As I type this, I'm vaping HHV's Peppermint Bark and simply love it. I ordered two new flavors from them with their 15% off Valentines sale. One is Caramel Apple tobacco and the other is Mocha Java Smooth. In theory, I should like them both, but won't know until I taste them.
Fresh Grindz is their best coffee vape. Just going by the feedback as I hate coffee....to vape or to drink. CAT, on the other hand, I love! My second EDV. But I admit not many others like it (they don't dislike it just prefer others). A juice like CAT is a great example of how aging affects e-liquid. When fresh, you can taste all three flavors individually. When it gets to 2 - 3 months old it blends into one flavor.

You turned me onto HHV to begin with. I wasn't looking to buy anything, but then the 15% off email came and I spent $71, but got 200ml of juice. CAT just sounded cool and I do drink coffee. Lot's of coffee and I love Mocha Frappucino's from Star Bucks so that sounded good as well.

You may like it. You seem to have a tolerant palate. Fresh Grindz is a straight up black coffee. No milk, no cream, no cocoa, no nothing but regular coffee. I know many people who don't like coffee vapes, but they really like Fresh Grindz.

I'm so lucky to have the vape shop I have. When I first started shopping there, they were all mechanical sub ohm drippers and they sold mostly clones. Today, they only sell authentic gear and from the owner down to the staff, everyone is happily vaping the day away on a Radius or P3 topped with a Kabuki. They of course still cater to sub ohm drippers, but they themselves seem to have moved back to regulated mods.

They should gift you the title "High Inquisitor of the Provarinati" A bloodless full B&M conversion to the faith would support it i'm thinking...

That's just it. In theory you should like them which is why recommendations were costing me a :censored: load of money. The upside was my few vaping friends were making out like bandits cause I was giving it away to them.

Perhaps in addition to Sir Rod, Master of Lube, I can be also known as The Provari Whisperer! Has a catchy sound, dont'cha' think? Yes it does!

I used to hang out at vape shops a lot because where I come from it is a social thing. Then they became too vappy, so I stopped. I'm sensitive to VG, and it bothers me too when too much is in the air. After Vape Bash last year, I was sick for a week.

Fortunately, the cloud comps have slowed down quite a bit. While I believe we all have a choice in what we vape, I thing that the clouds thing sometimes goes a bit too far and is hurting our cause.

I feel ya, I've given away two shoeboxes full of juice so far (almost have a third ready). Seems like my taste buds are really good, or really bad. I'm not sure....
The more $ it costs, the more I can't vape it. I really do want to love it, I just get OVERwhelmed by so called good juice. It's to much for me.
MBV hit the nail on the head for me. No extra shots, and I taste everything they say is in there. While other people say it's not enough for them.

I'm trying my hand at DIY right now. First batch, I called horse:censored:. And dumped it down the drain. Let the games begin.

Don't forget, I owe you a drink in AC this summer.:thumbs:

I haven't given any away yet, but as a relative newbie that went overboard with lots of different juices, I will be soon. Amazing how certain flavours can make me want to puke, but others absolutely love them. Really sweet peach and nut flavoured juice come to mind. :yawn: To each their own I guess.

My DIY has turned out really (suprisingly) good. I have been using exact recipes posted on ECF and a few other places, and I am suprised at how good DIY can be. If I mix like a mad scientist without a recipe, it is always gross.

I found through DIY that I like my flavorings at about half what most recipes recommend. Different strokes for different folks. I still have some great premix juices that cut down by a third or so taste much better to me. Good luck mixing!

Good point!

Many of the more popular eJuices are 30% flavour and sometimes eVen higher which is becoming too much for me. I prefer 15% most of the time and generally no more than 20%. Depends on the flavour, of course.

Thanks for the info. I will give that a try, this weekend.

I prefer really low flavoring amounts. Usually 1% to 2% total. :w00t:
Me too, I mix them like I said, at 2-5%, but then I'll make up a bottle to fill stuff with a blend of flavors, and cut it with about 1/3 to 1/2 non flavored base. Some days I actually prefer to just vape non flavored base. I coud do away with flavoring altogether and it really would not be a big deal for me, the base has it's own unique profile, and I find it pleasant enough.

Well, it's time to clear out some old mods, some iStick 20s, some eGo batts.

I was thinking of pifing them, but frankly, I just don't trust them enough to do that.

The iSticks, whoa horsey! They all seem a little wonky at this point. Some of the displays don't go off after depressing the fire button, some of the 510s are doing what iStick 20 510s do; they just don't inspire enough confidence to make me want to hand them over to anybody.

The egos, are egos, and they are old enough that, again, it just isn't worth the risk that they might go rogue.

So, into the battery recycle bin they go.

Too bad, but that's the way it is.

Smart move. A few months back I dug out my old Inferno batteries. They were Volcano brand Ego type things, they just wouldn't take a charge, I got plenty of use out of them, heck, they were what got me off the death sticks :) I retired them to the recycle bin, I just didn't want them in the house anymore.
