[He's My Everything]

I love SI - I really do. I love this community and I love this forum. I'm trying really really hard not to be frustrated right now. I've gotten my husband ALMOST there - he really likes the VOLT - he's found two SI flavors (vanilla & ice menthol) that he really thinks he can vape on a regular basis and will satisfy his cravings enough to get him off analogs. The problem is, if I can't keep him in supplies on a consistent basis, he runs the risk of going backwards, instead of forwards on his quest to be free of analogs. I was under the impression that this last shipment was going to erase the stocking issues almost entirely. I ordered the morning after everyone spent all night getting everything stocked and put on the website. Why did I just get a call saying something I wanted was out of stock? I honestly don't get it. I am not hasseling Imagine, folks - I'm really not (I know very well how hard she and the rest of the staff work) and I guess I'll get the cold shoulder for daring to ask this, but... If SI knows that their product is super popular and hard to keep on their shelves... If they know that the Chinese New Year disrupts shipping.... If they know that their loyal customers are getting even a teensy bit fed up... why don't they order significantly more than they (reasonably) think they need? Especailly when they know that a great big wad of Volties are standing by, ready to decimate their stocks because they've been waiting for so long for the things they want to come in? I really don't get it. Yes, yes, I know they are worth the wait, but c'mon. It shouldn't be like winning the lottery to get these products.

Just a sad, frustrated vent... I'll get over it.

The VOLT featured on the Vapeteam Show :

Thanks for sharing this Imagine!!! i really liked the review and the show itself was very informative and cool too so I'm glad it's out there helping the vaping community!
*For you Volties that don't have time to watch the whole video, the Volt review starts at 14 minutes and 17 seconds.

I am going through a similar situation. My hubby just can't seem to knock the ciggys. He's doing well, down to about 5 a day....but until I can get him a great, thickly smoky e-juice and a Volt, (still waiting on monies, in tomorrow) he's going to keep at them. I'll let everyone know how he does when my bigger part of hubby-'speriment continues

....and I hope you guys left me something to order, lol!!!

My favorites are from Sweet-Vapes (yum, double flavoring) and KickBass Vapor, but lately, since I don't have a job and just got cut off from steady funds, I've had to resort to places that sell in large quantities cheap (5 oz = 148ml, 180ml, etc.) to get by. Then I end up with that one flavor for about month or so, which really isn't as bad as it sounds. TastyVapor.us is very tasty, BlueMistVapor has a pretty good variety (but a little weaker on the flavor - 15% max and they don't do special requests), and I'm about to try Vapor Renu next (wholesale pricing, a ton of flavors, up to 30% flavoring, and I'm intrigued by adding Vitamin B12 into it). But there are tons out there. Just google what you're craving (followed by "e-liquid"), and you'll find a bunch of places that have that flavor, complete with reviews.

Hi!! Thank you soo much for all that awesome info!!! That's cool that you can get double flavor at Sweet-Vapes! I like my flavors pretty strong and flavorful! I have limited income so I also tried BlueMist Vaping for their great prices on large quantities, flavor selection and good reviews. I bought a 180ml bottle of Cotton Candy from them for the lowest price I've seen so far and I really like the juice! i can't comment on the strength of the flavor though because I blend 37% of it with Wowboy just to cut the harshness of Wowboy and give it a touch of sweetness. I wish I could go sweeter with it but then the flavor of Wowboy gets really diminished. The wholesale place sounds awesome! I'm going to check them out! Thank you again for the great info!

First - IMO - You shouldn't have to get "OVER IT" . . .

Once more - Just my opinion - it was Your personal experience and You are entitled to be fraustrated when a situation like that happens - especially to YOU ! ! !

AGAIN - IMO - ANY "Rant", especially one based on real frustration - I would imagine (no not her - personal) would be greatly appreciated from "Imagine" and Smokeless Image - particularly since it gives them a more personal view on the real life expectations of their product "supply and demand" from a customers perspective . . .

More importantly - It Is REAL ! ! ! especially the realistic view of what it is to be told one thing and then wait so long and be totally disappointed in the final outcome . . . And from her past post & even personal experience - I know "Imagine" is always grateful for "Real" Feedback - be it Bad or Good

How else is Smokeless Image and "Imagine" going to know . . .

Oh and BTW: I would imagine (again not her - personal) almost everyone "Feels" your same disappointment and fraustation at least at one time or another . . .

I know I do

What does everyone do with flavors of juice you don't like? Ya know, the ones there is no way in the world you would put up to your mouth again..... ever?! lol

I started giving mine away in the Treasure Chest thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...pif-group-treasure-chest-revised-edition.html so other people can enjoy them! Different strokes for different folks! Experimenting with them by blending them with other flavors is also an option!

 

[VaVaunt]

HELP!!!! Where do you guys order your blank e-juice supplies? What would you buy to get started at making some of your own flavors up? Can you use the bottles you will get when ordering 'bases' or will you need more? What kind, etc?
TY

 

[kblush]

You do not have to give but you have to wait 30 days to take another after you have taken something. It is a nice way to try new things or to give things away that are collecting dust.

Sometimes the person giving asks you have given in the past so many days or other little things. It's fun!

If you post wrong they will politely correct you and help out.

Thank you so much for sharing this Laura!! i was cloudy on some of the rules too!

May i ask what you ordered? I have placed ordered every week of the last month and never had an issue?? Just curious cause If you look around the website nothing says it out of stock. Thanks

welcome propagandax

I would say 80/20 pg vg and 18mg should be giving you good throat hit... if not instead of uping the nic you might want to try to add a drop of menthol or a citrus like a lime...

yes our liquids are the same flavors as the prefills

So this time around I ordered some blank cartos. Noticed all the juices I am filling with have almost no throat hit now, the other cartos I was using (some 808 pack i got at the mall) i got throat hit. So I am wondering if these might have more resistance or something? most of the juices are from vaporbomb 80/20 18mg and one is local brew at 50/50 ry4 24mg. Anyways I am still trying to find a daily vape, its been so long since I tried the SI sample packs but I remember liking watermelon, grape, and desert joe. Any thoughts or suggestions, i have always read good things about the SI cartos.

One more question, are the SI bottled juices the same as the pre-filled? ok one more , Do users experience good throat hit from any particular juices?

 

[kblush]

That never occurred to me. Thanks for posting the link. I figured once I opened a bottle of juice, it was a used item. But if people don't have an issue with that, then I'll consider posting some of the Gourmet Vapor samples that didn't sit well with me. It's better than throwing them away.

Awesome!! i thought it was great when i found out about it too! i saw a bunch of give aways with partly used juices and I gave mine away that way too and people wanted them the next day after I offered them!

Thanks for the reply. I admit I am using somebody elses juices here and they might not be steeped . Anyways my plan (which you will like) is to get some more prefills, determine what I like (finally), and then switch to SI juice. I am just so tired of inconsistency and want something I can rely on. Hell I smoked the same cigarette brand for 15 years straight so I think i can narrow it down to 3 or 4 I like, lol

 

[Imagine]

just try not to leave them in the cold... cold discharges a battery like a car battery...

G'Mornin' to you too kblush !

Yes - you can charge the batteries long before they are depleted. I used to set mine up to charge before I went to bed.

On the power pack: After we talked about it yesterday, I dug mine out so that I could recharge it. Now it isn't made by the same manufacturer, but mine still had almost all of its charge after sitting idle for four or five months.

it's groundhog day lol? i had no idea .... did he see his shadow?

Good morning, everyone. Happy Groundhog Day!

Thank you for the info. Rave!! I'm really thinking about getting one when I can get the money together for it! it can sit there with my battery operated lantern waiting for the next blackout!

what did they say was out of stock? we should not be out of stock on any cartos...

because we did exactly that and ordered a tremendous amount of cartos and batts...

well if the juices are 80vg 20pg might explain the throat hit issues...

most people say they like the th from SI juices...which are mostly PG

[He's My Everything]

May i ask what you ordered? I have placed ordered every week of the last month and never had an issue?? Just curious cause If you look around the website nothing says it out of stock. Thanks

I ordered a bunch of prefilled cartos, a 78mm blue batt (He wanted to see the difference in vape time between 65mm & 78mm and his favorite color is blue) and some blingy stuff (a sparkly wrap and a diamond cap), just for me to play around with - mostly to give him a hard time about being boring. LOL

I'm not sure which was out of stock - I got a message to call, because part of my order was out. I've called back, but got voicemail. I'll let you guys know when I find out.
