One of my favorite vapes is the orange cream from freedomsmokeUSA. Takes a month of steeping for me to be able to taste it. How old is your bottle? Perhaps it needs some more steeping.

I'm in a happy happy happy mood...FT says my stuff is suppose to ship the 7th, that's today over yonder. So, I expect it will ship sometime next week and find it's way over here to the P.O. Bx by the end of the month. Wanted to add the Kfun Lite to the order, but don't want to slow things down. May do a separate order for it. They say it has Air Control...anyone bought one of those from FT? LMK what you think of it, please. 
Mine too!!!!!
I did ok on regular algebra, 2 B's and a C... then came geometry, and at first I thought, oh, no problem, a point's a point, a line's a line... but the grades there tell the tale... A, C, F!!!
After that I stuck with "Business Math" !!! Did great on that! And even college accounting, no sweat -- it's all ARITHMETIC!!!

PS: I'm sharing that word problem thing with my son... he'll crack up! He tried to teach me the basics of chemistry once... HAH!!! He KNOWS what a doofus I am with math!!!

So glad to hear that. We were a bit worried!!!
That's a good price!! Thanks for the tip!! I think I'm going to buy a Kayfun next payday. Time to start wrapping my own coils. I'm going to have to get quite a bit at first including the meter but will pay off in the end. (that's what I tell myself everytime I buy something)
I said yesterday that I would post in the e-liquid DIY forum about the mix I made yesterday that I'm using for mornings, "Morning Spice" -- because it has a soft throat hit, and I can't take throat hit when I first get up. However I never did get to posting that, so I figured I'd just post it here.
1 ml Oak Barrel Cider - Pipe Sauce
18mg/ml
1 ml Halo Turkish
12mg/ml
1 ml Virginia - MyFreedomSmokes
6mg/ml
1/2 ml Red Oak Tobacco - High Desert Vapes
6mg/ml
1/2 ml Clove - MadVapes
6mg/ml
3 ml Cinnamon Redhot - Killer Juice
6mg/ml
7ml, avg. 7.5mg/ml concentration
Now, there's actually some confusion about this; I figured the Cinnamon Redhot at 6mg/ml, because that's what I ordered. However, on the bottle it says "0mg Nicotine"... and if that's true, then the total mixture only averages to 5.25mg/ml. I don't know if the bottle is mislabelled, or they just sent the wrong thing -- I suspect the latter. So that means that I got thru my "morning phase" which is always hardest for me, at 5.25mg/ml. And the taste was excellent, and though this mix has a really soft throat hit when I try it during the day/evening, first thing in the morning, it has *just enough* of a throat hit for me to feel satisfied with it, but not enough to make me cough up a lung a la cigarettes.
I may tweak the recipe, because of that mg discrepancy; also I thought it could have used a touch more apple (the oak barrel cider), and maybe a touch more of the Red Oak Tobacco. Other than that, it tastes really good; sweet but not TOO sweet, and very rich with cinnamon, especially on the exhale.
A fair success for my first effort, I think...

Got Vape Mail today from MFS! I had been wanting to try their Slims Menthol and their Virginia. Got them both in 12mg which is lower than my normal 18, but I wanted to try lower to see how I fare with it. First off, the Slims Menthol -- Holeee Moleee can you say "Vape your Toothpaste straight??" LOL that is what I was afraid of. So, I will be using that in small amounts to add to other things. It is a nice menthol-minty taste, just too overpowering on its own. I put 1.5 mls of the Slims Menthol into one of the new Anyvape Mini Viva tanks that was also in my order. Didn't want to just dump it out, so to that I added 2+ mls of the regular un-mentholated Virginia that I got from them. OK, it's getting better. But my taste buds are going to have to rest a bit from those first few hits of the straight menthol, lol. Then I will probably be tweaking some more.
I also got a 2nd Mini Viva, some ego-510 adapters, a beauty ring, a bottle of nic juice, and a "girly" ego 1100 battery, just to have in my stash!
Aaaannnd, just got a email from FastTech. My order has finally shipped So my Vamo V2 is on the way (with other assorted goodies). Already have received my Nitecore charger and the batteries. Have a Kayfun Lite clone due to arrive any day, and some wick and wire to play with. Will be fun times hangin around the mailbox in the upcoming days

This might get a little long, but I have a testimony...especially for you newbies and anyone on the fence about to vape or not to vape.
Nov. 2011 I was at my Dr. He showed me my chest x-ray and told me I HAD to quit smoking and I had emphysema. He gave me a prescription for one of those inhaler things...I don't recall the name. I decided not to fill the prescription and instead, drove to Walgreens and bought a Blu disposable. My feeling at that time was "this just has to work" or I'm in trouble, cause I cannot quit cold turkey.
With that first puff, I knew I could give up cigarettes as long as I could vape instead. The Dr had me take one of those breath things that measures lung capacity. I did not do well.
I was back at the Dr this morning. Had another lung capacity test and it was normal...normal. I smoked for 40+ years and have been vaping 27 months.
Is vaping worth it? I think so. Vape on, everybody.

That is awesome!!! Way to go lilac!!! I know you feel a whole lot better to! I do. I don't get winded like I used to. Last year was a big change for me. Quit smoking for ecigs in Feb 2013 and then in August I had Gastric Bypass surgery. I weighed 360lbs. in August. I now way 267lbs and I'm still losing 1-2 lbs a week. I feel so much better!!!
If anyone else is in the north Dallas are, local b&m is letting you have as many bottles of juice as you can grab for $6, random flavors but I got 230 ml for $12, wicked hot vapors on alma and parker

That is just great, Lilac!! I am so pleased for you, your health, and your family - they get to have you around a lot longer than they probably thought, when you were still smoking.
It gives me great hope for my own asthmatic lungs too -- my asthma has never been very severe, and I always cheated before seeing the doc, taking 3-4 puffs off my rescue inhaler and coughing up a lung to make sure they sounded clear when he listened to them.
But yesterday, my 6th day smoke-free, I woke and was completely baffled that my lungs DIDN'T sound like a waterpipe, and didn't feel like I'd huffed a bag of cement the night before. I can tell a slight decrease in my need for the inhaler, also. I'm sure we all thought, at some point, that the cigarettes would kill us, in the end, and the end wouldn't take as long arriving as we'd have wished. But now -- !!! We might just make it!!!

Hi all! Won't reply to you individually because it was several pages back.
Washington legislation and Mt Baker Vapor, I'm doing my share tweeting every day, are you? We should all be doing whatever we can, even if all we can do is tweet. I have no $$ to pitch in for CASSAA, although I would in a heartbeat, so all I can do is tweet.
My FT order hasn't shipped yet, but I am so excited about receiving it even if they are all clones.
Glad to see Lilac finally got back in under the correct account. YAY!
As for me. Had a long talk with son, who refuses to let me move to FayetteNAM and live in the hood. He's obligated himself to $300 a month and if I can get on EBT, just might make it until my settlement. I can't tell you how much I friggin hate the idea of having to depend on my son to survive. I really can't put that into words without cussing a 'blue streak'. It's ok for your kids to owe you $, it's ok to help them out when they need it, but it should NOT be the other way around, in my mind. Since I have no alternative, unless I can find a cheaper place, somewhere close to here, since I have to pick up a script every month from my DR, so a 250 mile roundtrip every month will save me nothing @16mpg. All I can do is pay him back when I get my settlement. OMG! This so sux.
My neighbor across the hall, who I keep in juice, does woodworking at a friend's shop and replaced the handle on my Old Hickory cleaver with Brazilian Cherry and it's absolutely beautiful! Why do I tell you this? Because, after I get my mods that are ordered, I'm gonna get him to make me a nice holder for them, to keep things organized. Will be sure to post pics so everyone can see. I'm sure if anyone was interested, he could make more, he's a college kid and always broke! Which is why I keep him in juice, that and he sharpened all my OH knives to the point of razor blades. I cut myself and never felt it! Got to be more careful now.
I just can't wait to get all the vapemail I got coming!

I'm really glad that you worked out *something* even if it's somewhat less than desirable -- but I've always felt like, we supported our son when he was a kid, so when we're elderly and can't support ourselves, it's his turn to support us! And actually he feels the same way. In my family it's a bit of a tradition -- my grandparents raised 7 kids thru the depression, my "pop" a loom fixer (mechanic) in a cotton mill. All their kids graduated high school and many went to college; my uncle particularly was successful, becoming a top executive with the bank that eventually evolved into Bank of America; when my "pop" retired, my uncle bought them a house, and paid for the house and taxes and insurance on it, for the rest of their lives, while their social security supported them the rest of the way. I think it's just the way of nature.
Now be careful with those knives!

How wonderful that you are breathing better. That is a true blessing.
Ok my last order from last month has come in, and I'm saving up, so nothing more this month
VAPEMAIL
Got both my silencers in.
The adjustment is REALLY hard to see
And no matter which mech I put them on, the edges of the mech are bigger, and you really have to take the darned thing off to change the voltage
Other than that, they work really well.

Thanks! I will need a lot of guidance, because I haven't done a rebuild, but I have great faith in me and you all
It's easy the hardest part is figuring out how much cotton to use. PM me or post here if your stuck or with questions. With a little practice your be a coil queen in no time. Did you pull the trigger on one?

I got vapemail today, too! My 2nd T3S, this one in "smoke" to differentiate it from the clear one I had already, and a replacement coil, as a security blanket.
Also, got the first of the different Virginias I'm trying out as possible substitutes for the really good Virginia I get from myfreedomsmokes, and I have to say, I'm kinda disappointed. It has just a *smidge* of the sweet-apple taste that the good Virginia has just a smidge of, but really none of the savory notes, and there's a strong chemical taste. So into the drawer with it, to age for a nice long time, and I'll also shake and air it regularly, and hopefully that chemical taste will dissipate, and perhaps some of the savory mild-tobacco notes will emerge.
The Hangsen Virginia will be here tomorrow or the next day, so I can try it. Since I was disappointed with the one I got today, I went ahead and ordered the other I found, which is here in Georgia, so it ought to get to me pretty quickly.
