One thing that is not necessary...convincing Dusty that steeping is required. He makes Eleanor look like a piker. :)

Lol good to know, thanks B.

Got my CravinVapes order today that I ordered the day before yesterday, new record for me with usps. Meanwhile my RTD orders of IGO-L and batteries that were do a couple days ago are sitting in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I need to find a vender close to me that has good battery chargers, I don't want to be VAMOless for over a week.

GeJ went through.. although shipping was $22.95. :facepalm:

Natural Perique Tobacco eJuice

Patriot Tobacco eJuice

Vita Bella Tobacco eJuice

On to MOV..

And more IMO...minimum steep time on those GeJ juices

NP....1 month
Patriot....2 weeks
Vita Bella...2 months

And they keep getting better beyond. No smoke juice I have experienced changes more (and for the better) than Vita Bella. It went from nasty in-your-face to utterly delightful. I know GT agrees. We got ours the same time and both had the same impression (Kaboom!!!). I gave up on it. After a couple/few months and he told me to give it another go. I was richly rewarded for my patience.

LOL.. yeah, I've steeped juices for 4 - 6 months before vaping them. Standard HHV steep time is around 2 months for me. I might do a quick drip test when I get them, then I put them away. I'm a patient man.. ;)


MOV order placed:
Mountain Oak Vapor Pack 30ML
[1st Flavor:Tennessee Gold Label - Pendragon]
[2nd Flavor:Tennessee Gold Label - Sunday Morning]
[3rd Flavor:Tennessee Gold Label - Southern Gentleman]
[1st Bottle:0.9% (9mg)]
[2nd Bottle:0.9% (9mg)]
[3rd Bottle:0.9% (9mg)]


They didn't have a 12mg option so went lower instead of 18. Shipping here was $19.95.


Oh, I just received my shipping notification for the GeJ order.. Seriously!!!

Last time I ordered from GeJ it was 18 minutes from confirmation notice to shipping notice. Sounds like they are slowing down. :)

17 minutes for me. Picking up speed I would say.. 4:15 confirmation, 4:32 shipping notification.. That's just crazy! Surely they must be printing the shipping notification and attaching to the order, but not actually shipping out at that time right? Right?!

The good thing is that both GeJ and MOV are on kinda on the east coast, which means they should make it here in a week or so.

Bronze, have you ordered VB again since the first bottle and gotten the same result? I've found once I like a juice the required steep time often shortens. Not always, but it's nice when I find out a juice doesn't need months like when I first get it.

Yes Jerms. I have one from 2/1/2013. I vaped some of it just a few days ago for the first time and it is good...not at pique to be certain, but still good. I kind of have an attraction to things that get better with age. It's always nice to look forward than behind. :)

As an added thought...I shook this bottle frequently. It is smoother and mellower than at the same time as my previous bottle of VB. As steeping is nothing more than flavor molecules bonding, it stands to reason. Shaking smoke juice is everything it is cracked up to be. So the takeaway is....

...have you shaken your juice lately?

Yeah, but I'm guessing it'll be sent out today too. Nick from GeJ has an alarm system that alerts him when any new orders are placed from the house-brewed line. He drops whatever he's doing, whether fighting a fire or delivering a baby, and goes straight to the order.

Just because I made it up doesn't mean it's not true, including Vita Bella is made with unicorn mild.

About my CV order, I forget who but someone was wondering if they'll get the free straw/kiwi sample even though there order was below $10 before shipping. My order was $4.80 before shipping and they included the sample, so chances are good.

I still have a throw-in bottle of pink lemonade from CV. Forgot all about it. Maybe I'll crack it open the next time I feel a little sideways.

GeJ is in/near ChiTown Dust.

The results of yesterday's MOV revisit weren't great. Pendragon, even in a RBA, is still too weak to be of any use to me. Sunday Morning has improved just enough that I'm willing to forgive and give it a shot.

Southern Gentleman has a bit of funk that I wasn't expecting. This one is interesting.

Did you get PenD before or after the change in extract amount? We are definately tasting it different, which is common but I'm usually right on board with you. That's one juice many think is weak and some get a whole lot of flavor.
