Isn't that the second juice you've had recently that tastes like Larry David?

I didn't get any notes of Larry from Casa; otherwise I may have enjoyed it.

I got Boomer's Orlik to last for 2.2ml! The secret is getting the wick precisely the right diameter and length. If it is too thick, the middle burns too much. If it is too long it compresses on the side and doesn't draw in the liquid as long. When I pulled it out today it was about 80% black. The juice did seem to get noticably thicker, and the coil actually had raised gunk spots.

I did it though!

On a different note. Every juice besides Orlik taste's completely different lately. O though changing cotton source would help. It hasn't really. It just added to the confusion. It is so perplexing. My buds keep flip flopping around.

On your cotton journey, pick up some KGD if you haven't yet. It's the endgame of cotton for me. Super easy to prep (the easiest of anything), fast wicking, great flavor.

I second that emotion. Kho Gen Do is the bee's knees. Rayon is a 9, but KGD is a 10, even though it burns a little more easily and has to be changed more often. The flavor comes through with a little sticker that goes right to my brain. The sticker reads: "100% Pure Flavor."

It's on right now, but the aros are not part of the sale.

That was the problem then. Think I will wait then cause I was looking at aros for the most part. Took advantage of the 50% off from Real Extracts today though. Figured that would probably be the cheapest way to try them. Kinda feel like an ordering fool lately but my vaping has never been more enjoyable so what the heck, only live once.

What mg do you vape? If you're at 12mg, maybe we can make a trade for some RealEx for Smokin' Cherries and/or Cocoa Blend. (I also have Sweet Georgia Peach if you're interested, but I know you have some of that one already).

Yeah, 12mg is correct. Just ordered so it will be a little till I get it. Not sure how quick they are at processing and shipping and all that. Forgot to say I would be open to it. Doh

I've been using KGD (aka Japanese cotton), but I wanted to use some of the other stuff laying around. I feel wasteful having 84 rounds and just not using any. I rewick after every tank. So, I can burn through cotton.

Just in case... email him again through his website. I know he lost his personal computer sometime after the first of the year and I haven't heard if he got that replaced yet... This way you know he should have at least a recent email from you. You can also make sure the contact issue isn't on your side... log onto your ISP's webmail and check in the spam folder just to double check and play it safe and have ensured the issues isn't something on your side.
Have checked my spam and sent him email on Monday and again this morning. everybody talks about how good this juice is so really hope this works out soon. I only live 100 miles from him :confused:

Your 84 cotton rounds cost 3¢ to grow, 2¢ to manufacture, and might have cost you a buck retail at the dollar store. Put them in your medicine chest and stick with KGD.

My second NET.com order was all at the recommended 70PG/30VG, unlike my first 100VG order. It'll be a good comparison, as I still have a good amount of Black Cavendish for a side-by-side comparison. If I find the PG is too much, I will just place another 100VG order and mix.

Some more odds-and-ends:

GeJ Analog Tobacco and Vita Bella - Another round with these, and I am starting to get friendly with them. Parking them again, and trying them once more in another few weeks.

GeJ Natural Perique: When I first fill up my Origen with some of this, the first draw has a funny vinegar-like taste to it. Subsequent draws are great. That first draw isn't an unpleasant experience, just unexpected. I suspect this is pspecific to my palate. Very powerful flavor in this one, but none of that strong, rough back-end I mentioned about some of the W2V juices I have, which brings me to...

W2V update: I think I will contact the vendor, to ask about my experience, perhaps they can shed some light. The CI Cigar has none of that roughness that I experience in their other juices (as well as the juices I've tried from MOV). Perhaps they can identify what is different between CI Cigar and the other juices I bought.

I picked up a Ph kit as well to test some of my juices, mostly out of curiosity.

Hey guys, long time. I usually just read these days but not a whole lot; been busy with work. Summer is my busiest time of year as all the college kids are out and want pipes.

I've been on a MOV kick lately. Man, I'd forgot how delicious their liquids are. Their re-mastered synth tobaccos are just delicious. They almost taste like NETs. Especially Rangler (sic). Sunday Morning and Full Virginia Flake are better than I remember. White leaf (vanilla tobacco), Rangler and Blue Ridge (Blueberry tobacco) are so dang good. Especially considering they're synths. Outlaw (Oakwood tobacco) is... well, I could take it or leave it. However it's good enough for me to finish the bottle, albeit slowly as I only vape it for a few minutes before loosing interest.

How's everyone been? Life treating everyone well?
