If you mean that Parrot Bay stuff, it's pretty good taste-wise. But don't count on it having any "medicinal value" at all. It's pretty weak. I made the mistake of taking a few gallons of that camping once. Couldn't figure out why I wasn't stumbling into the fire after the first gallon. Then I looked at the proof.

No, I'm not fond of Parrot Bay..maybe I'm just thinking of the lime bite (or whatever it's called) Morgan then. That Parrot Bay is pretty weak and it is way too sweet for my liking.

Hello all, hectic summer time pulled my away from the banter. Update on my peach ginger tobacco brew.......um lets just hope some steeping time makes it a bit, lets say, tolerable.

Oh boy..not much flavor? Too much?

 

[Kegger]

everything is really muted, the tobacco almost tastes like hazelnut now (which i hate), peach is perfumy, and the spices are muddy, i wasnt out anything, just not what i was hoping for

 

[PittBoss]

Well that's a bummer..could you at least swig it?

 

[Kegger]

eh, im not too worried about it. I shoulda never tried the other equipment, i want it too bad now

 

[PittBoss]

Lol that will happen. Anything in particular you are itching for?

 

[Kegger]

i tried a buzz and and a lava tube, liked them both. think i like the lava tube a bit better because of the bigger button, but also like the buzz because it doesnt have the digital display which i think is just something to go wrong

 

[hawkizefan]

I say swig it!
Hectic summer no doubt. I ran all day Monday at work...got home and fell out on the couch. Unfortunately my entire June is going to be like this.
I'm kinda itching for a buzz...and a sabertouch...and another bullet...and about 3 others.

Kegger...trying to locate some spare switch parts I have for that rs...think I have them . Best i could get right off the bat was intermittent firing.

Well you have a possibility of something going wrong with anything that is mass produced, really. I can say that I like my LT for what it is and what I payed for it. It is still going strong, although I have only had it for a few months. Haven't tried a Buzz yet..but I am curious about them.

 

[TarFreeMe]

The Buzz is nice. Sam has one that I've checked out a few times. It came down to a toss up for me between that and the Provari. I went with the Provari for its ruggedness (I do a lot of outdoor stuff that typically involves a lot of beverage consumption) and ability to check everything from voltage to atty resistance.

He also just started selling a decent VV that I'm sure I'll be buying in the near future for a backup since my wife has commandeered every ego kit I've bought.

Hawk don't break your neck lookin for that I know you busy. I'm probably gonna break down and buy a VV device. Just with a short time using one, I saw with a little adjusttment, a ok juice can become a good

Ssshhhh..... the natives are sleeping

Damn it tar...you woke me up...lol..
Sorry I've been a bit absent as of late...this will be my June and part of July.....

Quick update....

Sorry kegger...my rs is probably, at least, going to need a new switch...probably not a whole new cap, but a new cap may be a better option as mine has the older type switch.

My dumb ... just finally made the Sam/local supplier connection. Went back through trying to find his info...but it was haphazard and halfassed. Somebody post his contact info if you have it.

The diy French pipe is getting more awsomer and awesomer everyday...and it runs a close second to the black and mild....for whatever that's worth. Also ...the black and blue berries are outstanding as well...just need to figure out the best ratio to incorporate them into the baccos.

I'm severely jealous and bummed that I won't be able to make the meet-up. If you all could slam a beer and take a vape for me I would appreciate it.

Pitt...your damn psyco midget keeps calling me in the middle of the night. Don't really mind the calls...but he keeps giving me a play by play of what's going on at your place. Interesting/disturbing all at the same time. To be honest...I find it interesting, but it is rather late...

Ok...think that covers it. Did anyone miss me..??
I've missed you guys.

I've been busy too. Just check in whenever I get a chance.

[PittBoss]

Wow, I too have been missing some interesting banter around here. Busy as hell myself as well..didn't even notice until somebody came in here waking everybody up! Lol, Veal just likes to keep you in the know, Hawk. Hope he hasn't given away any secrets or divulged too much information. Although, by the sounds of it, he has and it has piqued your interest. I like that! Your a man who knows what he wants! Haha..

Hello everybody!

I've come to realize that we are kinda like in Switzerland here....not owned or moderated by ecf unless somebody requests it. You're all good as far as I, or I'm sure any one here, is concerned. Can't see how anyone could possibly/reasonably have a problem with someone giving out helpful, useful info.
...lol..
Really pitt....a miniature donkey too....not that there's anything wrong with that..but

Lol, my ol' lady's grandpa breeds miniature donkeys..so weird that you said that, we were just talking about it.

So what is all new with you, sir? Any recent developments in the DIY department?

Lol...that is so funny that grandpa actually breeds mini donkeys.
As far as diy...I have so much juice laying around. Probably over 100ml of my own and a couple hundred of "pro" juice. I need to blow through some of the pro stuff and tinker with my own. Still fooling with the main flavor base but think I'm real close. 15 drops in 9ml seems good but you don't know that for about 2 or 3 weeks.

French pipe and b&m are really good. The berries are very good also...heck, there all good.

How about your convictions? Any award winners?

It is kinda funny, except I never knew how much demand for those little buggers there is..and how much he makes from them. Go figure.

I have some of that French Pipe steeping, gotta hold off of it for about 4 more days

Otherwise I have playing around more with mixing multiple flavors into creations that you would see offered from vendors. So far it seems to be working pretty well. I guess word got around that I was DIYing and now there is a nice handful of people that want me to make liquids for them and so I ended up making a bit of a preliminary menu for what I have at the moment. Dunno how I feel about that yet, seeing as how I'm no mixologist..but I suppose it couldn't hurt if I want to go that route in some fashion or another in the future. Still need to pick up some of those "special" tobacco additives from PA though..I have a feeling that they might be a key into getting those tobaccos to that "commercial level" that we have been after.
