Saw a first today!

We dropped by our fav brunch spot late dis AM. Sat out on da patio since da weather was so pleasant. As I vaped my DIY blueberry filled iTaste/BVC, I noted five, yes I said five, other geriatric vapers; four outside and one stealther inside! eGo batts and clearos must have been on da daily special menu.

A vaping couple down sat at da next table. She asked what smelled so good. We got to share our vaping histories. She had smoked cigs and he cigars. Been vaping two years. Told 'em 'bout da ECF, but dey didn't seem interested; even after revealing how much my joose cost. They're diehard Totally Wicked fans.

Now, my question is, what would you call a group of senior vapers? Maybe a porch of vapers?

Ethyl alcohol, you'll want to give it a really good shake after its mixed, and then let it sit overnight with the cap off to let the alcohol evaporate. Some people put the bottle in a hot water bath, or an ultrasonic cleaner with hot water, or zap it in the microwave for 10 seconds to speed the process. I just leave the top off overnight.

Natural vs. artificial, I don't care about. I care about whether I like the taste or not. I prefer some natural flavors and some artificial flavors. YMMV.

Ok then , Im sort of the same just was thinking maybe natural is less likely to have any chemical taste.
That place doesn't seem to give that many of the non pg base or do you still get them and consider it negligible ?
Any lets say pleasant flavours from them you can recommend ? I know taste differs etc but I can recognise one i would potentially like.

I just mix, cap, shake and use.


Is there a link for that new Nautilus info?

NAUTILUS V2 PRE-ORDER using .5, .8 or 1.0Ω

First saw a person vaping where I am about a year ago and I have seen one other person since.
Mum found out about some guys who vape and she mentioned the company they buy liquid from and saying they must be very good.
I'm rather sure that one guy just came across a company online, ordered from them and when he found out the price difference between vaping and smoking he stuck to them.
Unlikely he went through many companies he just happened to find one he could tolerate and stuck with it.

I figure if I end up around 90% VG, that's close enough for government work, and I don't let it bother me.

Here's a really handy link to get you started. It's the results of a poll on ECF for the best flavors, organized by number of votes:
ECF: Best of Flavors by Votes
The ones I've tried from TFA are:
Blueberry (Extra) - good blueberry flavor, not too sweet, I tried this around 10% and will probably go up to around 12% on my next batch.
Ripe Banana - tastes like bananas. This is a stronger flavor, so I'm around 7% on this one. USE GLASS TANKS ONLY!
Peach (Juicy) - good peach flavor, also stronger, I'm at 7% now, but will probably go up to 10% on the next batch. Probably use glass tanks.
Red Hots (PG base) - tastes just like the candy at 10%. USE GLASS TANKS ONLY! There are some threads that suggest this may not be healthy to vape.
Double Chocolate (clear) - tastes good, but more like cocoa powder than chocolate. Good in a mix with peppermint (I mix about 8% chocolate, 8% vanilla, and 4% peppermint)
Espresso - weak burnt taste. Haven't figured this one out yet. Would work well in a sweet mix when you need some bitter added.
Peppermint - strong mint taste, but needs a sweetener. I've tried this with stevia based sweetener and also with vanilla, and it's good if you like peppermint candies. Might or might not be bad for plastic tanks.

Some of these fruit flavors also benefit from a few drops of lemon juice (thanks Iffy). Don't use too much, though! You will get a really unpleasant sour mouth hit.

Iffy, next time you run into older vapers and there is an opening to politely bring it up, could you please ask them if they are aware of the FDA deeming or any local/state regulations? I'm very curious if they are aware. Really pleased to know so many are switching. How cool is that?

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Tracking info for the dead hana boxes I ordered las week....

There is hope yet. Surprised they don't update the delivery date.
The tracking info will still show Oct 22 as the "expected delivery date" even after the package is delivered on a later date, I believe. The only defense I can make for that logic is that the expectation didn't change even though it wasn't met.

I'm just a bit surprised it's not updated for the customer's benefit. So far all my vape mail has gotten here quickly but I guess this is kind of zombie vape mail.


Finally got a cotton wick in. It's helping but not as much as I'd hoped. Some relief is better than none. I'll have to keep experimenting.
