Ok ordered it blindly because the clock was ticking on it being 20% off, one hour left.

Along with that I got the sampler with doubles of Blondie, CI Cigar, Red Pirate, Alcazar, and Coffee-Infused Cigar. Been meaning to try these for many many months. That's about 9 or 10 orders for juice and hardware in the last couple days. Hopefully they will be spaced out well so each day will feel like Christmas for a bit.

All of those cigars are awesome. Red Pirate was surprisingly good as well, so don't be skerred. CI cigar is my favorite (of the Premium line). It's kind of like Blondie light. Blondie was really good, but only vapable in short intervals for me. CI is a botanical-infused cigar, Blondie seemed more like cigar-infused botanicals. :D CI is sweet, smoky, fruity, spicy, woody, herbal - so many things, and beautifully balanced.

I hope you got some atty refresher, and have several atty's on hand! :laugh: (It's so worth it though!)

W2V sent me a 3ml sample at 18mg. I liked it a lot. I ordered a 30ml bottle at 24mg and like that even more. It does taste like tobacco although on the sweet side. If I were to compare it to anything I'd say a cross between Adirondak and Backo from BWB but with it's own personality.

I'm hoping for kind of a spun sugar type sweetness with the tobacco, since the PURE is described as "brings up memories of cotton candy."

I've been reading up on Drew Estate's ACID cigars and it looks like they really are pretty unique in the cigar world, being strongly infused with flavors and needing their own humidor or they'll marry with other cigars. Will be fun trying the CI and The "Blond" from W2V.

Sounds a lot like what I read about the real cigar. Kuba Kuba sounds even more potent. One guy said patchoulli and it tasted like the armpit of a hippy lol. Isn't there a vendor that sells Kuba Kuba as a NET? I'll be picking up an ACID Blondie to see how it compares to the W2V juice.

The sampler comes with a free bottle of atty refresher, but I plan on sticking to RBAs with these dirty birdies.

:lol: Hippy armpit. I get some sandalwood and patchouli in there. The sandalwood makes it a very relaxing vape, almost like an incense.

Quick Nic Juice sells a Kuba Kuba juice and Vulcan Vapes has an exclusive W2V Kuba Kuba (and an RY4 called Rygar).

Cool, thanks man. Planned on ordering from Quick Nic soon anyways. Wonder why W2V doesn't sell the Kuba Kuba on their own site.

I received my new IGO-L yesterday. Thankfully it did included a small length of Kanthal and some wick along with an extra screw and O-rings.:) I'm also thankful that my first attempt at building a coil was successful as there was no room for error with 3 inches of each. :glare:
It' been hitting very well and I like the draw. :vapor: Well, I've been switching between flavors and tonight I've stuck on GeJ Organic. Last week, while vaping it in a disposable dripping atty, I definitely agreed with Scarf-ace and her suggestion that it was reminiscent of coco and pine. Tonight in this RBA it is unmistakably, to me, licorice. Subtle, yet unmistakably, sweet black licorice. :)

After 10 drops Organic x 2 I filled The IGO twice with Vita Bella! :) They realy play nice together.
I've also been playing with my Screw Tank (TiTan Tank at Got Vapes). I finaly got some replacement heads for it and I'm hoping I can rebuild them in the future like I plan to rebuild my ViViNova's in the future. This Screw Tank is a ViViNova on steroids! I Sass you not! It hits twice as good and the replacement heads last twice as long in my experience. I've got it filled with 6ml of Gandalf. :vapor: :vapor: :)

I almost feel like I should apologise for this seeming a little bit like a personal diary. But, heck, nobody else is using it! :unsure: :laugh
I've been truly fascinated lately with the observations by members of this Thread concerning how much different NETs can taste and perform in different delivery devises. I have a few anecdotes that I believe are worthy of note. :)
First off: Smooth Criminal, to me, only works in MM's preferred disposable atty when I've an open mind and a great Buzz! :D
No but, we miss you around here MrMann! I miss your engaging energy and structure! :) GodSpeed!

I see ya Nomo! Has Mr Mann become Daddy Mann yet does anyone know? Interesting about Smooth Criminal. I've only tried it with a Kanger T2. I love the juice but for some reason it makes me cough even at 100% VG and a low (3.2 volts/2.5 ohms) setting on the Twist - Any ideas anyone?


It's Too damn Quiet 'round Here!!!:confused: :evil:
Didn't mean to sound familiar. MM and I never really talked! :D
Just thought I'd try to stir up something in this Ghost Town!!! :toast:

OK Second off: Same Theme!(Kinda) The exact same NET can taste totally different the very next day, in the very same delivery devise, depending upon how you pre-program your brain. :blink:
Lesson learned: Forget about your BP and read every Juice review well salted! :laugh: Oh! I'm having fun! :D :)
I might add that we should watch vendors who's offerings appear to turn 90^ overnight by accident but doubly as well watch out for influences that radically turn 180^ overnight!!!

Hey Hula! I've tried it in 5 devises and the K-2 was the worst! Wow! You vape at very low watts! :blink:
EDIT: I love you Hula, and I like the K-2 with other juices. :oops: Question, can you edit an edit even though you're truly buzzed and don't particularly feel like it? Well I can't! :laugh:

Sounds like Nomo had a good time last night! MrMann's little one is due in a week or 10 days.

I don't have multiple juice systems so flavors stay pretty consistent unless I'm having one of those taste bud days. I know I have to buy some gear.

The most amazing thing about juices to me is how much they change over time, usually for the better. All of the Ahlusion stuff I've tried has continued to get better beyond two weeks.

No need to apologise brudduh. I enjoy your late night observations, and your funny when you get loopy lol.

I'm with ya on not only JDS, but time of day and and even mood effects how I perceive a juice. Along with hydration level, foods eaten and other flavors vaped recently, etc.. That's a great benefit to good old disposable atties for me, something not working at the moment just start dripping a different juice.

I see ya Nomo! Has Mr Mann become Daddy Mann yet does anyone know? Interesting about Smooth Criminal. I've only tried it with a Kanger T2. I love the juice but for some reason it makes me cough even at 100% VG and a low (3.2 volts/2.5 ohms) setting on the Twist - Any ideas anyone?

Is it a too much throat hit kind of cough? If so, Ahl seems to have more TH than most others. Their 12mg feels like most vendors 18mg to me, so I usually get the non-aros and non-tobacco juices a level below my normal. They seem to provide good kick with high vg juices to. I have the Chai Latte at 18mg and 90% vg and it kicks the same as other 18mg high pg juices.

Me too, Hula. Loaded into a 2.5 ohm Kanger T3 at 4.4 volts, my 18mg 40/60 Smooth Criminal makes me cough. Not every hit, but some. I have to turn down the voltage to 4.0 to reduce the irritant below the cough threshold. Even with the coughing thing, SC is still one of my standby juices. It's certainly the most unusual and distinctive caramel-tobacco blend I've ever vaped.

Is it a too much throat hit kind of cough?

Not really, Jerms. Oh, I suppose there might be a connection, but whatever the irritant is doesn't translate for me as caused directly by TH. It's more a mystery overload, not easily attributed to any particular quality of the juice. Maybe I'm allergic to one of the flavorings.

I normally vape either 18mg or 24mg and almost never experience any lung reactions---only rarely with specific juices, SC being one.
