My vaping life sucks right now. I've had a severe nasal virus for 3 wks. now and I can't seem to shake it. Consequently I can't taste any of my e-liquid flavors, and I am %#@$%&$# frustrated. I could take the high road and think of it like banging your head against the wall and how good it will feel when you stop. At any rate just thought I would share my misery with y'all.--B0 :mad:

I had the same thing and it lasted for two weeks. Couldn't taste anything. I took that opportunity to vape the juices I had that I wasn't really crazy about.

Thanks Sambuca--I have done that and it does make my nose feel better. I don't usually like menthol, but in my present state it doesn't really matter as I can taste nothing. Gargling with salt water seems to help also. The preferred treatment is steroids, but I can't have that as it makes my blood sugar go thru the roof( I'm diabetic). I just need to wait it out, but this blasted weather in Iowa doesn't help. I shall prevail, as I have suffered much worse in my life. The good news is there is no sense ordering more juice till I can taste again.--Bo:p

glad I took care of my errands today since it's suppose to snow again tomm.....I'm off so I'll be vaping on the couch all day ( my new favorite thing to do during the winter) I have a mini DIY session planned for later by I am dangerously low on Nic so I might have to limit my mixes to 15ml bottles rather than 30-60ml batches

evening allayas :)

Hawkeye.. try garlic soup.. link searching now...
oh right.. saved the recipe.. not the link

52 Clove Garlic Soup Recipe (Serves 4)

* 26 garlic cloves (unpeeled)
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) organic butter (grass-fed)
* 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder (or more if you like it zippier)
* 1 heaping teaspoon turmeric
* 1/2 cup fresh ginger
* 2 1/4 cups sliced onions
* 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
* 26 garlic cloves, peeled
* 1/2 cup almond milk or coconut milk (hemp milk is good too)
* 3 1/2 cups organic vegetable broth
* 4 lemon wedges

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place 26 garlic cloves in small glass baking dish. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt and toss till coated.

Cover baking dish tightly with foil and bake until garlic is golden brown and tender, about 45 minutes. Cool. Squeeze garlic between fingertips to release cloves. Transfer cloves to small bowl.

Melt butter in heavy, large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions, thyme, ginger, turmeric and cayenne powder and cook until onions are translucent, about 6 minutes.

Smash 12 raw garlic cloves and set aside. Add roasted garlic and 14 raw garlic cloves and cook 3 minutes. Add vegetable broth; cover and simmer until garlic is very tender, about 20 minutes.

Working in batches, puree soup in blender until smooth. Return soup to saucepan; add almond or other milk and bring to simmer. Add 12 smashed garlic cloves to finished soup and stir. Season with sea salt and pepper for flavor. Squeeze juice of 1 lemon wedge (into each bowl) and serve.

*************

and now back to our regularly scheduled vape chatter...

I keep thinking my new clearos must be leaking since I'm having to fill them so often.. sticky bun.. cinnamon roll and whipped cream vape reeeeeeeeeeally fast this week.. dual coil...

If you're in the kitchen, you're bound to bump into me. The kitchen is my domain in thishouse. :)

Kitchen? What's a kitchen?

Isn't that the room that other people go into and come out of bearing dinner? :)



Disclaimer: Yes, I can cook. Quite well, in fact. However, I detest doing so. So I avoid it whenever possible.

Wow... Missed out on sample by 34 cents...... I was looking at total after shipping i guess. Still kindof feel like they could have let me slide for 30 cents.... I would have added a needle tip to make it 15 if I had been looking at the right total :(

Ok, now, I wasn't going to say anything on this and I have had it happen to me, but you know who's fault that was MINE! They have criteria in place for a reason, if it was something that was there error they will fix it, if it's an error of yours well, that falls on you and not the vendor. It is clearly stated that the order is to be $15.00 not including shipping or any discounts. I fell short twice, guess who's fault that is, MINE. The problem I am having here is that I find it extremely disrespectful to make an issue that was not the vendors fault and bring it up in another Vendors thread. MBV is one of the only vendor's I know of that give out a 15ml bottle when you purchase $15.00 worth of items, others maybe 3ml some maybe 5ml etc.. Sorry, but this just really goes against my grain.

As I stated, I have done it a few times in the past, but i'll be damned if I would go around a cry about it or try to make it the vendors issue when it was clearly my responsibility to adhere to the policy that was set forth. Just like any polices anywhere, be it work, a store etc, etc. It's there for a reason, and they do not have to even do this at all.

Ok, I'm not saying anymore as things like this just irk the hell out of me!

happens all the time in the Ahlusion thread but their sample policy is a little more restrictive. On my first MBV order I placed an order over $15 and didn't get a free sample and my order was wrong. They fixed my order and even though I was a little disappointed with the sample I let it go. We never get anything for free these days so the samples I do get from vendors I simply consider a bonus. I never expect it. Especially since I got my sample back 10 fold at a vape meet where I got 8 free samples and a T-shirt which I love. So they made up for it in my book

Good evening MBV :) Happy Monday

I haven't caught up from the weekend yet, so apologies if someone has already posted this.

If you want to show MBV some love, there is a "Best of 2013" survey up on the internetz. I found the site to be frustratingly slow, so plan to spend some time getting your votes in. Here's the link:
Guide To Vaping's Best of 2013

I'll be back later once I've caught up on the chatter (well, at least skimmed it anyway :D)

is Ahlusion the one that is a pita to get an account with? If so, I tried every morning for a month or so to register for an account early last year.. finally figured .. why am I wasting my time for expensive juice when mvb exists.

haha yea that's them but yet have recently expanded their ordering hours it is ALOT easier now and it is definatly worth it. My ADV comes from there and they have a couple of amazing flavors I can't live without. Aside from MBV they are the only other company I order from these days

Ok, I probably shouldnt have used the name of the vendow in that post in that thread. Regardless of the sample, I was going to order from them next anyways. I am still new and trying all the juice I can get my hands on.

Besides that, I was not laying blame on them. I was the one who didnt pay attention to the total. I think I did in my cart as a matter of fact but then put in ECF promo. Not "crying " by any means. I thought it was at limit and have waited 5 days thinking it would be in their. Had my hopes up so yes I am a but crushed. Am I boycotting MBV? NO. Am I emailing them complaining? NO. Just stated my feelings and disapointment is all. Like I said, I should not have added that to the other vendor post. Especially with the statement that I would be ordering from them next. Its done and I still like MBV.
I understand the guidelines. I made the mistake of putting in the promo cose and not checking the price before shipping. I still say 36 cent is funny though.
