No need to thank me; I enjoyed what I did. And I see you are a gunsmith. We usually hold a couple of firearms raffles every year as fundraisers; last one was a S&W M&P 15 with upgrades (sights, tac. light, custom rails, 2 high capacity mags, case and sling).

The Wrangler Light didn't wow me either. The Full Throttle is pretty good, and I have a small sample of Bull Durham to try yet as well.

Sometimes a smith, sometimes a glass artist. That's great that you really enjoy it. M&P15 is a nice rifle! Especially with a sling, rail, and light.

I am diggin' on Organic tobacco #1. Fire Cured is pretty good, too. But I think they need more time.

I haven't tried the OT #1 yet. Maybe I'll pick some up tomorrow and start steeping it. Damn I love having them right near by lol.

The Apple Cured is really good - I've been going to that when RY4 and Congo Craze get just too cloying. Also Vita Bella really hits nice with notes of some sweet spice that I can't quite pinpoint but really enjoy. Oddly enough I'm not a fan of the 555 though. I still need to re-visit my Natural Perique as well.

Edit: On a side note, I slipped in an order at AVE today. Got me the "Big 3" - BB, GJ, and Hype. Haven't ever had any of them so I'm looking forward to it.

That's awesome, Shatner! I'm sure you're feeling a bit nervous and apprehensive about it, but that will pass the moment you two see each other face to face. It'll be like old times.

Hey, maybe you can do some customizing on one of our next raffle items? We would plug you on our web site too - we have over 2,000 members that visit there off and on and I'm sure it would drum up some side business for you if you wanted it. Customizing hand cannons and street howitzers for Marines and former Marines....wouldn't that be fun? :)

Today I got some goodies in my vape mail. I got the ebaron dripper which arrived only 6 days after I had ordered it from HouseofMods and I also got the Itaste VV 3 mod and an Iclear30 which i am using on the ITaste.

Hey same here. I snagged an ebaron pro from the classies and received it today. Just got it setup about 20min ago and rockin' some Caribbean blend. This little dripper performs great.

You'll probably like BB and GJ. Hype is... well, hype, imo. But a ton of people love it!

I've finished my sampling and am now vaping some Apple Cured from GeJ.

I'm sure it'll be fine. I'm mostly worried because it's been about 14 years since I've been in a gym. I'm not obese, slightly overweight, though. 5'8 ~200lbs. But at least I can now breathe without the cigarettes. I'm curious to see if vaping has any/much effect.

And yeah, I'd love to help y'all out by customizing some raffle prizes! I'd be honored.

I went through the process of becoming a Verified Member on Tuesday so that I can make some purchases off the classys myself. Hope it doesn't take too much longer.

I am vaping the Apple Cured as well. After it finally settling in and I forgotten about it, can't seem to put it down now. Wish I had more, will have to go through the process of ordering and letting it steep again. It changed from a sour apple with low tobacco notes, to some tobacco coming out and it being more granny smith style a few weeks later. Now it blends perfectly like a sweet red apple and great tobacco notes behind it. Kind of enjoyed the journey of this juice.

Order 2 bottles. That way you can vape one while the other ages. ;)

Well I figured that if I didn't like the Hype by itself, it sounded like something that would go well mixed with pure tobacco flavored juices that just don't play well on my palate.

5' 8" and 200 isn't that bad. I'm 5' 8" and 255! My Corps weight was 185. Stupid sweets and sedentary lifestyle...

I'll run it by the other officers of my chapter and see what they say. Let me know what kind of magic you can cast on weapons in a PM or something so I can sell it to them a little easier.

Oh I will, Wrangler I ended up not enjoying actually because it has turned into an analog lol. That's what I wanted at the time but now after sampling other NETs and getting away from analogs I will just keep it for someone just switching. I miss The Patriot as well and that has been long gone. Organic Tobacco #1 turned almost black in color after the steep and has also changed tastes dramatically. Would consider getting it again as it is a nice vape. I have yet to try the Vita Bella and have heard many good things about it. Maybe even throw in Acadian Gold to try.

Have my first APV on the way, a Vamo. And will try to get into RBAs as well, need more NETs >.<

That's pretty much what I get out it as well - a nice, clean, crisp apple flavor with tobacco notes. No one flavor seems to overpower the other; they meld together is a harmonious accord and compliment one another very well. I concur with your assessment of how the apple flavor itself transforms during the steeping process as well. Sour at first, then fairly tart with some modest steep time, and now at 4 weeks it's a sweeter apple flavor.

The Wrangler Light and the M-Type Light are ones that seem to have the analog taste to them. Patriot is just awesome, period. Vita Bella is a sweet, spicy little thing. I can't seem to figure out exactly what is going on with her, but she's delicious. I went into GeJ last Friday to pick up some kanthal wire and wicking material and Nick had a 30 ml. bottle of 24 mg. VB sitting in the display case. He pulled it out and said "here, you like the Vita Bella don't you?" I usually vape 16-18 mg. but I wasn't about to turn down a freebie!

Man you are lucky. I don't dislike Wrangler Light. It came out to be exactly what it's supposed to be and an awesome juice for people looking for that exact taste when first switching over. Patriot was awesome and didn't let it fully steep, I think it was gone after a week with a 3ml left for longer steeping which was quickly finished as well. Any thoughts on the Acadian Gold?

Wrangler Light NAILS, a commercial cigarette flavor. There's a tad bit of cocoa in the tobacco he extracts from. Marboro lights also have a slight cocoa note, along with other cigs. WL is just like smoking a Marb light, minus the burning paper and with more complexity to the tobacco. Has the slight funky GeJ signature flavor. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but wasn't in the mood to vape it terribly often.

I haven't tried it yet. It's one that's on my list, but I keep forgetting to pick up a bottle of it when I'm there. I get to talking to Nick and forget what I even went in there for in the first place! Think I'm going to have to pick up some of that tomorrow as well lol.

The M-Type Light Lab Juice is really close to dead-on to being an analog in flavor as well. I have a friend in the city who really loved the sample I gave him of M-Type and got him the 30 ml. of it the next time I went in there. He says it's just like a Marlboro Light to him.

GJ should be given an applause for that. I know most people if not all are looking for that exact flavor to help transition and more should know about it. Wrangler Light to me tasted exactly like a Marlboro light, maybe with a mix of Camel light. Even tasted the burning paper, or maybe my Ego was set too high. :vapor: No one else has come that close to a flavor of a cig. Acadian Gold looks interesting and will be ordering a sample of that and Vita, along with bigger sizes of Patriot (Needs to sell by the gallon), and Apple Cured.

LOL...I've told him he needs to sell 60's and 120's, hell even 240's. Maybe he will one day...
