Prize winners announcement thread!

[redrebel821]

Sigh... at this point, despite being on that last list of winners... I don't see any sign that I've won anything at all. So I guess it's just as well that I had forgotten the contest entirely, but getting my hopes up like that wasn't very nice.

Andria

I'm on the last list, too. My guess is a few people may have not been aware they won and they are waiting on some of them. I'm not worried, between PIF and classifieds, and just being here, I'm having a blast.

I get VT's Throat-Hit Nicotine... it's so cheap, I don't worry so much about the $6 shipping -- $16 for that is the same price as WizLabs' 120ml *before* shipping!

Andria

I have been looking for a place to get good nic and a variety of flavors in one order... and they don't have much flavor selection Shipping for me was $12 for 450 ml, free for a liter, but I don't have that much cash right now

And what's with those German flavors - have you tried? Expensive!

Either way - bookmarked, cuz I have to try this nic.

Received my prize win from RTD Vapor yesterday. It arrived in perfect condition and I couldn't be happier. Smooth and easy communications with flushdraw (ECF) and Randy at RTD.

Expecting company any moment so no time to fiddle with a pic but here's the original list and RTD threw in a few extra items.

1pc Xtar VP4 battery charger
2pcs AW IMR 18650 2200mAh batteries
2pcs Sony 18650 VTC4 batteries
2pcs Xtar battery case
1pc Cen-Tech multimeter
1pc Choice of Kanthal wire
1pc Cotton Bacon
1pc Coil winding jig

& unexpected extras
4 drip tips
1 Trident V2 RDA clone by Tobeco
1 Squid (Baby Octopus) RDA
1 keychain LED Light (psst RTD always sends these & I love them...so handy)

RTD sells authentic batteries so with safety a high priority they have been and will continue to be my go to supplier.

Big thanks to ECF and to RTD Vapor for their generosity!

WOW!! what a haul!! Is it all new to you or are you familiar with it and been a drooling to get one for yourself? You don't need anything it seems other than juice! VERY NICE!! I like hearing of the 'good vendors' who are as happy as us over the latest celebration, showing how well ECF is doing!!!! Congrats and enjoy for us in the sidelines drooling now too!! te he

Things moved slowly on the 2nd list, and the last list was a lot bigger... I think ECF staff are just overwhelmed and getting it done as quick as they can. I'm glad you won something though!!

If in fact I did. Probably best if I just forget it again.

I was around for the 10 mil post and all the excitement back then... it was a bit more harried than this time! haha I'm confident that if you were named, you will definitely get a nice gift! They are all so much 'fuller' than the last time around because I'm sure there are more vendors taking part in our celebration, and it's an advertising 'plus' for them too! So in my mind, a bit of patience, and then a bit more added, if needed, works best to get through the wait... it IS worth the wait to finally know what you'll receive and then another wait to endure until it arrives, but once it does, well we'll say good-bye to ya as you play with the new stuff for a bit (grin). Please do come back and share pics and your impressions tho and ask questions, etc. k? hang in there with us, we'll try and make the wait less strenuous for ya! haha

Smokey had your name on the list so try to cheer up and hang in there. It's a lot to sort out and (as someone said) flushdraw has to wait for responses from everyone.

I was around for that 10,000,000 post night. It was Insane! Back then, there was only one prize and one prize winner. This time around, the suppliers have really kicked in.

I cannot fathom the amount of work that Flushdraw is going through to manage all the prizes and winners

I am seriously impressed by the sheer magnitude of all that he and SJ have done for a contest like this. There was a lot of names and booty to sort through!

That was a blast! Wasn't there at least one runner up?

Word is there were a ton of winners. Congratulations to all of you!

I don't think there was even a runner up. I could be wrong though That's been known to happen now and then

I'm wrong so often it isn't even funny but I thought 1st was 500 and a runner up was 250. Perhaps different contest, lol. It was a memorable night though. I slept through this one.

Husband had to leave very early for work so asked him to refresh the page and if it was close to the 15m mark to wake me up. He said he refreshed and it said 15,000,001. Asked if he was pulling my leg and he swore he wasn't.

You know it's kinda sad that ppl have to complain about gettin something for free

Just my

It's nice to know the base and nic doesn't diminish with time like the flavors often do or as quickly...
I've remixed a tall bottle of old mix with some new flavors and am enjoying them today... In the beginning I mixed way too much up of one thing, I learned soon that's not a good way to go about DIYing... now my max is 70mls of any one thing. Enjoy otaku!! always fun to try out new 'recipes'

That's a good idea. I vape so much of my peanut butter DIY that I always mix up an 8 oz bottle at a time and end up having to add another bottle of flavoring about halfway through because it gets weak. Mayhaps I should slow my roll a tad and mix less.

NancyB, ever make it.to the Shenandoah valley. I live in the lost river valley. Were off tje Shenandoah valley

 

[redrebel821]

I think I'm gonna have to try PB when I go visit my vape shop this week.

 

[cooladdict]

No, it's really smooth at 6mg

So you got nic base, PG and VG? I have been ordering my 80/20 VG/PG with nic already added because...I am lazy? I think my original MO was to see if I liked DIY. I am now wondering if I can save more $ by buying everything separately. Now I have to go do some research. I think I will start with Wizard Labs!

 

[Amraann]

Hi Amraann - I retired from San Diego, CA in 2000, waited until hubby was done working (after tax season 2001) and hit the road. We sold our home of 35 yrs, bought a 5th wheel, and waited til we got to Nebraska to buy a diesel truck to pull it with (love our truck!) and have been across the USA many times in 15 yrs. Wash. to Maine on hwy 2, Maine to Fl seeing the east coast, wintered in Bushnell, Fl at a SKP park (did a lot of driving all over FL), then checked out the south east portion (Smokey Mtns), and wintered outside Mission TX, (back before all the border issues really escalated).
We've been up to Alaska to spend the summer in '06 (and visit a childhood friend from Seattle area now married w/kids and grandkids), and spent time in Canada visiting RV friends we met in TX, then dealt with medical issue for a couple years taking short trips here an there, and last year another long big trip, AZ to TX, over to Ky, up thru Ohio to Indiana, Illinois, Wisc., Michigan, So.Dak. and back to AZ down the west side of Colorado... we had visited a son in TX, dying friend in KY, fixed RV in Ohio, met up with relatives in Wisc, had fun in Mich looking for Lake Superior Agates on the beach (grin) and went home a new way. So in 15 yrs of retirement, we've hit all 49 states on this continent, most of the Canadian Provinces, and before retirement spent a lot of time down on the Baja Penn. south of Calif. We can now say "We've been everywhere!" haha not, but almost! (at least a lot of the back roads!) about 260,000 miles on our diesel truck now, and using a 2nd 5th wheel (they don't make them to actually live in year round, so we bought another when we'd reallllly used the first shorter one to it's max.)
Where are you in FL? I loved the beach in Naples with all the shells of every color and size!! so dif. from So. Calif. beaches!
We winter in Arizona cuz we love the high desert NW of Phoenix, so we bought an RV size lot to park on and love the fact there are 400+ other small & large 1/4 acre lots bought by others who also are retired and RVers and we have a ball telling our tales to each other, each time told they get better! HAHA Lots of activities tailored to us in our advanced ages, too. Just fun being around like minded folks I guess.

How fun!!!!! My hubby manages a state park a little north of Naples. We have many retired friends that RV full or part time during the year.

Let me know if you ever head this way again maybe we can get together!

I believe when I get around to diy time, peanut butter cup will be one I want to try and make
