Bwahahaha , I could only imagine!
Be vewy, vewy, vewy, careful...sometimes when you can find deals like those in the classies (daily), it takes the idea of savings and negates the whole concept. I have to stay out of the classies unless I am selling something.

I once tried their "Cigrawr". I was excited because the reviews stated "taste just like a cigar!" It was awful. Nothing like a cigar or tobacco. I was tempted to leave a horrible review on the site for true cigar lovers, but I stuck to my morals and did not try to hurt them. Yes, I'm better than you. Stick you head in doo doo.

I forgot to add that this is on their "signature vapes" list. Only thing signature about that was caca.

Luce, I appreciate the kind instinct of "if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" that stopped you from reviewing negatively. But if someone ordered Cigrawr without checking this thread first, how would they know how terrible it is? One could make an argument that it would be kinder for you to balance the positive reviews with a truthful one from a cigar conoisseur like you. After all, you judged the quality of this juice (positive) based on a review on the site. Perhaps other potential buyers should also benefit from your wisdom?

Just saying. Not trying to stir up argument.:)

That's a really good point. I guess once I was over my anger I never went back to review it. Since it's been awhile, I can't review it as thoroughly as I'd like. I didn't want to emotionally review something and say something I would later regret. That's usually what I do when I'm angry.

I like the buyer beware concept... But I personally refrain from publicly posting negative reviews (If you want them from me, feel free to send me a PM and I will happily rant about the stuff that I didn't like, haha). I feel like even if I didn't like it, my subjective taste that is... It doesn't mean someone else won't. Like Cigrawr for example... If I hated it and posted such, would it possible stop someone from buying it that actually might have loved it? That is my personal rational, nothing more, nothing less... I just would feel bad if a review I posted steered someone away from what "might" have been their favorite juice ever?

P.S. I will always rave about something I like... So if you know I got something, but never said anything about it... It probably sucked, LOL.

I disagree. But I will leave it at that 'cause I'm all about peace;)

I tried something different with the Borkum Riff Vanilla: instead of cooking overnight, then resting, then two more cycles of cook/rest, I did one continuous 14 hour cook. It has strained and is resting. I haven't even taken a taste.
you don't really believe that do you? LOL

Next experiment is pending. And I publicly promise that no matter what, I will not turn into a DIY snob;)

Hey Scarface how's the GeJ doing in your carto's?

I think you asked me that last when I was starting off a tankful of Wrangler right? Well I vaped that tank nearly dry with nary a problem. GEJ also works well in a bottom-feeder with a regular old Boge carto .

Clearomizers are another story. Both Wrangler and Symphonie Fantastique (O#1 + Perique) tarred them up pretty quickly.

Thats right I ask about the wrangler....I have had the same issues with VN after about 1 tank full had to dry burn.With DCT after about 2 5ml tanks starts changing where with non nets I can probably go 2 weeks with same carto or longer.I have to decide if worth it to me are not with them setups.

But definately keeping in dripping arsenal the juices are to good not too!Fire Cured,Wrangler lite are some awesome Net's..

Quick update on the VV debacle: after two days of capless steeping I tried it last night. It still looks and tastes like vomit. Here's a picture:

I wouldn't forget you! But before my "site" goes live, I'll have to move to a country where selling this is legal. Not in the immediate future.

I hope to keep doing this until it's no longer fun for me. Y'all will know when that happens;)

I could slang it for ya'! LOL.


Are you going to ask for your money back?


Anything less would be support for that "juice."


Isn't it amazing that a couple drops of TA in a PG/VG mix could be sold for damn near a dollar a mL? Wow, that is highway, well, you know.

Let's talk. :) PM on its way.

When mine arrives, I plan to ask for a refund. I did order a few other things besides the baccos, but I wouldn't have bothered. I'll still be out the shipping. I hope the Drunken Pirate Pudding and Caramel Milkshake subsidize the rest of the order.

I followed Nick's lead and mixed up a 10ml batch of Frankenjuice from equal parts Patriot and Vita Bella. I changed the recipe, however, by adding another equal measure of AltCig Bavarian Cream and five drops of Capella butter flavoring. Wow. Smooth and delicious.

The rhetorical (and probably moot) question I have to ask myself is: Why do I keep buying more new juices---no matter how good they may be---when I can make something so yummy out of stock I already have? (Don't answer that... LOL)

Hey...turns out TE was exactly what I needed! Seems certain Chinese companies are getting stingy with it. I didn't even dilute it first, I just quickly dipped the end of a toothpick into the TE and then stirred the dipped end around in about 3ml of test juice. Nice Turkish exhale is back. It'll get me by until I get some of the good NET stuff to try...Thanks all!!:)
