Lolz, I actually had a little of a dream about this last night. I think I even woke up Jen and wondered if our pay check was deposited so I could go order..that was probable a mistake. But put in my orders before 9 hoping everything goes out today..we shall see. I am going to imagine it will drag over the next few days but then the fun comes! Ordered nic and flavours from VZ: HFC, VFC, Real cig, coffee, mandarin, cream, vanilla, apricot, 555, blueberry, hazelnut, almond, apricot, B&M, Island tobacco, dunhill and blackberry. From ECX I grabbed banana, RY4, apple, MTS, watermelon, tutti frutti, lime tahiti, lemon, melon, coconut, honey, rum, another 555, MA, menthol crystals, koolada, BW, caramel, pineapple, peach, strawberry, chocolate, mango, sucralose, cherry and raspberry. Also picked up about 70 bottles or so just in case I start getting mix crazy, some more syringes, and a few misc. things. A gallon of each VG and PG from Essentials Depot and while we are at the market later, I'm gonna grab a bottle of ACV. I think that about does it..until next month. I will probably pick up a couple of other tobacco bases that I couldn't pick up today, but that should tide me over for a while I would imagine.

other than possibly some more nic, I think you should be good for 2012 lol...
Really interested in quite a few of those. will be looking forward to your thoughts on them, especially the difference between vz brand vs ecx brand and how the ones that overlap like to 2 555's compare from 1 brand to the other.

I need to do a short vz order soon....guess I'll start compiling a short list.

 

[PittBoss]

Yeah, I'm pretty intrigued by the difference as well. After reading some in both threads, it seems that a lot of them are pretty similar in flavour and consistency. Grabbed a liter of ACV for a buck and a little bottle of citric acid to check the difference between that and the MA and a respirator, so should be all set for the moment. Now to read through some of the recipes and see if any catch my eye.

I should have started with a short order, those flavours are in expensive but add up quickly. Just wish there was an option to get like 2 or 3ml for some of them rather than 5 or 10. What flavours are you scoping out..any particular tobaccos?

 

[hawkizefan]

Any bacco really but real cig, island, 555, b&m, Virginia....oh heck...just about any of the tobaccos pique my interest.
Also a few of the fruits as add-ins and need to pick up some acv.
This black fire/apricot is getting to be rather nice....

 

[PittBoss]

Is that Black Fire, FA highly concentrated flavour? I had that in my cart and must have mucked that up, cause when I got my invoice, it wasn't in there..or they ran out before I checked out this morning..I really wanted that smokey flavour to pair with some nuts, cream and vanilla or chocolate..

 

[hawkizefan]

Ok...the vg/apricot just blew up both of my vaping coworkers. I'm a th junkie, so maybe that's why I'm digging it. They both got smoket/hint of sweet but didn't identify apricot till I said it.

Think ill stick with the higher pg and nic. The both of them coughing their butts off told me I'm in the right ballpark.

Yes it is and it really is smokey...in a good way.

 

[PittBoss]

Sweeeet..Ill make sure that gets in on the next go around. Oooh, and you paired it with apricot..maybe the apricot will settle a bit and be more "fruitful"!

 

[hawkizefan]

Liking apricot, but maybe something better than top vapor apricot. Really want to check out raspberry and blackberry...and really off the top of my head no other "fruit" excites me....(look out...here it comes..if you don't dis me over that last comment ill be a tad disappointed...I would ride you hard on that one).
I can't even remember the topic at hand now...lol...sometimes I need a nanny...lol...

I could edit this...but where's the fun in that....

 

[PittBoss]

I don't even know where to begin my array with all of that. You say you are excited by certain fruits (and it is in quotations) and then that you will ride me hard..It is just way too easy..maybe you will want to take a "pull" from one of my mixed "fruits" while you're at it..or maybe just a push? Hey, it's all good..as long as you inhale!

I also reaaaally wanted to try some warm cinnamon flavouring, but could not find it in any of the super or highly concentrate areas..unless it totally hid from me. I wanted to try a 555 with some apple and cinnamon, but now I am left unknowing! Ok, on a serious note, there really isn't any other fruit flavours that jump out at you?

 

[hawkizefan]

I'm so confused...don't know if I should be VERY embarrassed or SLIGHTLY excited

Your good folks Pitt...I look forward to interacting with you...don't know if you actually "get me", but at least you don't go running away screaming...

 

[hawkizefan]

As far as the other "fruits"....don't know. I've done the apple, banana,..uh..strawberry...
I could also maybe do some peach(i have and it didn't do it for me..but see the possibilities)..blueberry.....

Pineapple(nope)..pear(nope..even though I love pears)..orange(nope)...lemon,lime,kiwi...nope...

Guess I'm kinda boring.

Well, if you happen to get excited, even slightly, please keep it to yourself lol. I also don't run away from much, least of all, your advances, haha.

Your a good guy and it is a surprise how we can't seem to get more people in here. "Ran into" another Lincolnite in the new members area yesterday, but he didn't seem interested in coming over here and keeping us company. I might PM everybody with a NE location tag and let em know that we exist here.

Man you are eerily similar to my SO as far as fruit flavours go. The basics, no citrus but she does like pear. I'm more fond of citrus and exotic fruits..although with e liquid, it is a bit more difficult to mix with tobacco..sans the pineapple. One of my favorite liquids from a vendor is English Meadow from Mister-E-Liquid. Rich and sassy (if you will) tobacco, pineapple and an almost grassy undertone if you can imagine that in an actual tasty way..

 

[hawkizefan]

I see grassy mentioned a lot. Probably have had grassy but not sure what that tastes like. I guess my pallet isn't that defined or discriminating to pick up those subtle nuances.

If you ponied up for expedited shipping your stuff should be nearly here. Hope you put an addition on the mailbox so it would accept the crate they had to pack your order in.

Nic from vz? What size and was it reasonable? I got 250ml from wizard labs for $30.

 

[PittBoss]

I don't remember seeing a darn option for expedited at VZ..There was a step-up option but it probably wouldn't have made a difference. The nic was $50 for 250ml @ 100mg..I know, I paid for convenience! Saw the WL nic, but wanted to make sure I got everything the same day, lol, plus I got 10% off. I think next time I grab nic, it will be from WL though. Oddly enough the 2 gallons of VG and PG might be here today according to the tracking..

 

[hawkizefan]

wl has good prices and the customer service is top notch. Don't know how the nic stacks up to vz or if I could even notice any difference if there is one, but john at wl is the epitome of cs and has earned my repeat business. He mentioned lots of new flavors coming and think he said concentrated so I'm keeping my eye out for that.

I think I need to mix a bit soon....think I need a few more flavors. Don't think the "needing" ever ends lol...

 

[PittBoss]

I do also like, however, WL's flavour line is under $2/8ml..and a lot of them are only around ~5% in recipes. Might also be something to consider. But if they have SC flavours..and they keep it around $2.50-$3..That might be a game changer! Now if only there was a single vendor with competitive prices that had all of that PLUS great prices on VG and PG..until then, $50 for a gal of each shipped..and 2-3 vendors for everything else isn't bad. Especially if ya order enough for free shipping..

So, any new mixes you are working on as of yet? That apricot/BF mix looking better than before?

 

[hawkizefan]

I got a gl. Of pg for $22 at tractor supply but vg?? Other than humeco vg I dunno. Interwebz I guess but that's darn cheap and I use very little of it. John at wizard did say the new flavors would cost more but our conversation was right in the middle of buffet to-do so I was hurried and didn't catch all of it.

1 vendor for all of my needs would be awesome.

 

[PittBoss]

Yeah, it's that darn VG..I have found the Humco and Now brand VG locally for about $10-$25 depending on size, but that has been hit and miss it seems. Nothing like a gallon though, but if I get in a pinch it could work. Have just used (and still have quite a bit) the CVS usp VG but it seems to be a little on the sweet side for me. Just over $5/6 oz. to have on hand though..

ECX probably comes closest with a one stop shop, but I have heard the nic is a bit "iffy" and the prices on PG/VG is standard and still not the best of buys for what you get..
