I ran out of the last of my regular juice and second favorite. I had a bottle of Dragon's Blood I bought on a whim and shelved. Forgot how much I liked it. I have tried that one a couple times but it didn't come out quite right. I think I am going to try that recipe again with better flavorings. I am looking for suggestions on the best versions of the following concentrates. Fruit is not my strongest area.
Dragon fruit
Bavarian cream
Vanilla custard
French Vanilla
Real Strawberry
Thanks!

TFA dragon fruit is my go to
Cap french van is the only one I have and am pleased with it (not a big fan of vanilla as a front note)
INW shisha SB & TFA SB ripe make a good SB imo.
I don't do a lot of creams/custards, I like HS cream for a plain creamy note.
INW custard is recommended often.

Found this the other day on VU, might make a nice base to work off of. Huge thread, Squonk came up with this.
INW custard 2%
INW vanilla classic 2%
FA fresh cream 1%

Queens Cookie Jar

Recipe? Not polite to be a tease.

Queens Cookie Jar by SthrnMixer
Biscuit (INAWERA) 1%
Pear (FA) 1%
Strawberry Shisha (INAWERA) 2.5%
Sugar Cookie (CAP) 3.5%

"Can be a shake and vape. However in 3-5 days it does mature somewhat becoming a bit softer although overall flavor doesn't seem to change much...perhaps losing a bit of initial sweetness. FA Pear is probably essential to this mix and contributes some creaminess. Vaping at 510F on TC is great. Temp fluctuations do bring different flavor notes. Cooler and you get more berry, hotter and there's more cookie."

I have every ingredient, miracle of miracles. Thank you.

Great customer service IMO.

I always check before I use somewhere new... too many shady sites out there.

 

[stols001]

I usually ask with a new vendor if I haven't heard their name batted about to much (positive or negative, LOL, there are vendors on here I wouldn't buy from if you paid me.

But yes, I ask... now.... After a few unfortunate experiences along the way. There are plenty of great companies but even the "best" price will be meaningless if your order takes 3 months to arrive, and is then defective, but the warranty is "void" and etc., by the time you even receive it. So, I have learned... Slowly.

Much hotter than 510°F would be cookie with slight undertones of cancer

Good morning Shiny friends.
@lupinehorror Do some research before jumping on the Mirage. I love LV but have read about some qc issues with Mirage. Maybe wait for a second or third run.

@NolaMel Therion is top of my list. Do think they are a bit bigger than you would enjoy using.

@Hightech Redneck Eciggity is a great vendor, we were asking about Ecigg-City.

@Sickbxy Share your 4.5 juice please.

I am leaning towards the therion. I have a drawer full of just fine, price friendly mods... but if I add something else, I want something that’s built to last and has a divine vape. I agree on the Mirage, as much as I like it, the number of people siting issues makes me say wait

 

[TrollDragon]

So I shared Vaping Bogans video on my timeline, wanted to share here for 1 reason. Not a fan, but he beats a Drag with a hammer.

Honestly the Drag puts up a fight. He needs a bigger hammer and to work out...

Too much... I thought the Bogan was better than that kind of BS subscriber grabbing, but he has gone full time YT for income.

It's incredible that so many people are bent out of shape over Chi-Nee companies playing "Bite the Pillow" with each other. When iJoy ripped off their customer base with the Cappo Squonker, it wasn't really that big of a deal...

 

[NolaMel]

Ok, and a minikin.. ummm, I think I just need to win the lottery

I love my Therions. Will come down to size and hand/pocket feel for you I believe.
Without batteries:
DB 88 x 44 x 24mm 177g
Therion 90.5 x 54 x 27mm 173g
DB is solid ss construction, hence the heavier weight. Therion slides nicely in my back pocket, not so much the front.

 

[untar]

You mean Patreon. His videos should be demonetized by default by now, don't think he makes one cent from youtube.

I don't find it that surprising that reviewers like bogan and heathen who made collab products with chinese companies publicly show their dismay when one of them gets screwed over. You can call it "subscriber grabbing" but I think it goes deeper into their business model than just that.

Back to the drawing board... you’re right as USUAL Letitia. Googled images of the Therion in hands, it’s bigger than what I want . Whatever it ends up being, it has to fit in the tiny front pockets they insist on putting in women’s pants. So, maybe back to the Minikin

It will be interesting to see how long this #boycottvoopoo movement lasts. From what I understand there have been similar calls to boycott manufacturers before and they didn't last long.

You are completely correct about how surprised everyone is about one Chinese company screwing over another. NEWSFLASH!!!! Chinese companies are equal opportunity thieves.

 

[oldude 61]

If you could have one dual battery (non squonking) mod, For under $200 ...what would you get? Or what mod would you absolutely buy again?

Sx mini q already have 2

 

[Letitia]

Minikin

Great device, I did not find the shape to be pocket friendly. I used it for a few days before giving it to Meg. She likes it but is a tabletop for her too. Maybe check the dimensions for the Asmodus Reborn.

Chinese companies are equal opportunity thieves.

American companies are no better, they just care enough about public image to have perfected spin control.

The number of vapers who care about this nonsense is probably pretty small - and the number of international vapers who even know who this guy is probably even smaller by orders of magnitude
