovative. I have yet to try it, but I fully plan to when I get a bit of free time.

Anyway, keep at it. Hope you figure it out. I do know that certain flavors simply taste better depending on what you use to vaporize them. The Toasted Almond and Marshmallow mix that I love doesn't taste like much in an IGO, but it's AWESOME in a carto. Go figure.

that's like I love the flavor of a wick that is a couple days old and has a lot of FLAVOR in it...( just before it has to be changed)...but it always takes quite awhile to get that Mmmmm taste out of a new flavor wick....and then it's almost finished.....SAD !!!

Like a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Almost. Maybe not really. But kinda.

What I'm saying is, I feel you.

Does anyone else get "fancy" with their vaping stuff for special occasions? I have a wedding to attend in early November and I'm considering getting a new battery in green to match my dress, and splurge on a nice tank for it.

Weird?

Or maybe I'm just looking for any excuse to buy vape gear.

Also thinking Pink Champagne will need to be my juice du jour for the event.

Any other suggestions for flavors for a New England fall wedding in a barn? I'll probably stick with Caramel Apple. It's been serving me well recently. Maybe Cranberry to go with the cranberry and vodkas I'll be consuming at the open bar lol.

oh! Mowgli's post reminded me to explain *why* we never have trick-or-treaters... Part of it is because we live in an area without sidewalks, but for 20 years my father and i had a working guillotine (on a 15 ft platform) with executioner (holding the head high) and executed, and "blood" spurting out of the neck, in our front yard halloween week. (figuring out the pump system to recycle the "blood" was the toughest part.) in addition to the guy crawling out of the open grave and the 40 ft web across the front of the house with large "black widow" in the center. (god, that was a lot of macrame.)

so what we used to have was no trick-or-treaters, because they were way too freaked out, but parents running their kids by *after* trick-or-treating to take pictures from the safety of their cars. :d

now that dad's gone, we don't do the big extravaganza anymore, so now we have no trick-or-treaters *and* no cops at either end of our street directing backed up traffic on halloween night and secretly hating us. ;) i'd keep up the tradition, but i need somebody with working hands and legs who can do some of the heavy lifting... Till then we'll just have to be the boring house.

we need pix of that guillotine!!!!!!!!!

It's very good and when I went to put it in my cart for the next order, it's not on the website. It tastes like Cinnamon Roll without the Roll part.
I'm soooo asking for this as my freebie!! I loved the cinnamon flavor of cinnamon roll right out of the mail, then it mellowed out after a week or 2. Don't get me wrong-it's still yummy. But I really loved loved loved the way it tasted brand new.
