Nicoticket Family Virtual Vapemeet and eLiquid Support Group v.2.0

[Megan Kogijiki Ratchford]

Wow, I first tried to start this thread from the beginning...
Anyway, new vaper, long lurker, will be a first time Nicoticket user.
What do I need to start with, besides the Frenilla? $$ will hit Friday, so I need to be prepared - should I order x and then get Frenilla the next day or so to start my journey?
I like vanilla in my limited vaping, I just discovered Deadly Sin and Black Fairy, which I have gone quickly through (more on order there too.
I leave myself open to your capable a knowledgeable hands.
BTW - on a ego mega twist with mini protanks until my SVD comes in. I know I will be getting rbd/rba asap, too but I am stuck with my limited gear for now. Smoker 1 pack day --> 1 cig day for the last 5 days @ 12 mg

Welcome to the family!! I say CLS. CB and GCD for certain and size is up to you...Congrats on no stinkies!!

 

[Shane Bappe]

Just so we're clear... I actually have no problems at all with Nicoticket or any of you guys. In fact, I actually really respect the fact that you are loyal enough to the product and company to spend time in this thread, and get defensive if someone says something negative about it.

In this particular case, I wrote a post comparing various custards, and didn't mention a word about Nicoticket - positive or negative. Kent took it upon himself to leave a comment declaring his custard the best based on an unofficial poll in which to my knowledge their custard won with 50 total votes. Up until that point, I hadn't really thought twice about the Best of ECF Poll, but since Kent brought it up, I felt compelled to share my opinion. Which is just that, my opinion. For obvious reasons, I wouldn't expect anyone reading this to agree, but that's ok. My point is, had Kent not said anything, I probably would have not thought twice about the Best of ECF poll.

Nicoticket's Custard may well be the best custard out there. I don't know because I have not tried it. Almost every eliquid company has a custard flavor, and I only compared 11 of them so far. That is a pretty small drop in the bucket. Had they reached out to me and asked to be included, they would have been. I'm not looking for any free handouts, and I pay for almost every juice I review out of pocket. That said, there are a lot of juices on my list to buy, and this particular one is not a priority for me at this time, although I have to admit my curiosity has been piqued. Chances are, I probably will pick some up in the future to evaluate, and I already fully intend to do another custard battle as there are some really obvious ones that were not included the fist time around. Bottom line - don't get upset that you weren't included if you didn't make any effort to get yourself included. If it's on me to do it on my own dime, then you have to wait just like everyone else until I feel like it. There are a lot more vapers out there interested in custard flavors than the 50 who voted for Nicoticket, and I am more interested in catering to a broad range of people who aren't sure what to buy rather than a small group of people who already have made their decision.

And most importantly please note that I will approve and reply to every comment left on my site, so if you intend to stop by and say something positive or negative, you are more than welcome to, but please expect that I will likely have my own opinion as well.

I think I like this guy now.

Still wouldn't put any stock in his reviews though. But I don't put much stock in any juice reviews. Juice is subjective in my eyes. Too many juices people have raved over that I thought were disgusting and vice versa.

 

[Kent Brooks]

I kinda wish I didn't go and read his reply to your post Kent. I am not generally the type that gets wound up...ever... this got my heart started as a light bump, slowly turning to a thud, in the end it was RAGE!!!! I'm shaking (possible nic buzz)

Eh - taste is subjective. Half the people in that round-up I've never heard of... and Yaeliq is his 3rd favorite custard. More power to him for putting his opinion out there...

 

[glowplug]

That makes sense...thanks Glo! I guess I was thinking about it in comparison to my kayfun...I put a coil and a cotton wick in it, fill it, and go. And I can run 3-4 tanks through it before I have to rewick and dry burn. And the coil lasts forever (month at least). I guess I don't know enough about carto tanks because I was thinking they were fiddly when it comes to swapping the carto out when it's kicked. But I didn't realize they lasted that long. Learn somethin' new every day around here!

My next one will be a Kayfun or something like it. Sounds like a perfect solution to the dripper/tank issue for me.

I actually have one from Totally Wicked that is a dripper/tank thingy. I just broke it down to clean it and get my first coil attempt out of it. I bought it when I was a brand new vaper and had NO idea what I was doing. It has been sitting there just staring at me for months. Now I will try again, if I can get the negative post to stay on...it came off and the screw is pretty short...having trouble getting it to unscrew enough to take the coil leg without coming off the deck completely.

Typing that, it occurred to me that the screw is over tightened and I will need to hold the sleeve with my needle nose pliers to get the screw to loosen. Later. Now I have to get a few things done and go to Walmart. I don't like shopping in B&M stores unless they are vape shops!!!

 

[Shane Bappe]

I should mention that I am a fan of the iclear 30. The old one. I haven't tried the iclear 30s or 30b or 30whatever. I don't like paying for heads and I will be rebuilding soon. I have two that came with my two MVPs and they are also a no fiddle clearo. Good flavor, good warmth and a bit of a juice hog with their 3,462 wicks but hey, ya just can't have everything, right? My Aerotank needs a head cleaning so I have set it aside. I am busy right now and don't want to play with it even to change the head. Maybe I am lazy. The iclear is doing just fine!

I've got the 30S or whatever came with the VTR and I don't like it. I haven't even run a full tank through it since I got it 3 months ago-ish.

 

[glowplug]

No disrespect to California, but no thanks... I like the Midwest for now - simple - low cost of living - good schools - low crime - low unemployment - virtually no traffic. Still no NFL team though ARGH.

Right there with ya on this one! I haven't left anything in CA that I need to go back and retrieve LOL!

They are just so damn unfriendly to trucks that I got tired of jumping through their hoops. I don't want to spend $15K on a retrofit particulate filter for the Pete! I will need about $20K to rebuild soon...she has 1.6million+ miles on here, 1million on the inframe that we did a few years ago. Either time for a new truck or major rebuild on this one. $15K, if I had it, would be one heck of a down payment.

 

[Claudia P]

My only complaint with the IClear 30s is that it seems to cook the juice pretty quickly, only good description I can think of right now is vaping Legendary which is a banana nut bread is before I could finish the tank the bread was tasting burnt. On a fresh tank the flavor is great.

I read this on another thread I was browsing. Sounds like the iclear 30s hasn't gotten as much love as the iclear 30.

Here's a video trying to find it on their site again

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOvbvhVL4bw&feature=youtube_gdata_player

That's just a slap yo mama tool, or similar carto filling tool. I got mine from somewhere pretty cheap. Can't find it right now as it's not coming up in my gmail when searching for carto tool and I forgot what it was called exactly.

Google on "Slap Yo Mama" (the original design) and then just "cartomizer tool" and "cartomizer tank filler" and you'll find a bunch of different styles that all do the same thing.

Cartomizer Tank Filler Adapter - Avid Vaper
Carto Tank Refilling Tool Silver

Refilling Tool - SmokTech - for DCT Tanks - ECBlend same as above, but cheaper


PS sorry if this was already answered but I'm getting too many windows here holding replies to see if they were already answered. LOL

 

[Lois2013]

well, I just saw the lead time so I guess I will need to place a small one now before payday...suggestions?

The lead time guidance is just a conservative estimate to set the proper expectations (i.e. Under promise and over deliver)
I have never had an NT order take longer than 3 days from order to vape YMMV though...but just sayin'

 

[gjustin79]

Finally cracking this guy open today.. Brought him to work with me because I'm getting vaper tongue with CB lol.

I STILL have a 15ml bottle nearly full from mid-October... One of my very first NT orders.. 16ish weeks..? I am saving it for who knows what. It is BLACK.. XD

 

[CheriePie]

I'll back it up for you, no problem.

Heck glow, you could even drive it if you wanted. It's much smaller than your rig so you'd probably handle my RV like you were driving a sports car!

 

[CheriePie]

I know everyone's excited about this but I probably wouldn't be able to go. Work will be insanely busy by then and I probably couldn't afford it anyways..

Clark why don't you move to CA? We have fresh Japanese radiated beaches, high taxes and cost of living, and vaping bans left and right. Who wouldn't want to live here!?'

No disrespect to California, but no thanks... I like the Midwest for now - simple - low cost of living - good schools - low crime - low unemployment - virtually no traffic. Still no NFL team though ARGH.

I think Justin forgot to turn on the [sarcasm] tag.

 

[Kent Brooks]

Good Morning, Nicoticket fans.....I do not know if I am a fan of the juice yet, or not. First order is in the mail. But I do know I am already a fan of the customer service. For my first order, I got a notice from Clark that he added a few drops extra in some of the bottles as a show of appreciation for the order. That's great customer service in my book....shows he does care about his customers and their vaping experience. That got me as excited as a 30% off Kohls' coupon.

I just cleaned out my juice storage boxes and threw many old bottles away.....laughing at some of the early ones which were still mostly full because of the awful taste. That chemical taste and smell is lingering in my storage bins. Eliquid taste and offerings have come a long way. I am looking forward to trying these.

Hey Glam! There's no such thing as an eliquid panacea - I hope it pleases your palate! You're very welcome on the overfills - par for the course around here - never made sense to me why anyone would send a bottle that was anything less than filled. LOL To me, even if I got exactly what I paid for... surprise and delight is the order of the day!

 

[Kent Brooks]

If you are like me, you'll want to order 500ml bottle. It's just pure, unbridled vanilla, the likes of which have never been experienced in this world, or any other that I know of. No egg or Carmel like in the others you mentioned.
To put it another way, I've lost 28 lbs since getting on board with NT juices, because they taste way better than any of the desserts I used to consume nightly. Hope that helps

28#, really?

Is there an actual BB code for sarcasm...?? Lol.

Yeah Clark, I was just kidding bro.. LOL...

Haha yeah, I have been avoiding leaving the house at all costs lately, besides work (well....actually...even then lol...just took two days off!) I'm hibernating because of the weather.

I agree, RBA's can be wicked intimidating...I was scared by them before I tried. The Kayfun clone I have (Tobeco) couldn't be easier though!! Definitely try it out...it's the best vape I've had so far out of anything I've tried (dripping, clearos, cartos, etc)

It's actually not a filling tool. I've got a SYM and it does what it's designed to do very well. The Cartodriver is more of a tool to seal a standard sized tank when a carto goes bad without removing the juice. It can't really be used as a refilling tool because of it's length.

 

[Kent Brooks]

Can you give us any idea on when? I've got a bit of traveling coming up, several weekend events, and family visiting in June, so if you've got an approximate date I can throw in my calendar to try to keep open, that'd help make sure I can make it (assuming I'm not already booked).

That said, 24 hour drive to Omaha for me so the 4 hour plane flight will probably be the way to go for me. Should hopefully be able to get there with Mike's mileage points though so cost would be minimal.

We are just kicking it around - we haven't gotten around to nailing down dates... probably May-June though. I hope to have a date nailed down in the next couple weeks. It's not going to be crazy over the top... probably get a block of rooms, hit a few local restaurants and get some eats, maybe head out to see a show, or hit the casino and cause some trouble... hit up some local vape shops and fondle some mods... BBQ - we're just tossing around ideas at the moment.

 

[AnotherADDiction]

Thanks all, as I sit here only able to use one tank because of burnt heads, I think I will eat the double shipping and order something.
As I need to supply my wifee, who is newer than I (menthol Newport light smoker) who dug some watermelon and tangerine liquids, I will definately get Gravity (G?) and Betelgeus(B?) to get her going - I am all over, and I am sure that I will get crushed by the virus too.
Obviously, they are all good and required, but I also see I put CLS and the Virus in my cart...hmmm...about 34.00 - I will press go unless I hear differently sooon - should I dump virus for CB or SNC?
And yes, I know I will be kicking myself for the sampler sizes, but I will be ordering again Feb 1 when Frenilla is out and I have some money in my account.
Wow, I realize that I wont even have this one before the other and then I will want to get bigger sizes, should I get ones that I wont like so much now????
Now, you see my ID is quite fitting
IU am seriously thinking of just sending money and throwing myself at the mercy of the good doctor, Kent & Co.
Thanks
