Random DIY mixing and More

[Zazie]

When I first tried claptons I couldn't get over how much more flavor I got from my juices. My kanthal spools were put into a box that I labeled "For Dire Emergency Only".



Lol... I did similar things as a kid. My friends usually got me back in some fashion or other. And we used to dare each other to eat bugs and worms. The good old days and the things we did for fun.

Children are little sadists. Especially boys.

I sure hope that either you get it or they refund your money soon so you can get one elsewhere if you want to.

I am hoping I get it but if not it's okay. My wife wanted me to order another one but I told her I was fine with the one I have. It's so pretty that I left it in the box and put it in the drawer.

I am using that big Hummer 4x4 beast that I showed you pics of, I don't care what happens to it.

I looked at that Hummer but figured it was pretty big.

I lost both 60w and a 30w stick. Both my 40's and other 30's charged fine.

I have no clue what those are.

Boudin blanc is a kind of sausage. Per Wikipedia, "Cajun boudin blanc [is] made from a pork and rice mixture (much like dirty rice) in pork casings. Often includes pork liver and heart. Generally simmered or braised, although it may also be grilled." A "Boudin ball [is] a Cajun variation on boudin blanc. Instead of the filling being stuffed into pork casings, it is rolled into a ball, battered, and deep-fried."

I sure hope all you tornado people are going to be all right.

The last time you posted something like this I panicked and went on a buying spree that seemed to never stop. cheddar in the picture has been trying to add up the dollar amount for days

Oh my gosh! You must have spent thousands!

Won’t you guys be able to buy at your local vape shops? Surely your local B & Ms will stock up on various products given that they are likely to have significantly increased demands.

That's hilarious. I also hadn't had any HHV since 2015 and recently placed an order for Legend as well. One last hurrah, but we both do the same thing around the same time go figure xD

Anyway you will be happy to hear they shipped my order today, 5 days after placing it, so they are definitely getting swamped but processing time isn't too unreasonable.

I put in a moderately excessive order with HHV as well. I don’t even particularly like the NET purity line anymore but the sentiment of this possibly being the last chance to order from HHV made me pull the trigger.

I plan on experimenting with the NETs to try and knock them back into the shape they took back when they were popular. I got a bottle of Cherry bomb as well and will mix it in with Legend.
That might be all it takes to get Legend back to its hey day splendour

We just had a tornado barreling straight at us. We’ve got all supplies in our basement and it’s totally underground with no windows. It’s the best place to be. We were down there for about 15 minutes. The tornado petered out right before it got to us...and it ended up being slightly north of us. My nerves are shot. And it’s a long time from being over.

 

[Zazie]

I can't imagine what it must be like, @*RJ*. I hope everything else passes you by without incident.

One 60 lives. The other I tried 2 batteries in and it's just dead.

For those in the path of bad storms please say safe.

Do MB Shape Up Pear and TFA Pear add juiciness the way FA Pear does? Or do I have to buy yet another pear?

I don't know anything about MB Shape Up Pear.

TPA/TFA Pear is really good, and yes, it does add juiciness like FA Pear does. Those are my two favorite pears.


Matthew Topolski's (Charlie Noble) notes:

Pear [TPA] – Just a great all around pear. FA makes a truer pear flavor, Capella makes a sweeter pear, but TPA pear is just a wonderful, full, juicy, pear flavor. This is also my favorite pear to use to complement other fruit flavors to fill out a recipe, or to accentuate an apple note in a liquid.

Charging my sticks to see if any others have died. 3 to go which includes one 60 still in a box.

I saw a video on Youtube that shows how to change the battery on the isticks. The guy that did the video said that FT sells the circuit boards cheap too. I'm not sure how much an istick costs so it might not be worth repairing.

I just completed a very large BCF order after weeks and weeks of dawdling. Boy am I happy that's done. So much for trying to get down to a sane number of flavors.

Hey guys,

I notice that some of you are stocking up on pod mods in preparation for the upcoming mail restrictions.

I stopped using pod mods as my nic salt delivery devices about 6 months ago when I realised two things:

1) China’s disposable pod devices like the Igets and Gunnpods are blowing conventional pod mods away for flavour and smoothness. Igets were literally blowing away all my pod mods. My Caliburn and Vros started to collect dust.

2) I did some experimenting by using nic salts in old Boges and other cartomizers and in Kanger protank tanks and even in these older tech devices the flavour was far superior.

The pod mods I was using were the Osmall, Caliburn and Vros. I find pod mods harsh and hot with bad flavour.

Should I reconsider my stance on pod mods and invest in some of these newer ones?

I didn't pay much for them when I got them. It was a Co-Op. I just tossed one out. The other is fine.

Oh no, keep us updated. I know the power is probably already out.

That wish list thing on BCF sure is handy for building a thorough, righteous order....

Ya think?

I use the wish list a lot. I'll add one or two flavors here and there.
