I'm really surprised at all of you who are liking your juices right out of the mail. Out of about 50 flavors, I've only found a few that I liked without at least a week steep. Most are best for me after 2 to 3 weeks steeping. I just tried vanilla custard after having it for about a week and it tastes like nothing. Back into the cupboard it goes. I really want to love that one!!

Odd. Vanilla Custard to me was too harsh straight from the mail, after about two weeks it's becoming mellower and easier to vape. The nutmeg is less pronounced, definitely there but blending with the vanilla and it's sweeter. 65/36 with one shot.

Oh, you mean stratman isn't just a handle? You actually play those .. those... those.. things?
I hate to admit that I have an SSO, but it's a Japanese SHS at least... gimmme my LP or give me death!

(G.A.S. just don't apply to musical instruments it appears) :)

But if it's any consolation to an F-man, I love my G-DEC ... :)

are you talking about a kick?

Not 100% sure if that is the correct term for them but I know there are fuses you can buy that will fit in the battery tube and keep it protected. Like this one, Smoktech Safety Fuse .

And a protected battery has a special circuit in it to keep it from doing voltages it's not supposed to.

Mine is 6mg, 65/30 with 2 shots. I may be getting just a hint of nutmeg but that's it!!

I keep wanting to add a good MIA to my group, but just haven't found one that speaks to me yet. I started on Epi LPs, and when I could got the real things. Now I'm back to 1 LP, and AE6 and an AE12, and my SSO. I need to play out again, but have been too lazy, so now, just like things you do for enjoyment, I just play with myself. (hence why I love the G-DEC)

I started with the Halo G6 kit, then 2 vision spinners which I've been rotating for almost 4 months now. When I went to KC I let my BFF use the Halo kit and she loved it. After I left there she wrote and said she had stopped smoking and was using the Blu's. She's still smoke free after about 3 weeks or so now. I feel really good about that. Whatever works, huh?! I feel my 1300 Mah spinners' battery life gradually decreasing now so it's beyond time for me to upgrade. C'mon check....get here!! Mama needs a new mod!!

I'm the first of any of my friends to really get into vaping beyond disposables. My friends always ask what flavor I have and have to try it, last night a friend said he saw someone else with one like mine and said I'm a trendsetter lol. He calls them Kitty cigs when he sees someone with one. They're all really into it and plan to get one, they ask me a lot of questions. While I'm far from a pro, I give them all the info I can and direct them to both ECF and YouTube, as well as MBV of course. Got one started on a Vamo straight away, lucky he had some guidance and didn't waste any time and money with the disposables!

I'm still waiting on the mech. My mind is made up. It's the Provari Mini for me, then an evic....but I have digressed way off topic for this thread....sorry. :blush:

Yeah...and I'm thinking about making my own lye soap too :2cool:

I've actually made my own lye soap. (It was years ago and I mainly remember that it's too much trouble to fool with.) I still make my own laundry detergent. (Granted, that's pretty easy but I've had people look at me like I have two heads when I mention that. It's about the same look they give me when I tell them I don't own a television.)

Vaping is just starting to make the transition to mainstream, so expect supplies to get a little tight from time to time as they try to play catch up.

Well, I am there with you, I like some flavors right away, but alot of them I have to steep and let mature for their fullest potential, especially as I typically get a 50/50 mix and sometimes a 65/35 mix that latter require a slightly less steep time. The Red Apple I got as a sample has taken about 2 1/2 weeks before I considered it ready to vape but I am giving it another week it has gotten better and instead of the initial hit tasting like apple rind it is now tasting more like the exhale of red apple. Cheesecake sample I got is now also much better, tasted a bit tart right out of the mail and was considering offering it up, but it is now a nice change of pace. Out of the 50 flavors I have I think there are like 8 or so that I like straight out of the mail, the rest take anywhere from 1 - 4 weeks to reach their full potential, but can honestly say I haven't gotten a flavor yet that I don't like from MBV.

I looked at those but if I'm not mistaken, the head was not a vv/vw, which is why the price was only $10. I'd have to double check but I remember thinking that price was wayyyy under any place else so I read the description. New flavors coming tomorrow....yay!!!

Glad to hear that...I'm about ready to give up the boat on the Vanilla Custard!

Actually it wasn't just the head it was the complete Evic for like 77 bucks, but they flew out and are not on the site anymore...Here's one for you Innokin iTaste 134 Starter Kit - Mt Baker Vapor - Electronic Cigarettes

Shhhhh...my wife is already shaking her head in dread at yet another "hobby" of mine...as if the guitars and amps aren't enough

I really don't want to bust into my Strat cash fund but I may just have to, I need to get more atty's and now thinking I want at least one RBA, and I may also go for a simple mod or possibly add a VAMO which was what I was originally going to get, need to have a vv/vw as backup just in case, but I am also going to get a few spinners for out and about and maybe a few more cig-a-like batteries also for the short trips around town.

It will set me back a couple of months on getting a REAL Strat but I have 3 other guitars, the main reason for the strat is due to my love of Stevie Ray Vaughn's musical style!!!

You do realize that in that last sentence you left yourself wide open! lol

Provari's are only VV they don't have the VW option on them.
