Pure Vapes Ordering Thread

[Nikhil]

The Bourbon Cigar samples I sent out today have been tweaked a little, and I'm almost out so let me know how they are.

I've had a few requests for a dessert using cream cheese and I plan on testing Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing once I can get a hold of it (gave it to a friend).

OMG carrot cake!!!!!!!!

 

[lynleestar]

wow do I wanna try that carrot cake when you get it going~!

 

[k1young]

Love your shipping rate!!! Makes it so you can order 1 or 2 things to try w/o paying huge shipping fees. I'll def. give you a try in the near future. I even booked marked this thread...

Nik, received my juices today (strawberry shortcake, spearmint, vanilla cinnamint, bourbon cigar) and I am hooked! They are absolutely delicious! My husband wants me to order a big bottle of the bourbon cigar because he is hooked after trying just the sample size. lol!

 

[Nikhil]

Thank you! I've gotten some varying feedback on the Bourbon Cigar, overall positive though, so it will likely be released in a week.

I'm also preparing to have a PG-Free Honeysuckle in the Basic Flavors section in a couple of weeks.

 

[Vvenus]

I'll be sure to let my husband know on the bourbon cigar. Honeysuckle sounds fantastic! Something more to look forward too!

 

[GiMante]

Nikhil, I received my juices today. Fantastic! Love them. Specially the Mango dreams! Homerun on that one! I will definitely be ordering more and getting the word out about your great juice!

 

[Nikhil]

That's fantastic GiMante, thanks!

Some more updates - I will have PG-Free Blueberry and Pecan coming soon, and will be adding those to the Create A Danish/Ice Cream section once I do final testing. When that happens I'll also have the Vanilla Ice Cream PG-Free, so the Ginger Snap, Blueberry, and Pecan will be PG-Free with both the Danish and Ice Cream (provided you get 0/100 PG/VG ratio).

I will be ordering just as soon as I figure out my "juice budget" for the next few weeks! Nikhil, not only do your flavors sound amazing, but obviously your commitment to disclosure is absolutely fantastic.

As an aside: give me a short rundown of your flavor description & I will write product descriptions for juice-as-compensation. But I'm actually not kidding, PM me if you'd like to hear my experience with online sales.

NikHil: if you could come up with a good coffee and tobacco mix, you would have a customer for life. Currently I'm vaping a blend from Gourmet Vapor called Seattle Blend, and I am mixing FSUSA's CoffeeX and RY4 together to try and get the taste I want. -Bump-

Thank you! Your offer sounds intriguing, I just made up the product descriptions and probably should have used a thesaurus at the least. I may take you up on it.

Interesting idea, I'll give it a shot some time. Unfortunately I currently have my plate full of things in development and a limited budget!

I do have Torrone! I don't think I'm going to get QHit, although I did test it before it was released and it was decent. However, it's not cost effective in my opinion since it's fairly weak and has to be used at high percentages (and if you like TH you'd use it in every batch), while the TH additive I use is similar but stronger. I have asked Max if he could increase the strength of it, and he said he will look into it. I may eventually sell the one I use, though.

The Bourbon Cigar is working out well, and I've started some research on RY4 and think I have a good idea of what I will use for initial testing of it. I'm out of samples on the Bourbon Cigar as of tonight.

By the way, thanks for including me in your signature! The link routes me some advertisement, though. If you want to link to my thread you can use this URL:

Writing descriptions, especially for something you've made can be HARD I know! In particular flavors, I'd think. I think of some of the juice reviews I've done and really struggled to convey what the flavor was like - sometimes you can't, you have to convey the experience instead.

 

[Aceyboogie]

Nik, thanks again for just being honest and straight forward. I'll be placing an order this week as soon as my direct deposit kicks in...

 

[Nikhil]

Thanks Aceyboogie, I am just glad to be doing something I enjoy and have no problem sharing information. I also don't plan on using any flavors containing diacetyl in any new recipes.

My power went out this morning for a couple of hours for no apparent reason, but I managed to get all order paid for by this afternoon shipped out today.

Yep, and I think the most problematic part is that each person has very different tongues as well as varying mental reactions to what they taste, especially with complex combination of flavors. I heard on NPR that the sense of smell has 2% of the human genetic code devoted to it, which is more than any of our other senses. It also creates the strongest emotional response in our brains in terms of memory and nostalgia. As an example, I have heard that my Chocolate tastes like high quality truffles from one person and that it tastes like celery from another (as some similar flavors from other suppliers also do for her)! I've also had people tell me the Strawberry Shortcake reminds them of the ones they had as children.

Just popped the Blackberry Brandy into my REO Mini. This is the first I've tried it since ordering it a couple of weeks ago, and it is excellent - even my wife, who doesn't vape (or smoke), committed about how nice it smelled. You know that if it pleases the wife that I'll be placing another order. I'm still waiting, though, for a good tobacco and coffee mix.

 

[Sallana]

The smell of Nik's Blackberry Brandy actually makes my husband queezy, lol. But I does love it!!

 

[Nikhil]

Thanks banjo! The coffee will have to wait a little, I have a new coffee flavor I'm going to test.

Since there's a lot of interest in tobacco flavors, after the Carrot Cake I will be working on RY4 and then Captain Black.
